Growing Up and Aliester Crowley's Thoth Tarot Cards
Visiting Los Banos a month ago, I saw a relic of my high school daze. Yes, I had the Crowley-Harris set, which was a hand-me-down from my brother, who bought a brand new Rider-Waite set as a gift to himself, possibly rewarding his own growing competence in the art of fortune-telling.
Yes, as young adults, both of us were budding sorcerers. We liked our Atari, but we loved Dungeons and Dragons more (I had a cleric, he had a magic-user; of course, this was before we learned to bet any real money in pusoy). Everyone knows the real fun is in being a psionic. Anyway, why did he hand me the old deck? I guess he really didn't like the art too much, because they were naked women. I liked it because it reminded me of Boris Vallejo. And this movie. No, we didn't play with Ouija boards, but that's just because we couldn't find any.
I did have dreams of 8-foot tall glowing humanoids watching us from outside our room.

Aren't tarot decks supposed to be bought or given to the user to have power? It supposedly loses its potency if you buy it on your own.
It would be cool if they printed the Snoopy and the Peanuts gang tarot:

Yes, it would be cool. And, yes, lately, I noticed that I say "yes" a lot.
Mark -- that's new age mumbo-jumbo, I'm afraid. It really is just a pack of cards.
But this is what you really want: http://www.aeclectic.net/tarot/hello/
