Centaur
I think that this card is one of the most gloomy looking in this particular deck. It depicts a rather dark, and dismal looking lake, upon which glides a boat. A seated man rows solemnly, and behind him stands a woman. She looks in the direction from which they are travelling, with a certain kind of sadness in her stance.
Interestingly, there are in total eleven swords depicted on this card. There are three below the boat, and three above. However, beside the standing woman, there are five swords placed inside the boat. What could this mean? The five of swords is often associated with some form of arguing or fighting... some form of upset. This would meld very nicely with traditional interpretations of this card as representing the transition from a difficult time, to a time which is more calm and balanced. The woman moves from a time of conflict to another time of calm and peace.
I think it would be interesting to take a guess at the relationship between the two figures in the boat? Any ideas?
Also, what is the building in the background? It looks almost like a church. Any thoughts?
