Wealth. Art by Maria Surducan, from Timemongers.

UPRIGHT: comfort, nurture, prosperity

REVERSED: poverty, see also: Greed

THE STORY: Wealth creates the context for comfort, but also culture, science and education. It allows for personal development and philosophical contemplation – but it also facilitates the fallacy of infinite growth.

The white flame motif, representing desire, is reprised in The Wish, Love, Power and Immortality cards.

Rebellion. Art by Jackson Nathan, from the Etherea Illumination Deck.

#8: REBELLION Sign: Taurus Gift: Individuality Shadow: Illusion of Safety

Gift: Individuality Beyond the shallow depths of the man-made world of structure lies this beautiful gift of true individuality, a rebellion that transforms the masses! You represent the fringes of society, filled with creative freethinkers. Not everyone will understand you (or even try to), because it takes courage and inner trust to see past the veil of the physical world and the status quo. It takes a leap of faith to venture down this path, which is why the majority stays firmly in place and so few people veer outside of it. Sameness is "safe" but utterly uninspiring. As more people dare to carve a new path, slowly but surely the rest of the population with wake up to a new possibility as well. You embody a spontaneous sense of individuality that cannot be duplicated. Creativity lives through you and you are its divine channel.

Shadow: Illusion of Safety The frequency of this shadow keeps you locked within the relative comfort of the mass majority; it tricks you into believing that the path worth taking is heavily treaded - predictable, safe, and common. Here, your individuality (and freedom) is lost to the collective. Staying committed to a truth that does not belong to you keeps you small and hollow. At this stage in our evolution, we're seeing the systems around us fail: education, government, corporations. Only the few truly prevail, whilst the foundational body (the majority) keeps these systems intact, despite their inefficiency in providing a useful structure for all involved. Breaking from the herd threatens the continuation of these programs; it rattles our comforts but pays off in dividends. Question(s) to always ask: Am I playing it safe, or am I truly alive? Are the expectations of others shaping my life and my decisions?

Themes: individuality + innovation + rebellion + freedom
