History Channel - Secrets of the Playing Card, Tarot Clip

I enjoyed watching this, very well done not at all sensationalistic.

Thanks for that. [Did those Thoth cards have an exceptionally big borders around them ? ]

Fascinating...thank you for the link. I found it disappointing that while Frieda Harris was mentioned as the artist of Crowley's Thoth, there was NO mention of Pamela Colman Smith as the artist of Arthur Waite's deck. A regrettable lapse.

Hmm...and I also always thought it was called the Waite-Smith or Rider-Waite-Smith (RWS)deck for a reason. Perhaps whoever made the contribution to History should be informed. Anyway, that clip is awesome, thank you! I watch History & H2 often but I missed that one. I'm glad it wasn't sensationalized as usual, but very informative.
