Brainstorming...
Dear Hakaryu...
Well It would seem i have one more tarot i want to work on...the list is becoming scary but this one won't be denied...
I am going to make a Saiyuki tarot deck and it is going to be really something...based on four suits one for each of the boys and their particular journey...it started with the idea I had for our family talisman where i was going to take and make a pic for each of us based on the positions of Buddha to bring various good things to our home..it would seem it occured to me that these would make great meaningful card designs but wouldn't quite work with the Yaoi oracle so i got to thinking and came up with the four suit Saiyuki oracle..
Hakkai I think is learning about his own worth in the present...and is driven to make the road a happy home for himself and the other three...if only he can truly free himself of the past
Goyjo I think is learning what it feels like to truly belong somewhere...to not be shunned...to stop thinking the world would be better without him and lose his self-loathing
Goku perhaps suffers the most because he sees the beauty and the cruelty of the world unfiltered,he is learning what it is like to be free after years of imprisonment and seeks more than anything how to return to himself
Sanzo although the monk and the spiritual leader really is just learning how to love and be loved in return...he likely has the longest way to go on this journey of any of them...as he is not a fast learner...
Already along the journey they have made many stops and been forced to deal with their faults, their fears, their good points, their truths and they are learning without really showing major epiphanic moments...there is a beautiful meaningful tarot deck in there somewhere and i will find it...
what I have so far is this... the four suits start with where each of their journeys start...the past incarnations, then you have the next version their early form in their present incarnations...and you have them as they were before they came together for the journey and what they are now...and finally back around to the ones i am doing for the family talisman that show what they are trying to learn from the journey...that is four times five...twenty people cards...they are also going to connect in a way so that if you get two from the same incarnation the picture meshes and the card is read as one...
then there will be another five cards each that show significant points of their individual journeys...ie, for Hakkai helping the one boy from the orphanage...or Goyjo protected the little half-breed baby...which makes forty
and three cards each to show a facet of each in relation to the other...another twelve...and that makes 52
four more to show a person that for better or ill each carries in their heart makes 56
which would actually leave me 22 if i wanted a major arcana...which i could make at the end of it based on twenty-two guides along the journey...people they meet,enemies they face...here is where you'll see the MG, Komyou,Ni,Kami-sama,Homura,Shein,Zenon,Hakaryu,...
but first it starts by making the talisman
Hakkai will be Happy Home which according to research will have him seated with a parasol behind his back
Goyjo will be Abundance again research says that is hands raised above head, holding bowl of plenty pot
Goku has Spiritual Journey which means he holds a gourd of enlightment hanging from a stick, fan in one hand, and necklace of beads
Sanzo gets Love which is seated feet together, holding weath ball, bag over shoulder...
what I envision for this is four very pretty pics that go together to form
another pic...also I want one set to be them playing mahjohgg...and the one with the wings that i have already started(that will actually appear in two decks but in different ways ...well i guess i'll go for now cause i have a lot of designing and stuff to do

Ah.. this is a mistake so many people come up against. They remember the day they fell in love (yes, you loved each other before, but that's the day you fell "in love" with each other) and they recall the sunshine and rainbows and chorus of angels... then they settle into life together & they think every day will be like that and they must not be in love anymore if they wake up once in a while & want to poke each other in the eye with their breakfast spoons. Not so. Love is neither easy nor blissfull. THis is yet another bullshit media propaganda scheme. Love takes work and commitment. Love means working thru those breakfast spoon days, those starvation days, those us v. them days and knowing at the end of the day you wouldn't ever even think of lying down to sleep beside anyone else. Being in love is the difference between dreading waking up the same person every day v. waking up to the same person every day & thanking God it wasn't a dream & they're still there.
Terribly sorry. I was arguing with my browser & accidentally posted my comment on the topic so I posted it to the right one as well. (Didn't know how else to do it because there's no option to delete comments.....)
