Claudia is damaged, living in exile and holds a tenuous family link with the Tarot. Rediscovering the truths held within these cards, sets her on a course of exploration to unearth the depths she has so neatly tucked away. Peeling back her layers, great damage and pain seep out to disrupt and expose the escapism she has walled herself behind and the elements of her life she has shunned. Emotional dams that stopper joy, a mind controlled by others, activities that counteract her own best interests; Claudia finds a half-life in urgent need of attention.
With Tarot as her guide, tattoos are inked to illustrate these struggles and the lessons she finds, as she stumbles her way through a most confronting dive into her own inner world. But this visual therapy is more; it is a conversation with herself, to untangle the harm she has incurred and re-set a life ambushed by the expectations of others and a diminished view of herself.
Tarot and tattoos mingle in this odyssey of personal discovery, as Claudia wrestles both the past and herself to find personal and family truths that refuse to remain underground.

C.A. Park has been reading Tarot for 40 years both professionally and casually and is endlessly fascinated by what makes people tick. Collaborating with tattooists for the last 35 years has been an important avenue to record and illustrate the challenges and milestones she has encountered whilst facing her own demons. She credits the combination of Tarot and tattoos with saving much of her sanity over many decades and Rummaging through Shadows is a reflection of and a thank you to the process of using Tarot to untangle and tattoos to document.
Every order from Imaginary Adventures is wrapped in our cozy‑magical packaging, complete with themed bookmarks, stickers, and other shop extras. We love making each book feel like a small adventure when it arrives.
