All this, and I was prepared to view the hoop as, simply, the artist's concession to the traditional shape (vesica piscis--sp?) of the Le Monde imagedadsnook2000 said:The hoop has meaning, of course. Superficially, I see it as representing wholeness, completeness, a cycle that is always changing but also always part of itself. This is quite in keeping with the card's traditional meanings.
On another level, we have to ask ourselves, "Just what is this? Where did it come from? Who put it there?" These are good questions. They bring a type of "other presence" into the card that only makes sense when you relate the card image to being a Tarot card -- it has to make sense to humans. The hoop is "us" in a sense, those who mirror nature's cycles with their own part-of-nature and part-of-humanness cycle. We are here, then not here, we come and go, we learn and grow. Obviously the card may suggest to some that we also "re-cycle" just as the plants seem to.
Yes, I hadn't thought about it this way but you're absolutely right. Thank you!dadsnook2000 said:So, the hoop definitely has its place in this card. A clever way for the artist to place people into the card.

This is from The Golden Tarot by Kat Black. It is a collage of early Renaissance art, I believe, and has completely taken me by surprise. I tend to like light colors, pastels, and jeweltones, and her deck has deep colors, and lots of dark hues, yet it has captivated me so far. I am enjoying learning about it in our little lessons here.
I hope you enjoy the picture, and thank you for asking.

I am being kind of lazy / selfish but It makes it more fun to see the card you are descibeing kind of gives a deepeer under usanding of it.
