Description

The tarot has been used to play games since the 15th century.

Since that time each card has also accumulated meanings.

By the 18th century the tarot was used for divination or for oracular purposes, much like the Delphic oracles of old.

Nowadays the trumps, or major arcana, are believed to chronicle, symbolically, the journey of the Fool through life. How to be a Tarot Card (or a Teenager) explores, exploits, and sometimes downright twists the major arcana and the meanings they have accumulated, in the order in which the many hundreds of tarot decks now travelling the world present them.

The Star, connoting hope, exists simultaneously as metaphor and feral dog; the rebirth nestled inside the Death card becomes female friendship and escape from patriarchal binds.
