It is strange to me the Tarot shows up in so many writers I love. Because I have zero experience of Tarot. I've never seen a deck in person, never had my fortune read. But, McCarthy, Dylan, Malick... who else? I'm sure there are more.
So, from my great ignorance, thank you for shining light on a particularly dim (to me) segment of the story.
Thank you Aaron for this fascinating episode. I bought Sepich's Notes on Blood Meridian on Amazon Kindle ($2.99). Wow. This is great. Gotta go. I have to reread Chapter VII now.

I relied heavily on John Sepich's chapter on Tarot and Divination from his excellent NOTES ON BLOOD MERIDIAN. A crucial resource for Cormackians!
