Harlequin Romance Covers Major Arcana
The topic for the fall equinox blog hop is “Harlequin Romance Tarot” or, for those in the UK, “Mills & Boon Tarot.” Jay Cassels of Sacred Healing and I co-wrangled this hop. My contribution to the world of tarot is a set of Major Arcana cards compiled from vintage Harlequin Romance novel covers. Don’t knock it till you try it! The Harlequin Presents Tarot is perfect for all your questions about desire and passion.

Question: “How can we use the Harlequin Presents Tarot?”
Answer: Hermit/The Light Within, Star/A Star Looks Down, and Chariot/His Chariot Awaits
The Harlequin Presents Tarot reminds us in this simple spread that tarot readings are a combination of the light within, the Hermit, and the light above, in this case the star that looks down. When we are willing to follow our own guidance and willingness to forge our own trail, heading to the snow topped peaks, the reciprocal light shines down, and we connect with our guides. Although at first the way looks difficult and rocky, this blend of inner and outer guidance results in the smooth ride and high performance of the glowing white chariot, and we arrive at our destination in style.

This really takes me back, browsing the aisles of the book store, trying to decide and remember which of them I hadn’t read yet. Misspent youth reading Mills and Boon, it is tempting to buy or go charity shopping to find one.
I don’t know why, but it’s fun to think of you browsing for romance books. I tried them out, but never got into them that much. If anything, doing this hop has kindled an interest.
Love this Joy! Makes me wonder if you’ve uncovered a private joke made by a tarot reading publisher? 🙂
That would be cool!

Oh, what memories you two bring back to me! With Jay, I might have to browse the charity shops looking for some old M&B to brighten my day! Hope you enjoy my little teaser 😉
Haha. Spending all that time looking at covers did make me want to read some!
I love the connection you made between the covers and the majors! Super creative.
Thank you, Lore! Some were a challenge, but I think they turned out the most creative. But you know what was weird — one of the hardest ones was The Lovers!!!
This needs to go up on your YouTube channel, pronto! Wow, wow, wow! I have a great idea for a romantic suspense now…
Thanks, Trish! It was fun, and I’m glad others are having fun with it too!
