Having been graced with the arrival of a new muse into my life, the fire has been rekindled under some creative projects that have been embering within me for some while.
I've been studying tarot for some time, and while I've been thinking about this for a couple years, i don't think i had enough understanding of the arcanum until now to attempt this.
The idea is for it to be used prior to apsychedelic trip,to help gel intent, during to help focus as well as conversely to open new avenues of exploration and in the integration period to help assimilate the information brought back.
I'd like to post here the process of creation,including sketches etc, to of course show off:wink:, but also to receive input from those here who are esoterically inclined,and those who appreciate art. The symbolism and attributions are going to mostly be drawn from the Smith Rider Waite deck.
Here's a crap phone pic of the first sketch ov the first card I'm working on, #13,Strength & Perseverance. Just so something is here. Be gentle, again, FIRST SKETCH. The figure will have hair that resembles flame, the sun rises in the disc behind her and throws rays out, and the beast lazily reclines behind her, subdued. I'm actually pretty happy with how this one is working out, but alot of that satisfaction comes from the return of visual creativity, which has been dormant in me for awhile.
