DIVINATION CLUB: Term XXI, Activity 5: Arcana Stamping
So you finally started learning about Tarot cards. You were instructed to memorize them as homework for a test tomorrow and (obviously) you didn't bother until the last minute. You sit with a friend taking it in turns to remember them all. It isn't until you see in her notes that she had annotated the Page Of Swords with "think of the Ravenclaws" that you come up with a strategy that makes learning them all so much easier...
Activity Arcana Stamping
Points Repetitive Activity: 2pts per comment, 30 max.
Deadline 27th November @ 11:59PM UTC
Details Fill out the short survey and find out which of the Major Tarot Arcana best represents you! 2pts per comment with a cap at 30pts!
This is a little like an activity that happened about 3 terms ago (according to my homework), but I'm going to put a slightly different spin on it. Here is a textbox:
Fill this out and submit it. Like all stampings, try to elaborate a little bit! Give folk something to latch on to!
Then the fun bit: you get to stamp each other (lolwhut i just typed 'spank') as one of the 22 Major Arcana. But because I don't expect you to know these automatically, and it's a lot of researching if you don't, I'm offering up these handy cheat sheets!
- 00) The Fool - Naïve and trusting. Takes gambles and risks, likes adventure. Artistic and carefree, lives for the moment.
01) The Magician - Power of charisma. Conscious creativity. Taking initative, a skilled mentor.
02) The High Priestess - The head ruling the heart. Spiritual, unconsciously creative. Quiet knowledge.
03) The Empress - Abundant and happy. Successful and affluent. Fertility- literal or metaphorical. Maternal.
04) The Emperor - Authoritative, strong and confident. Paternal and controlling. A natural leader.
05) The Heirophant - Educated, likes to develop the self. Committed and dedicated. Fairly conservative.
06) The Lovers - Social, full of passion and energy. Tries to please everyone. The heart ruling the head.
07) The Chariot - Confident and full of swagger. Focused and dedicated. Takes responsibility, motivation, energy.
08) Strength - Patient, composed, with a core of steel. Doesn't give up easily. Mental or emotional strength.
09) The Hermit - Introspected, and detached from distractions. Seeks wisdom and knowledge from within.
10) Wheel of Fortune - Often affected by external factors. Recipient of balanced fate. Plays the long game.
11) Justice - Logical, often cold cerebral realism. Impartial, objective and clever. Good at decision making.
12) Hanged Man - Self-sacrificing, puts others first. Passive and submissive. An inactive, 'hakuna matata' mindset.
13) Death - Self-improving, likes to keep moving. Doesn't let sentimentality obstruct progress. Open to new things.
14) Temperance - Lives a balanced life. Can integrate new things into life efficiently. Open to new things.
15) The Devil - Hedonistic, materialistic. Chained down by a lot of pressure. Can be closed to new experiences.
16) The Tower - Chaotic, capricious and heavy-handed. Expects the unexpected. Energetic but self-sabotaging.
17) The Star - Zen-like inner calm. Optimistic and joyful, generous and trusting. Likely to succeed in the long run.
18) The Moon - The worrier. Fears the unknown, prone to pessimism and anxiety. An excellent imagination.
19) The Sun - Optimistic and full of vitality. Enthusiastic, free-spirited and self-motivated. Bright and happy.
20) Judgment - Forgiving and introspective. Doesn't rush into things, rational, the head ruling the heart.
21) The World - Maturity. Starting life over. Fulfillment and self-actualisation. Well-connected. Lives for the moment.
These might not be exactly what the cards mean, but they're reasonable enough to be getting on with. EDIT! I've added a supplementary thread here in case any of you HiHers want to add your own interpretations of the above 22 options to the mix. They won't get you points, but extra opinions are welcomed and invited. Check the thread out, and contribute if you want to do so. :)
REMEMBER! There's no such thing as a "good" card or a "bad" card, per se: even the pleasant-sounding ones have bad traits attached to them, while the awful-sounding ones can carry wisdom and stuff, too. So don't be afraid of the ;)
If possible, try to give a little bit of reasoning as to why. But this isn't something I'm enforcing; it's just nice for the stampee to know why sometimes :)
One thing I will enforce, though: You must score at least 10 points to get item bonuses. That's just five comments. Fair's fair, right?
I'm not really a graphics kinda guy.... but if I'm feeling up to it I miiiight try to make sigtags for people reflecting their stamps. Possibly..

I like to spend my free time - Uh, ON THE INTERNET? I play music, and I love to travel and see new places and take pictures of my experiences and share them with my family and friends. I also really love writing, and cooking, and eating, and doing lots of things that incite laughter.
If I could change one thing in my life, it would be - MONEY. I would like more of it so I could spend more time figuring out what I enjoy doing with my time.
My ideal home would be - Something really comfortable, full of soft places to sit and sprawl out on, and warm and sunny, surrounded by leaves or water or some form of nature. I don't really want to see my neighbors, I'd rather be a bit secluded. And I'd also like to have enough spare space to have visitors come stay with me.
Compared to my childhood, I am now more - Restrained, haha. ISN'T THAT SURPRISING? I used to be way more out-there and uncontrollable and flaily and all up in erryone's business.
One thing I'm proud of right now is - Um. My ability to make plans? Or maybe my newfound ability to see what needs to change in my life for me to be happier and learning to take small small steps towards them.
My opinion of kids is - They can be cute? I don't really have much experience with them and they tend to terrify me. I think I'd like my own someday, because I'd probably be a decent mom.
I respond to the unexpected by - CAPSLOCKING. I don't know, it depends on what the unexpected is, haha. Typically, it's safe to assume that loud noises will be involved.
I respond to pressure by - Freaking out for a second and then buckling down and getting shit done.
Two things that matter to me are - Having fun and getting to know myself? Also pizza and corndogs.
If I had one superpower, it would be - That superpower from Meteor Man where he could flip through a book and absorb all its information in milliseconds! That would be super-handy.
