Thanks, Bekah! Welcome, Peter 186. 1-19

[Peter Petto]

Jumping the gun is just great. I'd love to hear more about Tarot, 
although I have to say it's a very mooshy (term of art) subject.

When new age pals have held forth on this subject, I often sit there 
thinking that just about any card could be interpreted in just about 
any way. But that's not to say it's nonsense.

There was a time in my life when I often consulted the I Ching, and 
not just because I'm a math-head who loves permutations. I find that 
when I consult its precise-but-vague and allusive text, what I end up 
seeing is not it, but something that was already within me, but that 
I hadn't already seen.

I suspect that properly-used Tarot works much the same way.
