Yes, and thank you for the request. In December 1999, I summarized my understanding of of the Tarot thusly:
Quote:0. There is plenty of nothing for everyone.
1. Though things change they forever remain the same.
2. All men are equal creators.
3. The cause is within the effect.
4. Surrendering control is powerful.
5. Moderate moderation.
6. A life lived in service is truly free.
7. Expect the unexpected.
8. If you love something, let it go.
9. Lead and others will follow.
Later, in 2003-2004 I had a summer job reading Tarot cards for guests at a resort in Scottsdale, AZ. My experiences with this work led me to believe that most people considered the Tarot as a method of divination, rather than as a method of self-awareness. This was evidenced by the majority of people's questions boiling down to: "Tell me what to do" and being disappointed when I refused to honor such a request.
That was pretty much the last time I used Tarot cards on any regular basis.
