Brooklyn singer/songwriter Victoria Reed says a Tarot reading — and, specifically, a message from the Chariot trump — established a new direction in her life, prompting her to go into the music business:
I pulled these cards. In the future position, there was the Chariot card. That card is always about triumph and balancing opposing sources. Almost like a well-earned victory. Not necessarily an easy one, but hard fought victory and stability. It was a very big symbol of hope for me.
Meantime, Victoria’s latest album — also Tarot inspired — includes this dreamy track (All My Power):
If The Creative Tarot had been less of a card dictionary and more a library of stories like this one, I’d have liked it better.
