if you could choose a tarot card to be your new best friend which one would you choose and why? for example, i would choose the high priestess because i know she could keep her mouth shut about my secrets. or if i wanted a friend who would give me hope during a difficult time, i would choose the star. of if i wanted a gentle nurturing female friend, i might choose the queen of cups. who would you choose and why?

1. High Priestess for her spiritual enlightenment... 2. Magician for his ability to make something out of anything 3. Queen of Swords for her emotional stability through thought and action (water of air) :smoker:

I like the Hermit because he is just like me, and there is no one else I'd rather spend time with...

The High Priestess, because I feel like I can learn a lot from her.

jema	25 Jul 2003
I always felt that the High Priestess is a bit distant - too wrapped up in her own inner world to really take notice of what is going on with others. I wanna be buddies with the woman in the Strength card. She seems like she is both fun and caring. Or maybe the World dancer. She got her act together and has found balance. And the three of cups!

Queen Wands ... really inspiring and always makes time for you out of her busy schedule :O)

Little Baron	25 Jul 2003
The Page of Cups from the Universal Waite. Think he could be a good soul mate. Yaboot

The empress would be a nice friend. Caring and creative, and she will love you no matter what. I think i would like that very much!

Cool, Truth, this is a very nifty thread idea! I choose the lion in the Strength card; it would be awesome to hang out with a lion... ;)

I choose 2 friends...both Knights... Knight of Wands and Knight of Swords! (Sacred Rose Tarot Deck) I forgot to say why...for fun and protection, in that order^^

Emily	25 Jul 2003
I think I would choose the High Priestess, I could learn alot from her, and the Empress because she's my favourite card and I keep getting her in nearly all of readings anyway lol

Hi all, I would have to chose the Hermit as a friend. I would love to go to his secluded residence and sit by his fire and learn all that he could teach me. I would want to walk by his side as he wandered the woods and have him share his wisdom with me. He would be my mentor, my guide, and my friend!

Woof	25 Jul 2003
Maybe the Empress if she would cook for me and baby sit on occasion. Maybe then my husband and I could go out. Woof

Diana	25 Jul 2003
The Bateleur for me. (Magician for most.) Never a dull moment with him. Laughs galore. Adventures too. And he could do all my computer stuff for me which I am so dumb about. And I'm sure he'd be fun in bed as well.

truthsayer	25 Jul 2003
just an odd thought but the card that most needs a friend is the hanged man. i'd cut him down from that tree and give him a counseling session on his martyr complex. the poor guy needs to develop some insight into his self-destructive behaviors! "hmmmm and just when did you start feeling like it was up to you to always sacrifice yourself for others?" "well, it was like this...you see my mom and my dad..." })

isthmus nekoi	25 Jul 2003
Hm. If I wanted a friend to bake cookies... Queen of Pents go shopping... Queen of Wands go out dancing... Page of Wands games like chess etc...any Swords court catch a movie, see a concert... Page of Swords flirt w/... Knight of Wands Hm, this is interesting, I don't want to hang out w/the cups lol!! More serious relationships, I think in the end, I'd take the Devil and the Star.

rota	25 Jul 2003
Those hot babes in the 3 of Cups look like a lot of fun, but I'd probably have to go with someone less party-minded. Maybe the Queen of Pentacles. I bet she can cook, too! :D

SingingTarot	25 Jul 2003
The Empress, we would talk about diapers and morning sickness. Alice

The Knight of Cups, 'cos sometimes a girl needs poetry, flowers, choccies and that romantic candlelit dinner. The Princess of Wands, to drag me out of my shell and take me out to have some fun. Party on! Jilly

That could mean something, since you get that card a lot. This is a very fun exercise that truthsayer came up with, but I have to wonder if there is an even deeper meaning to the cards we choose-- or do they choose us? (Nevermind Diana's fling with the Magician! :D ) Maybe there is greater meaning behind this game...or not...whatever... ;)

WolfSpirit	26 Jul 2003
For friendship I would go with the woman in the strength card - she loves animals, is not fussy, down-to-earth and looks like she knows how to have fun :)

divinerguy	26 Jul 2003
mmm, the Princess of Pentacles. Her common sense and practicality would be very helpful to me. I tend to be a dreamer, with some pretty good ideas. Regretfully, I'm disorganized and I spend money like a drunken sailor. I'm a good time, till the money runs out. My Princess would put me on an allowance and starighten my sorry a$$ out, so that wifey and I could actually think about saving some dinero. (Apologies to any drunken sailors who may be Aeclectians).

carrielynnsim	28 Jul 2003
Well, my first thought was the four of swords... I need rest, lol. Carrie

Marion	28 Jul 2003
Queen of Pentacles for my friend! And the nice lady in The Star, she looks like she has a few things figured out.

Artemis Sans	01 Aug 2003
It depends... if I had to choose an anthromorphic figure, I'd go w/ the Heirophant. Heated debates all night long!!! But, if I could have any card, I'd choose The Tower. Not only is it my favorite card (Thoth!), but life's no fun without a little adventure. Smiles! Artemis

LittleWing	01 Aug 2003
I would choose the Queen of Wands - passionate and exciting, or the Queen of Pentacles - so we could discuss health foods, yoga etc, and she is a practical soul like me.

M-Press	05 Aug 2003
i think I would choose - The Empress-we would go shopping together, and have a nice relaxed long lunch in a stylish tapas bar...(doing nothing...) - The World- I would meet her the same day, in the evening.... Now, when It comes to guys, I KNOW that the Knight of Swords, would just make me want him really badly... :-)
