I was thinking about doing a redneck tarot deck (came from the crown royal bag thread)...I dont want to do it by myself..I was thinking when the aeclectic tarot project is over maybe you all would be interested in making a redneck tarot... I hope nobody is offended by this..I am considered a redneck and PROUD of it...Sadly some of the stereotypes are true... This got going when I was thinking of a Tornado for the tower in making my own personal deck..Then I thought it redneck style... The tower: A tornado that is going thru a trailer with maybe a cow and a person in the tornado? The hermit: I was born in WV we used to see mountain men comeing out of the moutains to get there whiskey if they werent making it themselves and other supplies maybe once a month...So I picture this moutain man with bushy hair at the bottom of the mountain with leaves and twigs all over him.. Let me know what you think of this as a group project..

Would this be a regional redneck thing? I'm from the CO plains originally, and our idea of 'redneck' is a little bit different, but there are a few ideas floating around in my mind.

purplelady	06 Apr 2002
Hey , I really Love those redneck calenders! 'Ya know , the daily page calender and every page begins "You might be a redneck if................". I didn't get one this year though.

truthsayer	06 Apr 2002
what about "your presence is required at the local grocery store in the event of a snow flake. no purchase required. you just have to be there in case..." for maybe one of the pentacles. 10 of pentacles--"every loaf of bread and jug of milk in town disappears in case of 10% chance of any fowl weather event". a sword card could be "send children home from school early if winds pick up more than 20 mph or if a snow flake falls". i'm not kidding! that's the way it is here! the hanged man could be something like surfboarding during a hurricane while looking for tidal surges. again, this does happen. i suppose there are survivors. ;)

Im more a hick than and redneck, but howabout 2 people (probably rather ugly,no offense) going at it in the back of the pickup for the Lovers lol. A man trying desperately to get into a liquor store on Sunday for the fool. Tailgate party for the Chariot,or maybe thats for the 7 of wands (is 7 right? the victory one) hehe

RedWood	06 Apr 2002
I dont think it has to be regional...It can be whatever you think..there are 78 cards so I am sure we can get quite a few different views of rednecks... I LOVE all the ideas.. So how do we go about doing this...I dont know what you did for the aeclectic tarot project..I will have to go check out that thread..

*gigglesnort* I see... a soapbox preacher for the Magician... a tire swing for the Wheel of Fortune... possibly the Hatfields and McCoys for the moon? Maybe, for the suits, shotguns instead of swords and shine jugs instead of cups?

Zhritza	07 Apr 2002
I think this is a great idea, although where I live the term "redneck" has more to do with politics than with lifestyle/finances, which throws more sh*t in to the fan. The jug idea is perfect. For the Eight of Cups... uh... Is there a way to visually portray a family burning down their property to get the insurance money?

Kiama	07 Apr 2002
*Sigh* Wish I knew what a red-neck was! This is the problem with living in the UK: Its a bit sparse on Rednecks. Kiama

lunar_rabbit	07 Apr 2002
What a fun idea! The first thing I thought of was jugs for cups. I'll have to give it more thought as I go about my day today. Still chuckling at the idea!

Dont know exactly how you would use these things, but here are a few more redneck icons that come to mind: blood hound (maybe the fool's dog) washing machine and/or sofa or falling apart Lazyboy on the front porch old tires used as planters or cut in half to be used as decorative lawn edging. (or could be used for the world) rusted out car up on cinder blocks surrounded by tall grass "trained" deer (or ducks) cats or butterflies climbing the walls silhouettes of fatladies bending over in the garden christmas decorations cluttering the yard in June A family tree that doesnt fork squirrel or possum in the stew pot confederate flag hanging in the back window of a pickup truck shot guns (Swords?) dousing rod or fishing pole (for Wands?) baaaad teeth or no teeth rope belts out house no shoes dirty babies in droopy diapers carrying a bottle full of Pepsi Quart size Budweiser Death or the devil could be a clan member fiddle washboard whittling MoonPies (Pentacles!) Nascar I could really get in to this. Of course all of these are mentioned in a spirit of love. After all, I am from the south, have a double name, and there are a few very bare branches in my family tree! My favorite Jeff Foxworthy redneck joke: you might be a redneck if youve ever had your nipple bitten off by a beaver. or if you think the last for words of the national anthem are "Gentlemen, start your engines!" For those of you who in the UK, Hyacinth's family in "Keeping up appearances" are all rednecks.

RedWood	07 Apr 2002
I was thinking for The Moon an outhouse because almost all outhouses have the moon symbols on them... I love all the ideas specially the shine jugs for the cups... I wasnt here for the aeclectic tarot project beginning I only joined about a week ago....I was wondering if someone could please let me know how you went about doing that project... Kiama and others who dont know what a redneck is.. Go to www.JeffFoxworthy.com...He is one of the most famous rednecks in the U.S. maybe that will help you understand what a redneck is...

Quote: For the Eight of Cups... uh... Is there a way to visually portray a family burning down their property to get the insurance money? How about a family outside of a burning trailer holding torches and roasting marshmallows? Of course, they would have taken all the furniture out and set it in the yard first. (Don't laugh, I've seen it done.) SE... Good call on the moon pies! And the hounds... maybe one on each side of the moon card, bawling treed? *blinks... realizes that right there marks a redneck... goes to hide*

lunalafey	07 Apr 2002
Look what has snowballed from a simple signature!!! I like the idea Cups jugs ok for shields, coins, penticals.... HUBCAPS...or BELT BUCKLES swords could be a big buck knife. like what is worn on the hip. This is just too comical I love it. By the way, those wanting bags, check the crown royal bag posts......luna

Rhiannon	07 Apr 2002
Kiama and Diana: in case the Jeff Foxworthy thing doesn't do it for you... try looking up Jerry Springer or the reality TV show Cops. Actually, if you watch Jerry Springer, you'll probably see the same people next week on Cops. Another good example would be the movie "Drop Dead Gorgeous" with Denise Richards... hysterical! LOL Rhiannon :)

Umbrae	07 Apr 2002
The Magician: Take your pick of any southern ‘Fahr n’ Brimstone’ preacher. High priestess: A young woman guards the gates to a run-down trailer park. The Empress: Bare-foot and pregnant. The Emperor: Shotgun in one hand, shine jug in another. The Hierophant: A shirtless man in overalls standing before the still. The Lovers: A young man eyes a beautiful woman, and a farm animal. The Chariot: A run down 1966 dodge on blocks. Strength: An androgynous individual holding a lions jaw shut. A confederate flag drapes off his/her shoulder.

Liliana	07 Apr 2002
The Moon has to be a fat, hairy guy sittingat a bar stool with his entire rearend hanging out! I was going to say someone mooning on purpose, with the cheeks pressed against the window but I like the barstool better :)

Pedeka	07 Apr 2002
8 of pentacles... a guy working on taxidermy instead of a cobblers type bench? 5 of wands .. a cock fight? 9 of pentacles... someone showing of the brand new double wide thay they bought with money from the divorce settlement? 9 of cups.. a person with a handful of winning scratch off tickets? And the chariot would have to be a NASCAR! Can you tell Ive thought about this before? The Emperor... a guy on a sofa on the lawn with his feet in a kiddy pool watching a TV with a coat hanger antenna that has an extention cord running to the house, of course he's got a can of beer in one hand and a clicker remote in the other. 9 of wands.. a bow hunter leaning on his bow with a full quiver behind him. I've got tons of ideas! Pedeka

RedWood	07 Apr 2002
So well seem to want to...I just need to know how to get going..>What did you do for the aeclectic tarot deck? I was thinking it would probably be best that we all come up with what we want for the 78 cards first..Then move on from there?

Geenius at Wrok	07 Apr 2002
OK, I'm actually going to try to take this idea about as seriously as it can be taken: Fool – ? Magician – dowser High Priestess – back-porch psychic Empress – wife of the Emperor (see below), with very tall hair and conspicuous makeup Emperor – a local businessman, like a salesman or a real estate developer Hierophant – Pentecostal preacher, maybe a snake handler? Lovers – two teenagers (do you dare depict the girl as pregnant?) Chariot – choose one: pickup, Harley, monster truck Strength – dog trainer with Rottweiler Hermit – Bigfoot! :) (So much for serious.) Wheel of Fortune – slot machine Justice – guy with shotgun standing by "no trespassing" sign Hanged Man – I'd go with a lynching, though I think that would be way too incendiary for most people . . . Death – mounted bear head Temperance – ? Devil – conspicuously urban person Tower – I think the tornado-trailer idea is great. Star, Moon, Sun – ? Judgment – street preacher World – ? Suits – shotguns, hubcaps, beer bottles, fishing rods

RedWood	07 Apr 2002
Quote: Originally posted by Geenius at Wrok Justice – guy with shotgun standing by "no trespassing" sign Sorry If i did the quote wrong... Or maybe guy with shotgun for the "shotgun wedding"?

Pedeka	07 Apr 2002
Im all for it! My fiancee is practically one of the Clampetts. Ill consider it life practice! One thing I have noticed about rednecks...fun includes something getting destroyed, be it property or small animals. As for the Tower... Ive got a photo of an Evangelical church that my fiancees father bought cause the revivals got louder than his TV. he turned it into a bar/pool hall that got shut down when the county sherrif broke up an after hours poker game that got most of the city council and the mayor arrested. Now THERES some Tower symoblism for you.LOL Love the tire idea for the world. GAW Hierophant and WoF are very good! Id like to see the Empress as pregnant though. I love the earlier moon as outhouse...it certainly embodies the danger of the unknown! And I see the ulimate Judgement as a Church PotLuck.. the pastors wife inspecting everyones dishes and judging them as worthy. Just my 2 cents Pedeka

Pedeka	07 Apr 2002
One more quick idea... the Fool... Andy and Opie Taylor heading to the fishing hole

slinky_jo	07 Apr 2002
An Antipodean twist to the red neck tarot (here in New Zealand, we call them "Westies" or "Bogans" - think black woollen jumpers, beer in hand, lots of marijuana, tattoos, farmers in black singlets, loud All Blacks fans, mongrel dogs, shitty 70's cars, etc...): FOOL: young kid playing with his dog on the railway tracks. MAGICIAN: marijuana grower in his "shed". CHARIOT: rusty old Holden Kingswood. STRENGTH: westie chick getting freaked out by a WETA - for pics, check out http://www.virtualtourist.com/m/.78074/article/108/121/?s=c HERMIT: teenage boy in his room, earnestly playing his guitar, headphones on. WHEEL FORTUNE: wind turbine in the field. HANGED MAN: a sheep being shawn (sp?). DEATH: an old farmer taking his old dog out to be shot. :( TEMPERANCE: a home-brew-er tasting his varieties (like alchemy?). DEVIL: doobies and beer being passed around a group of bogan teenagers at a westie party. STAR: skinny dipping at night. SUN: drunk bogan parents laughing at their kids tomenting and riding a yappy dog in the sun. JUDGMENT: a possum eating 10.80 poison. WORLD: a washing line (those squarish ones that spin in the breeze) full of clean black woollen jumpers and black singlets (vests). Pentacles - All Black rugby ball. Swords - knives on the element, warming up for a spotting(drug) session, or a metal hash pipe with smoke coming out (air). Cups - 1L bottle of Lion Red beer. Wands - lighter (fire), or Holiday cigarettes.

Zhritza	08 Apr 2002
I hereby cast my vote for Hubcaps as Coins/Pentacles. Non-U.S. people, by all means do go to Foxworthy's site for detailed information; but I'll mention briefly that the word "redneck" comes from people having sunburned necks. So that's your big clue: the original "rednecks" were white people who worked in the fields.

Kiama	08 Apr 2002
*Kiama is confused* Oh.... Too many words that I don't understand.... Bogan? Westie? Spotting sesh? And who on Earth are the Clampetts???? Kiama :confused:

Major Tom	08 Apr 2002
Quote: Originally posted by Qolus Is there a way to visually portray a family burning down their property to get the insurance money? Sounds like The Tower to me. }) I'm positive 'redneck' is an American phenomena. So's 'coon ass'. :D

lunalafey	08 Apr 2002
what about spittoons ?

kayne	08 Apr 2002
Don't worry Kiama - I thought I knew what a red neck was... I am totally confused too :p As for "coon ass" MT, that would be considered an incredably offensive racist term in Australia... or is that the point? I know about Bogans Slinky-jo... They are a well and truly established breed here in Australia! (The Land of Beer) LOL

Pedeka	08 Apr 2002
The Clampetts are the family from the old Tv show The Beverly Hillbillies. Andy and Opie Taylor are from The Andy Griffith Show. Can the King of Swords be General Lee? The Queen of Rods maybe a sharecroppers wife out in a field with a hoe. King of Pentacles maybe a man who just found a silver dollar with his metal dector? Pedeka

Malachite	08 Apr 2002
Now..Westies i understand!.. (mentally translated as rural welsh/cornish truckers...) didn't expect the weed, tho....

Malachite	08 Apr 2002
Pedeka... What about beer-bottle caps?...

Butterfly	08 Apr 2002
Kayne, I definitely think redneck has a different meaning in Australia. I think, but I'm not sure that it's more a socio-economic thing in US- is that right? While in Aus- redneck is really common term but is more an attitude thing- backward thinking, rascist, homophobic caveman like thinking. Definitely not a complementary term in Australia. And you are really right about coon-ass. But a coon is a completely different thing in Australia, I think. Aah, so those bad years of American sitcoms have taught me something.

truthsayer	08 Apr 2002
i vote for temperance being the neighborhood beautician. she has to mix all those chemicals together for hair dyes and perms in hopes of making some desperate women bee-yoo-ti-full for their significant other. i have to vote for the guy sitting on the bar stool as being the moon. i see that a lot more moons on amongst bar stool red necks these days than old outdoor toilets. as far as mystery goes, that guy's moon is one i'm not checking out further and it SHALL remain a mystery. most of these guys like hanging out w/ their old dogs so that fills the dog image that's usually on the moon. LOL :p i like the lovers as a shot gun wedding w/ maw and and paw there(carrying the required shotgun) with the preacherman. the groom has to look totally terrified and probably inebriated. the bride--barefoot with a short little white dress on, a big belly, and a handful of wild flowers. most rednecks around here love deerhunting so to me death would be a bunch of guys going hunting showing the moon w/ beer guts hanging out of their white t-shirts and camouflage pants and a camel cigarette hanging out of their mouth. the guys always sit in their pick-up trucks w/ their rifles and wait for the deer hounds to run the deer up so they can kill it. the hanged man could be a hung over mom hanging out clothes and accidentally pinning baby upside down in his sleeper on the line. butterfly, your understanding of what a redneck is in australia is pretty much what i understand them to be here. definitely backward thinking and homophobic. i'll try to remember to email you a joke about redneck logic. heck, maybe i could post it here and help others understand what we're talking about. i see the high priestess as the head gossip in town that anyone that wants to know anything about anyone goes to for information. meetings are usually held after church or at the beauty parlor or card games or phone hot line to pass on the hottest new mysteries solved. then there's always the gossip fence for neighbors. another idea for death is dale earnhart riding his race car into the sunset w/ death riding w/ him. he's a famous nascar racing driver who tragically died in a race b/c his safety belt snapped.

Another option for pentacles could be a tin of chewing tobacco!

Wow - now I am really getting the picture of what a Red Neck might be... don't think I would really 'fit in' well in a croud (what IS the collective noun for them???) of Red Necks...

RIGHT F*KIN ON! i think this has got to be the kewlest ideer in a long time. shit, i know a few others besides me who'd want a copy of the deck once it's done. hahahaha i've read thru the posts and so far i love the ideas everyone is throwing. the suites are great. and the fool with a bloodhound on it's classic. hmmm... the majician should be some underachiever docuter, some hack... maybe like a doc with a chainsaw! or something of the like. i dunno... but yeah, i'm totally there for ya if you need help. hehehe love this idea!!!! blessed be, .dc

RedWood	09 Apr 2002
I was thinking that we should really get started on what each suit should be soon...So I was thinking that everyone send me there choices for the 78 cards (as many as you think of) To my email which is Taintedapathy@aol.com...I will tally the ones that everyone seems to agree on down to 5 or (more if need be) of each card...then I will post it here..Then you send me another email of your votes for what they should be..Then I can let you know when everybody has it in...I was thinking maybe you could have until April 18th to send in your favorites...You can put more then one down for a card if you are undecided.. (I am choosing my email because that way it wont clog up the board and easier for me to keep straight) If anyone has any concerns about doing it this way let me know..If you think we need more time to decide we can set it for a later date..Feel free to reach me through here, Instant Message, private message, email... Once again: Taintedapathy@aol.com

But rednecks? Wow, come to think of it, maybe they are!... It never occurred to me that we could have real live rednecks this far north!

Redneck Birth Control After having their 11th child, an Alabama couple decided that that was enough since they could not afford a larger bed. So the husband went to his doctor/veterinarian and told him that he and his wife/cousin didn't want to have any more children. The doctor told him that there was a procedure called a vasectomy that could fix the problem but it was expensive. A less costly alternative, said the doctor, was to go home, get a cherry bomb (fireworks are legal in Alabama), light it, put it in an empty beer can, then hold the can up to his ear and count to 10. The Alabamian said to the doctor, "I may not be the smartest man in the world, but I don't see how putting a cherry bomb in a beer can next to my ear is going to help me." So he wanted a second opinion and he visited a doctor in Georgia. That doctor began to speak of a vasectomy, but seeing his patient was from Alabama, he told him to go home, get a cherry bomb, light it, put it in an empty beer can, then hold the can up to his ear and count to 10. Since the second doctor told him to do exactly the same thing as the first doctor, the Alabamian figured the procedure MUST work. So the man went home, lit a cherry bomb and put it in a beer can. He held the can up to his ear and began to count:"1, 2, 3, 4, 5," at which point he paused, placed the beer can between his legs and resumed counting on his other hand. This procedure also works in Tennessee, Mississippi, Texas, Kentucky, West Virginia, and Arkansas.

[/b] rednecks are a world wide phenomenon. they occur among northerners as well as sountherners. no place on earth is immune. it's just a slanderous term for blue collar workers b/c they have to get out in the sun to work and their necks get burned. for example, construction workers or farmers or truck drivers or factory workers. they generally have only a high school education but often less. they're usually kind of rough ppl that like to spend their weekends drinking beer and watching sports. they have a reputation for domestic violence even tho this phenomenon is not limited to any class. they also tend to be pentacostal holiness christians--real fire and brimstoners. one post suggested that red necks were getting mixed up w/ poor white trash--yeah, i think so, too. however, the 2 seem similiar in so many ways it's hard to discern the difference. often it seems that ppl who do manual labor have certain ideas that seem kind of backward to the rest of the world. but you gotta love them. w/o them we wouldn't have highways or buildings or food deliveries, etc. afterall, we all can't work in an air conditioned office! i know some of them made lots more money than i did w/ a college education and they didn't even finish high school. so God bless them! yyyeeeeee haaaaaaaaa!

For example, no one thinks of a bookseller (me) as a redneck; but construction workers make exponentially more money than I do (rightfully so), and they are far less likely to eat "redneck" (cheap) food or buy "redneck" clothes than I am. I think the definition varies regionally. For example, for me and someone here from Australia, it's about mindset more than anything else.

The term "redneck" may have originated in Scotland. Many Ulster-Scottish people settled in the Appalachians. Supporters of King William were known as "Orangemen" and "Billy Boys", and their North American counterparts were soon referred to as "hill-billies". Also, the Covenanters of 1638 and 1641 signed documents that stated that Scotland desired the Presbyterian form of church government, and would not accept the Church of England as its official state church. Many Covenanters signed their own blood and wore red pieces of cloth around their necks...hence the term "Red neck". www.electricscotland.com/history/world/scottish_hillbillies.htm

From deep in outlaw county (also known as the Ozarks), DeLani P.S. - all them Queens gotta be real fat. And surrounded by babies. Like they say, the only thing that grows here good is rocks & fat women. I say wands orta be cigarettes or firecrackers. (rednecks like to blow sh!t up a lot). Pentacles orta be money, or dollars. Jugs definitely fer cups. And huntin' rifles fer swords - or maybe "Arkansas toothpicks" (Bowie knives).

A redneck tarot could have... Magician - card shark Hierophant - Rush Limbaugh Chariot- truck driver Wheel of Fortune - keno tumbler (Cherub = keno girl, Eagle = number caller, Lion = pit boss, Bull = security guard) World = WalMart (Wally World !) ...and the Star - KMart blue-light special
