Tarot ramblingsSo 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!
  1. Time
  2. Chaos
  3. maternity/conception
  4. paternity/creation
  5. guidance
  6. authority
  7. structure/organization
  8. Order
  9. consistency
  10. collapse/unwilling change
  11. rebellion/willing change
  12. withdrawal
  13. recognition
  14. restructure/integration
  15. Balance
  16. elation
  17. exertion
  18. maintenance
  19. release
  20. destruction
  21. creation/rejuvenation
  22. full circle/ouroboros

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