More About the Author

New York Times, USA Today, and Publishers Weekly bestselling author Yasmine Galenorn writes two bestselling urban fantasy series: the Otherworld Series (Sisters of the Moon Series), and the Indigo Court Series, both for Berkley. She's also written a paranormal mystery series (the Chintz 'n China Series) for Berkley Prime Crime, a short-lived mystery series (the Bath & Body Series) under the name of India Ink, again for Berkley Prime Crime, and eight metaphysical nonfiction books (Llewellyn Publications and Crossing Press).

Yasmine is a shamanic witch, and walks an eclectic path. She considers her life a blend of teacups and tattoos--the former in her china closet, the latter on her skin. She's a theatre major, a graduate of the Evergreen State College (Olympia WA). She lives in the Seattle WA area with her husband and is the mother of four cats.

Because so many people ask, you pronounce her name this way: Yaz-mihn (NOT Jasmine--it's a "Y", not a "J"). Last name is pronounced: Gal-eh-norn The accent is on the first syllable.

5.0 out of 5 stars Book Review by Echoed Voices, October 2, 2001

By 

M.L. Benton Publisher, Echoed Voices Magazine (USA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Tarot Journeys: Adventures in Self-Transformation (Paperback)

Author Yasmine Galenorn has done it once again with her latest book, Tarot Journeys. For anyone who ever asked themselves, "Who am I?", "Where have I been?", "Where am I going?", this is a "must read".

Tarot Journeys uses the higher forces of the Major Arcana to answer these questions. Starting with "The Fool", which represents new beginnings, the meditations prepare and strengthen you. As you continue on your journey, you discover new insight, you face and battle your own demons, you gain knowledge, and self worth; all while flowing through beautiful fables of the imagination. When you reach the end of your journey with "The World", you will have come to realize the one truth: YOURSELF.

Tarot has always been a wonderful divination tool; Ms Galenorn raises it to a whole new level. With the 22 meditations and suggested exercises, and the beautiful meditation CD that accompanies it, Tarot Journeys is the definitive book of self-discovery. This is a book to enjoy over and over again. With every new reading, your questions will be answered, your knowledge increased and your insight broadened. Most importantly, you will begin to discover your true worth, your true self.

5.0 out of 5 stars Galenorn does it again!, December 3, 2000

This review is from: Tarot Journeys: Adventures in Self-Transformation (Paperback)

Taort Journey's represents, in my opinion, a watershed in the creative talents of Miss Galenorn. The meditations in this book are deeply evocative, channeling the ture essence of every card. The author does not merely stop at one deck. She uses several to glean the material for the meditations. In the HIgh Priestess we see shades of Crowley. The Empress draws upon more Pagan decks. The meditations build on eachother, so that they really exist as an entire Quest. Tarot Journeys includes a CD with two of the meditations recorded by a professional voice actor. These are wonderful, and one only wishes the entire book had been treated thus. For anyone seeking to know the Tarot, this book is delightful. Even if you couldn't care less about cartomancy, the Fool's Journey will evoke the Deepr nature within you.

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent!, January 7, 2000

By A Customer

This review is from: Tarot Journeys: Adventures in Self-Transformation (Paperback)

What an excellent book! The meditation like descriptions of the major arcana are fantastic. Its like having someone personally guide you through the inside of each card, emotionally and physically. The c.d that comes with this book is STELLAR as it is a guided visualization/meditation that also guides you and walks you through a personal tarot awareness journey/path with each card. The c.d alone in my opinion, is worth the book price. A "must have" for your tarot library. Wonderful book/cd!
