Bat Chicken
The originality of Marie’s interpretation of Tarot never ceases to amaze me. I have purposely avoided the book for the time being in order to continue the exploration. That need not hold anyone else back!

My first impression is heavily influenced by the boat. Lady Fortune made me think of the figureheads put on the front of sailing ships to bring luck and protection. There is a wonderful article on the history of figureheads here: http://seagifts.com/historicalinfo.html
The boat on a sea of the Unconscious, where control is limited… Lady Fortune’s hair even seems to be made from wood – her waves like the grain.
The lotus lies at the center of the wheel, the only place that is nearly still.
Again, the cards have echoes of their neighbours with the blindfold one would expect of Lady Justice.
Thoughts?
