Errata in the
Guide to the Pythagorean Tarot
John Opsopaus
A number of typographical and other errors slipped through my proof-reading. Most of them are minor and will be unnoticed by most readers, or will not confuse them. However, a few are potentially confusing or misleading, and they are listed here.
Please report any other errors that you find.
Thanks!
