[Pamela]

This book has awesome type design on the cover, and I thought it would be interesting to read an older tarot book. Interpretations and styles come in and out of fashion, so it's good not to be completely immersed in the contemporary versions.

But. "In the Sepher Yetzirah, the sixth Path is the Mediating Influence, through which infuse the increasing emanations. Besides being called the Lovers, number 6 can also be called The Two Paths, A Man Between Virtue and Vice, and Cupid with a Bow and Arrow." What?

There's hints of interesting ideas buried under all sorts of WTFery. It's not worth trying to find them.

But the cover is cool.
