indeedsir_backupWithout more ado, I present the:
Jeeves and Wooster Tarot Deck!
0 The Fool: Bertie (edited from Barmy, upon reflection and rereading the card description)
1 The Magician: Jeeves (edited from Anatole, upon reflection and rereading the card description)
2 The High Priestess: Aunt Agatha (sacrificing nephews to the full moon, pagan rituals, etc)
3 The Empress: Aunt Dahlia
4 The Emperor: Uncle Tom (because he goes with Dahlia)
5 The Hierophant: ???
6 The Lovers: Bertie and Jeeves, OBVIOUSLY (alternatively, Bingo and Rosie)
7 The Chariot: the opposed forces of divided loyalties and good vs bad outcomes, represented by Marriage vs Bachelorhood, Schemes vs Forthrightness, and Bertie’s outer foolishness in contrast to his inner wisdom and generosity of spirit…no idea what the creatures pulling the chariot would be. Ideas? :D
8 Strength: Honoria (lol)
9 The Hermit: Rocky
10 The Wheel of Fortune: engagements, schemes, marriage, freedom, Jeeves
11 Justice: Plot Resolution (Bertie’s obligatory mostly happy ending) image: a book open to the last page?
12 The Hanged Man: Corky? (edited from Bertie)
13 Death: MARRIAGE
14 Temperance: Mottie (lol—he could be upside down, indicating that Temperance in the reversed position equals Mottie)
15 The Devil: Spode!
16 The Tower: engagements, schemes gone awry
17 The Star: Improving Books (meditation, etc)
18 The Moon: The Drones’ Club (base instincts, the subconscious, etc)
19 The Sun: Bertie’s sister, possibly, or trips to the Mediterranean with Jeeves (associated qualities: fruitfulness and sterility, collective intelligence, synthesis…I was at a loss)
20 Judgment: Roderick Glossop
21 The World: Wodehouse’s idyllic London
22 The Universe: Jazz Age Britain and New York
Tentative Recommendations for the Court Cards:
Wands (element: fire, desire, energy, inspiration, self-growth, impulse)
King of Wands: ???
Queen of Wands: Bobbie
Knight of Wands: Tuppy
Page of Wands: Angela
Cups (element: water, emotion, relationship, imagination, reflection)…often associated with lurrrrv
King of Cups: Catsmeat (Dionysian quality…is Catsmeat like this? He’s kind of a ladies’ man, right?)
Queen of Cups: Madeline
Knight of Cups: Bingo
Page of Cups: Rosie
Swords (element: air, thought, conflict, discrimination, problem-solving)…this one was the hardest for me…
King of Swords: Stilton?
Queen of Swords: Florence
Knight of Swords: Stinker
Page of Swords: Stiffy
Pentacles (element: earth, physical manifestation, security, worth, result)…often associated with money and goals
King of Pentacles: Mr Stoker
Queen of Pentacles: Pauline
Knight of Pentacles: Gussie?
Page of Pentacles: Emerald
other random cards:
10 of Pentacles (Wealth): Oofy, obviously
10 of Cups (Satiety): Tuppy, lol
9 of Swords (Cruelty): Spode and Stilton again
*In order to create this deck, I used as reference a combination of Aleister Crowley's Thoth deck, and The Complete Book of Tarot Reversals by Mary K Greer. I welcome anyone to suggest different arrangements, ask about my choices, or generally discuss things.

It's mercurial nature indicates adaptability and protean skills. ...At worst, you use guile and trickery to foster an illusion, manipulating the truth to serve private ends. ...The Magician tends to make things happen. ...You may be transforming a situation to be more favorable to your needs."
Also: "Skill, dexterity, craft, sleight-of-hand. Diplomacy, eloquence. Adaptability. Will, will power, intention. ...Originality. ...Trickery..."

Also, 13 - Death: marriage. Yes. That is awe. some. And the lovers has to be Bertie and Jeeves. It just has to. Who cares about double-ups? :P

Date: 2011-01-15 05:09 pm (UTC)Could large bees (drones) be pulling the chariot?
maybe Wodehouse himself as the king of wands, since that wands are associated w/ creativity.
