Hi Stuart and Garrick - I am imagining an epic body of musical work that will combine the strengths of both "The Open Sesames" and "the frenetic". I imagine us interpreting all 22 cards of the major arcana of the Tarot - some with vocals, some as instrumentals and some with chanting.
I study the Tarot in the light of The Tree of Life of the Qabalah. Looked at this way each of the 22 cards represents a path which runs between one of the 10 Sephirot which constitute the Tree. So, there is both brilliance and depth to be captured and interpreted. A great challenge but one I believe we are up to. Why not?
We already have our first Card completed and I, for one, love it. I am referring to "0-The Fool" which is the card closest to the pure radiance breaking through from the unknown into the known at the crown of the tree. The cards descend, one by one, from this point until they culminate with "XXI-The World" (what started as almost pure radiance is now fully embodied).
So, if you two agree I will write lyrics for some of the cards and, for the remainder, I will supply you with"key words and concepts" to interpret purely musically. In my mind not only will this be a worthy challenge it will be uplifting work to undertake for all of us. The concepts are very beautiful and very much part of our human makeup.

I can start you out with a teaser: the first card for the two of you to interpret musically is "I-The Magician". But please do not run ahead ... there are keywords and concepts connected to this card that make it what it is and make it worth interpreting.
