Tarot: Knights in shining armor

Tarot our western system of symbolism
remains unrivalled in it's rich visual con-
tent and meaning.

The focus of tarot semblances presented over the
Past year now turns it's imagery to the actualities of our
everyday world via the pip cards. In tarot people are
generally represented by the Court cards. The first of
these are the Knights or Kings.

In Aleister Crowley's rendering the Knights portray
older men frequently over forty ycars of age. Each
Knight has an astrological association.

passionate yet baianced ‘approach to
mind, heart and soul. ~
The Knight of Swords lives in the realm
of thought. Poetry and prose fly ele-
gantly, casily through his dialogue. He
seldom enunciates or writes anything
that is not of consequence, he is indeed
vivified by thought. His intellect is
boundless and he adeprly explores any
realm of the mind. His words pull us to
him as his utterances echo the profound.

Whether you're 16 or 60, if you're about to.

become a new driver in British Columbia,

there are some important facts you should

. ‘know about. On May 4, 1998, the learner’s
licence period will be lengthened to 90
‘days. Then on August 1, 1898, the Gradu-
ated Licensing Program for New Drivers will
begin in our province.

GRADUATED LICEMSING
WILL HELP REDUCE
CRASHES.
New drivers, regardless of age, are almost
twice as likely to cause a collision than
“experienced motorists. in fact, one in five
drivers is involved in 2 crash within the first
two years on the road. Graduated licensing
will reduce the number and severity of
*- crashes involving new drivers by requiring
them to get more experience and develop
better driving skills.

TWO STAGES ARE
REQUIRED.

With graduated licensing, new drivers must
pass two stcges before getting a fuil dri-
ver's licence: The Learner stage and the
Intermediate stage. During both these
stages there are driving restrictions. Some
of the conditions are in effect for the entire
length of the program, while others are

lifted once you reach the Intermediate stage. ~

It will now take at least 21 months for a
new driver to obtain a full driver’s licence.

3 months with approved driver education)
