Famous Faces in the Tarot

Do you have any famous faces in your Tarot decks?

That is, have you come across a figure in a a card and gasped, "Oh my goodness! That looks just like _____!" Well, I've had a few and I thought I'd share them with you: 

John Travolta in the 9 of Cups especially circa Vinnie Barbarino (from the Universal Waite Tarot)

 

Madonna (especially in Evita) in The Emperor (from the Vanessa Tarot)

 

Ken Wilber (deep thinker extraordinaire) in the Five of Coins (from the Phantasmagoric Theater Tarot)

 

George W. Bush in The Fool (from the Gilded Tarot)

 

Alan Cumming in The Fool (from The Sorcerers Tarot)

 

Lara Flynn Boyle (of Twin Peaks fame) in The Fool (from the Vanessa Tarot)

What famous people do you see in the Tarot?

Janet Boyer on the Maria Shaw Show 6/10/09

Marie Shaw and Joe Lawson interviewed me on the Maria Shaw Show earlier today. I did Tarot readings for both Maria and Joe, as well as several callers. We also talked about my book, Back in Time Tarot!

You can listen to the interview at Empower Radio. Look for the June 10th show on the On-Demand Audio drop down menu. (Click here for the link) I'm on about halfway through.

What a blast we had!
