This card means..."experiencing competition
feeling the thrill of the contest
going against an opponent
rising to the challenge
being involved in a game or sport"

Two of Swords

I'm still trying to stay semi loyal to Rider Waite. I like the look of this one.

Strength

The Star

Devin Crumb..." The colors look like your monitor is adjusted weird."
I happen to like the colors. That's why i chose them.

9 of swords...

Hmmm. Not bad if I do say so myself.

5 of cups

The Five of Cups is about loss., the Five of Cups can alert you to the possibility of a loss and its associated emotions - sorrow, regret, denial. The loss could be great or small. It could be tangible (money, possession, relationship, work), or intangible (dream, opportunity, prospect, reputation).

6 of swords

3 days of working on it....
I'm fairly pleased with it.

Two of Cups

"Here is the very picture of romantic and sexual attraction. The energy between these two is almost palpable. The Two of Cups shows the beauty and power that is created when two come together. This is the card that lovers want to see, and, in fact, the Two of Cups is the minor arcana equivalent of the Lovers card in many ways."http://www.learntarot.com/c2.htm

Queen of Swords

Above all else she admires honesty, and she lives by her commitment to being truthful. Lies, tricks and games are of no interest to her, but she's not easy to fool. She is experienced in the ways of the world, good and bad...

The Emperor

The Fool

The Fool- The Fool stands for each of us as we begin our journey of life. He is a fool because only a simple soul has the innocent faith to undertake such a journey with all its hazards and pain.

The Empress

I had fun doing the background. More symbolism here. The fruit = Fertility and womanhood. The Heart = Feminity. The Braid = Feminity and Complexity. The Crossed fingers = women can not be trusted and yes, that was intentional.

Ace of Cups

I know I know it's upside down. However, look at the birds. They arent. The Ace of Cups symbolizes longing. Longing for what? I think the most important thing people long for is freedom. Not freedom as in Abraham Lincoln but freedom from themselves and the expectations of society and the world. The long to be part and belong and feel connected and thus the feathers tied to the wolf. Not alot of people feel connected anymore so they go to extraordinary lengths to incorporate themselves into anything that will take them. For some it is drugs or gangs. For me it is my art and in that I feel connected.

Death

This is the Death Card. The wheat ear he is holding is a Muslim superstition in that horses who have the wheat ear on their chest ( the way the hair grows ) is usually a sign of bad luck. Also, wheat and the autumn leaves signify in general the closing of the year and harvest time. Harvest time ( typically October ) holds one of the greatest traditions for spirits aka All Hallows Eve. The symbol on the flag is from a traditional Waite Tarot deck. I thought the skull with the live wolf body was important to show. I may touch up the fur later but I am overall very pleased with this.

the magician

The Magician for the Werewolf Tarot Deck. See how entangling the vines are?

The Sun

The Sun for the Werewolf Tarot Deck. See how joyous and full of life? The cloth was fun to do. The mask represents the sun. I wanted the wolf reddish...staying with warm colors.

The Moon

This is one is one I like alot. I tried to incorporate alot of cool colors and where the sun mask is up this one is down as I play with the opposite representations there. The eyes are closed and the mask's expression neutral in a calming way. I feel calmed by the moon sometimes.

THE HERIOPHANT

werewolf tarot number 2

The heriophant...

Werewolf Tarot One- The Hermit
