The Human Drama: Part One: The Magician - Roger Osman Painter

By Derek Hunter

For centuries, the tarot has fascinated human beings, as a divinatory tool, as great works of art, as a path to deeper understanding of ourselves and our place in the universe. Starting in 2024, author Derek Hunter will begin a 20 year project, of telling a story based on each individual tarot card, wherein the lead character represents the meaning behind the card. 78 stories for 78 cards. The first 11 tales will follow characters in the modern day, the last 11 stories that fall within the Major Arcana (the first 22) will take place in the future. The remaining tales - 56 - will be told by figures from history and will focus on people in the past.

Part One - The Magician, the second tale following Part Zero - The Fool, follows Roger Osman Painter, Jack of All Trades, Master of None. While celebrating his 34th birthday with his lover Leonard on April Fools 2022, and also the 34th anniversary of Christian Death singer, poet, artist Rozz Williams' (born Roger Alan Painter) suicide, Roger performs a sex magick ritual with his partner. The intention: become a master of something, anything, and stop being a jack of all trades. Roger's choice: become a serial killer - something which his hero Rozz Williams flirted with - and that his victims would be rich Christian men who had molested underage boys and girls. Dive into Roger Osman Painter's tale to see just what happens on this malefic journey of his.
