Brokeback Mountain: Our Community's Common Bond > The Lighter Side
The Brokeback Tarot Deck-Include Name of Card in Subject Line
oilgun:
I'm leafing through my Tarot book (Mastering the Tarot by Eden Gray) and here are some thogughts for the first third of teh amjor Arcana:
The Fool = Jack
Hear me out: The Fool represents the beginning of all creativity and the desire to accomplish impossibly beautiful goals. Here are all the joys and possibilities of adventure. Each of us faces many choices in life. A fresh choice is before yoyu - choose wisely.
The Hierophant = Ennis
Need to conform. The importance of being socially approved, especially by one's own group. Bondage to the conventions of society. Preference for the outer forms of religion. (OK the last sentence, not so much)

--- Quote from: oilgun on December 15, 2007, 07:54:47 pm ---I think Rifles should replace Swords for sure
I kinda like Cups to remain cups as in tin cups of coffee, but cans of beans is good too.
Rods or Wands become Ropes? Am I right?
Pentacles become Frying Pans?
--- End quote ---
I said ropes for swords and was thinking of "air" and picturing lariats being thrown through the air.
And pans, yes, pans, as in cooking pans, cooking, being part of the earth, sharing community...The scenes of Jack and Ennis cooking and eating together gave me a sense of earthiness.
But I am just brainstorming here....
While I understand the "guns" and "rifles" symbolism, I am less than thrilled with it, but that's me.

I get it now, I was too excited. So it's Rifles for Wands then, since Wands represent Fire.

I don't have any suggestions, but this certainly sounds interesting. I will continue to stay tuned in.

This is fun!
I'm just throwing out some obvious ones:
The Chariot = Pickup Truck
Success, victory through hard work; the well-balanced life. Triumph over ill health, money difficulties, or enemies of any sort. Aresposible nature, An ability to resist temptation. Travel in comfort.
Jack's pickup trucks became more expensive and flashy as the story progressed.
The World = Brokeback Mountain
Fulfillment of all desires. Reward; assured success. Freedom to move ahead in all undertakings. The ability to make others happy. Change of home or means of livelihood; travel. Arrival at a state of cosmic consciousness. The path of liberation.
