While looking for something else related to Tarot and poetry, I came across a nice article on the site for a publication titled Arcana: The Tarot Poetry Anthology. Like so many Tarot blogs, this one is no longer active—but the content is still browsable, so thought I’d mention.

Now for the main event:

This is an impressive 59-slide PowerPoint deck produced by Sorensen and posted some years ago on SlidePlayer. You can see the whole presentation there—but to pique your interest, here’s a selection of slides. First, the introduction:

And here’s a representative sequence:


So of course I looked further for Sorensen/Tarot, and found two interesting items.

First—this very recent (very brief!) book:

I haven’t read it yet, but I’m intrigued. Here’s the table of contents:

Also intriguing, this evolving collaboration from 2013:

In caser that’s not readable:

Some cartomantic folks like to use cards for poetic purposes. Such as finding inspiration for writing, or finding inspiration for how to live more poetically. We have played before in the context of Taroflexions where we have created exquisite corpses, or followed a visual idea through another set of images. Here is a recent take on a poem that started as an exchange between Fortune Buchholz and Enrique Enriquez and ended as a collaboration between the 2 plus myself, Bent Sorensen, and Robert Place.

If you’re interested in this topic, or any of those “cartomantic folk”—well worth a read.


And there you are for today’s Note.

If you can . . . please donate to help the people of Ukraine. C
