Sent to me by a friend, here's some extracts (it's quite long);

0. The Neophyte

A priest and priestess stand facing one another,
performing the Great Rite symbolically by plunging a
dagger into a chalice. In the circle surrounding them,
a neophyte covers her smiling mouth, trying to
suppress a giggle.

Divinatory Meaning: Innocence. A new beginning. There
was a time when all of this was good natured fun and
not something you took so seriously.

Reversed Meaning: Difficulty in expressing honest
laughter. You're taking this all too seriously. Get a
life.


I. The Magician

The magician stands outside his double-parked car in a
jammed parking lot. He wears full ceremonial regalia
and has an altar set up. In his hand is an open book
entitled, "Incantations to Asphaltia to find parking
spaces."

Divinatory Meaning: You need to understand your own
resources better. Don't use a sledgehammer to knock on
a door.

Reversed Meaning: You have lost sight that the map is
not the territory.


II. The High Priestess

A Wiccan priestess stands, arms outstretched, wearing
several pounds worth of pentacles, Celtic jewelry,
astrological bracelets, and medallions. She looks
ready to tip over.

Divinatory Meaning: You may find yourself with sudden
yearnings to join a Roman Catholic convert or
seminary. Even if you're most definitely not Catholic.
Don't scoff. Stranger things have happened.

Reversed Meaning: You are ready to liberate yourself
from the shackles of your old way of life and to put
on the shackles of a new way of life.



...and so on. Tee hee.
