The leaping foxes in the Five of Wands add a sporty, playful feeling to the chaos which is typical of this card. When the Seven of Wands appears in the question about finance, you can expect a growth. For example, you get a bonus which you do not expect or discover that something you own is worth more than what you think. In short, your financial situation will have an increase. Consider how you use and invest this amount. Think about the long term. Health

The Major Arcana cards are embellished with birds and butterflies, which are symbols of Spirit. However, I could discern no unifying color for the Majors as I did for the suits of the Minor Arcana. The individual cards of the Major Arcana are colored according to their specific needs, although Law does seem to have a penchant for cool blues and violets. Stephanie is also the author and illustrator of “Dreamscapes: Creating Magical Angel, Faery & Mermaid Worlds with Watercolor” and “Dreamscapes: Myth & Magic”.

Card Images from the Shadowscapes Tarot

The Fool is a symbol for new beginnings and adventures, pleasure, passion, thoughtless and rash. Like the Fool, you may stand upon the precipice gazing out into the unknown; and there is either an oblivious foolishness to the terrible plunge you may experience, or else a wild spirit of adventure and great faith and knowledge in that which can and will bear you up and guide through the times to come. There are unlimited possibilities opening up for the seeker. Stephanie Pui-Mun Law has been painting fantastic otherworlds from early childhood, though her art career did not begin until 1998 when she graduated from a program of Computer Science. After three years of programming for a software company by day and rushing home to paint into the midnight hours, she left the world of typed logic and numbers, for painted worlds of dreams and the fae. Many of the cards show animal imagery – fox appears in the Fool, owl appears in the High Priestess, birds in the Lovers, Strength, the Hermit, Judgment, and the World, horses and sea creatures in the Chariot, lion in Strength, butterflies in Justice, dragon and phoenix in Temperance, fish in the Star, and many more, including foxes, lions, cats, unicorns and more. Her artwork is inspired by mythology, legend and folklore. Influenced by the art of the Impressionists, Pre-Raphaelites, Surrealists and Mother Nature herself. Through her artwork, Law takes us into the world of fantasy, where we can allow ourselves to access that sense of wonder that opens us up to the sacred in life.

For me, the Tower card has a lovely Lothlórien feel to it, which makes the devastating lightning strike all the more distressing. The only significant change in the Major Arcana is that the Death card is illustrated with a phoenix, making the rebirth aspect of this card overly explicit. There are a couple other, less significant changes too. The High Priestess rises up in a very active pose, in contrast with her usual passive posture. Also, the dual-pillar motif repeated in several of the RWS Majors is gone. This is not a problem for me, but it is an observation which may be of interest to some people. If you are not careful when getting this card in a spread about mental status, you may be constantly urged (and hear others keep talking) about mental and spiritual issues. Actually, do not do this, be calm and listen to the Universe, and be aware of what is happening to you. Silent space can be a way to heal. Keep your mind quiet. Situation and adviceThe middle of the book, which is the lion's share of it, is written by the artist and covers the individual cards. Law's lyrical explorations of the cards suggest meanings and interpretations, but they often avoid explicit explanations of many of the details in her images. With many of the details left unexplained, those who like to have things spelled out explicitly may be disappointed at times by the book. But if you prefer to explore things on your own, helped perhaps by hints and suggestive stories, then the book will serve you well. And of course if you're an experienced Tarot reader, you may just ignore the book all together. It also points out that you feel being criticized by others. Your family or friends are asking why you do it. You wish they could shut up and leave you alone.

In the early 20th century, the legendary author of the horror genre H.P. Lovecraft wrote a description of an ancient mystical book called Necronomicon by a poet as well as an adventurous explorer – the Arabs Abduh Alhazred, as a “whimsical whispers”. After that, Donald Tyson was inspired by the myth of Lovecraft – based on that book – to release the Necronomicon Tarot which is the last of Tyson’s series of three works. She ignores the summons, until one day that siren song unexpectedly explodes and fills her to the brim. Its pulse is undeniable. "Where?" she asks again, and this time the steady beat of her heart is the response. The Wands cards are mostly populated with foxes and felines, and they are painted in warm amber hues. In contrast, in a negative scheme, it shows the damage and the involvement of a losing battle. You can do your best to reduce damage and exit the battle.

It also reflects that you are overwhelmed by the challenges and responsibilities of life, leaving you no deep view. You have made so many commitments and are now looking for a chance to focus on doing well a couple of things. You also feel like you are competing against or constantly comparing yourself with others, making you feel weak and vulnerable. Work One of my favorite cards is the Fool. A female figure stands atop a pinnacle, rising up at the edge of the world, her arms outspread. A fox sits at her feet, unable to comprehend the leap of faith (and literal leap) that the Fool is about to take. The Seven of Wands reversed may imply some disturbance of money. Someone may promise and then do not transfer or pay the loan for you on time. Expected bonuses may not be paid or may be available only to certain people. If everything goes wrong, this may be the time to look for another job. People who appreciate their staffs will not treat them that way. Health The Fool has come a long way, traveled from far beyond to come to this pinnacle that rises up upon the edge of the world; and yet her journey is just about to begin. She senses this with instinctive perceptions as she rises up upon her toes, caught up in the breathless embrace of the wind in the moment before the plunge. Her heart pounds and flutters in her chest with the force of a hundred beating wings struggling to break free of the cage of her being; until she feels she must be sprouting wings from her shoulders to glide forth from that place, transformed.

In the suit of Cups it is no surprise that we see lots of fish and mermaids (and mermen) and the dominant colors are cool shades of blue.This stillness in what is eternal motion stirs awareness in the denizens of the deep. From underneath, the spirits of the ocean whisper to the sea god, and in a swirl of aquatic color, they dance to the surface to greet one whose willpower and mastery is os undeniable as to be capable of overcoming even the wild, natural fury of the seas.

This is usually due to one of two things: the fear which is too big of moving on together or simply it is not the right time to move forward. In the first case, the solution is to talk and discuss. If you are in the process of finding love, the first thing to do is step outside, get out and enjoy the fun, and let life leads you. It is counterproductive to be overthinking about the exact standards of a “perfect partner” because there will be no such person. Finance This reversed card may imply a sense of anxiety. If you are feeling anxious, try to find out what causes you to feel so, and what you can do to change it. Sometimes anxiety will be relieved by action. If you need help to deal with this feeling or to support the necessary actions, do not let your self-esteem stop you from making the request.
