Bright lights, big dreams: these cosmic energies are all to be found within the cards in NYC Tarot. An inspired take on classics like the Rider Waite Smith deck, this 78-card deck embodies archetypal cards like Temperance, The Hierophant, and Strength, with symbols like the Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade, the New York Public Library’s lion statues, and the iconic bodega cat. Pull a Page of Swords? That’s a classic street-cart hot dog. Queen of Wands? Belly up to the bar at the Rainbow Room. For every fan of the greatest city on Earth who would like to celebrate its sights and sounds while gaining a unique window into themselves and the world around them, NYC Tarot is a perfect keepsake gift that also provides world-class readings and fascinating insights.   

The stories in this book brings alive the experiences that I, Clara Kirkpatrick Lau, and my sibling brothers and sisters, mother and father had living during those difficult pioneer days from 1885 to 1890 when we left our farm in Lenora, Kansas. We headed northwest by covered wagon to join up with the Oregon Trail wagon train. Our journey was soon interrupted by unexpected circumstances to live on the plains of Nebraska before finally continuing onto Oregon by train in 1890.
