Rachel Pollack - Reading at the Spring 2008 Residency
She has published thirteen books on Tarot, including 78 Degrees of Wisdom, considered a modern classic and “the Bible of Tarot reading.” She also has written on other non-fiction subjects, including The Body of the Goddess, which traces the origin and development of religion in the human body and nature. Her Shining Tribe Tarot, designed and drawn by Rachel herself, draws on tribal and prehistoric images from six continents and 50,000 years. She has had several shows of her artwork, both Tarot and other images. Her books have been published in fifteen languages. She has taught classes and workshops in Europe, North America, and Australia. Rachel’s most recent book, Seeker, won the COVR Award for best book on divination at the 2006 International New Age Trade Show. Rachel is currently on the faculty of Goddard College’s MFA in Creative Writing Program.
