You know, religion itself has always had this same problem: when something rich and deep, meaningful and helpful becomes popular and widespread, what do you do about it? It's a problem that all the major religions seem to 'encourage' by their proselytizing. In the case of tarot, apparently all the major publishing houses and metaphysical bookstores and psychic faires are doing the promotion.
The solution to the 'problem' has usually been to have two versions: an 'inner' and an 'outer' -- one for the mass consumption, and a deeper one for the more serious inquirer.
