Overall, I’m mildly pleased with this one. It’s pretty simple, but I keep feeling like there’s something missing from it. I might re-do it, though not likely. I think the part that bugs me is the mountains in the background. And…Is it totally geeky that I looked up a lion’s average height to get the right scale for the model?

Strength symbolizes our ability to overcome, or at least calm, our primitive, primal instincts, as symbolized by the lion. The maiden has a white dress to symbolize her purity. She is the one doing the calming. In traditional decks, she is seen holding the lion with a serene face, showing that it is not physical strength she is using to overcome the primal instincts, rather internal strength. By doing this, she has made the primal instincts manageable and has them completely under her control. Her internal beast is calmed. The mountains in the background symbolize our aspirations and goals.

Of course, there are many different meanings for each card as it will vary from person to person, so my meaning and your own could very well differ.

*8th card*

THE BEST TAROT CARD DESIGN I HAVE EVER EVER SEEN! YOU SIMPLY MUST FIND A WAY TO MARKET THIS -- CREATE A DECK! SO MANY PEOPLE WILL BUY THAT YOU COULD GIVE ROYALTIES TO THE INDIVIDUAL PARTS ARTISTS. YOU WOULD MAKE A BUNDLE! ASK A PUBLISHER ABOUT THIS!

I have shown this card to many people... they all have said it's the best strength card that they have ever seen and that they want this deck. Any idea when this deck will be finished? And PLEASE do not change this. We LOVE it just as it is.

I want to purchase the right to use this photo from you. How much do you charge or is this a free download? Actually, I'd like to talk to you about purchasing one to hang on a wall as well. Also, I've got about a dozen people who have asked me about buying your pic. Please contact me.

While I'm flattered at the offer, it contains stock photographs from other people who don't want them used commercially, and I would like to respect their rules on that. My apologies, and thank you nonetheless.

Oh wow I really like this one because it protrays two contrasting but complimenting images (not the actual picture but what they represent)

Thank you! I've always liked it too. I might end up adding a couple of things to this one some other time, like a wreath of roses around the lion or something, but for now I'm just too darn lazy xD
