I thought the nostalgic trend of looking back at life as it used to be was limited only to the art of the era, and in particular, pin-up style. Now for something that smacks of the 1950s (at least I think that is when it is) and its icon, the Housewife, is a fantabulous, fun site that offers, of all things, Tarot readings! 

I love that it instructs you to relax before dealing your cards, and fix yourself a martini if you have to (as books and television of the times often encouraged!) Offering past, present and future readings with contemporary renderings and art work of the era, reading your cards was never so much fun! And, if you don’t like what you see, it suggests having another martini! 

Also included are secret recipes, such as divinated eggs, prophecy punch ( “one swig of this sacred sangria and you’ll be seeing visions in no time!”), and magic meatloaf, (mystery meat).

If you can’t get enough of the era, upload their desktop goodies to your computer. Worth checking out!

Tarot card reading has already been done to death in the English language media. In a culture in which the Tarot is commonly presented only as a divinatory art, to actually play a card game with Tarot cards is surely a superior act of non-conformity. That so-called "Origins of Tarot" video from YouTube is so loaded with myths and pseudo-history that its own creator has admitted that it is not to be taken literally. In fact, according to playing card historians such as John Mcleod of pagat.com and David Parlett, the original purpose of Tarot cards is to play a trick taking card game similar to Bridge or Spades. It is also true that many people especially in continental Europe play card games with a Tarot deck. In France, the Tarot game is so well established, there is an official federation which governs Tarot tournaments. What's most pertinent for countries such as the US is that there are small groups of people forming Tarot game playing clubs here in the US and in other countries. There are also a few online specialty stores based in such states Ohio and Indiana selling specially made Tarot cards for game playing. The growing interest in Tarot game playing amongst non-Europeans is indeed a trend worthy of mention on this website.
