Q: How many Major Arcana does it take
to screw in a light bulb?
A: All of them:
The Fool has already started before anyone
else is ready.
The Magician assembles an array of objects
that might be needed, displays them to best advantage and starts discussing
how to go about it.
The High Priestess sits in the background,
knowing one thing is missing but says nothing.
The Empress fusses around, making sure
it is safe and nobody gets hurt.
The Emperor tells everyone he thinks
it should be done right now and starts delegating responsibilities.
The Hierophant offers advice on the missing
part after consulting with the High Priestess.
The Lovers umm and ahh about what wattage
bulb to put in this time.
The Chariot charges in and starts doing
it himself regardless of the others' protests.
Strength surreptitiously places what's
needed into Chariot's hands and gets it done her way.
The Hermit suggests a candle in a lamp
would provide light in the meantime.
The Wheel of Fortune laughs and reminds
everyone that the light will need changing again in the future.
Justice works out whose turn it is to
change the light and whether the division of labour is being delegated
fairly.
The Hanged Man sits back and contemplates
how darkness can change our lives.
Death points out mournfully that this
was bound to happen and how everything ends.
Temperance tells Death to chill out;
it all evens up in the end.
The Devil tries to blame the Hanged Man
for causing the light to blow and creates bad feelings all round.
The Tower suddenly starts ripping out
the original light fitting so he can create a whole new more basic
look.
The Star marvels at new beginnings and
says how much she's looking forward to having the light working again.
The Moon continually offers conflicting
advice, confusing everyone until he wanders off, to the relief of
all.
The Sun wants to redesign the whole room
around a much brighter light.
Judgment examines the globe to see whether
it truly was its time to blow and ponders whether the globe can be
recycled.
The World suggests that any problems
with the light are temporary – we had light once, we will have
it again – and suggests focusing on the bigger picture.
Meanwhile, the Fool has already finished
changing the light bulb and is off doing his own thing.
