The Brokeback Tarot Deck-Include Name of Card in Subject Line
Front-Ranger:
Does my subject line answer your question, Meryl?? 8)
Considering the fact that you are the High Priestess of BetterMost and have an uncanny resemblance to our beloved Proulxlitzer Prizewinner, I might even put a picture of you bestowing your blessing on the gathered pilgrims in Alberta on the card, if you will give your permission!!
Here is an interesting quote from AP:
"...the images of an ideal and seemingly attainable world the characters cherish in their long views despite the rigid and difficult circumstances of their place and time. Those things interest me and are what I write about. I watch for the historical skew between what people have hoped for and who they thought they were and what befell them."

Aw, that's sweet of you FRiend, but if we start putting real life BetterMostians on the cards, I don't feel it would be universal enough. However, a BetterMost Tarot Deck would be an interesting project on its own! 8)
Front-Ranger:
Okay, HP, I'll put that on my list!! Rite now I'm working on a Men and Women of BetterMost calendar, so don't know when I'll get to it!! If I had three hands heads I could!!
The next card is The Empress. This is described as Venus, alluring and iresistable. A union of heaven and earth, a crown of stars and material power. "Venus, the power of love, appears in the card independently by herself. . . .when you cling to another person because you aren't able to stand on your own two feet, the other person might be saving your life, but the relationship is not love. Paradoxically, the ability to be alone is a prerequisite of loving." Very interesting.
Meryl:
Sounds like Lureen to me. :)
ifyoucantfixit:
I like the idea of Ang Lee as the Wizard. Annie Proulx as the high priestess.
I think Ennis should be the prince of swords.
Jack should be the equivalent on a different suit.
