Halloween Tarot - 7 of Imps
Hello,
Since this card don't follow the RWS illustration, I have thought it could be a good idea to discuss about it.
There are 6 imps (red with yellow eyes) and a boy disguised in imp walking on a road during the night of halloween.
You can only see a part of the face of the first imp on the left down corner. He and the cat are looking at each other. There is only a part of the cat's face visible too. He has red eyes on this card.
The second imp looks at them.
The third one looks at a house on the top of the hill on the left upper corner, brown, with three windows, surrounded by a fence.
The last imp has a wand and point the house with his finger.
In the middle of the card, there is the boy looking at the two last imps on the right, who look back at him. One of the imps is holding his hand.
The moon is full, smiling green face with red eyes, looking at the imps.
There are five stars in the sky and they look a little like a part of Ursa major.
The traditionnal meaning of the card in the RWS system is one fighting against the rest of the world.
Here it can't be applied.
The little boy pretend to be an imp, while he is not.
He tries to look like the others, to hide in the crowd.
All the characters are focusing on different subjects : the cat, the house and the boy.
The boy is the only one to look at the imps.
Finally they all look at something, glance direction seems important to me in this card. The subject being more what people looks like than what they really are?
Could the meaning of this card be : being different and trying to hide it?
Or being influenced by the others, eventually to make stupid things like walking outdoor at night when your a little boy?
(the meaning seems the right one for me in a reading i have done a few days ago).
Any other ideas?
