Queens

Artist's Statement:

I made this series of cards as an attempt to start another tarot deck, and I started with the queens, the most powerful card of each suite.

I planned to make 7 number cards with then page, prince, and queen, and have an alternate major arcana that was more emotionally representative and mystical rather than following the conventional standard Rider Waite deck arcana. 

I chose to have each queen represent a season. 

Coins for spring, which brings new wealth

Cups for summer, and stillness of mind

Swords for autumn, facing the storm

Staves for winter, steadfast and stalwart.
