HAPPY YEAR of THE RABBIT

Years ago, I wove this Dragon's Nest together out of my collection of mythic twigs and string. It is my refuge where flights of fancy turn real and creatures of whimsy and insatiable curiosity lurk around every corner. Where Dragon Enchantments buzz non-believers and Passions of Unicorns make sweet music.

Despite the passing years, the enduring heart of Dragon's Nest remains:
A celebration of the wildness in which, as Thoreau said, lies the "preservation of the World."

Of course, change is the Dragon way.
Through the seasons skills have been honed; books and stories have been published. Change.
And now a new chapter opens.
Welcome to Tarot of Dragons.

For more than half a century I have roamed the wilds of Dragon Country. I have cavorted with Dragons scaled and feathered, large and small, from East and West. For the past forty-plus years I have been working with the Tarot. In that time, I’d often looked for a Dragon tarot only to be disappointed. The decks out there were, to my mind, pale and too human-centric, with the Dragons often little more than decorative arm-candy.

When Llewellyn approached me about combining these two loves, I was thrilled. And a little trepidatious. After all, I’m a writer, not an artist. Fortunately, I was blessed to work with a wonderful artist, Firat Solhan. Firat was able to take my descriptions and (very) rough sketches and turn them into exquisite cards.

Just as I’d imagined them.

Come play!
