I'm the tarot hermit. I suspect a lot of people might be -- all my answers were veering between literature and science. I am intrigued by the tarot, though predictably don't have any belief in the supernatural. But it was going to be instrumental in a short story, and I like the heritage, and the idea of different decks representing the same thing in different ways, and perhaps even the idea of a reading just as introspection.

Piers Anthony has several books obsessed with it, another aspect of him that I find quite pleasing, slightly worrying, and overwhelmed by others.

There was a choice of five decks: cat, chinese, dragon, fantastic and winged. I expected the dragon to be coolest and the cat people to be kinky, but of all the pictures I liked this old man the best.

You are The Hermit

Prudence, Caution, Deliberation.

The Hermit points to all things hidden, such as knowledge and inspiration,hidden enemies. The illumination is from within, and retirement from participation in current events.

The Hermit is a card of introspection, analysis and, well, virginity. You do not desire to socialize; the card indicates, instead, a desire for peace and solitude. You prefer to take the time to think, organize, ruminate, take stock. There may be feelings of frustration and discontent but these feelings eventually lead to enlightenment, illumination, clarity.

The Hermit represents a wise, inspirational person, friend, teacher, therapist. This a person who can shine a light on things that were previously mysterious and confusing.

You are The High Priestess

Science, Wisdom, Knowledge, Education.

The High Priestess is the card of knowledge, instinctual, supernatural, secret knowledge. She holds scrolls of arcane information that she might, or might not reveal to you. The moon crown on her head as well as the crescent by her foot indicates her willingness to illuminate what you otherwise might not see, reveal the secrets you need to know. The High Priestess is also associated with the moon however and can also indicate change or fluxuation, particularily when it comes to your moods.

You are The Sun

Happiness, Content, Joy.

The meanings for the Sun are fairly simple and consistent.

Young, healthy, new, fresh. The brain is working, things that were muddled come clear, everything falls into place, and everything seems to go your way.

The Sun is ruled by the Sun, of course. This is the light that comes after the long dark night, Apollo to the Moon's Diana. A positive card, it promises you your day in the sun. Glory, gain, triumph, pleasure, truth, success. As the moon symbolized inspiration from the unconscious, from dreams, this card symbolizes discoveries made fully consciousness and wide awake. You have an understanding and enjoyment of science and math, beautifully constructed music, carefully reasoned philosophy. It is a card of intellect, clarity of mind, and feelings of youthful energy.

Ah, but what shape is it?

What?

When the Reeve raises the new sun, they declare its shape to the assembled Jomsvikingar. According to my lj, emperor's sun was in the shape of a bicycle wheel with the spokes filled in. To my shame, I can't remember what shape my own sun was, in 2000.

Ah, 2000 was your year; that's as far as the website goes back, and the committee weren't listed.

Hmmm. Clare's email forgot to mention that, thank you. Maybe I should make it a vyvan shaped sun ;)
