This card is so beautiful and I thought it definitely deserves its own thread already.
A low moon hangs full, large and luminous over turbulent ocean waves. A woman dressed in white is in profile and she stands in front of and between two stone pillars: A Mermaid on the left and a Merman on the right. An oyster? lies at the foot of the mermaid and a crab lies at the foot of the merman. The card is both darkness and light.
I love how the moon here seems to literally glow and "pop" out from the card as though its 3D! It's beautiful. To me the woman in white appears to be pregnant, which I think is fitting as the moon is associated with the female menstrual cycle and other qualities that are associated with women as well. Feminine intuition for example.
I can't tell what is at the foot of the mermaid, I think maybe it's an oyster? Maybe pearls of wisdom and all that. I think a little crab is at the foot of the merman, perhaps in keeping with the crustacean that traditionally comes out of the waters in traditional RWS symbolism.
This card is so pretty, and I love that it doesn't have the creepy, dark, foreboding feel to it that so many moon cards have (like the Moon in the Medieval Scapini which scares the poop out of me). Instead it is soft, glowing, and feminine!
