It showed me very gently how much I missed Christianity.”įor people like Muller, the Christian faith and tarot are compatible. Pulling a daily tarot card, says Muller, “became a nice ritual that replaced what that I got from religion.” She even credits her tarot card use for her family’s recent return to Catholicism six months ago: “I was coming into contact with Christian ideas through a medium that isn’t considered Christian. The Washington Post, in December, interviewed Muller, a practicing Catholic who as part of her daily prayer routine not only consults Holy Scripture but also the Rider-Waite deck, which is one of the most popular tarot decks in America. For Muller, Tarot is “its own kind of prayer.” But not Catholic author Brittany Muller, whose book The Contemplative Tarot is scheduled to be released later this year.
