Hi folks ... a new game! Here are some correspondences to get things going (based on lyrics): (I went over the lyrics, recalling the mood of the song as well, and jotted down the tarot card that came to mind.) Her Majesty: Priestess Because: World The Night Before: 9 of Swords Strawberry Fields: 7 of Cups Helter Skelter: 5 of Pentacles Hey Jude: 3 of Swords Taxman: 4 of Pentacles I've Just Seen a Face: Knight or Page of Cups When I'm Sixty-Four: 10 of Pentacles Carry That Weight: 10 of Wands Octupus's Garden: 3 of Cups (Note: Above pip cards based on RWS meanings or card images) For a list of Beatles songs, check out: http://www.stevesbeatles.com/songs/ Once you're at that site, you can access the lyrics of a given song by clicking on the title of the song.

"Within You Without You" -- High Priestess "Why Don't We Do It In the Road?" -- The Devil "The Long and Winding Road" -- The World "The Art of Dying" -- Death ( ...okay, so it's not specifically a Beatle tune. Close enuf in my book. :) )
