It's Secret Jackalope season again! And boy is this a doozy: evil scientist 42 asked for Major Arcana names for an alternative science fantasy or cosmic horror or sword&planet vibe Tarot deck. Just the names/titles for the 22 cards. Of course, if you are a true jackalopist, you do a full art series with pages and pages of divination instructions!
Easy. I've got that in a day, prob'ly.
00 The Blind Ones Those who refuse to see will outlive the others. Reversed: Hope for death. You won't make it any farther. |
01 The Idiot Proud, foolish, and playing with forces you cannot understand. Reversed: You have been misunderstood. Now is the time to strike. |
02 The Beautiful Woman Pale, dark-haired. In one hand the cup, life, and in the other the flensing knife, suffering. Reversed: Death and freedom. Your schemes have, thank G_d, come to an end. |
03 The Conqueror Worm Red and squirming. Inevitable, and in its own way futile. Reversed: The end of death has come. Beware. |
04 The Hungry Spider Wise, self-sacrificing, the protector of man's work. Reversed: You are the enemy. Fear order and justice. |
05 The Hungry Moth Cunning, devious, enemy of man's work. Reversed: What you've done is no help. |
06 The Cult Source of knowledge, favors owed. Reversed: You've been found out. Think quickly. |
07 The Black Lake A hiding place. More dangerous than it seems. Reversed: Safety! Safety in the dark. |
08 The Sacrifice Joyful in his death. It's better than the alternative. Reversed: It is imperative that you survive. |
