MeeWah pretty much nailed what's going on in my HP. There's something there about personal gnosis and quantum indeterminacy, as well; notice that the swirling rainbows are focused on the overlapping eye in the middle - her third eye, depending on how you think about it.
The notes from the brainstorming session with my boyfriend say:
H. Pstess: quantum entanglement
(self-dupe overlapping)
moon
gnostic Divine Experience
(seductive)
There was going to be a kind of veil swooshing around the two of her but it made things too visually confusing. I had to find a pretty sideways approach to this one and the High Priest; I've been in a church about ten times in my entire life, so the Christian allegories floating around these two cards really didn't speak to me.
As to the possible Void Court - I still haven't decided, though the desire to see it all finished is making one less and less likely! The 0 is about absence-of-suitness (pre-Big Bang monobloc/raw Chaos/etc); the Court would be about absence-of-person or absence-of-facet-of-self. Cards for the ghosts in your life; cards for very particular kinds of absence and lack (and possible chaotic raw potential). As with all of my additions to the traditional 78, I will encourage people to discard them if they don't think they work. (Thinking about them in that context gives me another reason to do them for balance: these moody, pensive cards will balance the general silliness of the 99 of each suit!) (Speaking of sharing process... *grin* )
And yeah, the Courts are generally confounding! I've done all the quick and easy cards long ago; in the last couple of months before the gallery showing I'm down to all the ones I put off until later. Later's now; my to-do list is down to one more Major, seven Courts, and six extras that I can't touch until the traditional 78 are on their way to the printer!
As always, thanks for the kind words, folks! Back to Illustrator for me; I had a mini-vacation after the Priestess and I need to get a card done before I sleep tonight.
