Mark Horn may be the only person who has taught at both the Jewish Theological Seminary and the Readers’ Studio International Tarot Conference. He is the author of Tarot and the Gates of Light: A Kabbalistic Path to Liberation, an innovative, spiritual workbook that has won praise from two groups that don’t usually agree—both respected rabbis and recognized tarot experts.

He has studied Kabbalah with academic, rabbinic, and practical teachers in organizations ranging from the highly respected to the highly unorthodox. And he has studied tarot with many of today’s most authoritative teachers. Myth, midrash, and sacred story from many traditions have always been central to his teaching of Kabbalistic tarot. He has taught at conferences such as StaarCon, the Northwest Tarot Symposium, and at meet-ups from Albuquerque to Tokyo, as well as at synagogues, including Romemu, Temple Beth-El of City Island, and The Village Shul.
