What if the point of life has nothing to do with the creation of an ever-expanding region of control? What if the point is not to keep at bay all those people, beings, objects, and emotions that we so needlessly fear? What if the point instead is to let go of that control? What if the point of life, the primary reason for existence, is to lie naked with your lover in a shady grove of trees?

Not keeping at bay..
I'll go with the Tower.

Letting go, being vulnerable/naked...
The Hanged Man?
|
| Luminessence |
29 Jul 2004 |
|
Nope, none of those - although the Hanged Man was the card I originally thought of for this passage.

Page of Cups?

|
Well, the obvious...The Lover/Lovers?
Because for them that is the point of life, right?

and what of the even more 'obvious' (to me anyway :D):
|
| Luminessence |
30 Jul 2004 |
|
Nope, haven't got it yet!
(The Sun really is a good choice for this passage, though, and very close, in interpretation of the passage, to the card I chose.)

Judgement.

I was going with the Fool...

The World?

BWHAHAHA - THE DEVIL. })
|
| Luminessence |
30 Jul 2004 |
|
Nope, still not yet...
Guessed so far:
The Fool
The Lovers
The Wheel of Fortune
The Hanged Man
The Devil
The Tower
The Sun
Judgment
The World
Ace of Cups
Page of Cups

I have absolutely no idea...
how about the quote as advice to the two at his feet:
|
| OakDragon |
31 Jul 2004 |
|
9 of Cups? The guy on the RWS card seems pretty satisfied with having everything.
|
| Satori |

|
Ace of Pentacles
|
| blackroseivy |
31 Jul 2004 |
|
The 3 of cups. Celebratory.
|
| Luminessence |
31 Jul 2004 |
|
Nope, none of those... The one I'm thinking of is more about fully embracing the world and being fully a part of its cycles instead of separating yourself from it.

9 of pentacles?

Two of pentacles... (sigh, I know I'm wrong!) :(
|
| Eco74 |

|
Strength?
Thinking of the mild control "not keeping things at bay, relax and trust the calm"... Aswell as that restful stance "under a tree" that is apparent in some decks for this card...
|
| Satori |

|
Lumi, thanks for the hints but I don't think I'm in the ballpark...
How about Temperance, because between this thread and LaLaLyric I need her?

OK...can it be the Moon? It always makes me think of surrender, in a sense.
Arcana

I'm a coming for you lady.....oh I'm a comin'......BWaahaahaaaahaa
(Ummm does that sound like a demonic laugh...you know the old horror movie kind of laugh????)
|
| Satori |

how about the ...... Death card?
Because if you don't care about Death, you laugh in Death's face and make love?
I'm reaching here Lumi....come on...talk to me....
|
| Luminessence |
02 Aug 2004 |
|
Still not yet!
The card I picked doesn't focus so much on surrender, as such, but is more about stepping out of the Magician mentality of seeing the world as something to control, and instead simply being a part of it, especially the natural world and the senses.

VII Chariot - relinquishing control.

The fool?
Or has that already been guessed?
Checked, Dang it has...
Out of ideas. *sulks*
|

King of Cups
Final answer....

Yep! You got it! The Empress is the card I picked. To me, she represents simply enjoying the world and your place in it instead of trying to separate yourself from it or impose your will on it.

Good going danubhe. That was a hard one....uh oh. Could this be lala lyric the sequel.....;)
|

Exactly what I thought (as to explanation) - oh, hey, I had a great one, should I go ahead & use that one again & this time people can guess? Nah - I'll come up with something better!
