Completed this afternoon.

Intriguing. I hope you're going to let us know what all those symbols mean. (I know some of them.) Also interesting that there are really 3 wheels....

I really love these, especially the World and the Ace of Wands. I was trying to work out what molecule was spiraling down behind that wand! It's a gorgeous hippy-trippy psychadelic deck. I'd buy one, for sure!

They're not LSD molecules, honest!!
They're more like photoshop custom shape molecules LOL!
Glad you like these

Rodney - I'm glad you picked up on the three wheels thing. I wanted to convey the idea of wheels within wheels. The whole apparatus turns at once but the inner wheels may not move at the same speed as the outer. The arrows are also self motored, meaning they may move erratically and in different directions.

Fortune can be multi-layered. I've included the mars and venus symbols on the wheel to symbolise the appearance of a man or a woman in your life but the wheels within the wheel lead to a huge number of permutations. Sometimes the appearance of a man in your like can lead to growth (if with the tree) or he may have a dangerous toxic effect (if he lines up with the skull and crossbones). I chose the symbols arbitarily - form your own intuitive conclusions as to what they may mean

There were two inspirations here - I've been working with Lenormand cards which are all about combinations. Some of the symbols included come from the Lenormand cards.

The other inspiration was a CD cover. I have a recording of Orff's Carmina Burana and the sleeve shows a fantastic illustration of Fortuna standing in the centre of a multi layerered/ringed wheel. I'll scan the cover when I get the chance so you can compare.

nice. particularly love the forms in the high priestess!

Thanks Blue Fusion. I've just completed the Empress. She's in a similar vein to the High Priestess. I've attached her below.

Beautiful card Chris! I love how the elements are all there, just mixed up a bit. The Empress' reflection in the water is the eagle. The crescent moon and its reflection almost become a chair/throne. Cool.

So you're gonna have this all ready to go by the end of the year, right?

Rodney

I don't think it will be ready that quickly!! I only got so much done this week because I took a week off !

Glad you like the Empress Rodney - you got her in one.

The only card that didn't click to it's origins is the Queen of Swords, The rest don't click they blast.
Your work is delightful to the senses, please keep posting .
