#simorgh

[someonefromsometown]

Two cards in one day. This one is based on a Persian myth of the same name. The net cost being {7} is a reference to the Seven Valleys the birds had to cross to reach Simorgh.

For those of you who also play Yugioh that name may seem familiar, as a boss monster and archetype are based on the same myth.

The art is Habiballah of Sava, "The Concourse of the Birds," folio 11r from a Mantiq al-Tair (Language of the Birds) manuscript of Farid al-Din 'Attar, ca. 1600. Iran

I may return to this mechanical idea soon, as I've been thinking about trying to recreate the Princess from Slay the Princess and this idea fits her like a glove.

Monster girl October tarot day 27: The Simorgh from Conference of the Birds as the King of Wands!

The Simurgh/Simorgh appears in a lot of Persian literature, most often being portrayed as a kind of dog-bird hybrid or as similar to a phoenix. She will raise heroes or offer her feathers as a way for protagonists to request her aid in some of these stories. However, I liked the portrayal in Conference of the Birds where a group of birds (each representing a human weakness) decide the legendary, wise Simorg will be their king and travel far to reach her. However when the 30 birds remaining on the quest make it to the spot the Simurgh is said to be, all they find is a lake where their own reflection is shown back to them (there's a pun here too! Directly translated, Si= 30, murgh= birds). The king of wands is a card that suggests leadership, inspiration, and the ability to manifest your goals!

Simorgh by Meghdad Asadi

Simorgh is an animated chorographical piece that incorporates Persian music, calligraphic art and ornamental design to tell the traditional Persian story of a life that deals with the fragility of self-worth.
