Lets face it the Fool's Journey of the majors is so imbedded in the world psyche that even shows like Hanna Montana can have a majors deck made of them. We all can find a tarot in LOST, Game of Thrones and Harry Potter but let's be honest that those decks are so highly expensive for any company to get the rights to do that there is very little chance of them happening. I have seen so many people comment on modern works of literature that should be decks but I have not been able to find a thread on classic works that would work so here is my question:
What classic works out there are complex enough to have all the experiences of a tarot deck within them? Not just a majors but works or collections of works (be they books,plays, poets,music,art...etc..etc ) that have all the minors in them as well. Most of us can pick out a Fool or a Wheel of Fortune card but does it contain a 6 of Swords moment or a 10 of Wands scene?
I'll be honest that this thread comes out of the fact that I'm currently doing some test art for a deck based on Richard Wagner's Ring Cycle of operas but it got me really thinking.
