to
http://www.egreenway.com/tarot/index.htm
Today, I replaced the /wands8 webpages with redirects to the /tarot webpages.
Card of the Day:
I started today to move all my Tarot books to one shelving location in the Green Room - my home library and study. Over the next week I will make sure that I have a complete inventory of my Tarot books, decks, and resources. I will add all items to my Tarot Bibliography.

As I do my daily research on the Tarot I need a place to keep my notes. This webpage will be that location.
Today I received the CD and notebook from James Wanless for Way of the Seeker program.
The Notebook is titled "Way of the Seeker Insight Journal" and subtitled "Self-Explorations and Personal Growth Through Sysmbols of Transformation" by James Wanless, Ph.D. The whole package, including mailing, cost me $150.00. I wrote Mr. Wanless an email, but he has not responded back to me.
