Because it’s that time of the year….
What are you doing October 17, 2008? Here’s what I’ll be doing:
IT’S IN THE CARDS:
TAROT FOR OBAMA
fundraising event
Friday, October 17, 6-9 pm
Pundits and spinmeisters like to predict the future. So do tarot readers! In time for the Halloween season, come have your cards read and help make Obama’s presidency a self-fulfilling prophecy.
Several professional tarot readers have donated their services for this fun fundraiser set in Victorian Brooklyn’s premier art gallery, Kris Waldherr Art and Words. $20 fundraiser donation includes unlimited readings and a wine and cheese reception. There will be a silent auction of donated gift and illustrated book packages. 15% of all gallery art sales during this event will be donated to Obama’s campaign.
Tarot readers include: Kris Waldherr (creator of The Goddess Tarot and Lover’s Path Tarot); Diane Saarinen (Wavelength Tarot), Karen Williams (who will read using the Herbal Tarot and Egyptian Tarot), and Elizabeth Genco (the Marketing Goddess).
Space is limited for this event. To reserve your place, please rsvp here or e-mail kris at kriswaldherr dot com.

Doomed Queens site — the next phase
The next phase of the Doomed Queens site at DoomedQueens.com is underway. That written, much of the content is still in development or not operating correctly. For example, I still need to import the navigation bar, upload the book excerpt — fun stuff.
Nonetheless, if you want to take a peek, click here. I think the design is definitely moving in the right direction!
Are you a Doomed Queen?
As part of the content for the expanded Doomed Queens pages, I’ve created a quiz on Facebook. Take it here. (You’ll need to be signed into Facebook to take the quiz.)
BTW, the new Doomed Queens pages will be going up by the end of the month. In the meantime, I hope you’re enjoying the teaser site.
Crowns all around
My friend (and Catherine of Aragon model) Diane Saarinen recently wrote a nice post on her tarot blog about her experience modeling for Doomed Queens. Diane is a fellow Brooklynite as well as a woman of many talents: tarot reader, editor, writer, photographer, and more.
Diane’s post touches on the symbolism of the crown — interesting, since I used a winged crown quite a bit in my Lover’s Path Tarot. She also reveals the reference photo which inspired her queen portrait. You can see the rather ragtag headdress I constructed for her from cardboard and foam core. It’s an interesting bit of before-and-after.
So go take a peek!
