Tarot & Music - Ruth White

The tarot, the occult, and the arts intersect across many time periods. Here is a really interesting piece entitled “ 7 Trumps From the Tarot Cards” by Ruth White.

Ruth White was an American composer (1925 -2013) based in California.  She studied piano, harp and other instruments and was a pioneer in the electronic music idiom.
