I just spotted references to this idea from the "Firelite Fortune Teller" post in at least FIVE other posts, so I thought it finally deserved a space of its own! First, I must give credit to tarotbear for starting the post that went off on this tangent which now seems to be taking over the forum. Second, I must give even more credit to Rhiannon for coming up with the idea. Third, while my nickname may suggest otherwise, I am not an Elvis fanatic. (its just a nickname given me by a friend's 12-year old brother ;) ) Anyway, I thought the Elvis Deck idea had a lot of potential. What do you think should be on the various cards? My bid for the Devil is Colonel Tom Parker, Elvis' manager. tarotbear, I also want to say that I agree with the correction you made to my black-velvet-on-the-backs-of-the-cards idea. Blue suede IS a much better choice! ;P Peace, Melvis

Ah, the infamous Blue Suede Elvis Tarot Deck. Officially endorsed by the Holy Church of Elvis and blessed by the High Priestess thereof! (she is a hunka hunka burnin' love, baby!) As I've said before: my suggestions are Priscilla as the Empress and Michael Jackson & Lisa as the Lovers. OH Mama! I'm dancing to the jail house rock... Rhiannon :P

How about Ed Sullivan as the Hierophant?

Landlady ring my front door bell, I let it ring for a long long spell, Went to the window, peeped through the blind, Said, "Pray tell me, what's on your mind." She said: "Money, honey. If you wanna get along with me . . ." Well, I screamed and I hollered, I was so hard pressed, Tried to call the lady that I loved best, Finally got my baby 'bout half past three, She said: "I'd like to know what you want with me?" I said, "Money, honey . . ." Sorry, But the landlady outta be in that deck somewhere . . . Talisman

I think there should be at least one card for Tom Jones , because I used to listen to both him and Elvis when I was about 10 yrs old! ;) ;P ;P .
