My Avatar - Magician, Empress, Lovers and Hermit
My avatar from the Transparent Tarot is a combination of 4 cards from the Major Arcane. The 1st card is the Magician, top (#1), the 2nd card is the Empress (#3), the 3rd card is the Lovers (#6), and the last card on the bottom is the Hermit (#9).
I chose these cards because these cards represent me the most.
The Magician is a red and white dragon with interwoven tails. This card reminds me of the beginning and the end, alpha and omega, looking at oneself deep in the hidden reaches of the soul, the practice of going on with strength, determination and conviction. The ability to fail and yet following the path you have chosen, if not in the way you imagined, but in the way that works for you. I also am in to dragons.
The Empress I chose because of the beauty of the Earth Mother, even though sometimes there is darkness, storms, and the uncertainty of what is going to come next in our daily lives. The ability to feel her through your hands and feet, to hear the inner pulse of all the different forms of life that we share her with. The ability to sit upon her breast, and receive healing, subsistence, and the on going ebb and flow of life. Seeing the sun rise, walking through her streams, gazing at the oceans that encircle us, looking up to see the designs that flow across the sky that inspire me to continue to dream. I love to stand upon her and feel myself become a tree with roots that run deep into all that is. I reach my arms up to the sky and become those branches of the tree that receives its subsistence not only from the rain of the sky, but the nutrients in the ground itself. The flower reminds me of the constancy of the cycles of life, death, and rebirth.
The Lovers is my soul card for this life time. I always put the symbol of the heart on the pieces I create (UR (Heart symbol) D™ Means You Are Loved™). The Yin & Yang symbol remind me to always try and keep my self balanced, which is sometime very hard to do... and of private things.
The Hermit I chose because of the mountains and the multi-faceted shining light, the reaching up to the heavens when I am a tree. The flow of energy from the top to the of the purple mountain (Hermit) through the Heart and Yin & Yang (Lovers) and down to the bottom of the smaller hills and valleys of the earth to the ground itself to the bottom of the Empress with the Lovers in-between. The color purple reminds me to aspire to be the best that I can be. (Also because in life I am more of a hermit and my last name in Italian means “Holy Mountain”.)
