What of the number one can you associate with each card in this set?
The Magician- He is a true believer- he thinks of something and then takes action to create it. Believing in the power within his own being. He has what he needs and does not need anyone else. He has the power to produce, to create.
One with such ability can become to dependent upon themselves. Thier heads may grow to a size where they feel that they are above all others. They might resist what others have to offer, thinking that they alone have all the answers.
The Wheel- The shape of the wheel is a circle- a circle is a symbol for "ONE" oneness of all things and a reminder that all things are connected. One cannot exist without the other. In the Fey card we see two Fey, a younger & an older.
The older fey is showing the younger fey those things that she knows. The older fey has spent her time being the one to lead her fellow fey through life.
Here she shows the younger fey how life is a never ending circle of creation.
The Sun- The Sun is a much needed part of creation. In astrology the Sun represents ego. Ego sometimes can get the best of one, causing one to be to full of themselves, demanding upon others, and not willing to listen to any advise. The Sun fills one with energy. With the rise of the Sun it is a new day- it is time to get up and get moving, take action.
ACES-
Cups- The Fey here seems to be doing some sort of rites of passage- the first step towards a new cycle in life. The Fey uses the water to wash away the old and prepare for the new, a clean fresh start.
Pentacles- The creativity of 'one' is shown her by the mandala that the Fey paints upon her hand. This one- the circle like the wheel, encompasses all.
Perhaps the action of the fey painting the circle upon the hand is to bring all things together. To become self-dependant, as well as to be able to care for the company that the fey keeps.
Swords- Much like the Fey of Chalices, this Fey is also taking a first step in a rites of passage, the start of the next phase in life. The Fey recieves the sword that symbolizes the capabilities & purpose of the Fey. The Fey is now in charge of this power and must use it properly. The power is not to be mis-used or against others. The Fey's red eyes reminds us that one with power- who puts themselves in the position of a leader, is one to be watched. Power can posses one to destroy what has been created. One must have a strong will power to not allow such power to go to thier head.
Wands- New growth, a new beginning for a creation of nature. This is a young fey at the very beginnings of his life-path. He has much still to experience. The Fey is a loner- no other fey are like him. He is seperated from the others by his unique vegitative nature. The vine upon his back, I wonder if this is something that is normally part of the fey or if the fey is the vines host? that the vine depends upon the fey for life. If the vine is part of the fey- does the fey have control over how it grows?
