Tarot Channel

Interesting blog/website called The Tarot Channel. Many of the postings are by Mark McElroy but other writers on the Tarot also have articles.

It just hasn't been that long. I know that civilizations go through historical cycles but I didn't realize how quickly people (in general -- of course I'm not talking about you) forget lessons learned. We are so crazy it's scary.
