She Taught Me To Read Tarot Cards
And I still do, decades later
Grief. Friendship. Jazz hands. My debut memoir, ‘Theatre Kids’, comes out June 18th. You can preorder now on Amazon, Bookshop, or Barnes & Noble
She taught me to read tarot cards long before they were cool. I’m not one of those annoying know-it-alls who can’t wait to explain how they liked this band or that fashion before it was cool. I once worked with a guy who stood behind me and said, apropos of nothing, “I liked Sriracha before everyone else,” as I squirted the hot sauce on my reheated leftovers in the kitchen.
I want to point out too — for posterity — that he also used to wear his long, greasy hair in a bun around the office. He was a lawyer. In-house. So, let me be clear: I am not this type of person. I’m not fashionable, ahead of the curve, and even if I was, I wouldn’t be annoying about it. But I feel like I have a right to be a little smug about this one thing I was truly into before it became popular.
And tarot cards are popular. They are, in fact, a full-blown wellness trend. There are millions of posts about tarot cards on Instagram, and if you’re interested, popular lifestyle sites are eager to sell $60 decks. But don’t buy a $60 deck.
