Five good books for learning to read esoteric (versus intuitive) Tarot.

1. Robert Wang - The Qabalistic Tarot
       Qabala underpins the Smith Waite deck, which means it underpins the majority of all Tarot decks created since.
   
2. Lon Milo DuQuette - Understanding Aleister Crowley’s Thoth Tarot
       Crowley's reskinned Christianity is another major influence on modern Tarot, and this book has the best summation of it.
   
3. Anthony Louis - Tarot Beyond the Basics
       Discusses Golden Dawn astrology (second only to Qabala as an underpinning of modern interpretations) alongside newer systems like Meyers Briggs.
   
4. Robert Place - The Tarot: History, Symbolism, and Divination
       Place is the go-to author for systems like Neo-Platonism and Alchemy that influenced the development of pre-modern Tarot.
   
5. Cynthia Giles - The Tarot: History, Mystery, and Lore
       This book is an excellent source for the development of Tarot from its creation to the title's publish date of 1992.
   

Four great tracks to listen to on a fast run.

1. Luna Aura - Money Bag
   
2. Crows - Bored
   
3. Stiffed - Like an Itch
   
4. Giungla - Cold (Rework)

Three topics I am great for nerding out about with.

1. Irish traditional music
   
2. Calligraphy pens, fountain pens, and inks
   
3. Language learning (particularly endangered, minority, or revived languages)
   

Two excellent recent Lae'zel meme shops.

One self-explanatory entry.

   Actually, not a rec. Not a rec at all.
