The Mary El Sun and Moon cards have changed the way I look at the Sun and Moon cards in Tarot. Here, they seem to be two parts of a single image.
Visually, this card is magnificent. Indigo and silver… The teardrops at the end of the rays from the face’s eyes remind me of the traditional Moon card – about the only feature! I wonder if there is intent to the symbols on those rays?
The water is all around this card. Every aspect is touched by it. The face appears to be in terror, or possibly mad, lit by the soft silver light of the Unconscious.
Beside the face is the head of the vulture. A vulture can be considered the symbol of the Goddess and the Moon, Isis. This is the feminine counterpart to the solar masculine.
There is a Mesoamerican feel to the depiction of the Sun and Moon cards. More on that on the “Sun” thread….
