I really appreciate you giving information in a specialized area - one many of our members may not know much about - but this seems to be a lot of self advertizement.

I see no problem with trying to get some extra views and members in your websites, but we do have a seperate section of our forum for that. I suggest if you want people to visit your website, that you post in teh forums boards, you will probably get noticed faster there.

Hi Tarotforum - I read your post and found it interesting and think it will provide people young on their path with a little history lesson. I do wish you would have chosen a more personal type of name but look forward to seeing you around.

Merry Meet, Merry Part, Until We Merry Meet Again
