The superior man is modest in his speech, but exceeds in his actions. Confucius Hope this isn't too difficult. })

hedgecub	08 May 2004
*strikes wildly* The Hermit?

gloria	08 May 2004
Not such a 'wild strike' hedgecub....but no not the one.

cheekyminx	08 May 2004
I was thinking of the Pope? Definitly not the fool as he's not a man yet. Nope to the emperor and the hermit. Unless he's a king? King of Cups or King of Wands?

mercenary30	08 May 2004
:( She is stealing all the guesses.... Magician?

cheekyminx	08 May 2004
I'm sorry for stealing all the guesses. Its hard being a gemini. Remember there are two of me ;) hehe

gloria	08 May 2004
Looks like there at least five of you. You really are a cheekyminx! Sorry mercenary but not Magician.

ncefafn	08 May 2004
8 of Pentacles

hedgecub	08 May 2004
So far, it's not the: · Hermit · Heirophant · King of Cups · King of Wands · Magician (gloria, am I right? I'm not sure how to interpret your response to cheekyminx's multitude of guesses ;) ) How about Strength?

gloria	08 May 2004
Hi Kim...no not 8/Pents. Thanks hedgecub, your list does make it clearer, but another two to add from cheekyminx was Fool and Emperor. And no sorry not Strength.

hedgecub	08 May 2004
Okay, so it's not the: · Hermit · Heirophant · Fool · Emperor · King of Cups · King of Wands · Magician · 8 of Pentacles · Strength *browses through her just-acquired African Tarot* This is great; I get to know my new deck, and I get to play a quiz game at the same time! :D How about the Hanged Man?

mercenary30	08 May 2004
King of Pentacles?

gloria	08 May 2004
Sorry hedgy and mercenary but no to Hanged Man and King/Pents. A clue: Sometimes in-action is superior to action.

ncefafn	08 May 2004
4 of Swords?

gloria	08 May 2004
Sorry Kim no. :(

hedgecub	08 May 2004
2 of Swords?

Suriel	08 May 2004
Knight of Swords?

mercenary30	08 May 2004
Knight of Wands?

Phoenix Rising	08 May 2004
King of Swords

gloria	09 May 2004
None so far...... There are three 'faces' or 'sides' to this particular card. One fits the clue.....:)

jmd	09 May 2004
updated suggestions: Magician Emperor Pope/Hierophant Hermit Strength Hanged Man Fool Knight of Bastons/Wands King of Bastons/Wands King of Cups 8 Coins King of Coins 2 Swords 4 Swords Knight of Swords King Swords How about the Chariot ?

gloria	09 May 2004
Hi jmd...no not the Chariot....although with hindsight it does fit the clue pretty well. It isn't a Major. The RWS deck shows the three 'sides' or 'options' I mentioned earlier in a clearer light. G.

Phoenix Rising	09 May 2004
3 pentacles

gloria	09 May 2004
Hi Phoenix....no not 3/Pents. Maybe 'takes' on the card I have in mind is a better word.

hedgecub	09 May 2004
*keeps the list updated* So it's not the: Magician Emperor Pope/Hierophant Hermit Strength Hanged Man Fool Chariot Knight of Bastons/Wands King of Bastons/Wands King of Cups 3 of Coins/Pentacles 8 of Coins/Pentacles King of Coins/Pentacles 2 of Swords 4 of Swords Knight of Swords King of Swords Hey, what about the 7 of Pentacles?

gloria	09 May 2004
Quote: The superior man is modest in his speech, but exceeds in his actions. [/b] Or you could say...."You don't have to be all mouth and trousers to walk tall." The card is one of action...but there is more than one way to skin a rabbit.....or so I'm told. Does that help? :)

hedgecub	09 May 2004
What about the 6 of Cups?

gloria	09 May 2004
Quote: The card is one of action.... Not 6/Cups hedgecub. :(

hedgecub	09 May 2004
*starts to flail about wildly* The Star?

ncefafn	09 May 2004
3 of Wands?

gloria	09 May 2004
Oh dear, the trail is very cold Kim and hedgecub. (bye the way not a major) Now how can I 'point' you in the right direction???

ncefafn	09 May 2004
Oh, geez, I don't know . . . Death? In the Robin Wood, he's pointing . . .

gloria	09 May 2004
No it is NOT a major....:)

ncefafn	09 May 2004
One last try and I'm giving up . . . 7 of Wands

Gaidheal	09 May 2004
Five of Rods, maybe?

hedgecub	09 May 2004
It's not a major, and it's not the: 3 of Bastons/Wands Knight of Bastons/Wands King of Bastons/Wands 6 of Cups King of Cups 3 of Coins/Pentacles 7 of Coins/Pentacles 8 of Coins/Pentacles King of Coins/Pentacles 2 of Swords 4 of Swords Knight of Swords King of Swords 6 of Pentacles?

jmd	09 May 2004
6 Bastons/Wands ?

Dark Eyes	10 May 2004
I'm going with nine of wands, a person who will make a committment after quietly weighing up in his head the odds ...?

gloria	10 May 2004
Quote: Originally posted by ncefafn In the Robin Wood, he's pointing . . . The card is from RWS...not Robin Wood. Gaidheal is the closest in a way...but not with suit.....:)

jmd	10 May 2004
well, it has to be the 5 Swords! :D

gloria	10 May 2004
YES, JMD IS THE WINNER!! The three faces of 5/Swords. The antagonist who likes nothing better than to taunt, ridicule and embarrass. The victim on the receiving end who turns away, head bowed with humiliation and shame. And then the guy who refuses to have any of this c##p, and walks quietly away, head held high, and most importantly…..with his self-respect still intact. It’s sheer coincidence that mercenary’s lit. clue was also 5/Swords. Over to you jmd....looking forward to your clue. :)

jmd	10 May 2004
Thanks Gloria... and Gaidheal :) ...now to find a quick one-line quote before having to soon log-off...

Dark Eyes	10 May 2004
Yes jmd, please don't make us wait... By the way, congrats on winning, well done !! ;)

hedgecub	10 May 2004
Ahh so that's the card! Congratulations jmd for solving the mystery that had us all baffled! Congratulations to Gaidheal for hitting on the bull if not the bullseye!

Gaidheal	10 May 2004
You're quite welcome jmd, and thank you hedgecub! :)
