I Told You Not to Incinerate the Neighbors

I tell my Great Dane not to bark at the neighbors all the time, and that was the inspiration for this title. I painted this based on a photomanipulation I created (all elements from Shutterstock).

Whisper Tarot 10 - The Wheel

The Wheel (commonly known as the Wheel of Fortune, but “Wheel of Fortune” wouldn’t fit on my ribbon) represents change–constant change. Life goes on, the wheel turns, and changes happen every day. The Wheel can also represent karma. What you send out will come back to you. It encourages the seeker to have faith in the Universe and the changes It brings every day. All elements courtesy of…

Whisper Tarot 1 - The Magician

If there’s one thing the Magician has, it’s power. But they have more than one thing. All four suits are placed on the table, and the infinity symbol rests just above his head. The suits represent spiritual, physical, mental, and emotional resources the seeker requires to manifest their dream. If The Magician appears in your reading, you have everything you need to fulfill your dreams and achieve…

Whisper Tarot 15 - The Lovers

The Devil usually depicts a man and woman (often The Lovers) chained to a podium where The Devil sits. The card represents attachment, addiction, possibly the seeker’s dark side and the negative forces that constrain them. Not always a negative card, it can represent a bond between two people, sexuality, or even the seeker’s wild side. Be careful, though. Keep those attachments and encounters…

Whisper Tarot--Two of Cups

The Two of Cups represents relationships, partnerships, and deep connections. The card often depicts a romantic couple, but the partnership doesn’t have to be romantic love, as shown by the two children on the card.

Whisper Tarot 16 - The Tower

Not all change is good, but if it doesn’t kill you, it makes you stranger stronger. The Tower represents major chaos and upheaval. This could be any traumatic event, from a death in the family to health issues, even a natural disaster. Perhaps in a moment of clarity (represented by the lightning bolt), you realize you have been lying to yourself about something, and now it is time to face the…

Keep in mind, we’re all responsible for our own actions and will be held accountable. Thanks to Alexandra Mueller for the image of the sky.All other stock…
