Blah, blah, blah...

Ever get that skin crawly feeling? Lately, I've been suffering from it a lot. I'm not sure why I'm even writing this other than the fact that I haven't been doing much art over the past week or so because well, I have the cooties...Bronchitis. I have absolutely no motivation whatsoever...it's a chore to watch t.v. Ack. Anyways, I'm desperate to grab my color pencils and my journal yet all I can make myself do is blog hop. Blah, blah, blahhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!!

What Tarot Card Am I?

You are Strength

Courage, strength, fortitude. Power not arrested in the act of judgement, but passing on to further action, sometimes obstinacy.

This is a card of courage and energy. It represents both the Lion's hot, roaring energy, and the Maiden's steadfast will. The innocent Maiden is unafraid, undaunted, and indomitable. In some cards she opens the lion's mouth, in others she shuts it. Either way, she proves that inner strength is more powerful than raw physical strength. That forces can be controlled and used to score a victory is very close to the message of the Chariot, which might be why, in some decks, it is Justice that is card 8 instead of Strength. With strength you can control not only the situation, but yourself. It is a card about anger and impulse management, about creative answers, leadership and maintaining one's personal honor. It can also stand for a steadfast friend.
