About the author
Jessica Dore is the author of Tarot for Change: Using the Cards for Self-Care, Acceptance, and Growth, published by Penguin Life and reviewed by the New York Times as generous, practical, and gently radical. The book reframes tarot away from divination and fortune-telling and toward a therapeutic tool, pairing each card with ideas drawn from psychology and behavioral science to support self-care and personal growth. The Change Tarot (Hay House LLC, 2024) adapts that same book into a full seventy-eight-card deck and guidebook, giving each card a therapeutically oriented interpretation alongside newly commissioned artwork that reimagines traditional tarot imagery. Astrologer Chani Nicholas called the original book an instant classic and a manifesto for insightful living. Dore's work is aimed at readers who want tarot's structure and imagery without its predictive claims, used instead as a prompt for reflection.
