We are two artists, Carol Herzer and Dirk Gillabel, who delight in making you tools to discover and develop your unique personality. We make special tarot decks for readers and collectors, and one-of-a-kind vests and jackets. We offer a painting gallery of our work, astrological chart paintings, esoteric and spiritual articles, and more.
Carol Herzer is an artist and psychic guide, her path in life has manifested through combining her art with helping others. The seeds for this work were planted in 1969 when she began work on her own tarot deck and became interested in astrology. In 1980 she did her first readings with astrology, adding her own tarot deck, the Cosmo Astrotaro, four years later. Carol's tarot decks have been shown and mentioned in a number of tarot books; she has been making and selling decks since 1985.
Carol received a Bachelor of Fine Arts degree in painting in 1969. Her paintings on canvas have been shown in galleries, with numerous shows in Seattle in the 1960's, and later in New York. Associated with the visionary art movement, she studied painting with Ernst Fuchs in Austria in 1972. Carol is and always has been a nature lover. Many of her paintings are landscapes, combining the inner and outer worlds.
Dirk Gillabel has an extensive background in esoteric subjects. This knowledge enabled him to write many articles and brochures, most of which were published in limited editions. In an effort to crystallize his knowledge, he created a series of tarot decks, in limited editions. Most of them were executed as black and white drawings, two of these have been painted in full color by Carol Herzer. In House of the Sun, a section of Soul Guidance, Dirk has written many articles about esoteric and spiritual subjects.
