I deleted the following empty heads: Tarocchi, Egyptology, New Age. Also, I made the intro of the article more readible.
In the article itself there's still too much information. I think the article could be a lot shorter, better organised and more precise perhaps, bye, Hippocrates
I noticed some gaps here, and filled them in with text from an article (http://www.kuro5hin.org/story/2002/8/19/34242/5888) I wrote for kuro5hin.org. There are no copyright issues to this: kuro5hin does not (http://www.kuro5hin.org/special/legal) claim ownership of stuff posted to it.
What makes the Isis Tarot "very spiritual"? - Gwalla 23:25, May 8, 2004 (UTC)
"The cards in each suit are numbered 2 through 10 with four "face" cards." This makes 13 cards per suit, and does not fit with the need for 56=4*14 minor arcana cards! David.Monniaux 10:11, 26 Jul 2004 (UTC)
I've amended relevant section to add the Aces in too - someone obviously forgot to mention them, as they are generally considered distinct from other "pip" cards (dependant upon who you ask.) Warren 17:45, 10 Oct 2004 (UTC)
I quoth this article's introduction:
"Tarot played with a 78-card set with similarities both to usual card sets and to usual card sets." Huh? Do you mean similarities with the tarot card sets, or something else? I'm afraid this sentence, as written, doesn't make any sense at all. User:Sim 27 Jul 2004
- Tarot Companion by Tracy Porter ISBN 1-56718-574-6 - this is an essential reference guide for any serious student of the Tarot.
Removing above quoted text: Can somebody more balanced than the book's author verify whether the last entry on the References list should be included? The change was slipped in under the guise of a minor edit and seems unlikely to be very useful.
Inappropriate spam?
Aren't these links inappropriate? They offer no information on Tarot:

hierphant- magician
Is the author refering to the hierophant when this should be magician?
- Yes. Hierophant is a Greek word that adds glamour to any sentence in which it appears ;) --Wetman 20:03, 3 Feb 2005 (UTC)
