Hi Everyone,
I sure am enjoying viewing everyone's cool imagery for this deck and the comments shared. It is a great pleasure to be a part of this collaborative with you all!!
I kind of hurt my back being (obsessively) on the computer too much so must curtail my time for a wee bit, but did want to share my 2nd card: XXI World. Hope it will work for the deck...have been sensing Gaia's wrath (on humanity) a tad more than usual lately and so that came thru in this World card. Here is the write-up while its still fresh in my head.

XXI The World
The World encompasses our everything; food, shelter, body, mind & heart; our existence resides on this little blue ball. Our World is the primal mother Gaia and it sure feels like lately she is getting fed up with abuses of the laws of nature and is wrecking havoc on us. In this card, Gaia appears beautiful, timeless and fit to kick some serious butt. A snake; (symbolic of ancient Goddess culture and the life/death/rebirth cycle) is coiled like a whip, ready to strike. In Gaia’s other hand she holds earth (fuse lit), while a primitive creature grabs for it. The ancient Roman column represents Democracy while a more modern looking column refers to its evil offshoot Capitalism; which most often is in direct opposition to our role as guardians of the World. Our collective greed and lack of foresight may be a ticking time bomb. In the background a Twilight Zone vortex swallows up our sense of time and space and the pathway leads off to nothingness.



Thanks, I'm sure looking forward to seeing all the cards as the deck evolves. So exciting! Xo
