Mantis's little Tarot joke

This is the message as the crawl holds it, before anything here touched it. What the conversation shows has been through ingest: transfer encodings decoded, attachments dropped, quote markers repaired, and the archiver’s ? resolved into quotation marks and dashes. Those repairs are judgements and some of them are wrong, which is what this page is for. Email addresses are obscured here as they are everywhere else on the site, so it is before our repairs rather than byte for byte.

Heh.  For those who don't get it (I didn't until I read up a bit on the
Tarot), "Crowley" here is not John but Aleister, the well-known British
occultist, who designed his own Tarot deck with the help of Freida
Harris.
