The Moonlit Underground

So, are you intrigued yet? Have I aroused your curiosity? Yes? Good.

Alright… where to begin? Well, as you may already know, the fictional creator of the Clow Cards was a half-Chinese half-English magician named Clow Reed.

Now, the English occultist behind The Book of Thoth and the Thoth Tarot, is of course Aleister Crowley.

What I want you to pay close attention to is his last name, Crowley. Compare Crowley to Clow Reed (or kurou riido, romanized). The similarity is uncanny. XD

And there you have another instance of CLAMP putting in references to Tarot.

(Short article, I know. My laptop’s been sent in for repairs and I’m on this ancient desktop from hell until it’s fixed.)
