Hijo de la Luna Does anyone know this song? Funny I hadn't thought of it before, but the words and Lyrics are here. This song capture perfectly The moon card, with its many aspects. On the one hand, illusion; the moon got what she wanted in the end, by trickery; and on the other hand the feminine aspect; she wanted a child, to mother it. Does anyone else have songs that remind them of cards?

I often assign classical music to cards. The Hermit is 'Sunrise' from Also Sprach Zarathustra. Mostly because when listening to this piece I can envision the Hermit's ascent to the mountain top where he finally looks down upon the crowds below him and raises his lanter to begin his teaching... The Magician is The Ride of the Valkyries by Wagner. I can see a 'Magician' creating a whole Universe from chaos when I listen to this piece... They're the two that pop to mind immediately. Kiama

This may just be me who hears this connection, but.... "Creep," by Radiohead. The Hermit's song.

"Sister Midnight" by Iggy Pop mentions the moon and the fool. The title of the album is "The Idiot", which reminds me of the fool.
