Hector’s comments from the Q&A with Tahir Shah group.

Thank you for your answer Tahir. Since you have a penchant for magic and difficult subjects, please let me know if you ever become interested in the history of the Tarot. I have good material on this. And I cannot refrain from saying that you are much alike your father in that you are always vibrant with live experience in all you write- which also translates as fresh, honest, and transparent. Keep writing!

Hi Tahir! I hope you don't find this Q misplaced here but I have tried messaging you about it but didn't get any answer. Your father has an 'annotation' among others in the final portion of his bok The Sufis called Tarot, where he asserts that the prototype of this strange deck of cards was created by an Arabic-speaking Sufi master to teach about cosmic influences on man - then it got into Italy in the 14th century where it got translated (partially wrongly) into the icons and imagery of that place and time. Could you give more details on this? And a follow-up Q: Have you ever had any interest on this subject, so as to write on it perhaps? Thankful for any answer. Héctor
