Agathe	14 Dec 2003
This is going to be soooo easy but I thought I would post it anyway ;o) "One day, nosing and wandering about, Bilbo discovered a very interesting thing: the great gates were not the only entrance to the caves." From....The Hobbit by (everyone knows who) J.R.R. Tolkien

Mystic Zyl	14 Dec 2003
Fool

ros	14 Dec 2003
I agree ... Fool

Diana	15 Dec 2003
Papess (High Priestess).

Lady Mary	15 Dec 2003
Hermit?

Agathe	15 Dec 2003
No, I'm sorry :o(...none of the above.

Lady Mary	15 Dec 2003
The Sun - for being enlightened?

Agathe	15 Dec 2003
No, sorry. But keep trying :o)

gloria	15 Dec 2003
The Hanged Man?

Agathe	15 Dec 2003
No, it's not the Hanged Man...sorry!

Mystic Zyl	15 Dec 2003
Moon

Agathe	15 Dec 2003
It's not the Moon, Mystic. Don't be discouraged though.

Mystic Zyl	15 Dec 2003
Okay holding back the tears...... 4 of Wands

Agathe	15 Dec 2003
It's not 4 of Wands. Keep trying!

Mystic Zyl	15 Dec 2003
Ace of Pentacles

gloria	15 Dec 2003
2/Discs?

Agathe	15 Dec 2003
GUYS.....NO! It's neither Ace of Penacles nor 2 of Pentacles. I'll keep checking your guesses and keep my fingers crossed.

gloria	15 Dec 2003
Agathe I thought you said this was gonna be soooooo easy??? There is a cave entrance in the Death card.

Mystic Zyl	15 Dec 2003
Easy? The tower?

Agathe	15 Dec 2003
I swear, I thought it would be easy. Ok, try to look at the situation as a whole. Don't pick single words. I was thinking more about the meaning than about cards' representations. I know you can do it guys...I have faith in you. Blessings, Agathe

Mystic Zyl	15 Dec 2003
9 of Cups

Agathe	15 Dec 2003
Hmmm, no :o(. Maybe I see this card differently than you guys. It's more about what Bilbo discovered and not how he looked for it. Hmmm, I bet you'll think it doesn't help AT ALL.

gloria	15 Dec 2003
What about Page/Cups...learning something new?

Agathe	15 Dec 2003
No, it's not a page of Cups

Mystic Zyl	15 Dec 2003
page of wands

Agathe	15 Dec 2003
no... Oh my God, I guess it's not sooooo easy. Ok, I'll tell you that gloria was once quite close :oD. So Bilbo discovered something and what now...?

Mystic Zyl	15 Dec 2003
3 of Cups...lets celebrate! Well Gloria is the smart one of the bunch.

Agathe	15 Dec 2003
That's good but no. You made me laugh out loud Mystic...it was sooo cute. Thanks!!!

Mystic Zyl	15 Dec 2003
Knight of swords ...spreading the good news and rushing right in

Agathe	15 Dec 2003
no....not yet, though it's geting sort of warmer.

gloria	15 Dec 2003
Judgement...rejoicing? No, I didn't think so.

Mystic Zyl	15 Dec 2003
He is going to have justice?

Agathe	15 Dec 2003
it's neither judgement nor justice. I'll tell you something. Bilbo is not happy, or if he is we don't care as it's not important here. What's important is that there is another entrance to the gates. I hope that helps a bit.

MattDouglas	15 Dec 2003
How 'bout the 7 of Swords. Bilbo is awfully sneaky.

rexenne2003	15 Dec 2003
4 of Wands?

gloria	15 Dec 2003
Lovers? choice?

Agathe	15 Dec 2003
Ahhhh, gloria...you're sooooo close!!!

gloria	15 Dec 2003
Chariot?

MattDouglas	15 Dec 2003
The Star. Hope for getting the gold without having to face Smaug directly.

Agathe	15 Dec 2003
No and no!

gloria	15 Dec 2003
2/Wands?

MattDouglas	15 Dec 2003
Strength. Brain trumps brawn.

Mystic Zyl	15 Dec 2003
magician, making things happen

Agathe	15 Dec 2003
No...no...&no! Guys, come on! I KNOW you know. I'm not going to say it's easy anymore but gloria was soooo close when she said ...Lovers - choice.

rexenne2003	15 Dec 2003
OH OH OH! The Seeker (Hermit)?

MattDouglas	15 Dec 2003
Wheel of Fortune. Luck found another way in.

Mystic Zyl	15 Dec 2003
Ace of cups

Agathe	15 Dec 2003
No, no, no

Mystic Zyl	15 Dec 2003
7 of cups

MattDouglas	15 Dec 2003
The Sun. Its rays helped the secret entrance be seen.

Mystic Zyl	15 Dec 2003
Oh please say 7 of cups! So many options and choices! I think it may have helped if I knew the story....is it on tape?

Agathe	15 Dec 2003
Sorry, it's not. Bilbo doesn't have so many choices.

MattDouglas	15 Dec 2003
The Devil. he can now choose to sneak in rather than make the honest choice of walking right in.

Agathe	15 Dec 2003
Matt...it's not that complicated...it's not the Devil

Mystic Zyl	15 Dec 2003
Matt and I are clutching at straws now, laughing.

MattDouglas	15 Dec 2003
6 of pentacles. he won't need to beg it from Smaug. Complicated? Half the deck has been guessed and no one has it. I'd say the clue is complicated.

Mystic Zyl	15 Dec 2003
6 of pentacles, giving out power to the weak....I knew I should have read this book

Mystic Zyl	15 Dec 2003
Matt did you beat me by a milli a second to get that answer in? Matt has my last straw......

MattDouglas	15 Dec 2003
Yes, I may be a laughing straw clutcher but I'm a determined laughing straw clutcher.

Agathe	15 Dec 2003
Guys....it's not 6 of pentacles (a loud cry!!!). I'm going to kill myself, I'll be back later! I REALLY thought it would be easy :o(

Mystic Zyl	15 Dec 2003
Matt you read this book....you laughing straw clutcher........think I am going to smoke a straw and I don't smoke! Hoping she does kill herself until we have the answer.......it still would have been easier to declare me the winner with the Fool answer.

MattDouglas	15 Dec 2003
i don't smoke either, but right now I could really use it if ya blew a little smoke my way. I'll smoke the book, and blow it your way so you don't have to do all the work.

Agathe	15 Dec 2003
I would like to interrupt you guys...I haven't read the whole book yet myself...fyi

Mystic Zyl	15 Dec 2003
Six of swords going on a journey

rexenne2003	15 Dec 2003
Ace of Swords? In my book it says a new action or act of will, a step forward become possible...

Mystic Zyl	15 Dec 2003
Matt remember secondhand smoke is dangerous.

Agathe	15 Dec 2003
no and no!!!

rexenne2003	15 Dec 2003
Okay either that or the Two of Swords

MattDouglas	15 Dec 2003
Oh I know but at this point MysticZyl the second hand smoke just might resurrect an answer.

Mystic Zyl	15 Dec 2003
I don't know 3 of swords.....is he not happy to find an enterance?

Agathe	15 Dec 2003
Oh My God!!!!! Mystic...you are soooooooooooooo close!!!!!!!!

Mystic Zyl	15 Dec 2003
Laughing ....yep Matt

MattDouglas	15 Dec 2003
what the heck ..... 8 of swords, self-imposed prison that he's out of after seeing the entrance.

Mystic Zyl	15 Dec 2003
4 of swords

Agathe	15 Dec 2003
Guys, you make me cryyyyyyyyyyy :o(

Mystic Zyl	15 Dec 2003
2 of swords

MattDouglas	15 Dec 2003
3 of pentacles. The card show an entrance to something.

Mystic Zyl	15 Dec 2003
Easy is an over rated word.

Mystic Zyl	15 Dec 2003
Matt ...she has been quiet for awhile you think she killed herself?

Agathe	15 Dec 2003
OH MY GOD!!! MYSTIC....Finally!!!! Congrats!!! Of course it's 2 of Swords. Bilbo has to make a choice of which way to go to the gates now. I told you..it was soooo easy, and you had soooo much fun. I did for sure.

Mystic Zyl	15 Dec 2003
Yes it all makes sense, do you go in, or go back to tell the others. Is Bilbo eaten in the end by a monster?

rexenne2003	15 Dec 2003
Uh, I posted Two of swords on page 8.... ?

rexenne2003	15 Dec 2003
Quote: Originally posted by rexenne2003 Okay either that or the Two of Swords here it is...it was on page 7

Agathe	15 Dec 2003
Are you asking me? If yes, then I don't know...I haven't got to that point yet. Ask Matt. I told you it was EASY :oP

Agathe	15 Dec 2003
Oh...I feel so bad. I'm sorry...I missed it. Sorry Mystic....I guess you're not the winner. Rexenne - CONGRATULATIONS!!!! Forgive me :o(

MattDouglas	15 Dec 2003
In fairness I did see rexenne post on page 7, when it appeared. What an irony; Mystic forgets about it, and get the answer herself, too. Only on Aeclectic can we impersonate a card, (blindfold yourself to what you've seen like on the 2 swords), and come up with that card as the right answer.

rexenne2003	15 Dec 2003
NP, figured you missed it in the flurry of posts. :) I haven't an idea on how to post another one, so why don't you post the next one there Mystic. :)

Agathe	15 Dec 2003
Rexenne...sorry once again and thanks for participating. Congratulations again!!!

rexenne2003	15 Dec 2003
Oh I love this game! But I don't know the tarot well enough to put out a quote (or have any quotes to use) and then link it to a card...that could take me weeks! SO I figure that since Mystic also guessed the correct card, and if she is willing, I will pass the torch to her and let her post a quote.

Mystic Zyl	15 Dec 2003
Matt I did forget it.......I was just trying to beat you typing posts! Rexenne, go ahead and try your hand at one, its the only way to learn

rexenne2003	15 Dec 2003
Okay give me some time and I will post in a new thread.
