- I - Le Bateleur - The Magician -
I'll start with the project I'm (still working on), it's a project I've been wanting to do for a long while and I decided to use Inktober for it. This is my take on the Tarot deck. The first week was spent on planning and figuring out how I could approach this with little research and still keep some symbolism of the original Marseille deck. We'll see how it goes.
The Fool's journey starts by meeting the Magician. He represents Skillfulness, Dedication, Communication, but also Overestimation and Failure. This card will give you courage and confidence in any conversation. (If you're like me, it's specially useful during phone calls).
I find it fortunate that the journey starts with this one, because it was after recently speaking to so many amazing artists that I decided to pick up a project and work on it from beginning to end, no matter what my brain decides to opine on. So this project is also my journey, that's why I didn't start by illustrating the Fool, I don't know who I'll be once the journey's over.
(Also, please keep in mind this is my interpretation based on a bit of research and how I see each card. There are infinite ways to interpret them all and it's always interesting learning about what a card says to different people.)
