firemaiden
The usual wandering face of God in his cloak and crook (Hermit) is replaced by the Crone. Within this fearsome portrayal of a gape-mouthed hag, I see (but no one else might) at least three other figures. The right eye (our right) of the hag is also the partially veiled face of another woman, and slightly below her, yet another, entirely enshrouded figure, much like the Hermit we expect. Another figure, pope-like seems to surge from the bottom of the scene.
The entire hag-structure herself ressembles a *tower* whose stone stairs wind up from the murky depths on the right. Above her is a kind of light bridge, and above the bridge, a blinding (lunar?) light, and a sort of ominous white eye.
If you tilt the card on its side, there is a arched and vaulted doorway, leading down... down...down, God knows where...
