Talk:Wheel of Fortune (Tarot card)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
I removed the "Examples" section since it was entirely Original Research which Wikipedia does not allow. I left the "mythopoeteic interpretation" section because that may have come from a reputable source but it seems to be something based on personal interpretation like the "Examples" section. - DNewhall
NOTE FOR CHANGE
Winged creatures are in the four corners of the card, a man, an eagle, a bull, and a ram, each with an open book.
The bottom right winged creature is a lion not a ram.
EZEKIEL 1:10 As for the likeness of their faces, they four had the face of a man, and the face of a lion, on the right side: and they four had the face of an ox on the left side; they four also had the face of an eagle. 70.246.30.248 12:30, 2 May 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Unverifiable and unbalanced content
The article is just personal opinions from an occult enthusiast about the nature and meaning of a particular tarot card. No peer reviewed books or journal articles are cited. No references or footnotes are given. When a new statement is added, the source needs to be cited, and the source needs to be verifiable, and reliable. Waite is not an unbiased, factual source on the history or evolution of tarot cards. The work can be cited properly, however: "Waite's opinion in his book The Pictorial Key to the Tarot ... etc" The other sources are completely suspect as to their academic nature.
The card in question has a history of over 500 years in European card games in which it is used as trump card (see Tarocchi). The article is unbalanced in that it only features the recent uses of the card for divination. This makes the article biased due to its recentism. Since the article ignores use of the card for game play in Europe and other parts of the world, it offers an anglo-american perspective that raises NPOV issues. There are academic sources and sources from international organizations discussing the history and evolution of the Wheel of Fortune card (originally shown with men in ascent and descent) as well as its use in games. These need to be utilized. - Parsa 06:50, 23 January 2007 (UTC)
