<details text="Tarot ramblings"><summary>Tarot ramblings</summary>So last night, I was thinking that since I'm obviously more motivated to take pictures than batik, maybe I'd do a photographic version of the Major Arcana instead :3  After thinking about it for a bit, I decided that, while they might not make good, usable cards, they might make neat pictures to hang on one's wall.  With that decision came the idea that I need not strictly follow the symbolism if they're not going to be read that way, so I decided to come up with my own, more abstract symbolism.  I used numbers that seemed to be good, and concepts that I've thought about in the past.  And accidentally came up with the Major Arcana all over again (with a few transpositions and minor differences).  Whups!

Dunno if it'll go anywhere, since it's basically the Majors as they are, with a few switcheroos, but who knows :D
