Here are the Pentacles. The Two of Pentacles also reveals my name for the deck, the Infinite Fool. I chose the name because it sounds like the David Foster Wallace novel, Infinite Jest, but it also captures the cyclical nature of the Fool’s journey. I also used the cherries as my symbol for this card because I am living on a cherry orchard as I create this deck.
The Ace of Pentacles is above a cherry orchard with Mt. Hood in the distance. This is also because of where I am making this deck, and the pentacles is where I can boast.
Three of Pentacles is based on Michelangelo. Four of Pentacles is a greedier, more selfish Hierophant. He kind of looks like a young Rutger Hauer. The Five of Pentacles is very similar to the Rider-Waite deck. Six of Pentacles is Jesus flipping the money lenders table.
Seven of Pentacles is Pan farming while the Eight of Pentacles is a strong woman blacksmithing. My Nine of Pentacles is the evil queen or witch in a Disney movie with her high cheekbones and pale complexion. Ten of Pentacles is an old king while two sand cranes fly together beyond his stack of coins as the sun sets.
My Page of Pentacles is Plato pointing to heaven. My Knight of Pentacles is a boy riding an elephant through a tea plantation. The Queen of Pentacles is based on the Burney Relief and its depiction of Lillith. My King of Pentacles is Ceasar.
I look forward to seeing what you think.
