In 2006 Ella Jo made a trip to Greece to read Tarot on the beaches. She relates how the trip became a journey as the summer unfolded. Based on her journals, she gives a true account of her experiences and her inner world, told at a driving pace.
From a Bohemian beach life in Santorini, she decided to go further than she had planned,
keeping a diary from the perspective of a Tarot Reader. Influenced by her desire to find the origins of the Tarot she visited Turkey to look for evidence. Her journal gives an insight into the character of modern Turkey whilst framing questions about the emergence of Tarot in the West.
Ella Jo previously researched Tarot in India in 2005, finding clues for the original structure of the Tarot cards; this 2006 journal charts her search in the Middle East.
Returning to her home in the UK through Bulgaria, Hungary and the Czech Republic,she relates her encounters with people and places on the way, giving some understanding of the foundations of these cultures.
The clues collected in Ella Jo's travels are researched on the author's return, in the second part of the book called 'Supporting Notes'. There is deeper study of the possible influence of the Mother Goddess Religion on the concept of Tarot, seeking linguistic and historical material to provide insights. The book also investigates the mystery of Tarot’s appearance in Europe,providing glimpses of evidence from surviving historical
data.
So, all in all, Journey of A Tarot Reader is a biographical travel story, with tarot overtones, which can enhance an understanding of Tarot in today's world.
