Dr. James Wanless

How did a professor with a PhD in political science from Columbia University become an expert in the Tarot?

A worldwide journey to Egypt, Beirut and Kathmandu, then back to America, led James Wanless, creator of the magical Voyager Tarot: Way of the Great Oracle and the accompanying Voyager Tarot card set, to a new calling.
