“The tarot fascinated Mairead from the moment Gretchen brought her into her bedroom during a family party. In the bustling kitchen, she pushed Mairead's hair away from her ear and whispered Come see what I've got, then guided her down the hallway leading to the bedrooms. When the door was shut, Mairead saw the colorful cards, larger than playing cards, spread out on Gretchen's tie-dyed bedspread. If there is such a thing as love at first sight with an object, that's what Mairead experienced when she saw the cards. Each depicted colorful images decorated with mysterious symbols. All were equally attractive in her eyes and she immediately wanted to learn what every one of them represented. Tarot to Mairead was like an alternate universe she wanted to inhabit.” — Colleen McManus Hein
