Yesterday I learned from fellow blogger, aurarcana, that the new Smashing Pumpkins album will be revolving around “The Fool’s Journey”.  “The Fool’s Journey” is a process leading from the beginning to the ending of the Major Arcana cards.  The Fool starts off on a journey and through his travels, meets the other characters/symbols from the Major Arcana.

I think that this is a very cool concept and I’m really looking forward to seeing the final product!  You can read more about the Smashing Pumpkins and their new album on Smashing Pumpkins dot com.

On a related note, I am reminded of Roseanne Cash’s video of “The Wheel”.  In this song, there are several references to Tarot cards – through the video and through the lyrics.  (originally found through Mary K. Greer’s blog)

And now, my question to you: Can you think of any other songs or videos that reference Tarot cards?

I wanted to share this video with you all – it’s the song that inspired the title of my last post.  If you haven’t heard it before, I’m sure that you’ll love it!  This is the video of a song called Drops of Jupiter by the band Train.  It’s one of my favorite songs because it has a catchy beat, beautiful lyrics, and a lot of references to planets, constellations, and “new agey” stuff.

You can read the lyrics for Drops of Jupiter on Rhapsody’s website.
