tarot for the cyclist

[Trek420]

Dogmama "If your total equals a double digit, do not reduce it further but go to that major arcana card."

I think my total = 11 so does that mean I'm a 1, or do I add the two or "hit me" oh, this is not blackjack.

[Kitsune06]

then you're 11. Justice.
Amicable and favourable resolution of conflicts. Triumph over bigotry and prejudice. 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. Clarity. Fairness. Arbitration. A straightforward choice. Judgement.

And I'm a 12.

Anybody want to take that on? Thanks!

[Kitsune06]

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.

My first reaction was, YIKES. And then, OH SH&*. But then I realized two things. My birthday is next month (will I then be a 13?) and that does pretty much describe my past year. So maybe I'm finally moving forward...?

13 is Death, right? Rebirth? Or have I forgotten?

13 is forgetfulness

13 is Death/Rebirth. Letting go of old behaviors, like a snake shedding its skin. Maybe letting go of relationships that are not good for you any longer or breaking a pattern that is unhealthy.

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.

[Xrayted]

hey, I'm a 5 - I think. What's that?

[KnottedYet]

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.

How Zen!

Isn't it interesting how some just keep coming up?

Xrayted, 5 is the Heirophant.
Ritual and routine, religious guidance and authority, education in its formal sense. A seeker after knowledge and wisdom. Good sound advice, teaching and constructive counsel. Marriage, partnerships and morality. The definitions I have are out of the book. LBTC gives much better, more concise ones, I think.

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.

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.

[Geonz]

13?

[LBTC]

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)

[Kitsune06]

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...
