The Dream Keeper

Equivalent to the King of Swords. War Deities are usually associated with violent, aggressive animals ( Ares with dogs and boars, and Sekhet , the Egyptian War Goddess, associated with Lions, for example) so I thought: what other animals, besides humans, wage war? Army Ants , of course!

Wasn't able to come up with an alternative for this one. But, y'know, I like this one the best so far.

An illustration from my upcoming poetry book. This one took me nine tries. 

My Tarot's equivalent to the Fool. Yes, my self-esteem issues are glaringly obvious in that comparison. Enjoy!

The Oracle of Skulls, equivalent to the Queen of Cups, depicts a little girl positioned triumphantly upon her bed, and astride the Bogeyman. Neither one of them seems terribly upset at a change of roles in the usual relationship, as they march onwards into the dreamworlds.

The Four Of Guns Tarot card, equivalent to the Four Of Swords in the standard deck. So is she blissfully unaware of the fire consuming her tree house..........or celebrating her last night on Earth, not allowing her enemies victory?

Two more Tarot Cards are done!

Funny. All I could think when drawing the Eight of Blades (my tarot's equivalent to the "Eight of Wands") was: LOOK OUT, MOTHMAN! SHE'S GOT A NET!
