Description Yeah, this is how I feel every day ... Nah, not really. Every other day, maybe!

The Stength card is not about physical strength, but inner strength. It's about keeping your anger, hatred and intense feelings under control. Integrating opposite energies into a formidable force. Wrestling with problems. Harnessing natural energy. Learning to "love the beast within". Yeah baby!

STRENGTH: unshakeable resolve, conviction, determination, willpower, calm composure and patience, compassion, persuasion and soft control, tempered force
INVERTED: weakness, insecurity, fear, doubt, illness, loss of control

NB - I won't be able to post the Hermit card up here because there's no actual image. It's about introspection so I turned the card into a mirror, so that whoever picks up the card would simply be looking at themsleves. However, this means it's impossible to show on a computer screen!

So use your imagination, guys. The next card will be number 10 - The Wheel of Fortune

So what are the positive and negative parts about the hermit?

And, any chance you could just post a photo of what you have for the mirror card in scraps just so we can get an idea of the aethetics and the design? Haha, yes I'm rather curious

Degare In reply to Fireflowerlass [2006-02-07 10:17:31 +0000 UTC]

OK, just for you:

THE HANGED MAN: introspection, contemplation, deliberation, insight, sense of self, reevaluation of your goals
INVERTED: paranoia, fear, isolation, deception, loneliness, withdrawal, feelings of rejection

I could post a photo, but it wouldn't really come out very well. The flash would bounce off the mirror Plus I'm lazy

Ooh...kind of scary, actually. As well as the hands (which are so cool it would be far too obvious for me to say how much I love them...except I just did) I really like the way her hair sits in this one.

Wow...this is amazing. I want to say that it's hauntingly beautiful, but I'm not sure that I found it "haunting" enough.....but this is wonderful. When I first saw it I thought how creepy and strangely drawing the hands reaching out of the dress was.
