Whisper Posted March 2, 2018 Posted March 2, 2018 If I may take your great idea into the realm of the Majors, EK... Which Major(s) are you? Which archetype(s) fit(s) you the best? You can choose more than one. Imagine this is your "calling card" and that, through your choice, you are introducing yourself at a social gathering... I'm really curious to meet you all. <3
Jewel Posted March 2, 2018 Posted March 2, 2018 Probably the Fool though I would like to fancy myself like the High Priestess LOL. I say the Fool because I am always trodding along getting into things without a lot of pre-emptive thought and then find myself there. Sometimes others have to really caution me and pull me back (like the dog in the card). I get into all kinds of lofty personal projects (tarot, painting, etc.) always trying to peak behind the veil. I am a very spiritual person so needless to that is where I feel connected to the High Priestess. But at heart I most likely the Fool so I will go with that.
dancing_moon Posted March 2, 2018 Posted March 2, 2018 I'm the Hermit all the way. I've also got a lot in common with the Moon, but the Hermit sums me up perfectly. *wanders away into a solitary cave* :o ^-^ What about you, Shivani[/member]?
Cobweb Posted March 2, 2018 Posted March 2, 2018 Oh, I am naturally a Hermit. But then I had children so I've kind of been forced to graft a lot of Empress-y traits onto my basic personality types. (Feel I should add that my children are great <3 and I'm sure that I'm learning spiritual lessons etc etc ;D ) I wish I was Temperance - but I'm really really not! I try...
Whisper Posted March 2, 2018 Author Posted March 2, 2018 What about you, Shivani[/member]? Well, I would say that I am a cross between the Hermit because I enjoy being with myself, enjoy my inner life and believe that I am blessed with the ability to teach and enlighten. I read voraciously and love learning in all its myriad forms. Yet, I am also Death because I am constantly regenerating. Change slams into my life, and, like a pheonix, I rise reborn from the ashes. I realize, now, more than ever, that it is only through transformation and metamorphosis that I can awaken to my true self and be empowered. I feel compelled to share this card with you:
Whisper Posted March 2, 2018 Author Posted March 2, 2018 It's so wonderful to meet you all like this!!! *jumping up and down*
Cobweb Posted March 2, 2018 Posted March 2, 2018 Shivani[/member] That is a beautiful card - so much scope for reflection. What deck is it from? I genuinely love Death cards. (I am naturally very resistant to change!) I love the death card for its reminder and reassurance that change is natural, inevitable, positive and the gateway to new life/rebirth.
TheFeeLion Posted March 2, 2018 Posted March 2, 2018 Ooo I like this question! I think I’m bits a pieces of a few different cards... Queen of Cups, High Priestess, a bit of the Hermit, the Moon (insert maniacal laughter here)... maybe even the Hanged Man with his search for different viewpoints

(I am naturally very resistant to change!) I love the death card for its reminder and reassurance that change is natural, inevitable, positive and the gateway to new life/rebirth. From the Mary-El. <3 TheMary-El is something else. Just started reading the accompanying book and it is blowing me away. So far, I've only read the Fool and the Magician (another of her cards that I love) and when I went back to look at those two cards, I just "got" them. Mary White brings all kinds of scholarship, culture, knowledge etc.into the explanation of each card, but I'm really grateful for that. For example, she writes of the Fool: " The Fool jumping off the mountain of the gods himself is a herald of the unfolding creation of the universe;" and of the Magician, "this is the Magician, a vision of your eternal self." <3 So, Cobweb (and everyone else and his or her respective archetype) which Hermit card were you thinking of specifically when you introduced yourself as the Hermit?
Whisper Posted March 2, 2018 Author Posted March 2, 2018 ...maybe even the Hanged Man with his search for different viewpoints Yes! That's great, TheFeeLion! So, do you have Majors from particular cards that come to mind when you think of yourself like that? I'm being difficult, but I would love to see if you all associate, also, with particular renditions of your Majors and what they look like. :D
TheFeeLion Posted March 2, 2018 Posted March 2, 2018 Hmm good question... I don’t really have any that come to mind although in saying that the True Black Queen, Moon, and Hermit definitely ring some bells :D omg I love that deck and cant wait til I get it in my hot little hands lol

Such a dichotomy between its simple elegance and its power. Have you pre-ordered it already? It's on my wishlist. The Ace of Cups... Just lovely.

Yeah I got in on the kickstarter and also got one of his prototypes (the Moon) :D so I’ve been getting to see all the new cards he’s been doing! Ooo just wait till you see the Devil card!! That one is definitely my favourite devil ever, so beautiful and deceptive and cunning and... oh crap I’m starting to go off on a lyric waxing tangent lol!

That deck was the first ever I had come across where I just understood the imagery, and when I didn’t his descriptions filled in those blanks for me perfectly!

This is the Fool from the Joie de Vivre.

Canid Posted March 2, 2018 Posted March 2, 2018 Oh, the Hermit. Or, the HP...or the Hermit...or...both?
Whisper Posted March 3, 2018 Author Posted March 3, 2018 Oh, the Hermit. Or, the HP...or the Hermit...or...both? Any particular Hermit. Canid? (HP?)
EmpyreanKnight Posted March 3, 2018 Posted March 3, 2018 My favorite is The Emperor but that's a tall order as of now. I'm neither that mature nor that wise. Currently, I relate best to the Strength card. Particularly those cards in the Renaissance or Archeon #swolegoals #mirin #pumped

Cobweb Posted March 3, 2018 Posted March 3, 2018 Favourite Hermit card at the moment...? I don't own the Dark Days tarot (but wish I did! ;D ). This links to its hermit card. https://www.darkdaystarot.com/single-post/2017/08/08/The-Hermit---Major-Arcana-Card-9 I'm really enjoying the excuse to browse through decks this morning. The Mary-el is now on my wish-list too. it's Hermit is pretty interesting too...
