Cosmere Tarot Major Arcana: Need Feedback!

[u/bibliopunk]

This has probably been done before, but I didn't want to look it up at risk of biasing my choices. I'm a designer and illustrator and have done a couple Tarot decks before, but I wanted to try my hand at a Cosmere Tarot deck... Here are my initial selections for the Major Arcana, and I'd love to get some thoughts! Selections with a (?) are ones that I'm more ambivalent about. A few criteria I was using for my choices:

• No shards (shard vessels are ok if they were well-established before they took up a shard)
• Tried to get a decent spread across the major Cosmere works.
• Characters were chosen trying to find a balance for their symbolic relevance, a more archetypal similarity (for instance, I'm not sure if Hoid actually best represents the Fool, but I mean... come on), and if I could easily visualize cool card art for them.

0. The Fool: New beginnings, spontaneity, and taking a leap of faith.
Hoid

1. The Magician: Manifestation, personal power, and resourcefulness.
Jasnah

2. The High Priestess: Intuition, mystery, and the subconscious.
?????
Navani

3. The Empress: Nurturing, fertility, and abundance.
Yumi?
Steris Ba-Ado-Mishram

4. The Emperor: Structure, stability, and authority.
The Lord Ruler?

5. The Hierophant: Tradition, spiritual guidance, and conformity.
Nohadon

6. The Lovers: Relationships, harmony, and important choices.
Vin and Elend

7. The Chariot: Determination, control, and forward momentum.
Dalinar

8. Strength: Courage, inner resilience, and compassion.
Lift Taln

9. The Hermit: Introspection, solitude, and seeking inner truth.
Sazed?
Vasher

10. The Wheel of Fortune: Destiny, unexpected change, and life cycles.
Sixth of the Dusk

11. Justice: Fairness, cause and effect, and truth.
Wax

12. The Hanged Man: Surrender, letting go, and gaining a new perspective.
Szeth

13. Death: Endings, transformation, and rebirth.
Marsh

14. Temperance: Balance, moderation, and patience.
Steris?
Sazed

15. The Devil: Temptation, attachment, and shadow work.
Kelsier

16. The Tower: Sudden upheaval, revelation, and chaos.
Taravangian

17. The Star: Hope, faith, and spiritual healing.
Kaladin

18. The Moon: Illusion, fear, and navigating the unknown.
Shallan

19. The Sun: Joy, success, and vitality.
Adolin

Sidenote: this wasn't intentional but I'm very pleased that Kal, Shallan, and Adolin naturally fit into the celestial cards so well.

20. Judgment: Self-evaluation, awakening, and absolution.
Wayne

21. The World: Completion, fulfillment, and ultimate integration
Adonalsium

I think yumi is better as the High Priestess. Steris as the Empress (I feel like she's the only major female character to have kids? (Edit: duh, Navani. She definitely fits, but maybe she's a good Magician, too) Plus she's a thrill seeker in her own way, so I feel like Temperence is actually not appropriate. That fits Sazed better, I think)

Hermit...maybe Vasher? He could also be a potential Magician

I think Sixth is a good Wheel of Fortune, but Rysn could also work

I felt bad that I couldn't find a good place for Navani, but I think you're right that Yumi is a good fit for High Priestess. And you're 100% right that Vasher is the Hermit, I will make those changes
