For those that have watched my blogs and videos. I am a traditionalist. I tend to stay away from the eclectic concepts that I believe are tainting paganism. But I can't help what I dream at night. Well this morning I have a thinking dream, well that is what I call them. These are dreams that I have around 3:00 in the morning and I plan things out. Well this dream was a dream about the Tarot deck. In my dream I was telling myself to expand the Tarot deck by creating new cards for the minor arcana.
First one was a "General" card. every nation in modern times and in history has had a military leader that stood out and represented that nation or kingdom. The military leader wasn't always the king/queen. And when you think about the Tarot deck suits representing the changing seasons, we must remember that nature can be forceful. SO I was thinking that the "General" card would represent the brutal aspect of a season or suit.
The next card that I thought needed to be made was a "Princess" card. In most tarot decks there is a King/Prince duo. But the Queen lacks her duo partner. The "Princess" would represent the innocence and gentleness of the season or suit. She won't be the damsel in distress, but the aspect of a younger queen that is still leaning about the world.
So that would make a total of eight new cards in this concept that I had. What do you think of this idea? I would love to hear some feedback from everyone.
