Hey Pooks, I'll be the Witch on duty tonight. ;)
The 12th card is the Hanged Man.
Devotion to a worthwhile cause. Temporary suspension of progress. Flexibility of mind and a willingness to adapt to changes. Sacrifice in the present to reap benefit in the future. A waiting period. Rebirth. Sacrificing one thing to obtain another. Transformation. Circumstances literally turned on their head.
12 - The Hanged Man
control by letting go
win by surrendering
move forward by standing still
When we want most to act, that is when we should wait.
hey, I'm a 5 - I think. What's that?
hanged man is one of my favorite cards. Dunno why, it just is.
In the past few days I've pulled "The World" a gajillion times.
Kitsune06 "then you're 11. Justice. Amicable and favourable resolution of conflicts. Triumph over bigotry and prejudice."
ok, good so far
"Legal action. Litigation. Contracts. Settlement. Divorce. Sometimes marriage depending upon the other cards and normally only when marriage contracts, legal or financial documents are a necessary part of the intended union."
uhm, sounding like someone who demands a prenup?
"Clarity. Fairness. Arbitration. A straightforward choice. Judgement."
Sounds like I'm running for election for Judge, I prefer chocolate and I'm outa Dove.
13?
How Zen!Quote:

Geonz- 13- Death.
The beginning of a new life. As a result of underlying circumstances transformation and change. Major changes. The end of a phase in life which has served its purpose. Abrupt and complete change of circumstances, way of life and patterns of behaviour due to past events and actions. Alterations.
Xrayted - 5: The Hierophant
represents official learning, especially in groups like religions, schools, clubs, teams, companies and societies.
structured with ruls and assigned roles
emphasis on belief systems - facts, rules, procedures and rituals
learning with experts or knowledgeable teachers
Geonz - 13: Death
not a permanent state, but a transition into a new state
to grow, to move, to live, we must die to the old to give birth to the new
Each moment we die to the present to the future can unfold.
death suggests getting down to basics, to cut out the unnecessary
ride your fate and see where it takes you

You artist types need to design a Bicycle Tarot.
The Fool: instead of a dude about to step off a cliff, you could have a rider without a helmet
The Lovers: an MTB and a road bike
The World: an open bike trail
The Devil: flatted tire
Major arcana would be fun, but I can't quite figure out how you'd include bikes in the minor arcana. Except as background pictures. (hee hee, 4 of Swords could have a bike hanging from a repair stand with it's wheels off)
The Hanged Man would be someone trackstanding... Interesting. It'd take 78 separate illustrations... a lot of work. I'd be totally into it, though... :D
KnottedYet "The Lovers: an MTB and a road bike"
not a tandem?
the lovers card represents two diverging paths and often the choice between them. I suppose for a tandem, there would be the choice between front and back, but the mtb and roadie are much more different...
...is that the idea?
Well, the Lovers is about cross-roads and choices and opposites, too. A tandem would be good for 2 of Cups (connection, joining, sharing)Quote:

c inf - Queen of Wands (radiantly healthy and fit, attractive, energetic doer....but she is reversed which may mean her energy is blocked. Yes, by the gallbladder that needs to be removed, and this inactivity certainly blocks the feeling that I am an attractive and vital person.....however, I continue to try to focus on that element of myself, so I will use my decisions and thought processes to change the orientation of this card and its influence.)
sc inf - Three of Wands (vision of the future, move fearlessly forward...but he is also reversed. Does this indicate that I am fearfull of moving forward? Or does this mean I need to be patient in moving forward, take my time and assess things greater before following my dreams? I have several possibilities with my photos for allowing this passion of mine to contribute to my physical income. I am pursuing these, but I am not rushing blindly forward, and, yes, they scare me for reasons I just can't put my finger on....)
All comments are welcome on your own interpretation....
Thank you for leading me back to the cards again. I am thinking deeper about my direction than I have in a long time.
Hugs and butterflies,
