XXI - The World. The last card of the Major Arcana, and the end of this wee project. I started this project on New Year's Eve just gone. I'd cancelled my plans to go into the mountains and spend time with friends, because I was in need of some serious down and reflection time, in my own space after the crazy two months which had preceeded it. It has continued to sustain a very quiet and meditative mind for me whenever I sat down to paint them. The last card of the major arcana seems appropriate to this new year, this new life situation and as I move forward to heal and re-find joy and stability in my life. So I wish to share it with you -
.
"The World card shows a naked woman wrapped in a purple cloth, dancing inside a large laurel wreath. She looks behind her to the past, while her body moves forward to the future. The wreath is circular, symbolising a continual cycle of successful completion and new beginnings because, as the woman steps through the wreath, she is completing one phase but beginning one almost straight away. .
Around the wreath are four figures, a lion, a bull, a cherub and an eagle, which speak of the cyclical nature of life and your progression through its cycles. They are symbolic of the four elements, the four suits of tarot, four compass points, four seasons and the four corners of the universe. They are here to guide you from one phase to the next, bringing balance and harmony to your journey."
