A New Tarot

A New Tarot

I wish I could draw but alas, I cannot. I received through channeling the first four cards for a new Tarot Deck. I have no idea how this is going to turn out but so far it is the Mortal's Journey through the Spiritual World.

The first card which corresponds to the Fool is the the Mortal.

A man who is dressed like a bum clambers into an apparent mining cave probably in search of either gold or shelter. The top of the entrance is the broken part of the old door that had blocked it off. It has two long boards or fence posts and six short broken ones between them. It is the same on the bottom. The boards are a dirty ivory streaked with brown dirt. One the top two long ones Abandon is carved into one and All Hope into the other. The six bottom ones have a single letter carved into each spelling out MORTAL.

But are they boards or teeth streaked with the blood of previous mortals and is this a cave or a mouth awaiting a tasty mortal.

You cannot really tell if the man is running into the cave/mouth or stumbling backwards out of it.

The second card is the Emperor. A man stands with his back to a picture window showing a city scape. There is a flag on each side of the window of indiscernible country. A conference table is in front of him with a single booklet in front of him with a triangle with an eye in it on the cover.

He is impeccably dressed complete with red power tie. His hair is slightly longish and he sports a perfectly trimmed goatee. His lips are thin but his mouth is perfectly straight as is his perfect nose. But if you look closely, he has no ears with which to hear your pleas nor does he have eyes to see you. The decisions are already printed in the booklet on the table.

The third card is the Empress. A beautiful woman sits on a throne, a welcoming smile on her full lips. She has a tiny, perky nose and huge blue eyes with long lashes. Her face is framed by long blond wavy hair falling over her ample breasts barely concealed by the diaphanous gown she wears. She lounges seductively on the throne, her arms outstretched and draped to the sides in long full sleeves.

However, if you look closer, you notice the face is a mask and the breasts are completely artificial attached to a flat made up body. There are no hands where the sleeves end, the sleeves are pinned to the chair. A closer examination shows a serpent's tail coming out of the left side of the gown with a rattle held high, rattling.

The fourth card is the High Priestess. A woman stands between two columns on one foot. One side of her face is that of a reptile and the other side is beautiful woman. She has long black hair on the human side. One arm holds onto the pillar and it is clear from the dress draped across that shoulder that the other side has no arm. This is why she stands on one foot. She only has one leg. One side of her body is that of a serpent, completely smooth and the other side is a well endowed woman. She is a true Chimera.
