" -- Mary K. Greer, author of Archetypal Tarot and Tarot for Your Self "The beauty of A Walk through the Forest of Souls is that it addresses the possibility of asking the impossible questions. No one can trump Rachel Pollack when she demonstrates just how we can have an infinite conversation with the cards. In her hands, the cards move from the intangible symbol to the concrete manifestation of a solution that is always anchored in astonishment. We go, ''aha'', and that''s where the magic is." --Camelia Elias, PhD, director of studies at Aradia Academy and editor-in-chief at EyeCorner Press.
