Dang! There are only 30 odd LWB entries posted here so far, and down here in "downunder" it's already the 30th of June ! So I'm only just scraping in by the seat of my pants...

Justice.
With crooked blade and tampered scale, this One-Eyed Justice stands on shakey ground. Through the ever shifting landscape of Tarot's history, the Triumphal procession has seen Justice in seventh, eighth, nineth, eleventh and twentieth place; where's the justice in that? But after putting regional preferences aside, and be it with or without blindfold, OR the meddling of esotericists from de Mellet onward, her mission remains the same: to balance the energies of cause and effect; the universal agent of karma.

Four of Coins.
Many interpretations for this card refer to a legacy or inheritance, so for this design I decided to use the Royal Maundy Money given to my Grandfather in 1905, which conveniently came in a little set of four coins! If my process has been correct, they should be life size on the finished card. 'Hold fast to that which is good', but beware of becoming too much of a hoarder. So remember to 'blow' a good proportion of what loot comes your way, so as to keep that energy flowing. The flags remind us that Coins correlate with AIR, just as currency 'circulates', and after all, coins are 'round'.

Bio.
I have taken part in the last two TCF decks, but no bios were included in the LWBs, so just have a gander at my profile on the Aeclectic Tarot forum.
