Tarot Cards - Gormagon

Apr 29, 2008 20:00

Well, it's safe to say that I'm obsessed with Gormagon conspiracy theories (Hey, maybe I'm turning into Hodgins!) . So you know that tapestry thing, that they found in the vault. Lets have a wee look at those tarot-card-things.

First, we'll have a look at the guys killed by the Gormagon, and put them with their corrosponding tarot card. Maybe we can ( Read more... )

Hey!

Well checked the transcribe of "Knight in the Grid" and 3 other cards were actually mentioned aloud in the episode by Angela:

-The Architect
-The Martyr
-The Orator

Don't know if they actually appeared on screen (I'll have to check the vid).

You're right that the cards mentioned are not from a standard tarot deck. I've even looked up variations on the standard Rider deck, to Thoth, and Merlin versions...

... Hmmm...

What if they're not Tarot Cards?

Ahhh...that is because you are looking at the wrong Tarot.

Tarot cards as we know them werent the orginal ones. The orginal ones only had 15 'Major Arcana " not 21 as the current deck has.

You must remember that Tarot orginally was a card playing game in the 1400s. But i believe it is these tarots that they are talking about in Bones. They are called Trionfi. Not much is known about them anymore, but they were the first tarot cards.

and there was only 15 majors. not 21 (well, 20 plus the Fool)

Well, this changes everything. The team are going to research the tarot card deck suggested above, and see if it's correct. If it is... Well, we owe you a lot of thanks!! We've been searching around repeatedly looking for decks that resemble that of the ones mentioned in 'the knight in the grid.'

Thankyou for your comments.

If i remember correctly. The above cards had greek influence to them. (ie: greek gods, ect).

I dont think you will find much about them, as there isnt much written (most of the information has been destroyed with time and all).

But I seem to remember one of my book mentioning them at one time. If i remember correctly, the ones they mentioned in Bones are part of the deck.

LOL and my mother said being a tarot reader would never help me later in life. LOL
