Hemera
(Invidiosa (latin) =jealous, envious, grudging)
The picture can be seen here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Circe_Invidiosa
In the original painting Circe is standing on the head of a huge fish (or sea monster) which can´t be seen in our card. It was painted in 1892 and it was the second Circe (out of three) that he painted.
Metamorphoses by the Roman poet Ovid, tells a story of a fisherman named Glaucus. A sea-god named Glaucus was enamoured with the beautiful Scylla and asked Circe for a spell to help in the courtship. Circe also loved Glaucus and in jealousy poisoned the waters where the beautiful maiden bathed. Scylla was turned into a hideous six-headed dog-monster. Needless to say, Glaucus soon lost interest.
Again the colors of the original painting are gorgeous and jewel like. Her dress has a stunning peacock like pattern in green and blue. The poison she is pouring is luminous turquoise -like a liquid jewel.
Some possible interpretations for this card:
* envy, jealousy, grudge (obviously..!)
* action; doing something to reach a goal or get what one wants
* magic; making a spell
* getting help from someone or using someone to get what one wants (the fish Circe is standing on)
* change, metamorphosis
