** Tarot cards and their history are also the central theme of one of his early trilogies.
* Harry Potter used Tarot symbolism a couple of times, most obviously in a the chapter called "The Lightning-Struck Tower" in which {{spoiler|Dumbledore died}} and the Tarot divination seance done by Trelawney which Harry spied on. It's also arguable that Snape has been made intentionally in a Hanged Man figure with the image of his young self under the spell of Levicorpus - he certainly fits the meaning.

* One ''[[Wild Cards]]'' book features a variant with Rosa Loteria, an Ace whose powers depend on which card she draws out of a Mexican ''loteria'' deck.
* In Emma Bull's book ''[[Bone Dance]]'', Tarot itself plays a large role, and the chapters are set up like an actual Tarot reading.
