Winterchild
I do not relate the 8s to justice. I relate them to the strength card. So for me, I look at this butterfly hanging on the sword with it's wings folded around its body. Is it protecting itself? or is it just caught unaware? below it are 7 more swords ready to pierce it, which obviously can do incredible damage. surely the butterfly knows this. so what is the butterfly thinking? what is it planning to do?
Yes I do too usually but as they have chosen to have strength at 11 here, I went with that, but I also had a similar few to your above when considering strength as 8....
With this deck I haven't been consciously taking on the traditional meanings because I wanted to see what came through.... so far there is always something of the traditional in what I see, albeit often rather obfuscated!
