Is this one the "colour it yourself" deck that comes with a box of pencils? We should mention that if so. —Ashley Y 06:39, 22 September 2005 (UTC)
Yes, that's the one. afaik, it iosn't available in any other form.
I see two categories that don't seem particularly applicable after reflection: Prediction and Games. I understand that many use the Tarot for these practices, but it doesn't really fit with this particular deck, since the deck isn't made with the slick plastic coating that one finds in playing cards. Additionally the aim of this Tarot is analytical (in the occult psychology sense) rather than to serve for either card games or fortune telling. Granted, if one truly understands what's going on inside of themselves (via self-analysis) he/she would be much better able to predict his/her own future--at least his/her own future behavior.--Jason Richards 13:14, 11 September 2006 (UTC)
- I apologize for that. I am in the process of trying to organize the tarot-related articles but I don't have a knowledge of the alternative decks so thank you for pointing that out! Sam 20:51, 11 September 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Unverifiable and unbalanced content
The article reads like an essay. All I see is original research. It has no encyclopedic content. The books listed in the Bibliogrpahy all appear to be primary sources, not peer reviewed books, theses, or journal articles. There are no direct citations to these or any other sources in the text. Sources must be verfiable and reliable. - Parsa 10:50, 27 January 2007 (UTC)
