As a recognized scholar in the field, Christine has been featured on many broadcasts and is the author of The Underground Stream: Esoteric Tarot Unveiled, a book on the history and deeper meanings of Tarot decks and cards.  In 2011, she released a deck entitled Tarot of the Holy Light, made in collaboration with her husband, Michael Dowers.
