	Review of Rachel Pollack's 78 Degrees of Wisdom
		Rachel Pollack is an interesting writer who has many titles under her belt.
		One example of these differences is Pollack's view that most people never move past the Chariot in their endeavor for individuality.
		Simply the fact that Pollack does gives an unique perspective to the reader that allows for one to wonder if perhaps the Archetypes could be wrapped up in the first 8 cards, leaving the rest of the Major Arcana as major life events that play upon the other 8 cards.

	The Forest of Souls by Rachel Pollack - R A I N T A X I o n l i n e
		Rachel Pollack's The Forest of Souls is a metaphysical study detailing a new way of looking at Tarot cards and their use.
		Although Pollack appreciates and explains the history and method behind these decks, she's careful to point out that many of the historical decks have traditional, sometimes rigid rules laid down for their use.
		Pollack also suggests alternative "spreads" (the order in which the cards are displayed and read) that use a multi-directional relationship with the cards around them rather than the standard over/under/crossed traditional methods.

		Rachel has also done seminars for several years in California in conjunction with Mary K.

	Forest
		In the ensuing chapters, like the reverently irreverent Tracy Ullman, Pollack takes on such subjects as the Tarot's origins, wisdom questions (as opposed to asking, "Will X marry me," she asks, "What is marriage?"), Jewish and Kabbalistic thoughts as they pertain to the Tarot, and formulating new versions of the Fool's Journey.
		Pollack uses her deck to illustrate so many of her readings that you'll want to have it nearby in order to follow along.
		The title of that book, so similar to Rachel's, brought that memory back to me. The synchronicity of the subject matter seems to align with the magic of the Tarot, another inviting and complex forest for which we are blessed to have a guide like Rachel Pollack.

	Burning Sky by Rachel Pollack - R A I N T A X I o n l i n e
		Rachel Pollack is critically acclaimed for her science fiction novels--she has won the Arthur C. Clarke Award and the World Fantasy Award, and has been nominated for a Nebula--and she is equally renowned for her expert commentary on the Tarot.
		This unified aspect of the book is enhanced by a peculiar strategy: Pollack has written brief afterwords to each story, often locating its genesis, sometimes discussing its themes, but always engaging the reader in the process of constructing the fiction.
		This intrusion of authorial explanation, as noted writer Samuel R. Delany says in the introduction, by all rights shouldn't work, but I am forced to admit (as is Delany) that it simply does here--Pollack, rather than intruding, merely opens the door to her study with these marvelous anecdotes.

	Spiral Nature - Reviews - Book Reviews - Rachel Pollack
		Pollack opens with a description of the various histories and mythological guesses at the origins of the Tarot, combining it with its known history, and personal experience.
		Pollack relies heavily on the Shining Tribe Tarot she created, obviously as that symbolism resonates best with her understanding.
		With the minor arcana, Pollack focuses on the Rider-Waite-Smith deck, as it was among the first to use pictures of people in the cards in addition to the weapons.

	Unquenchable Fire, by Rachel Pollack
		Pollack's answer to the question of what would you do if the Redeemer suddenly returned is a shrug of contempt.
		Pollack's picture of a people who have to be dragged, kicking and screaming, into a new way of reality rings too true.
		Pollack is a powerful storyteller, with a gift for the mythic and a strong grounding in the fundamentals.

	The Gods of the Funny Books, by Erik Davis
		Somebody said "you're Rachel Pollack," and the next thing I know she's signing things, people are lining up to say how much she means to them and I'm wandering around feeling like you've gone to chat with a street musician and he plays you something and you realize it's Elvis Costello.
		POLLACK: It's funny, with the tarot, the people who are into the high esoteric, intellectualized occultism have all been men, and the people who've been reading have all been women.
		POLLACK: An amazing thing about Blake is that while he'd tell people that his work was dictated to him by angels, he was a conscious artist working an reworking his material.

		In her new work, Rachel Pollack takes readers deeper into the Tarot than many would have thought possible.
		She says that "the Tarot works best as an instrument of our wisdom when we dare to ask it outrageous questions..." and she does, indeed, ask questions and explore concepts that are both complex and challenging.

		This is suburban fantasy, reminiscent of Philip K. Dick's suburban SF, and the protagonist is a nice suburban middle-class person who, in a recognizable America informed with rational, non-Christian divine powers, copes with supernatural imposition on her life.
		Pollack's Arthur C. Clarke Award-winning feminist fantasy is set mainly in New York's Hudson Valley.
		Here, Rachel Pollack has created a Messiah story that focuses on the mother of the Messiah, and how she doesn't want to be "chosen", how she'd prefer to be left alone and be obscure, the same way everyone else in her world is - dry, homogenized, merely going through the motions of life.

		by William S. Pollack, PH.D. Clinical psychologist William Pollack believes that, due to harmful myths regarding manhood in American society, boys are dangerously shortchanged when it comes to learning about the healthy expression of emotions and feelings.
		Written with disarming humor and an engaging voice, this is a thoroughly charming tale of a man who throws it all away to fulfill a boyhood dream of building a boat made of wine corks.
		Here Pollack analyzes the strategic, political, and military forces at work in both countries--on the ground in Iraq and behind closed doors in Washington.

		Rachel Pollack grew up Orthodox, but she left for a life of Tarot study and ended up with Kabbalah.
		Her reaction to non-Jewish Kabbalah, Pollack recalls, was actually one of annoyance.
		Instead, Pollack wishes we could find a way to go beyond that narrow definition of religion, because "the core essence of religion [has] always been some variation of the golden rule." Her book, The Kabbalah Tree, could play at least a small role in that, assuming we're willing to pick it up.

	Beek's Books - Time Breakers (comicbook reviews)
		I'm a little hestitant to describe Pollack's dialog as "realistic", because the characters tend to do a lot of exposition with each other, explaining the nature of paradoxes and fitting the pieces of the puzzle together for the readers.
		Pollack uses one of my favourite paradoxes to explain the invention of time travel: a time traveller from the future gave the necessary information to the inventor.
		Writing an internally consistent time-travel story is probably almost as impossible as becoming your own grandmother, but Pollack has done a pretty good job.
