The
King of Crosses
When
I drew cards for my main character this was the one that sat in her
future. There must be something significant that I draw him twice in
one day.
He
is a sexy beast, a blonde heartthrob of the Brad Pitt variety though
the lightness of his eyes is scary…and there are three big black
spiders at the bottom left corner of the card. This makes me think of
the saying that something nasty this way comes – let’s hope
there’s not a knock on the door tomorrow that announces a man
demanding money with menaces!
There
is beauty in this card but I don’t like the authority of the large
cross that is hanging free at the front of the card, in a threatening
position…and let’s not forget the spiders. No, I don’t like the
arrival of this king and I’m glad that I’ll be out all day
tomorrow – so if they want me they won’t get me in.

Knight
of Crosses
Oh
he looks sad. He’s an angel but I’m not sure if he’s a
graveyard statue or not because he seems to be wearing real fabric
cape/shoulder-wrappings with a huge cross around his neck. It’s
funny but I’ve never really thought of the knight and King of
Swords as negative but these last two cards have given off that
sense of threat, fear and resignation. There are small splashes of
blood around but they seem smeared on the card rather than the model
– he’s crying blood too.
If
this card usually denotes bravery, courage and strength then this
young man is just back from the war front, wondering what it was all
for, and asking – was it worth it?
The
cross is overstated, in your face, and absolutely in the forefront.
So what does all this mean to me? Well, I wouldn’t be allowed to go
into that on a forum but I think it’s asking me to delve deeper
into what makes me tick; what motivates me? What are my ambitions, my
morals and my justifications? I demand an essay on that – give me
1,000 words by Monday!
