I know it's been awhile since this card was discussed, but since I've only JUST received this deck, I hope you don't mind me making a note on the Strength card.
First off, it was the first card that seemed to jump out at me. I love this deck, and especially this card for some reason. I at first thought this was a man in strength, rather then a woman, as the face of this woman is as dark as her hair, though I did realize it was suppose to be a shadow on her! OOPS! I also was surprised that the dress was green, as someone else mentioned here as well. However, the book that goes with this deck mentions it is a blue robe. Oh well. Other then that, I like this card. It's very simply done, (like the rest of the deck too), and I like it.
I love that it has a unicorn instead of the lion. The unicorn is a symbol of courage, virtue and stength. Also being somewhat mysterious, it seems to really add to this card. I'm sure everyone also recalls that the horn of the unicorn is also believed to be a powerful antidote against poison. To me, it just goes to show someone/something that is thought of as being charming and 'soft' can actually be strong and courageous. I find it to be a good mix here in this card!
