Mark Horn is the
author of “Tarot and the Gates of Light: A Kabbalistic Path to
Liberation.” This innovative, spiritual workbook has won praise
from two groups that don’t usually come together—rabbis and tarot
experts.
Mark has been a life-long activist in the post-Stonewall LGBTQ
movement, starting in 1970 as a member of both the Gay Liberation
Front and the Gay Activist Alliance; as well as serving as chair of
Gay & Lesbian Youth of New York. Over the years his activism and
community service has included working as a peer counselor at the
LGBTQ counseling center, Identity House; and serving on the board
of directors of NewFest, New York City’s premier LGBTQ film
festival.
He is the editor/writer of the Stonewall Seder liturgy, a ritual
dinner celebrating Jewish LGBTQ Pride, which has been used and
adapted by congregations around the United States, Europe and
Australia.
Mark is probably the only person who has taught at the Readers
Studio International Tarot Conference, the Jewish Theological
Seminary and the Identity House Gay Men’s Conference.
He lives on the Upper West Side in New York City where he is
available for private instruction and consultation.
