Shawn MacKenzie

Shawn MacKenzie is an author known for her contributions to the world of fantasy, particularly focusing on dragons, mythology, and esoteric themes. While her primary work revolves around writing rather than creating traditional tarot or oracle decks, she has ventured into the realm of card-based divination through her collaboration on The Dragon Tarot. This deck, co-created with artist Terry Donaldson, draws on MacKenzie’s deep knowledge of dragon lore and mythology, offering a mystical and imaginative approach to tarot readings.

The Dragon Tarot features a dragon-themed interpretation of traditional tarot archetypes, with the cards bringing together mythic dragon imagery and symbolism to provide guidance and insights. MacKenzie’s work on the deck complements her broader interest in dragons, which is reflected in her other writings, such as The Dragon Keeper's Handbook, a detailed exploration of dragon mythology, biology (as imagined), and cultural significance.

MacKenzie's focus in her work is often on the spiritual and fantastical, making her collaboration in creating a dragon-themed tarot deck a natural extension of her interests. Her contributions to the deck offer a unique take on the tarot, especially for those who are drawn to the mythic, magical, and awe-inspiring presence of dragons in storytelling and divination.
