I really, really, really miss The Caribbean Sea…
Happy equinox my dear creatures of the night!
I choose this magical day to present you all ‘The High Priestess’ My piece for the upcoming @78tarot deck. Using as a model my dear friend and amazingly gorgeous @mahafsoun
The theme of this 78tarot deck is ‘Ecological’. Quite interesting theme and also necessary.
It is a fact, our disconnection and lack of empathy towards our mother Gaia is the root of an endless number of negative and destructive behaviors that stand out in our society. We tend to see the earth as something that belongs to us, when in fact, we are the ones who belong to the earth.
I have looked for a way to connect the theme of this year and this sad moment for Mother Earth, with the piece of The High Priestess. (One of my favorite Tarot cards)
The High Priestess tells us about the hidden knowledge, I think that much of this sacred wisdom comes precisely from the depths of the earth, from the depths of the being. I have tried to represent in a metaphorical way, how we all remain connected to 'the source’ and to this collective consciousness, with the branches that emerge from the center of the drawing. So, we could all have access to this knowledge, we just have to look deeper in ourselves.
The symbols that appear in the arms of the priestess and around her, are small winks that suggest part of the knowledge that she herself possesses. One of her hands is also covering one of her eyes, to remind us that sometimes, we must close our eyes and listen to our intuition.

“There are several species of Hellebore. The name comes from the Greek words ‘elein’ (to injure) and 'bora’ (food), indicating that Helleborus is poisonous. In some belief systems, it’s been believed to be a purgative, sometimes of bad things generally, used for things like protecting livestock from evil spells & (in powdered form) for invisibility. According to herb lore, the roots of the hellebore plant are are used to treat melancholy diseases & madness.
The original name for Hellebore was
"Melampodium.” According to the Greek historian Pliny, the plant was named for the soothsayer Melampus who used it to cure depression in ancient times. On a happier note & in spite of poisonous nature of the plant, it is often called the “Christmas Rose” or “Christ herbe” because it blooms in winter.
