I also really like image on the the "backs" of the Gilded. Unfortunately sometimes the backs of decks are overlooked in their imagery but this was one of the things that I was very taken with when I first looked at the Gilded website, in that this image is also reflected in the cards and is not like an afterthought.
Like the idea of the crystal ball connection with the jewel in the middle of the 'sun'. I did not associate the lattice screen to a confessional (as I have never seen one close up), but it did make me think of a screen that slides back to reveal the mystery of the cards - or something like that.
When I look at the 'sun' design, it reminds me of the old fashioned way of drawing a 'compass rose' on older maps. I have read something recently about the design of the compass rose but for the life of me cannot remember where and the details at the moment. No doubt it will pop into my mind unexpectedly and will post more when I remember! LOL
*edited to add: thinking about the compass rose idea - I also make the connection to this that the cards may offer new directions or insights.
