Giant's Tarot - Balancing Twins

Tue Jul 21, 2009, 8:15 AM
A couple of summers ago I painted two cards for a collaborative deck of Tarot cards based on the Norse Giants, The Moon and The Sun or Manni and Sunna respectively. Now, finally, the decks have been printed and I received my contributers copy through the post this morning!

The deck itself is stunning, a collection of styles, each card a unique portayal of the Jotun, a perfect way to get to understand the Giants of the Nordic myths just a little better. I'm very much looking forward to working with the cards and the beings depicted, and I invite you to take a look at the artworks which made this deck which i feel honoured to be a part of.

Manni and Sunna are also depicted in my DeviantArt Gallery, of course.

I glow with Pride today!

And it struck me as I held these cards in my hands, that I couldn't have chosen a better pair to depict. My life often reflects twins, twinned energies... and the siblings who draw our greatest sources of light through the heavens are perfect reflections of this. The unconscious, emotional Moon, the rational, joyous Sun, my life is built of the balance point between art-creativity and reason-philosophy, the Sun feeds me and the moon makes me dance. I knew there was a reason I was drawn to them, and its not just that they fascinate me.
