Coming Out of the Tarot Closet With Mark Horn

June 18, 2020

Meet Mark Horn

Mark and I went discussed a very personal journey that he shares with such openness and honesty. I’m grateful to share it with you. I hope you not only enjoy it but that you find yourself ready to start your own personal spiritual journey with a little help from Mark.

BTW, one of my favorite parts of talking with Mark is that he has such joy in finding answers. To every question. It’s like a mini adventure each time. 

More About Mark

The author of “Tarot and the Gates of Light: A Kabbalistic Path to Liberation,” Mark Horn was born and raised in Brooklyn, New York. He started studying and reading tarot in 1968, when he was sixteen years old.

In 1970, he became an activist in the post-Stonewall LGBT movement as a member of the Gay Liberation Front, the Gay Activist Alliance and as the second chairperson of Gay & Lesbian Youth of New York. He is the editor/writer of the Stonewall Seder liturgy, a ritual dinner celebrating Jewish Queer Pride, which has been used and adapted by congregations around the United States, as well as in Europe and Australia.

A performing storyteller, Mark has taught traditional Jewish storytelling in the Prozdor program of the Jewish Theological Seminary for more than ten years. As a journalist, he has written feature stories for The Washington Post, the Los Angeles Times and Metrosource magazine.

Mark has studied Kabbalah with academic, religious and practical teachers of Kabbalah in organizations ranging from the highly respected to the highly unorthodox, including Professor Elliot R. Wolfson at NYU, Rabbi Zalman Schachter-Shalomi z’’l, at Elat Chayyim and with Jason Shulman in the Non-dual Kabbalistic Healing program of A Society of Souls.

He has studied tarot with many of today’s leading teachers, including Rachel Pollack, Mary K. Greer, Robert Place, Ruth and Wald Amberstone and Ferol Humphrey. He has led classes and workshops in Kabbalistic tarot at conferences and workshops in New York City.

He lives on the Upper West Side in New York City where he is available for private instruction and consultation and can be contacted through his website, www.GatesOfLightTarot.com
