1. Your house leans to one side, in the direction of where you keep your decks and books.
2. You see an ordinary garden beetle, and you think of Lo Scarabeo.
3. You name your firstborn child Hierophant.
4. In traffic, an angry driver shouts You fool! at you. This makes you feel good.
5. You think PMS stands for Palladini, Marseilles and Scapini.
6. You decide to start buying your decks online, and the local metaphysical bookstore goes out of business.
7. At the office, the sight of an ordinary pack of index cards makes you salivate.
8. While carrying two glasses of orange juice to the breakfast table, you experience an uncontrollable urge to pour the contents of one glass into the other.
9. You pack up your entire family and move to Stamford, Connecticut, just to be closer to U.S. Games, Inc.
10. Your monthly Amazon.com credit card charges now exceed that of your rent.
11. On a trip to Ireland, you see a real Celtic cross and don't recognize it.
12. You try to claim the children in the Six of Cups card as dependants on your income tax form.
13. You teach your child to count to ten, starting with zero.
14. You buy a new pair of Rider jeans, but they don't look right, so you embroider -Waite on the pocket.
15. Although most of your friends have given up on you, those few you have left are understanding individuals who hold important positions in society -- as emperors, high priestesses, etc.
16. Your children can't play Monopoly, because the Chance and Community Chest cards are missing. You stole them, then used your marker pen to turn them into oracle cards. Then you uploaded the deck to Orphalese.
