THE GREAT TAROT MEME

[azure-regis.livejournal.com]

Ganked from Cape and Cowl, though I'm unlikely to actually do art for it.

Basically, I want to make up a Wake Tarot; figure out which characters fit which cards best. I'm not even sure we have enough characters (there's 75 cards or so, we'll see).

I am going to post descriptions of each card; your job is to reply to each thread with which characters you feel fit the best. You can also be like "I AGREE WITH SO AND SO"

After a few days/when I'm non-lazy I'll put up the results. And maybe draw a few if I'm non-lazy hoorayyyy.

Descriptions ganked from here

NOTE THAT I ACTUALLY CAN READ TAROT And maybe later I'll idk do some. I've done online readings before.

*E*

I ALSO WANT TO RANDOMLY NOTE THAT THE FOUR SUITS - Wands, Coins, Swords, and Cups - correspond to both elements, and in Nautilus, to cardinal directions. Thus:

Wands - FIRE - West
Coins - EARTH - South
Swords - AIR - North
Cups - WATER - East

14 - Temperance

[azure-regis.livejournal.com]

There are certain people who exude a kind of quiet composure. They may not say much, but they go about their business with an air of calm deliberation. Their presence is comforting because they are so centered. For me, this is the energy of Temperance.

To be temperate is to show moderation and self-restraint. In a world full of enticing indulgences, it is often necessary to find the middle ground. Sensible, maybe, but also a bit boring? The energy of Temperance may seem unexciting on the surface, but it is the calm of a hurricane's eye. All around are swirling winds, but in the center is a still point that brings everything into balance.

In readings, Temperance can represent a need for moderation, especially when extreme cards are present (such as the Knights). This card can also indicate a need for balance. In conflict situations, Temperance suggests that compromise and cooperation are vital. Look for any opportunity to bring opposing parties together. In fact, to temper can mean to modify by adding a new component. By combining and recombining, we come up with the ideal mixture or solution. Temperance is the card of good health in all areas - physical, mental and emotional. When illness or dis-ease is a concern, Temperance holds out the promise of vitality and well-being.
