Re: Coping with Tarot

So cool to see that there are other folks here interested in Tarot :D bibliophilia - I haven't got a Crowley-Thoth deck yet, but it's on my wish list. I figure that if I'm going to understand Tarot fully, I should have more than just Rider-Waite decks! The Thoth approach is very interesting to me an...

I am a Tarot enthusiast - I collect decks, read cards, and meditate on them. I have found that my cards have become a comfort object for me, and that I can distract myself really easily by reading them and studying books on Tarot. Even if you don't read Tarot cards, you could try picking up a deck a...

Can't change my password

I had to recover my password a few days ago, and it gave me a new login password. However, when I try to change it now, it tells me that the current password is too short. :-? Baffling. Can anyone help with this?

Thanks,

Re: Writing a work of fiction?

I do the same thing, only with my ED. My characters go through what I want to do to myself, and all the fallout and "side effects", and I realize that I don't really want to do it. I don't know whether my characters' actual acts help me feel better, or reading about the fallout makes me feel better,...
