#tarot card edits

The Fool

upright: innocence, free spirit, new beginnings, potential. reversed: being taken advantage of, inconsideration.

Another tarot card edit, this time for Aspen. They're my glamour bard / archfey warlock who was Pied Piper'd into the feywild as a child. During their untold years there, they learned bardic magic and made a warlock pact with Fin (as in "the end"), the god of death, who lives in the feywild.

Eventually, Fin had use for Aspen on the material plane, so he sent them there. They appeared in the middle of an aspen grove with absolutely zero memories. When someone came across them and asked for their name, they panicked and said the name of the trees that surrounded them.

Aspen is utterly unaware that they even are a warlock, believing all of their magic to be bardic in nature. Fin guides Aspen's actions through a "broken" compass that they wear around their neck, believing it to be their lucky charm. In reality it is a talisman of their warlock pact.

Given those tidbits, it's pretty obvious why I chose the fool as Aspen's card. Not only are does their personality and actions fit that of the fool (innocence, a free spirit), but their story does too (new beginnings, being taken advantage of).

The visual of Fin controlling Aspen's actions through the use of marionette strings has long lived in my head, and I'm so glad I was able to finally pull it off!! I will admit that in terms of framing and composition, this is one of my favorite renders I've ever done.

It's a really straightforward one:

Max is the Devil, keeping all of the nerds in line. It's willed into existence and enforced by peer pressure - Red Eyes/Red Glow are a substitute for loose chains from the original card.

The Moon

upright: intuition, uncertainty, confusion, secrets reversed: fear, deception, anxiety, misunderstanding

[right-side-up version of the reversed version under the cut]

Of course I had to do a tarot card for Carrion, but I wasn't sure what one to do until my dear beloved friend Angel (who happens to play Valeska, the little warlock who has completely disarmed Carrion) suggested the moon.

Not only is this card perfect for Carrion, I love it because I get to play with and subvert the typical idea of a moon + transformation combo, a werewolf. (Carrion's transformation isn't tied to the moon, but yk.) For example, his "monstrous" form is pictured with the new moon, and his "normal" form is pictured with the full moon, which is the reverse of the typical werewolf lore. Which is fitting given that Carrion's "monstrous" form is the hidden secret.

The meanings of the reversed card are just so fucking perfect for Carrion and his transformation. He's dead set on killing his former mentor who left him for dead in chains. But the whole thing is at heart a huge misunderstanding, because Theodore really didn't have any other option. (He was duty- and oath-bound to protect the rest of the Order, and given that Carrion Reverence had just attacked a member of the Order, he had to choose between Reverence and the many other people he was sworn to protect. It wasn't an easy decision, to the point where he literally lost his divine magic because of regret from leaving Reverence behind, but from the perspective of a Knight Commander, it was the right one.)

And the fear and anxiety are pretty self-explanatory. People are afraid of Carrion's transformation, but he's maybe even more afraid of their reactions. He doesn't want to be experimented on or killed or locked away somewhere. While he hated his transformation at first because he thought it made him a monster (and he still carries more internalized self-loathing than he'd ever admit out loud), now he sees it as a tool, a weapon, a way to protect himself and keep himself safe from anyone who might want to hurt or capture him. (Ignoring the fact that without the transformation no one would want to do those things to him...)

Supernatural season 1 + the first half of the major arcana (explanations below the cut)

0. The Fool: Sam

Kind of self-explanatory. Sam is the Hero at the start of his journey, knowing nothing yet. The Fool upright represents innocence, youth, and new beginnings. This is him at the end of 1.01 Pilot where he lays down in bed to see Jess burning on the ceiling.

1. The Magician: Dean

The Magician upright means that you have all the skills necessary to be successful. It's a time in your life when you have power. About other people, it can mean someone who impresses you or someone you can learn from. It also means someone crafty and intelligent, who's creative and able to utilize the resources at hand to accomplish their goals. For the Sam-centric storyline of season 1, Dean is that someone. He's a major part of pulling Sam back into hunting. I chose this scene from 1.02 for him just because I watched the episode recently and I think he's adorable here -- and in stark contrast to how he appears in later seasons.

2. The High Priestess: Jess

Upright, the High Priestess represents personal clarity and wisdom. Reversed, she represents ambiguity, a disconnect with the inner self, and secrets not yet uncovered. Jess's relationship with Sam in 1.01 Pilot is one based on only partial understanding; she doesn't know about hunting or monsters or who he is (and at this point neither does he). Her death only complicates things. Sam doesn't know why, and his journey is driven by the need to avenge her and Mary's death and to find answers.

3. The Empress: Mary

Opinions are divided on whether The Empress symbolizes femininity and sensuality or femininity and maternal energy. In some interpretations The Empress can represent the mother and The Emperor the father. The Empress upright represents fertility, in this case motherhood, and also beauty and nurturing. Upright the card encourages the querent to trust themselves and to listen to their intuition. This scene is from 1.09 Home when Mary's spirit appears to save Sam from another ghost and to apologize to him, though he doesn't yet know why.

4.

The Emperor represents authority, foundation, law and order. All things associated with the father. Reversed, he represents someone who is too controlling and inflexible, unable to see another point of view. He is purely logical and devoid of human instinct. In John's case, the boys see their father as a rigid, austere authority figure who seems to always have the answers, but at the same time is leading them on a wild goose chase, sending them on case after case as they try to find him. He's obsessed with avenging Mary's death, but he has moments where he breaks the mold, surprising the boys when he's able to be tolerant of Sam's powers, when he admits that they're right, when he "wastes" a bullet from the Colt to kill a vampire that's about to kill Sam in this scene in 1.20 Dead Man's Blood. And yet he remains predictable: Dean knows that Azazel is possessing his father in 1.22 because John wouldn't be proud of him.

5. The Heirophant: Missouri

The Heirophant upright represents spiritual wisdom in the self, and a mentor or guide in others to focus the Hero on their journey. Missouri is a tangible example to the boys that Sam's power doesn't necessarily make him evil, an idea that the Winchesters are all concerned about for more than just the first season. In 1.09 Home, she's hiding John from them at his request, surprised that even with Sam's powers as strong as they are, he couldn't sense his father there. I chose this specific scene because of the visual of the Heirophant fading from John to Missouri: John is their teacher, but Missouri has just as valuable a lesson for them to learn.

6. The Lovers: Sam and Dean

Not Wincest. If you feel strongly that it is about Wincest to you and want to engage with this edit as such, do ya thang, but it's not my intention as the creator. Rather than necessarily romantic or sexual relationships, the Lovers are about harmony, choice, and accountability. The Hero, halfway through his journey, is no longer innocent, and the consequences of his choices are his own. Reversed, the Lovers represent disharmony, dishonesty, unhealthy relationships, and an inability to find balance. In 1.16 Shadow the boys have finally found their father, but just as they escape from Meg and the Daevas, Dean realizes that John needs to stay away from them for their own safety, while Sam, even despite his issues with John, objects. The brothers are on different wavelengths here, and the camerawork in this specific scene reflects how they're experiencing the story on totally different planes.

7. The Chariot: Baby

This one is also self-explanatory. The Chariot represents forward movement, and carries the Hero on his journey. The car being a character unto itself is not only a slice of Americana but a manifestation of the unspoken main character of the show, which is the relationship between the brothers. This scene from 1.01 Pilot literally represents the start of the journey.

8. Strength: Sam

The Strength card is what it says on the label, both physical and emotional strength, and all the traits that go hand in hand: bravery, courage, facing fear of the unknown and being gentle with the self.

However, Strength has an interesting history. In old versions of the deck, Strength is represented by Heracles beating two lions into submission, from the Greek stories of his Twelve Labors. When tarot became a thing more close to what we know now in 14th century Italy, the animal and the beast were symbols of the Devil (put a pin in this part of the journey until season 4). In that time the thing to do was to beat the devil (put a pin in that until season 13), a violent display of man triumphing over nature. Later, Heracles became an unnamed female figure, and the two lions became one. Instead of man vs. nature, the card became taming the lion, acceptance of the beast and acceptance of parts of the self which are unpleasant or horrifying.

In 1.05 Bloody Mary, Sam has been keeping a secret from Dean that he saw visions of Jess's death before it happened. He uses that secret to lure out the titular monster so that she can be defeated. Though he wars with his own nature, he comes to accept it as something he can use to achieve his goals.

9. The Hermit: Azazel in the nursery

Well, he's literally hiding from them. But the Hermit also represents the Hero succumbing to parts of their life yet unconfronted along their journey. Reversed, he represents an individual isolated from the outside world, a recluse. He can also represent that the Hero isn't taking the time to self-reflect, constantly pushing but not considering the self. The Hermit can be a person but also the issue of the Hero hitting a wall and realizing their journey is far from over. Azazel is a force to be reckoned with for the first two seasons and the Winchesters all experience tunnel vision when it comes to hunting him down. In this scene in 1.21 Salvation he disappears from the nursery before Sam can shoot him, then reappears in the flames in the window seemingly to taunt them. For as much as the brothers have learned and done, there's still more left to the story.

10. Wheel of Fortune: Azazel as John

The Wheel is the perpetual motion of life. It has no agenda or intent, it just is, and while it does not literally represent death, it does represent the death of the life previously lived and the constant metamorphosis of the Hero. While it is often taken to mean a good future when upright and bad luck when reversed, the Wheel is not that simple. It forces the Hero to make choices, good or bad, and reap the consequences, much like Azazel in 1.22 Devil's Trap forces the brothers each to choose between letting him go to save their father, or killing him while he's possessing John. It's a central feature of Supernatural that when the heroes finally confront the villains, they and the audience realize that they were always going to end up here. For that reason I chose to display it as a card that exists both upright and reversed. The Wheel of Fortune, simply, is.
