It's Old May Day, and as promised, here's the Four of Pentacles from the never-completed Tarot deck, Mordred at the end of the Battle of Camlann (he is described at the end of Malory, Le Morte D'Arthur, as "leaning on his sword among a great heap of dead men").
Discerning readers of The Lion Hunters will recognize his physical depiction here as matching that of Medraut, and the VERY discerning among you will guess, or be entertained to know, that he is intentionally standing here among a great heap of dead Lleus. I am struggling a bit to remember who they all are. I *think* the one with his arm over the rock is Gwyn from Alan Garner's The Owl Service. The one with the flowing golden locks is certainly Lleu Llaw Gyffes of the Fourth Branch of the Mabinogion. I *think* that the one on the right is an early gender-fluid boy-magician character of mine named Lleu Enle, and the shiny-haired guy in the lower left is Lleu ap Artos.
I also have always felt that they might not actually be dead, but posing. Lleu Llaw Gyffes just doesn't look like he's taking this seriously.
Happy birthday, my marksman!
