The B5 Tarot, Major Arcana (Part Two)

[vjs2259]

Here we are at Part Two.  Part One can be found here. There's a lot more hand-waving in this section, but we must finish what we start. I am going to break this into two posts today. Part Three will have the rest of the Major Arcana.

First I want to look at the cards laid out by Delenn for Londo in the dream sequence in the Season Five episode 'The

Fantastic of course. When my friend saw that episode and the card with the Shadow ship, she took it as support...Londo found (thought he found) happiness because the Shadows gave him what he thought he wanted, and they supported him when he had no one else. At least that's what she told me, and we both got very excited over it XD she does lots of tarot readings herself so I'm going to pass this onto her and see what she says.

This makes me very happy :)

I thought maybe she got 'support' from the position of the card in the spread, but when I went to research Tarot layouts...omg there were millions. So please ask her where that came from; I'd be interested, as well as in her general opinion.

Did you hear an echo when Londo asks 'My future?' and Delenn replies 'Your past.'? I hear Elric-- 'My followers?' 'Your victims.'

I love that icon btw. We need a companion one with Delenn 'The Girl Who Waited'

hahaha thanks XD my friend made it because she and I were bored and sorting the characters and were amused (and maybe a little inebriated) that both Harry Potter and our John come back from the dead and save everyone.

Also, I'll ask her about where she got that idea. She'll love this anyway because it's awesome.

Thank you! The suits can be done many ways, but I had to settle on one!

Maybe. It is his past, according to Delenn, and he did think he was getting everything he ever wanted from them...before he knew who they were at least.

Again, very well thought out. I'm learning a lot about Tarot cards and enjoy reading how you've managed to conceptualize, analyze, and merge various concepts.

Reading this post and thinking back to the first, it seems like you have substantial prior knowledge of Tarot cards and the like.

I was very into Tarot and other means of telling the future/reading people as a teen, but haven't thought about it in years. I can't even find my deck now *mourn*

WoW woman... you did some serious referencing!

Besides, sometimes a denn'bok is just a denn'bok.
HA!
