Stargate Tarot - Major Arcana

Summary:

It's all in the cards.

Notes:

My take on the major arcana of the tarot interpreted through Stargate characters and imagery. I've made other tarot decks, and have been wanting to make one for SGA and SG1 for a while. Made with watercolours, acrylic inks, gouache, coloured pencils, copic markers, and finished digitally.

Chapter 1: The Fool

Notes:

(See the end of the chapter for notes.)

Chapter Text

 

Tarot card featuring Sheppard in black uniform tossing a coin, against the multicoloured patterns of Atlantis's stained glass.

 

Meanings: A leap into the unknown, risk-taking, exploration, gaining through loss, new beginnings, potential.

Reversed: problems from recklessness and impulsiveness, foolhardiness.

 

Notes:

In some interpretations, The Fool is the central card of the tarot, and the cycle of the Major Arcana is called "the Fool's journey". John Sheppard's sense of humor, playfulness, and laid-back attitude also make him right for this card.
