hi again! so, some of you may have seen the quizzes i made over on quizilla (if anyone wants the link, i can find it for ya)...and i've decided to throw myself into the task of making a "what tarot card are you?" quiz... i'm only going to use the major arcana (b/c making 78 results would really wear me out...22 is MORE than daunting enough...heh) and wanted to ask for some suggestions...feel free to offer some on any of the following points of concern: 1. should i use the standard RWS images? or mix up the decks/cards?? (i don't think this infringes on copyright since i'm not claiming the images to be mine, but if anyone knows for sure, please let me know) 2. what sorts of questions should i ask, with what sorts of responses? meaning, should i stick to personality type questions or just be crazy?? 3. for the final results, should i give LWB kinda results, or should i really get into it?? i can't have 22 responses to each question so it's probably gonna have more questions than the average quizilla quiz...i dunno...i'm already thinking i'm nuts for trying it...but i think it would be fun... quizilla is lots of fun, but making the quiz is time consuming (you actually have to enter in each response to each question separately...update...another response...update...add a question...update...add response to that question...update...you get the idea) once i have it up, i'll post back to the "games" section so everyone can enjoy...meantime, if anyone has any suggestions for me (even specific questions would be of help!! lol) i'd appreciate it! :D many blessings, ~azure

To keep things simplilar for you, I would just go with the RWS cards personally. Perhaps questions like, if you had a choice between the following, which one would you choose to do on a saturday night when you can sleep in the following morning? a. A party that a friend invited you to (devil, the Tower, the fool) b. Go relax by the ocean and listen to the waves (temperance, moon, star, the hermit) c. Get a good work out at the gym (Strength) d. Cozy up on the couch with a good book now that you finally have a moment to yourself (hermit, strength, star, high priestess) E. Get some things around the house finally organized/done. (Justice, The Emperor, The world) ~*~ this is all just a suggestion, plug in what you think would be the best cards related to the answers, just thought I'd help ya out with a few ideas ~*~ I would also just go crazy too. How about, if you could meet one of these people who would it be? A. Marilyn Monroe (The empress, The high priestess, The moon) B. Elvis Presely (The Emperor, The hanged man) C. Edgar Allan Poe (The devil, The lovers, The hermit) D. John F. Kennedy (The Hieorphant, The emperor, The star, judgement) E. Albert Einstein (The hieorphant, The tower, the hanged man, the hermit, The magician) How about True or False, like Elvis is dead (the death card for true, The star for false or something like that?) ~*~ not sure on how easy or difficult this all is, it sounds pretty complex and all, but anyways, here's a few ideas to get your creative juices a flowin ~*~ Let us know when you're done, I DEFINITELY want to take this test!

thanks, sagitarian!! :D and yeah, it is a bit complex...hence the fact that i'm asking for suggestions! :) it's very very tedious to plunk all the info in, *but* also hard to come up w/the info to begin with... thanks again, you've sparked some great ideas! many blessings, ~azure

Sounds like a lot of fun. I don't really have any concrete suggestions, but there is a "What court card are you?" quiz on Lotus Tarot (www.lotustarot.com). I don't know if that might help you formulate questions. Please do let us test drive your quiz when you do it. :) Kes
