Quote: Originally posted by Fulgour Francuskojęzyczny Szwajcar (1719 - 1784) "Antoine Court de Gebelin" 'FrancuskojEzyczny Szwajcar' would translate into English as 'Francophone [french-speaking] Swiss man', i.e., Swiss-French. It's not a first and name name. That was probably pulled by the researcher from a biography of de Gebelin in Polish. e.g., http://www.tarot.conpas.org/html/court.html "Antoine Court de Gebelin (1719-1784). Swiss-French. Protestant pastor. Occultist." Note: E = I don't have a Polish keyboard so I can't type the letter: an e with a cedilla underneath. It's the Polish nasal vowel pronounced like the French "in" as in the word "fin".

You type "and ...", then your signature line follows. Did you miss typing in a last entry or, rather, are you ranking yourself in the company of those tarot illuminaries?

Fulgour: Appreciate the information. I was not aware "Aleister Crowley" nor "Lady Frieda Harris" are pseudonyms as what I have read on them have not mentioned this.

I'm expecting to hear about my questioning Lady Frieda Harris as the legitamate name of Marguerit Bloxam, but there is no evidence for it. Crowley changed his name to Aleister so it would appear alphabetically ahead of Arthur Edward Waite, which makes its own weird kind of sense.
