Sample Card: The Moon. Keywords - illusion, dreams, fears, intuition. Two pillars stand in the darkness as clouds fill the sky, covering the starlight and only allowing the moon to shine through. She stands serenely between these pillars, belladonna threatening her way. The lunar glow reflects off the rays of her headrest forms a crown upon her head. The owl tattoo on her chest represents the western in her heart. As she waits, she has joined by two wolves. One is tame and calm, hanging back slightly, at peace with what may come. The other, growling and baring its teeth, looks ready to pounce. The pair symbolises the animalistic duality dwelling within us. In darkness, the mon casts shadows making the trees look like monsters, the simplest of deceptions striking listen to your heart which will protect you. Pay attention to your intuition. Don’t rush in until you have all the facts and have had time to gauge the motives of those around you.
