The Brokeback Tarot Deck-Include Name of Card in Subject Line
Front-Ranger:
Winding up the Higher Arcana, here is The Hermit, starring guess who! I wasn't quite sure which of Ennis's hermetic phases you wanted me to picture here, so I featured the last "Jack I swear" scene in the central position. THere's also a photo of Ennis at the bus station eating his humble pie and The scene where he pukes after leaving Jack for the first time. I also pictured Ma Twist, another significant hermit, as well as the coffeepot that symbolizes Ennis and his gun.
Front-Ranger:
If I could have a little more encouragement, I could finish up this deck. Man, there are a lot of cards in the Tarot!! I plan to make it available as one pdf file that can be printed all at one time, in addition to posting the individual cards here. A question: what should be on the reverse side? All of the cards will be the same, so I imagine a picture of Ennis and Jack, perhaps with Brokeback Mountain somewhere, should be the subject of the reverse??
Here is the book where I got most of my information: Burger, Evelin, Tarot basics
Front-Ranger:
In honor of the Emperor of Wyoming (song by Neil Young) I give you the Emperor Card.
Front-Ranger:
From The Secret Language of Birthdays:
The 4th card of the major arcana is The Emperor, who rules over concrete and worldly things whtough wisdom, the primary source of his power. The Emperor is stable and profound, the force of his authority can not be questioned. The positive associations of this card are strong willpower and steadfast energy, unfavorable qualities include willfulness, tyranny, and brutality. For those born on April 4, the Emperor's steadiness and determination can serve as a useful metaphor.

It's pretty obvious I've been out of the Bettermost loop for quite a while but I found this lil tarot project interesting. Lee, have you dropped it? (considering the last reply was in April of last year)
