 Thank you for your knowledge of Tarot. I'm glad you are on the 
list, and you know the cards so well. I don't use to read Tarot 
myself. I bought a set of cards when I was studying spanish classic 
literature, because they were oftenly references to them in what I 
was reading. But my knowledge doesn't go as far as yours. Concerning 
the Harry Potter books, are there other possible parallels with 
Tarot? I would be glad to read something on that topic.

Amicalement,

Iris
