There are many ways to interpret Tarot cards, and many interconnections and related pieces of symbology that are up for interpretation.

What is the R.A.V.E Act and How it Affects US?
4:00-5:00pm, By: Eli Woods
The Illicit Drug Anti-Proliferation Act, commonly referred to as the RAVE Act, gives federal authorities the power to significantly fine an event for knowingly and “intentionally profiting” from drug use. This vague language has been interpreted to mean that festival organizers cannot provide drug education or safety services. Some argue that this contributes to deaths from ecstasy and other drug-related complications. Come learn about the Rave act, it’s implementation, and the movement to amend or remove it. Discover what types of education and services can’t be provided at events, and discuss the potential effects of this legislation.
