May all who’ve known and loved her find peace.

Her 78 Degrees of Wisdom has been my go-to read for all the quiet moments at my first Burning Man-inspired festival. (Which I’m currently ensconced in.) It’s been incredible learning such deep truths from her each day before fusing that wisdom into myself in the night.

I’ll hang her name on a message tag in the Temple tonight, before we light it on fire. May her spirit rise with a thousand wishes.

I’ve been a professional Taror reader and teacher for 15 years. I never read 78 degrees until now. I don’t agree with everything she says, but I don’t think that was the point of the book. I think the point was to not get stuck in the ‘right’ way to do Tarot.

I love how her mind worked. She came at Tarot from so many perspectives and I’d encourage every aspiring reader to pick up 78 degrees. It encourages you to open your mind and come to your own conclusions.
