Blood will Flow

The Tarot card project continues!  I love Missouri's character and was surprised nobody else had snapped up this card before...

The High Priestess is the card of knowledge, instinctual, supernatural, secret knowledge. She holds scrolls of arcane information that she might, or might not reveal to you. The moon crown on her head as well as the crescent by her foot indicates her willingness to illuminate what you otherwise might not see, reveal the secrets you need to know in order to make a decision about a problem or a job, an investment, love, career, family, etc.

And, finally, there is, behind her throne, the curtain that leads to the deepest, most esoteric and secret knowledge; the pomegranates that decorate it remind us of Persephone, who was taken down into the land of the dead, ate its fruit, and became the only goddess allowed to travel to and from that strange land. This indicates that when you get the High Priestess, you're going to be learning some very odd things. Very odd.

So I managed to incorporate the moons (albeit the wrong way round) and the pomegranate is there on the table along with the book symbolising her arcane knowledge.
Now all I want to see is an episode featuring Missouri, Dean and a wooden spoon and I will be a very happy camper!

Another tarot card completed!
This one was complex....hopefully I've done it justice!

Here's the blurb....
The World card pictures a dancer in a Yoni (sometimes made of laurel leaves). The Yoni symbolizes the great Mother, the cervix through which everything is born, and also the doorway to the next life after death. It is indicative of a complete circle. The Dancer has one leg crossed over the other, just like the Hanged man. She is, in a sense, his opposite, the hanged man right-side-up. As the Hanged Man saw infinitely inward, the Dancer sees infinitely outward. Which brings us to the Lion, Bull, Cherub and Eagle standing for Leo, Taurus, Aquarius and Scorpio, the fixed signs of the Zodiac (these link the ever turning World card to the ever turning Wheel of Fortune). These are symbolic of the four elements, four compass points and the four corners of the universe. All within the Dancer's sight and power.

Thus, the World card, very aptly, represents a successful conclusion, all aspects accounted for and taken in. Simply put, this card tells the Querent that the end to a long-term project is in sight, and that it will be accompanied by well-earned praise, celebration and success. With Saturn as its ruling planet, this card can also indicate that the Querent, now an expert in their subject, is likely to become a teacher or sought-after lecturer. And, finally, on a more mundane level, the World card indicates travel, not short business trips, but long, fantastic trips. Maybe a lecture tour, book signing, or just a trip around the world. This is a wonderful card of wholeness, perfection, satisfaction and happiness.

 This card is about the leader who has used up all the energy they started with. They don't feel that creative, driving force any more.  All the burdens are his. He's trying to do everything, and it leaves him drained.  The prompt was Dean's deal and this was what I came up with...

THE SEVEN OF CUPS - This is the "can't make up my mind" card, all about the power of choices. This is a card of illusions, deceptions.  So the prompt was Gabriel and I tried to show him making his choice between light and dark, his brothers and humanity, his final decision to go with Team Free Will instead of destiny....

THE PAGE OF WANDS -
This is a kid that never stays still, runs all over the place, always wants to go outside and play, is always getting into strange places, climbing trees, wanting to go on trips. He's never home for dinner on time. Personality wise, however, he is usually a delightful child, happy, fun-loving, charismatic. He loves being the center of attention and the leader; however, and you might have to watch that he doesn't bully other kids.

So all that said to me was Dean....

An d ok, I'll admit it, I really like this one!
I also did a different version with young Jensen as a little sun...

not sure which I prefer...

This was one of my first attempts for the WInchester Arcana.

Ten of Pentacles

This is the pinnacle of prosperity, material goods that last instead of being temporary; this is a family home bought and paid for, a business you can pass onto your children. The Querent might find themselves the lucky recipients of a trust fund or lottery money big enough to last a lifetime. It may not be a huge lump sum, but it is something that can be relied on for a good, long while, or something to be passed on to the children, a family inheritance, or just a special, valuable item to pass on.

So when you read what the card is about - I guess it always had to be the Impala, eh?

So here she is in all her glory, Sam's dazzled eye in the background symbolising her role in saving the world as well as saving Sam and Dean from the Devil....
