Rachel Pollack, Tarot author of 78 Degrees of Wisdom, writes of this deck:
'The Pholarchos Tarot is one of the most exciting, and profound, new decks I have seen in years. The art varies in style, with certain strands running through distinct parts of the deck, but is always evocative, even thrilling as it draws us deeper into its mysteries, The book, too, while small, invites us into the "imaginal" wonders of the cards, and yet can give clear directions when we apply them to a person's life. I used this deck to create a kind of magic healing talisman for a friend facing a medical crisis, and the three cards I pulled spoke directly to the idea of rootedness and alchemical healing. I look forward to exploring this stunning deck over months and years to come.'
