Francis Ian
Francis Ian is a tarot reader, a “nearly” retired Computer Analyst and a father from Los Angeles, CA. After 20 years working with technology writing computer manuals, publishing magazine articles and testing software, he finally listened to the cards and is now dedicating his silver years to tarot. As a long-time reader of Tarot Reflections, Francis joined the American Tarot Association with the desire to contribute back and participate in the tarot discussion.
Primarily self-taught in tarot, Francis’s key sources over the years have included books by Inna Semetsky, Oswald Wirth, Ronald Decker, Stuart R. Kaplan, Mary K. Greer, Rachel Pollack, Robert M. Place, Paul Foster Case, Jean-Paul Flornoy, Jean-Michel David, Enrique Enriquez, Camelia Elias and Ruth Ann and Wald Amberstone. He regularly uses some fifty tarot decks that span in style and tone from Visconti and Marseille to Rider-Waite-Smith and Crowley-Harris. Some of his favorite tarot decks are independently published.

Lorraine Kemble
Lorraine Kemble is a Jewish woman born and living in London, UK and is a Healer, Master Reiki Practitioner and Counsellor. She strives to continue to build up understanding and awareness of healing from her own personal experience. She also maintain a great deal of respect for and learning from the wisdom of ancient philosophers and perception of the Tarot.
Her disability stems from a large brain tumour on the fourth ventricle of the brain which was removed 30 years ago leaving her bed bound and unable to talk. She consequently suffers from several neurological conditions, the most severe of which being enteric neuropathy. Following extensive rehabilitation and plain hard work, she is now mobile and able to talk, yet the experience has been both a major crisis in her life and also one of her greatest learning experiences. She wants to use that strength and carry it forward to help other people as much as she can.
Writing Rachel’s Esoteric Journey has been personally enlightening as it has given her the opportunity to interweave the immense teaching, symbolism and the many pearls from the Tarot with an individual’s journey through life.
