I’l be honest; I’m not quite sure if Matt Stansberry‘s and David Wilson‘s Rust Belt Arcana; Tarot and Natural History in the Exurban Wilds is a book about natural history explained through tarot, a book about tarot explained through natural history, both of these, neither of them, or something else entirely. Perhaps that’s what makes it so intriguing.

From the passages I’ve skimmed thus far, I can say that it is certainly a book unlike any other I’ve yet encountered, and that I’m eager to give it a full reading at the first opportunity.
