On a desolate moorland, a woman stands alone before a huge, leering beast. She holds an open book in one hand and what appears to be a glowing stone in the other.
The woman is small and appears frail before the terrifying beast, and yet she is holding her ground and looks at him without fear. Knowledge is power, and the magic spoken from the grimoire she reads holds the beast at bay. It is however a fragile hold, and if she slips up or hesitates the beast will overcome her.
Has she summoned the beast to do her bidding? Or is she trying to defeat him (and yet, not destroy him)?
This cards follows the RWS theme quite closely with the idea of the feminine controlling the masculine. The meek overcoming the strong. The glowing stone suggests the notion of 'shedding light' on something, perhaps facing up to our darkside and taking control of it.
