I figured since we'll be embarking on thinking about the cards from a fannish lens, it would be a perfect time to do a second treasure hunt. Search for tarot art from a favorite fandom of yours around the internet. If you find something shiny, link so we can all go ooooh and sealclap at it.

Ready.

Steady.

Go squee!

1 - The Magician


I'm thinking of starting the slow process of working my way through the tarot, one card at a time, starting with the Major Arcana. Ideally both to learn and to eventually make some cards on my own (a Xena deck beckons mightily). It occurred to me that could be a fun way for the community to zero in on one card at a time, connecting it to various fandoms, tropes, characters, genres, what have you.Read more... )

Agatha All Along featured an episode heavily centered on tarot (also imo the best episode of the season), and in it they use a spread called The Safe Passage Spread. I figured I could share it here!

[youtube.com profile] RumerHaven has created a Spike Tarot deck for herself, and shares some of her process and major arcana cards/writing in this video clip (minor arcana here). A really lovely, minimalist deck! (she's talking about using the official Buffy tarot in the previous clip as well)

She's also currently working on a website that will feature some cards and her writing, but it's currently not up and running.

Only the box set, guidebook cover, and partial view of three cards so far. But at least you get to see the art style. No word on whether it's a pip deck.

Rebranding The Lovers to The Duo tho. Cowards.

Cards like ‘The Fool’ and ‘The Devil’ carry their own stories for tarot readers, just as comic book fans know what ideas and values their favorite characters symbolize. By comparing Major Arcana cards to icons of the DC universe, it is possible to develop a base understanding of the tarot journey and discover just where traces of the tarot play out in modern comics.
...
The Magician is a card of creativity, showmanship, and confidence. It can also represent transformation, both outward and within. As one of DC’s most talented magicians, Zatanna channels the spirit of this card in full. She’s a natural showman, confident in her craft, and able to use magic in a positive light for those around her. By speaking words backward, Zatanna can transform the physical world. Her faith in her own abilities is what makes her spells as effective as they are. Fortunately, Zatanna uses her magic for good. The reverse of The Magician is a message of confusion, ill intent, and disruptive communication. Skills go to waste when they are used negatively and fail to bloom to their full potential when clouded by a lack of confidence. If we cannot trust in ourselves, we cannot transform the world positively.

Article here.

Illustrates the main idea behind this community: engaging with and learning through various canons, by applying them to the Tarot (or other cartomancy systems). So this was a neat article to find!

This is a Halloween themed House fic I wrote fifteen years ago.

a few author's notes
the tarot scenes show up a few chapters in
there is a self insert
one of the chapters is missing

Imps
(A House Halloween fic)
Chapter 1

Nobody was in the conference room when I went in so I assumed everybody was either working or helping to set up for the Halloween party in the lobby area. I put the backpack containing my costume on one of the chairs and the large plastic container with my Heath bar cake in it on the table. I took the lid off and allowed myself a little burst of pride.
Chase and Wilson walked in and I couldn't help smiling. "The movie theme was a great idea, guys, those are fun costumes!"
Wilson adjusted his fake glasses. "Ligers are like my favorite animals," he replied in a fairly decent impression, then added in his own voice, "Where's your costume?"
"I just got off work and I thought I'd wait until later to change, especially since Greg and I aren't going to be around for the whole party; we've got somewhere else we need to be later. Chase, I like your Austin Powers costume but where's the gnarly teeth?"
"I didn't feel like wearing them."
I took a serrated-edged knife out of my backpack. "Well, this cake is just for a few of us, I didn't bake enough for the whole hospital party, would you guys like some?"
"I'll go get some plates and forks from where they're setting up for the party," Wilson replied, leaving the room.
Chase gave me the fishy eye. "Why are you being so polite to me all of the sudden?"
"There are two reasons for that. The first is, you know how some people put aside their differences around Xmas? I do it around Halloween."
"That doesn't make sense."
"I've seen you be nicer to people around Xmas, and religion is not based in logic at all. Anyway, the other reason is that I used to find you and Cameron incredibly irritating, but those new people are so mind-poppingly drab and awful, they've made me appreciate you a lot more."
"Erm, thanks, I think." Chase looked doubtful. "I used to wonder why House likes you but now I think I know."
Wilson walked back in with several paper plates and plastic forks. I smiled at him. "How big a piece do you want?"

Hi there! What an interesting theme for a comm. :D

Some weeks ago I did the Anamnesis Solo Tarot Journaling RPG, had LOADS of fun, and thought I could share the links here?

Author: [personal profile] dr_zook
Fandom/Character(s): It's a riddle! (Hint: I'm very fond of art history, especially Renaissance & Baroque, ahem.)
Rating: Gen
Summary: It all begins with waking up.
Note: You're very welcome to read it at my DW journal (f-locked) or over at AO3. I also added some Author's Notes in the end, hopefully I've got all questions covered there. Drop me a note if you've got any questions!

It starts like this: The card signifying my Shadow Self (the person I was before) is THE WHEEL. My assigned cards for the first round were:

DEATH "You open your mouth and hear yourself speak. What is your voice like?"

THE DEVIL "You take a deep breath and smell something in the air. What is this scent? Does it trigger any memories?"

JUSTICE "You take a moment to familiarize yourself with your surroundings. Where are you?"

Hello all!

Summary: Agent 47 can't forget the tarot card reading he barely paid attention to while blending in.
Years later, he finds meaning in these three cards.


I wrote this fic as a treat for [community profile] hurtcomfortex 2022, using Tarot card prompts I received in [community profile] getyourwordsout.

None of the existing tags really apply to this, and I'm not quite sure which tags to request because I don't know how you want to organise this. xD
