Dante's Prayer by Loreena McKennitt When the dark wood fell before me And all the paths were overgrown When the priests of pride say there is no other way I tilled the sorrows of stone I did not believe because I could not see Though you came to me in the night When the dawn seemed forever lost You showed me your love in the light of the stars (Chor.) Cast your eyes on the ocean Cast your soul to the sea When the dark night seems endless Please remember me... Then the mountain rose before me By the deep well of desire From the fountain of forgiveness Beyond the ice and the fire (Chor.) Oooohhh... Though we share this humble path, alone How fragile is the heart Oh give these clay feet wings to fly To touch the face of the stars Breathe life into this feeble heart Lift this mortal veil of fear Take these crumbled hopes, etched with tears We'll rise above these earthly cares. (Chor.) (P.S. Think of the mood...)

The Star?

blackroseivy	19 Oct 2004
I *knew* people would guess the star! You are getting warum... :D :D :D

Mesara	19 Oct 2004
The Sun- I can't believe I didn't think of that before!

OakDragon	20 Oct 2004
5 of Pentacles?

blackroseivy	20 Oct 2004
Still not quite there - it's a bit obscure, but I can 'splain! :D

Yemanja	20 Oct 2004
The World?

WhiteRaven	20 Oct 2004
5 of Cups

blackroseivy	21 Oct 2004
What can I say without giving it away, it's about a Divine Messanger showing a particular way...?

arcanalefait	21 Oct 2004
Page of Wands?

Yemanja	21 Oct 2004
Aargh!! :D The High Priestess?

Semiramis	21 Oct 2004

The Devil -Sally Anne

blackroseivy	21 Oct 2004
The Star is still closest... The position of the card in sequence suggested this to me as well, with it being in The Dark Night of the Soul spot, so to speak... Hope you get it! (I'll explain more when it's guessed - obviously!) :D

Yemanja	21 Oct 2004
The Tower???

blackroseivy	22 Oct 2004
Not quite - that's a wee bit warmer, though! To me, it describes a quality in the card.

OakDragon	22 Oct 2004
The Hanged Man?

blackroseivy	23 Oct 2004
In a way, warmer! :D

xviiirkna	23 Oct 2004
Temperance? - Sally Anne

Yemanja	24 Oct 2004
Strength?

OakDragon	24 Oct 2004
Haven't we covered all the divine messengers? Hmm.... 9 of Swords?

blackroseivy	24 Oct 2004
I feel that Temperance is in the position of The Dark Night of the Soul, between Death & The Devil. It's a "Divine Messenger" of the truth of the balance between mortal despair & Divine love. At least, to me that's what the song is about, & the balance of Temperance shows Dante the true path to walk. It's the black sky without moon or stars, but yet there is this message. Some stars may be glimpsed through the clouds. - NEXT! :D

xviiirkna	24 Oct 2004
Hi Danubhe, Once you've explained it, I can see very well where you were coming from with that choice. Such a beautiful and haunting message in the song too. I'll post a song later tonight, I have to give it a bit of thought. I do like this game - it's so interesting to see how people connect music to the tarot. Blessings, Sally Anne
