Okay here we go! This is my first go at this so please bear with me - hopefully it is not too easy or too hard ... Was it a huntsman or a player That made you pay the cost That now assumes relaxed positions And prostitutes your loss? Were you tortured by your own thirst in those pleasures that you seek That made you Tom the curious That makes you James the weak? And you claim you got something going Something you call unique But I've seen your self-pity showing And the tears rolled down your cheeks. Soon you know I'll leave you And I'll never look behind 'Cos I was born for the purpose That crucifies your mind. So con, convince your mirror As you've always done before Giving substance to shadows Giving substance ever more words from a song by Rodriguez CreativeFire

Hi CreativeFire...and congratulations on your win. The Moon?

Seven of Swords?

I'm going to ignore my first instinct and say the King of Pentacles. Kim

Lady Mary	16 Apr 2004
4 of Pentacles?

I keep coming back to the Three of Swords.

CreativeFire	16 Apr 2004
First of all sorry it took me so long to get back - had to sleep! On Australian time here ;) gloria - the Moon was definitely in my top three - but no it is not it. Mercenary - Seven of Swords - was also one I considered as well - but not THE one. ncefafn - no not the King of Pentacles - what was your first instinct? - that is probably it as I ended up going back to my first instinct on this one. Lady Mary - 4 of Pentacles - not this one either - but also thought of this one as well. MoonDreameR - also no not the 3 of Swords - this does apply more to the 2nd & 3rd verses by themselves, but I am thinking more as an overall and in particular the first verse. CreativeFire

Five of Swords?

CreativeFire	16 Apr 2004
no not the 5 of Swords, Mercenary I hope my card makes sense to everyone when it comes out :eek:

Well, my gut reaction was The Moon, but that's too easy. Nevertheless, to get it out of the way: The Moon? Kim

Pook	16 Apr 2004
How about the Devil?

ncefafn	16 Apr 2004
Okay, revised second guess: King of Cups? Kim

CreativeFire	16 Apr 2004
MoonDreameR has it! The Devil. Well Done :D This song makes me think of the Devil particularly the first verse: Were you tortured by your own thirst in those pleasures that you seek That made you Tom the curious That makes you James the weak? but also where in the last two verses it makes me think that someone is being released from the situation but knowing that the other person is still imprisoned by their own fears and shadows. Soon you know I'll leave you And I'll never look behind 'Cos I was born for the purpose That crucifies your mind. So con, convince your mirror As you've always done before Giving substance to shadows Giving substance ever more Over to you MoonDreameR CreativeFire

Being my first go at this - can someone tell me how you change the Thread Topic to "solved" like I have seen other ones? CreativeFire

Pook	16 Apr 2004
OH YAAAYYYY!!! I can't believe I actually got it right! I felt really good about it, because right after I posted, I got out a couple of my favorite books! I'll try and have a new clue up by early tomorrow....gotta tend to the baby 4 tonite though. See all you tarot-aholics in the morning.

Congratulations, MoonDreameR! Glad to have you with us in the Rec Room! :) Kim

I think it is harder trying to find a literature clue than what it is to guess it :D LOL CreativeFire
