The Brokeback Tarot Deck-Include Name of Card in Subject Line
Front-Ranger:
Okay, great! I agree with you about Lureen as Venus, uh, The Empress. But I want you to promise to keep an open mind when we get to the Emperor. Janice, we are not quite ready for the Kings/Princes, but I will keep that in mind. The next card is The Emperor. We are cautioned not to think of the Emperor as the opposite of The Empress. On this card we see armor and a stone throne. The Waite deck calls this the card of possibility and a task or trial assigned while in the desert. This card is associated with Aries. It refers to the power we possess within ourselves, the potential to discover, and to achieve new possibilities in life and love. So, what should be pictured on the card The Emperor??

Sounds like Monroe to me. Or if it doesn't have to be gender correct, Alma.

That sounds like Brokeback to me..Where they found all those possibilities playing out. Along with the weather, and the things that brought them together. .Or does it have to be a person. Could it be the spirit of the mountain.?
Ellemeno:
Aguirre as Emperor?
And in case I'm not back in time - Earl as Hierophant?
Front-Ranger:
Okay, here is what we've got so far. On some of these, we may have a poll shortly!
THE MAGICIAN: Ang Lee, Jack
THE HIGH PRIESTESS: Annie Proulx
THE EMPRESS: Lureen, Jack, the Wind
THE EMPEROR: The mountain, Aguirre, Monroe
Also, I'd like to suggest Ennis here, because I like to think of him as The Emperor of Wyoming (song by Neil Young). The armor and stone throne also seem to fit him. Also he had all the possibilities before him...
