You have been seriously misinformed.

And your disingenuousness in promoting your own site in such a dishonest
manner as if an unaffiliated testimonial demonstrates an intellectual
dishonesty that should discourage any one thinking of making a purchase
from your site.

Were it not for that i would suggest a number of sites that have a
fuller. more complete selection of more traditional "occult" supplies of
whatever type an individual might be looking for.

Starting with cheap brass candle holders and "Spells for Teens."
To say nothing of the 'spell kits' and spell casting offers in the
google advert section of your site.

Any honest supplier of occult supplies would not be offering anonymous
'spells' from non affiliated sources.

You might get some curious kids willing to spend their allowance on you
'products' but your advertising this way in these groups just makes you
look dishonest.

Where is this? I never saw the original post, only your response with
the link snipped.
From your account though, maybe it's for the best, but I'm the curious
sort :)

Well, of course he has. Having been misinformed is a very good reason to
doubt the reliability and trustworthiness of one's informers.

And now *you* pose as the informer. Is there any reason you can offer as to
why *you* should be thought more trustworthy than the rest?

All this just because he didn't tout *your* favorite site for occult
trinkets.

*Your* favorite site for occult trinkets does.

Its in a lot of 'occult' groups, i was composing a response to the ones
i read and i guess it was actually not posted to alt.magick.

However, a copy can be found in any of the other X posted groups of this
message.

Actually its by the same person posting in alt.magick as "MidnightRise"
and under to subject line of "Found a Great Magick Supply Store"

Even tried to sneak one by the mods on ARWM. It's the same post with
different subject lines and a feeble attempt to hide what it had already
done by changing its headers.

Any decent online bookstore has plenty of tarot cards available for
sale. For example:
http://www.powells.com/s?kw=tarot+cards&x=0&y=0

Or even Amazon:

My, according to you, 'favorite site' only sells their own, and not
others whom they have no knowledge of ... you anatomical orifice.

But thanks again for demonstrating your comprehension of the written
word is even less developed than your minimal ability to read it, not
bad for an eliminatory orifice but still, not up to the standards you
would like others to believe you are capable of.

You didn't say "selling". You said "offering", and yes, they do offer
anonymous spells on their site. As for the authorship of the spells they
*do* sell, many of those are allegedly "traditional" spells whose authorship
is anonymous. Your huckster friends are *not* selling only spells that they
have created themselves.

> But thanks again for demonstrating your comprehension of the written word

I comprehend the difference between the word "offer" and the word "sell",
which you demonstrably didn't. At least you didn't until I educated you
just now. As one might expect, though, you're not a fan of being educated,
so your resentment of it is understandable.

you anatomically correct eliminatory orifice.

Oy! yes they sell the 'spells' they make, or endorse from known sources
you anatomically correct eliminatory orifice.

No, you didn't say "google advert". You said "anonymous 'spells' from
non-affiliated sources". Try to keep straight the difference between what
you actually wrote and what you merely imagine that you've written.

I agree that your idols don't often advertise others' products on their
website. At least not for free...

Traditional sources are almost entirely from anonymous authors. Ergo, they
are not "known sources", despite your dog-like faith in the omnipotence and
perfect righteousness of your masters. You do realize that even they think
you're a twit, don't you?

"Unaffiliated source" does not mean "google advert", either. There are all
sorts of affiliations. Perhaps if you actually know what the words you were
using mean, you would be less likely to choose yours so poorly. One word
you should definitely look up is "sycophancy".

It seems you yourself have forgotten this lesson. You've been bragging that
you'd filtered me out for some time now, but it's apparent that this wasn't
really the case. If there's one thing that's consistent about you, it's
your inablity to display mastery of the lessons you try to teach to others.

The one that I actually, no, you can't. It's the seventies non-bowdlerized
Yaeger deck.

Dragging this to something actually relevant....

I'm really not into the Tarot, though I do know something, having read what
many folks I respect consider the last word on Tarot, the Case book from,
what, 1911?

Anyway, there are a number of decks I think work, other than
the "traditional" ones (and yes, we know the artist of some). Let's see,
there's the one my old friend Mary Hanson-Roberts did (and I know she
worked on those for *years* - as in, she'd been working on them for eight
years in the mid-seventies, and they weren't published until '85. I,
personally, rather like the *unbowdlerized* Yaeger deck; the friend that
showed me hers has the only one I've ever seen (bowdlerized, as in it looks
like someone's 11-yr-old used a crayon to draw boxer shorts on the
figures).

Others' preferences?

I've accumulated a collection of decks, including some that seem great
for certain types of readings, though not for general readings. For
certain types of decisions, I've been delighted with Tarot of the 78
Doors, by Pietro Alligo & Antonella Platano.

More generally, I use the standard Ryder-Waite, the Robin Woods deck, or
the Mary Hanson-Roberts deck.

My favorite deck is the Aquarian Tarot... the watercolor and soft
pictures suit the Moonchild in me.

For online readings, I prefer to use the Mage Tarot, though. They just
seem to be more accurate going through the bitstream. I'm thinking it's
a Technocracy thing ;)

I know all about Sycophancy. Jest ask me.. ..It has to do with ONE

Sun Myung Moon is a GREAT leader, and has MANY sycophants.
While David Albans over in alt.religion.angels is jest a pion leader
and only has three maybe four sycophants. But there all the same

I think generally alt groups that are moderated have moderated in their
title, so you can probably assume that the moderated group is the one
non-alt group in the groups. Ie. soc.religion.paganism

You really can't avoid them, unless you hide in one NG, and have

Yep. Just include *one* moderated newsgroup in the crossposts.
Articles including a moderated group are sent first to the moderators'
queue and, if killed there, never appear even in the unmoderated
newsgroups.

NNTP servers have been configured that way since moderated newsgroups
were introduced back in nineteen-eighty something.
