Unity
Least Favourite Card - UNITY!
Q#1: Emotional Atmosphere: No particular impression. Muddled, messed and not particularly unified. The colours jar and clash instead of blending smoothly, and the strokes are harsh and scratch-like instead of smooth like the other cards, which is inappropriate for the title. (see Ekstasis, for example). Must've been a dry-on-dry painting, with a poor technique compared to the other wonderful cards.
Q#2: Physical Manifestation: Mere colours, perhaps that of a deer's antlers, or a poorly drawn being or tree rising from out of the mist, with a eerie aura around it.
Q#3: Symbols: It's composed of lines and 'bright spots' so there isn't much to say here.
Q#4: Spiritual Characteristics: A blank feeling of non-relatedness and non-connection. (Ironic, since it's Unity!)
Q#5: Least appealing: The purple slashes combined with yellow. All the slash-like strokes that make up the picture, in fact. Painful on the eye and the spirit.
Q#6: Anything you like: Yuck. Well, maybe the bright spots of light and the tips of the 'antlers'.
Q#7: Other ideas or impressions: I like all of the other Singers and I like the concept of trying to represent higher beings of pure energy. I do think She of the Cruach, Courage and Initiation (if I am not mistaken) look too much alike though. Care should have been taken to show why they were two distinct, different cards.
But I cannot find anything at all to justify to myself why it is called Unity or why it deserves the no. 1 position - anything truly resembling a valid argument that is. Sure, it could be radiating fingers of light, but I think that could be applied to any other Singer card, and all of the others fit their card titles and roles much, much better as well as being better artistically. The overall feeling is one of disillusionment, somehow, and perhaps discomfort and the sense that something's not quite right in the mix.
Hmm.
I actually like probably all of the least liked cards here, except for the Bodach. It makes me think of secret, underhanded malice about to take place, or has already taken place and now the Bodach is making good his getaway. Luathas makes me feel a bit ill with all that green. The Topsy Turvets make me think of creatures from the movies "Gremlins" and "Critters" being squashed together, hehe - but they're cute in their own oddball way, I didn't take to them at first (and they're on the back of every card!) but now I do.
