We don't need to be expressly invited. Membership is not by invitation.
Also, an emphasis on "practical" seems to exclude the more theoretical approaches that for instance Golden Dawn aficionados are so fond of.
I can agree with that, in the sense that a forum really can't be fully defined with a line of text. We have a pretty diverse crowd here, and if it grows it will only get more diverse. Of course you want to say something that references card reading/divination, and you want it to show up in a search, but you want to be intriguing, too. Be just a bit vague and arouse curiousity, it's more enticing that way.

I was being funny.

That's a good point.

Practical sounds very perfunctory.

And I don't think we really need to say it's 'online' do we?

Brain dump time. Eclectic Tarot is...:

- a panoramic forum
- an inclusionary/ inclusive forum (I'm not sure if the difference is US versus British English?)
- a cosmic forum
- an embracive forum
- a vibrant forum
- an alternative forum
- a free-spirited forum
- a creative forum
- an expansive forum
- an esoteric forum
- a discerning forum

I'm sure others can think of better adjectives as I'm making dinner and trying not to burn a Thai curry.

I stole this one from Charlie Brown and redesigned it :icon_eek:

Eclectic Tarot, the free forum of tarot, oracles, wicca, other forms of divination, and magical discoveries!

since we are doing this for search engines, I think more words the better.

I printed out CK's list to look over.

Getting there. I'd drop the "wicca" though. When you start naming religions, you have to name all of them - a lot of us aren't wiccans! - and that would be a lonnnnnnnng tagline.

"Esoteric" and "Spiritual" might be nice to be added in somewhere.

Not sure about "Wiccan" although I do realize some practice it.
