I'm wanting to create my own new Tradtion, but I'm unsure how to go about it.
It's Tolkien-based, and I've already got most of the deities laid out. So far most of them are male, but blame that on Tolkien for only writing three females with any real substance to them. I suppose that works for Maiden/Mother/Crone, but can you really call Galadriel a crone?
Any suggestions?

Hello EBA. Sounds like exactly what the entire site is about. ;D What exactly are you looking for help with? Galadriel to represent the Crone? Sounds good to me. She is VERY old...& who says that the Crone has to be an "old hag"? Besides there are quite a few older woman who look very good for their age nowadays. She's Elvish anyways, she doesn't age like the rest of us. Sincerely, Laurasia

Mostly just how to set things up.
I'd really rather not have to use this setup for Maiden/Mother/Crone, but it's the best I've got (That I'm aware of)
Eowyn/Arwen/Galadriel.
My dislike for Arwen has now fully blossomed into a deep and abiding hatred.
I'm also working on a tarot deck for the tradition, so that means looking for pictures. Anyone know where I can find good ones of the Twins?

Hi EBA. Sounds like a plan to me, though I would personally consider Arwen & Eowyn in the opposite positions. As for LOTR character pictures....This site has an insane amount of images; gorgeous, good & bad. I also believe that they have images of the twins as well. Have fun looking through the massive collection... www.theargonath.cc/Sincerely, Laurasia

Eowyn as Mother... um... why?
And is there any way I can get away from using Arwen? She's not even in my deity system. (Yet. Might need an annoying one.)
And I'll go check the Argonath. Hope the Twins look bishi enough and are in the correct pose.

I guess because of her warrior-like defensiveness of those that she loved. Like a lioness with her cubs. That & I just consdier Arwen more of a young maiden, she is young for an elf afterall. LOL! A system that doesn't use Arwen? Well, you could use the older people of Middle-Earth more. Perhaps replace her with Luthien? Sincerely, Laurasia

(Looks around) Yeah, probably better here.
Actually, it hit me last night while I was mulling it over that since Elladan and Elrohir are probably gonna end up being the main ones (for me, anyway), that I should go with Celebrian, since she's thier mother.
(Looks at Argonath pics) No, I need them together. It's for the Two of Cups.
She'll probably be in the system, since I already have her cast as High Priestess in the cards. Not Lovers, though. I'm going with Aragorn and Legolas for that one.
Did Gerald Gardener have this much trouble, do you think?

Yeah Celebrian would probably be a better choice then. "Did Gerald Gardener have this much trouble, do you think?" LOL! Probably. Sincerely, Laurasia
