My impressions of this card...
The card that starts the deck depicts a circular wheel in the center with four Kokopellis of four different colors, presumably depicting the four directions. The circle seems to be resting at the crest of a mountain peak. Around the wheel, at the four points of a compass, are a brown bear on the left/west, a hawk of some kind on the right/east, a white wolf or fox on the bottom/south, and an antelope (or somesuch) on the top/north. The sky is a fluid blend of colors implying clouds or perhaps the northern lights. Stars are apparent in breaks in these flowing colors. There's also a Kokopelli in the center of the circle, playing his flute. The flow of his music appears to become the mountains!
A beautiful card, as are all in this deck (in my opinion). I'm reminded of spirit guides, of nature, of the four directions, four elements (fire, earth, air and water). The card has the words "oneness, inner growth, contemplation" on the bottom.
Possible questions for us to consider.
- How does this card compare to the Fool in tarot?
- Is it the beginning of a journey? Or something else entirely?
- How do our impressions of the card resonate with the "book meaning", which I have intentionally NOT looked up yet.
- Anything else?
Please discuss freely, either your own impressions, or reactions to the book, or other. This is just to get things rolling. I've only had the deck a month or so, and am certainly no expert ... we're all in this together ...
Let the study begin.
