Talk:Taboo: The Sense of Dread/@comment-26480939-20160814181325

Wow... This is... wow. Incredible is how I'd describe it. Even though I never played T: TSS, I was still able to piece together a good idea of what it's about thanks to the descriptions in the story.

Also, very good usage of the Tarot motifs. I'm no expert on this topic, but I will share some relevant info I do have.

The suit of Swords showing up a lot, with bad things happening afterwards confirms the idea that this suit is generally one of danger or calamity.

Card 0-The Fool

From what I have read, I've deduced that this card represents the 'blank slate' of the beginning of a journey.

Card 12-The Hanged (or Hanging) Man

Again, based on what I've read, this seems to represent initiation and waiting for fate to take its course.

Card 16-The Tower

This seems to signify an action that initially seems destructive, but progress can and will be made because of it. In other words, this represents unpredictability.

Card 18-The Moon

This represents the "dark night of the soul", but is preceeded by The Star, which represents hope, and is succeeded by The Sun, which signifies harmony, happiness, fulfilled promises, and the moment of completion that defines enlightenment.

Card 20-Judgment

This signifies the call of truth and rebirth.

Again, I am no expert on the Tarot, as I don't really mess around with that kind of thing. If any of these Major Arcana card definitions are wrong or incomplete, feel free to mention that. This is solely my conjecture which is a combination of material from a symbolism book and my own experience.
