Well last night I started reading Stockholm Octavo, and I only read the first few pages but I already like the idea of 'a book involving tarot'. Since i always loved writing that made my creative gears move and I had an idea for a book, now i'm gonna share it with you guys not just because I want opinions, but also because since i dont really have knowledge in tarot and tarot books (not that much at least) maybe someone else already did a book like that, and I don't wanna copy someone book or whatever. So now this is the idea (its still raw and i need to expand it):
The beggining is a pregnant woman, walking on the street and then approached by a gipsy old woman begging for money, she says something like "give me a dollar and i'll bless your son." and the woman says she doesnt have money to which the gipsy replies "Liers deserve hell, but your son will bear the pain of your mistake." and leaves laughing like a maniac. The woman being a bussiness woman and "smart" shruggs it off saying to herself something like "crazy old gipsy."..then the son is born, and his curse is to live the fools journey, but exactly the way it is. Meaning he randomly is 'teleported' to a kinda dream world where he has to face all the cards in the major arcana, also the witch watches him in her crystal globe and sends other challenges when she feel like doing that (like she decides which queen he falls in love with, who he has to fight, what affecs him) all by adding more cards to the boys "life spread". like the idea?xD i know kinda crazy and doesnt make sense, but who knows maybe some of you would like it xD
