the urnash tarot

The webpage looks great! But now I have to search for those court sketches... I love how you incorporated the Tree of Life into the layout and how with the the rest of the cards it makes an Ankh/Venus symbol.

Oh, and the camera is following the fox-mask-waitress on the 4 of Cups.

Very good!! Can't wait to get a set of these in my hands.

My LJ client lets me search old posts easily: court sketches, more,more (mostly superseded), initial stabs at a few, more.That's all the stuff with Courts sketches, in reverse chronological order.

And now back to work on the Chevalier of Pentacles.

So, I put a post on your journal with an idea of the 99 or Swords as a person lying comfortably on a "Bed of Swords" and I was struck with a few other random ideas, none as particularly compelling as the bed, but I thought I'd share... maybe they'll spur some ideas...


A processional arch-vault of drawn swords, such as at a wedding or fancy ball...

A jar of cocktail swords...

A Roman Legion...

a Cosmic Pin-cushion...

Pinhead the Cenobyte...

A heavily 'armed' Hindu-type deity...

nukes launching in WWIII...

Some crazily complex automated medical device operating on somebody (eh...probably better as an alternate 6 of swords...)

Cross-cut shredder...

(someone metioned a museum-type thing...)

And I'm reminded of the necklace of 999 fingers that Angulimala had when he met the Buddha....

Thanks, Voron - I'll put those in the pile and see what comes up once I start trying to figure out the last 99.

Chevalier of Pentacles

See my lj for some commentary on the credit card.

And I'm done with the small cards!

(not including the 99s and the 2-4 cards I want to redo.)

wow, you lost me on that one. In what way does that represent the energy of the High Priestess? Looks like a pair of exotic dancers.
