A white dove flies towards us and dominates the top of the card; it's face on with wings outstretched and emanating from it are rays of light. The bottom of the card is dark, a dark tangle with the outline of dark birds.. The birds and the dove look as if they have just burst free from the darkness and are now heading to the light..
This card is one of those that just seems like a very obvious depiction of this arcana.. It screams freedom and awakening to me. It's as if the dove has heard a call in the darkness, has seen the chink of light above it and has burst forth, leaving the old behind and taking the first steps (or wing beats) towards the rest of it's life, a new life..
The card's number is 20 which reduces to 2 so to me this card is a relation of The High Priestess; it's a pause and then action, it's a looking within to see what you really want before making the decision to listen to your inner voice and go for it.
To me, this card says leave the past behind and decide what you want to leave there then don't look back, take the step into the next phase of your life and know that you've done the right thing.
