General Comments
Of these Tarot card articles, this one is perhaps the one needing most work. I agree with what everyone else said above, about this being largely unsourced. I don't think that most of this is original research or opinion, as I've read it all elsewhere. It meanders over a variety of sources, including Jung (who wrote on Tarot) and the Jungian Tarot book (whose author I don't remember), as well as taking wholesale interpretations out of the booklets accompanying several tarot decks (all of which are copyrighted to U.S. Games systems), and then, some other systems as well. The article focuses mostly on Ryder-Waite and should so state, as so many other Tarot decks use different iconography. I put in a few fact tags where this problem is most apparent (borrowing from others' writings or making claims that would be opinion if in fact the editor hadn't read them elsewhere). I'm going to try and find a more appropriate tag for this - copyediting is done, it needs citations.Levalley (talk) 18:21, 7 April 2009 (UTC)

Possible information to be added
I looked up some possible historical information that can be added to the page. The sources are cited below in case anyone would like to go over the sources and add anything.

This is a research article published by Association for Computing Machinery, so it should be a reliable source. The article covers meanings of certain Tarot cards and some history of Tarot, but mainly discusses how they used Tarot cards to create their online game.
