Okay, so I asked them about the Bible references and if Anna's mom is religious or if Bible has anything to do with this.

Eletha,

That's a great quote from the bible, and yes, that pretty much sums up the role of The Keepers. This, however, has nothing to do with religion. Anna's mother is not religious in the way you might think.

Well, worth a shot.

Hey guys im Keeper of the Swords could I get a drawing?


Netsua, I sent you a pm but I'm not sure you got it. It seems you guys will eventually be able to choose a card within your suits, meaning you will be keeper of "something of swords". As soon as we know which I'll hook you up with an illustration. If you're eager you can always ask Winter Sylvana if you can choose a card now. Rich has one, for example: Three of Swords.

So said Anna's father which The Cardkeepers' blogger wrote:
"I like that dress," her father said. "It suits you…"

That's from the Update on the blog titled Sleep & Dreams Part II. Believe it's a clue. Went thru the Minor Arcana & Court cards yet am reluctant to hazard a guess. Dunno

From what I have read so far the red and white dress goes back to the clue of the Fire Department.

It also appears that there is a conscious element of blending dream and reality. In a sense, Anna's dreams are starting to invade her life.

Proof:

Quote:
It was a clear, sunny day in the dream, but strangely she could still hear the rain falling.


So to take it a step further, this might be a manifestation of her father. He is clearly trying to guide her (and by extension us) somewhere yet he does not appear to be angry or impatient.

If this was a person that was wrongly taken out of this world he's certainly one cool cat.

So where does Justice fit into all this? Hm....

Confused So, ndemeter, you are also saying Anna's father is guiding her & us to bring him a card in a specific suit b/c "He gestured to the cards. [saying] "Start there."?

No. We are the cards. He is telling her to ask the cards and by definition asking us.

At least that's what I think so far. The next logical step now would be Anna asking a question. Then we (the cards) research and answer her and that makes it seem like the tarot cards are guiding her towards the truth.

Makes sense?

That's what I thought. Yet am not glued to any one perspective b/c ndemeter's theory is well put. Find it telling tho the last thing Anna's father says is: "It suits you".

I think that's the direction... the red and white dress "suits" you... look for that in the deck.

The problem being... we don't know what her deck looks like.

just thought my card is pretty fitting at the moment with anna

Mystery. Nightmares. Dreams. The fears that grow in the dark. Secrets. The Moon lights the gateway between the physical and metaphysical, the conscious and subconscious realms. Entering the Moon's world is frightening, but can also be revealing and inspirational. The Moon suggests creativity and intuition. Possibly psychic revelations. Utilize the inspiration. Perhaps write or paint. But also respect the dangers lurking in the dark. Beware of deceptions and phony people. The subject must be very careful to avoid hiding their fears behind alchohol or drugs, as the Moon indicates increased vulnerability to these self destructive behaviors. Traditionally, hidden enemies, deception, illusion, danger, terror, lunacy, plots, dreams.


edit: also only card i can find in a red and white dress is the empress card, and i dont know if that would count as red and white, as its white with what looks like red flowers

If it isn't too much trouble, I would like to ask for a drawing for the three of swords! I really adore the drawings of the Major Arcana! Smile

The blog asked at the Check-In for name and cards, so I assumed it was time to choose. I thought I could perhaps help Anna, if I sent the Three of Swords reversed at the right time Wink

Has anyone asked any questions about Adin? I think he may need some looking in to. He was teaching Anna about the cards. He probably knows more or at least something we don't currently know.

There has been a lot of discussion about who Melia might be. I believe this is short for Melinda. Could be Melissa but I doubt it.

I asked Aiden why he sent Anna the deck. He didn't answer but from the second most recent post it seems that he didn't. So I don't know.

I think we're using the rider Waite deck, because that has the fool card with the dog on it, and it's the one linked to from the blog.

I've flicked through all the cards; I had a hunch about one where it was raining on the card, and someone would be wearing a red and white dress.

There were a few interesting things i noticed;

- Justice is wearing red
- a couple of the cards we can't play (because they're kept by characters not players) are wearing red and white
- the tower and the moon both appear to be raining, but no person in red and white on them
- there are a few people in red and white amongst the pip cards, but none where it is also raining

I'm actually not sure that we can play another card until Anna draws them onto the desk. Though how we tell her to do that, I don't know.

And that you for my drawing, tbelle, it's lovely Smile

I have sent the following email:

Quote:
I was thinking: Sometimes Justice comes to us in a peculiar way. At times, it is the result of exhaustive due process and careful examination. Leaving nothing to chance the scales tip for the collective and deliver Justice. Yet other times it is the result of chance, luck, or (for some) divine intervention. The rapist that gets hit by a car and dies on the side of a road. The murderer who gets shot during a mugging.

Some might say it's the interesting way life works. For some this is purely magic.

So for that reason alone I wonder if this is the next step in our chapter together:
