[UA] UA Tarot redux and a possible Archetype

[Chris Cooper]

I think the magician is a viable contender - but as a
scurvy adept/archetype of avatars with weird ritual
ingredients all around him.
 
> Hanged Man, in the Sicilian variant deck, the hanged
> man hangs by the neck.

A think the hanging leather-gimp would be cool too.

 
> One 17th century Belgian deck replaces two of the
> Major Arcana characters as 
> follows.
> 
> High Priestess(Papess), replaced with. 'The Spanish
> Captain, Ercasse'.> The Archetype, which at present
I call, the> "Incompetent Braggart"

This could be the Rake/Wastrel which is already an
archetype. This parallels the moon-faced Harlequin.
 
> High Priest(Pope), replaced with, 'Baccus, God of
> Wine'.

The High Priestess might be the porn starlet/Naked
Goddess.

I also think a UA tarot might be comprised of three,
not four suits.
 
Cheers,

Chris.
