The 78th Fool
If I was going to start any thread about this fantastic deck, it had to be with Card no. II.
For anyone who doesn't have this deck (yet ?) The traditional High Priestess has been replaced with a male figure called 'The Intuitive'.
I now understand the sheer pleasure that many women can derive from feminist/ Goddess decks because the Gay Tarot fulfills the same purpose for me and this card in particular.
I've always identified with the High Priestess but I didn't realise just how much until I saw the Intutive card. Here is the same principle but in Male form.
The image is so simple: A beautiful young man, bathed in moonlight. The moon itself is seen reflected in a deep pool. His eyes are closed and you get a real feeling of his connectedness to something - but what ? His facial expression could mean many things - pain, serenety, concentration, peace. In many ways, the card is as ambiguous as the Intuitive himself and that's what works for me. You never quite know what he's picking up on - which makes him both alluring and dangerous.
