KoL tarot (priest, pagan)

lilithu · #1 05-12-2006, 03:36 AM

I've had this idea brewing in my head for a while now, a tarot deck made in the style of KoL. Actually, what first came to mind was what I would want if I ever had enough meat to buy a customized avatar (just a fantasy). Basically, I would want the female pastamancer in the Hanged-Man position. Upside down (in which case her pony-tail would actually make sense) with her legs crossed like the number 4. The Hanged-Man is "my" card, the one I most identify with. It occured to me that most of the RFers who play KoL are of the Pagan persuassion and thus would probably be familiar with the tarot. So I was wondering, if you care to share, which card would you choose as your custom avatar and what would it look like?

Like Michel , I have always indentified with the Fool .

Following my own path and not caring what society cared about it . Now that I think about it , a little stick dog would be kinda cute ... lol

But as for a customized avie , it would have to be that dancing Bugbear wearing a toque , or perhaps a tee shirt with a Maple Leaf on it , or both .

I'll have to think about this! (I love your customized avatar idea, though! That's inspiration at its finest!)

The card that numerically and 'by my Western zodiac sign' for me usually comes up as the "Justice" card. It's odd, though. I like the card, but I don't really associate it with myself.

I do know that, whichever card it is, it'd be the Turtle Tamer I'd picture!

I'm also a Fool, so perhaps a Disco bandit wearing a bumcheek... with a papaya slung in hand?

I get the high priestess card, I'll work out the details and get back to you.

How interesting! That's not how I interpret the Fool. For me he doesn't care what society thinks because he doesn't know any better. Not that he is stupid, but that he is innocent. Someone at the very beginning of a journey, and possibly about to be in for a rude awakening (at the edge of the precipice) but not necessarily.

lol! but what card would that be? Perhaps Strength?

Let's see: the Hermit would have to be the Hermit of course, and for the Tower the Guord tower??

I thought of making a complete deck with the minor arcana but three types of classes doesn't translate well into four suites. How about muscle (swords), mystical (staffs), moxie (cups), and monsters (pentacles). It's the best I can do at the moment.
