Hemera
Fenestra: Justice
Let´s just get the ball rolling!
I read somewhere that the first printing is already nearly sold out. So I bet we´ll soon have others to join us here.
I can start. Here goes..
Justice:
She´s very androgynous like most people in this deck. She´s beautiful, serene and benign, but also quite stern. A no-nonsense kind of a gal. She´s standing in a Palace, between two big stone pilars. What is behind the curtain? There seems to be just a wall, so why is there a curtain? This could be the same Palace where the High Pirestess also sits.
The scales she holds are in balance, and she quite clearly intends to keep them that way. She looks absolutelly trustworthy and reliable.
Her sword points down to the earth. Why? It looks heavy and she´s resting her arm perhaps? I usually prefer Justice to hold her sword pointing upwards (like in Morgan-Greer), but in this card it looks ok the way it is. It makes me think that it is okay to be physically weak and yet you can mentally be the stongest of all.
I like the way she´s dressed. It´s feminine but not too much so. Her dress is a funny combination of very practical working clothes and two seremonious flowing fabrics (blue and red) that she´s wearing maybe just for this picture.
Her slipper is beautiful. It´s Oriental in style, and there is something in that slipper that suggests a good sense of humor. This Lady might like to join the Fool when she´s off duty!
