The Brokeback Tarot Deck-Include Name of Card in Subject Line
Front-Ranger:
Let's just go through the Major Arcana, card by card, okay? Then, I'll compile your thoughts and come up with some sketches.
We start with The Magician. On many tarot decks, the Magician is pictured as either a jester or wizard type of person, with a series of tools and symbols arrayed around him or her.
Some of these are the Eye of Horus, a wand, pentagram, knives, cups, herbs, trees, etc.
Who or what is the Magician in Brokeback Mountain and what tools or symbols should be included?
Daniel suggests Jack as the Magician, but oilgun thinks Jack should be the Fool. Also, what about the mountain itself as Magician? After all, it is mysterious and casts spells. But several people have suggested that the mountain should be The World.

Is the wizard supposed to be good or evil? Or a combination of both...I am not too familiar
with all the tenants of Tarot cards.
Meryl:
Maybe the Magician could be Annie Proulx. Or is there another major card that she fits better?

Wizards are amoral. Neither good nor bad.
Might I suggest Ang Lee? Just a thought. ;D
