Sobriety Through the Major Arcana
Immediately, I want to make it count for something. I use meditation and tarot as an anchor, with immediate reflection. *And now, how do you feel? And now, what is arising?*
Sobriety becomes an incantation, a summoning spell. I gather bird feathers and selenite. I keep my pocketknife close.
Part diary, part cartography of the road they’re still walking, Christy Tending’s Sobriety Through the Major Arcana brings generosity and grace to the early days of their effort to forge a new path. There is hope in these words and there is also tension. As Kaveh Akbar tells us in Martyr, “Getting sober means having to figure out how to spend twenty-four hours a day,” and Tending does fill them. The results of those long hours of thought and reflection, with the tarot to guide them, are gathered here.
Digital download includes a scrollable page by page rendering of the print version and a booklet file formatted to print into a fold and print version perfect for sharing (no shame or blame, our goal is more books out in the world) or tucking away in a bag, pile, or pocket, until it’s just the right time.
