2021: A Retrospective

My favorite newsletters and posts . . .

2021: A Retrospective

I ended 2021 thinking about which EP newsletters were my favorites—and of course I couldn’t decide. So in the interests of actually making a list, I decided to limit myself to just five. In no particular order:

  1. Suzanne Treister’s Hexen 2.0, because it amazed me

  2. Haute Tarot, because it delighted me

  3. Tarot Noir, because it surprised me

  4. My Tarot Manifesto, because it’s foundational

  5. Pi Day Tarot, because it was fun to write

But! In order to give myself a little more running room, I came up with these three “special awards”:

Most overstuffed newsletter: A collage that includes the Tarot scene in Have Gun, Will Travel (one of my favorites finds!); a profile of Bill Butler (poet, publisher, activist, and pathbreaking Tarot author); diverse notes on the seminal anthology Wheel of Tarot: A New Revolution; and Lily Stone’s “Tarodelics” deck.

Most serious/important stories: a three-way tie between The Trouble with Tarot; Hard Questions; and Tarot and Content Marketing.

Favorite deck discoveries: a tie between Fiona March’s lovely “Bird Tarot” and Themush Noon’s unique “Values of the Thai Woman.” (Runner up: Celestae's gorgeously Gothic "Tarot of the Wyrd.")


More choices may magically appear on this list, as I continue to revisit some 2021 stories, and connect them with developments in 2022. C
