TAROT BY SAGEŠ is a divination and empowerment system for feminists and lesbians, leading women on a journey through a 28-card deck with text captions that reveal each meaning ♥ ♠ ♣ ♦
 
TAROT BY SAGEŠ consists of 28 cards, one for each of the 28 ribs of the buffalo, and also a sacred number analogous to the 28-day lunar calendar which marks the menstrual cycle, a very dynamic time of the month for women's emotions to surge, a time when she is closest to her spiritual world.
 
Sage's illustrations fluently take women on a spiritual journey of myths, legends, and psychologies unique and applicable to lesbians.
 
The name of each of the cards that she has chosen are suggestive of Southwestern desert themes. Native American, and other cultures.
 
Through the shades of the soft pastels, Sage's designs are intended for women of all races, feminists, and lesbians to examine their lives.  TAROT BY SAGEŠ is the tarot that brings women together over coffee-table conversation.
 
The cards are meant to stimulate the imagination and will have different meanings to different women, each who will interpret them through metaphor for her personal improvement, spiritual healing, and sexuality.  The inner meanings of the cards provide insight through six categories; MEDITATION, BEWARE, HIDDEN STRENGTH, HIDDEN WEAKNESS, SLANT, and POWER.
 
TAROT BY SAGEŠ is illustrated by Sage Sweetwater from her novel BLUE CORN WOMAN which Sage released in December 2007 on her publishing list of lesbian Western pulp fiction dime-store novels. The cards are in order on these pages as the scenes appear in the novel, so when you are viewing these tarot cards, you are also seeing the plot lines of BLUE CORN WOMAN.

SUPERSTITIONS
 
MEDITATION: Coming to terms with the unknown; mirages, muses, avatars, and phantom brides.

HIDDEN WEAKNESS: Avoiding and warding off certain things not understood.  Don't allow superstition to influence thinking and actions.  Check into a hotel on Friday the 13th, and request Room 13.  Sometimes Room 13 is missing, or is discreetly numbered 12A.
 
SLANT: This card is a museum of old superstitions, and on the other side of slant, has a strong hold on the belief of personal magick.
 
POWER: Superstition Mountains in Arizona where superstition reaches its peak.

POWER: Aromatherapy.  Releasing pheromones through sweat glands.

THE DEVIL'S ROPE
 
MEDITATION: Crossing boundaries by free will, letting conscience be your guide.

HIDDEN STRENGTH: Playing guitar, writing poetry, and sweeping sand floors, unconcerned with modern settlement.
 
HIDDEN WEAKNESS: Fenced by the Devil's rope (barbed wire).  Hesitant to break down the boundaries to merge so that some other force may take place.  Relinquish the sense of the self.
 
SLANT: This card is especially appealing to cowgirls.  Temptation rides!
 
POWER: The game of dominoes and a good, old-fashioned roll in the hay.
