Onyx
The Deviant Moon Tarot is not populated with an abundance of characters that can be called human but the Knight of Wands is one that bears very little resemblance and the only features that he has which link him to humanity may be his jaw, mouth, lips and nose.
Is he wearing any battle armor? It does not appear to be the case. Here we see an image of what looks to be an insect riding upon another insect. Yet are not all insects by their nature armored? Looking at the image it is impossible to find where one begins and the other ends. It does appear that he is in a saddle as his brown body is resting on part of the armored back of the mount. The question is about the legs that stick out of the side of that armor plating. I think that those belong to our Knight but seem too deep into the mounts body. Unless this is all one single creature, which with this deck is an option. I love the seemingly out of place violet wings on this Knight. The rest of him is armored and tough yet he has delicate wings that are nearly transparent. Could these wings fly him away if trouble overwhelms him? Does this Knight know how to retreat?
This Knight has arms like a mantis, truly one of the more intimidating insects to me, and holds thorny wand that will serve him in battle. He just looks like he is looking for a fight and will find one where ever he goes. He is full of life and energy. His eyes always looking forward he rarely looks back.
This card clearly carries the theme of nature and the vital force that it can be. He is a representation of every dangerous bug, spider, wasp and bee that we find that attacks and stings (yes, there is a stinger on the mount) when there seems to be a challenge to home or colony. He is another expression of passion in the nature that is found in the grassy ground we step on every day. There is a fight for survival and threats all around for those who inhabit them.
