For the Phantom types...

littlelotteYou are especially useful to me here if you understand tarot symbology AND are a Phantom phan/fan.
I started creating a Phantom of the Opera tarot YEARS ago--as in while I was still in high school years ago. These have been the so-far results. I never really got it too far off the ground because I've known no one who could really do the images for it. The ones with a * next to them are for-sures unless a better idea comes along, and the one's with a ? are really really really up in the air.
Edit: The scene/symbol must fit with the meaning of the card. *goes to drag up card info* http://www.ata-tarot.com/resource/cards/
0 - The Fool - Raoul (from Kay, obviously--relating to his journey in Kay)
1 - The Magician - Erik
2 - High Priestess - Christine
3 - Empress - Luciana...Giovanni's daughter?
4 - Emperor - Papa Daaé?
*5 - Heirophant/Guide - Nadir/Persian
*6 - Lovers - Madeline and Charles
*7 - Chariot - Erik's Boat
8 - Strength - Erik's ring?/The mask?
9 - Hermit -
*10 - Wheel of Fortune - The Chandelier
*11 - Justice - The Punjab Lasso
*12 - Hanged Man - Buquet
*13 - Death - Erik as Red Death
14 - Temperence - Marie Perrault? The violin? Belladova? Giovanni?
*15 - The Deceiver/Devil - Javert
*16 - The Tower - Apollo's Lyre
17 - The Star - Erik's ring? (yes this is above in strength, too...don't know which)/the mask/?
*18 - The Moon - mausoleum scene (aka Wandering Child)
19 - The Sun - Charles Jr.?
20 - Judgement - Torture Chamber? Scorpion/Grasshopper?
21 - The Universe - Monkey music box? The opera house?
Other ideas if anyone can fit them in anywhere...the red scarf, the staircase, Box 5, Erik's organ, the mirror...I'm open to any and all suggestions...lol Other ideas I'd thrown around before were Carlotta/Piangi as Emperor and Empress or Meg as Empress (think Leroux)
As for suits...spiders, I think...perhaps for pentacles? Or just have spiders in the eights of all the suits... His skull cane from the mausoleum scene perhaps for wands (or the rat-catcher's fire pole--both work as the "fire" wand element)? Cups...no idea--just cups as Aminta drinking from the cup in the Point of No Return scene? Swords...at a loss. Completely. Knives just, maybe? Didn't he kill Javert with a knife stab?
A few comments are on the entry on my old journal here:
http://www.livejournal.com/users/athenaeriu/251405.html
hmmm...some personal new thoughts: maybe the mask as the devil/deception. It still works under strength, though, too (especially in relation to ALW's show...he leaves, and the mask remains). I really like an off-hand comment I made about Erik at the organ as the hermit...or maybe move Papa Daaé to the role of hermit. And, Alley--Charles Jr. would be the PERFECT Sun... http://www.ata-tarot.com/resource/cards/maj19.html Keep Marie as Temperance especially in mind when you read it...
For the record...I'm pretty pleased with how solid a lot of these are.
