Follow the path of the tarot into this mythic and mystic exploration of Pittsburgh, America's most gothic city. Eschewing easy stereotypes (twirling Terrible Towels, Primanti's fry sandwiches, smog), this beautifully written accompaniment to The Pittsburgh Tarot explores both the triumph and the darkness of Steel City in the Gilded Age, infusing each tarot archetype with the city's potent primeval energy. The Major Arcana features significant historical figures, while the Minor Arcana is divided into suits of Neighborhoods for earth, Rivers for water, Nature for air, and Industry for fire--"because," author Ed Simon writes, "in Pittsburgh, spiritualism and materialism can't help but be united." A deep and enchanting plunge into Pittsburgh's unique occult character, fit for students of tarot as well as the 'Burgh's residents and pilgrims alike.
