As for the writer himself, his destruction of the Golden Dawn was moronic with his bizarre ideas of seniority over ability, with his jelousy and fears put upon others because of his inadequaties.

I guess you could say my post means I don't like Waite, I think he's a fraud. His Pictorial Key to the Tarot might be useable for a beginer. The Holy Kabbalah is alright if you can get past his ramblings of which he does alot of, I would perfer Fortune's Mystical Qabala (IMG:style_emoticons/default/00000047.gif) -------------------- "DARE TO BE WISE" The Enigma League

Is your statement: "the book was designed to be unusable " a: an Objective statement or b: a Subjective statement? a: Did A.E.Waite (as many other occultists and mystics did ) design a book that was deliberately full of erroneas or mis information? (As it is alleged did Eliphias Levi) b: or are you saying that the execution and style of the book makes it impractical for you to use? From your tone I am imagining its the latter but if its the former i would be interested in hearing more of an indepth review of the blinds and potential tripping points incorporated into the text. This i imagine would be of great service to those of us just beginning on the path. thanks again
