Art Medium:
Pen and watercolour.
Description:
Some of the Majors are renamed. Magician - Trickster; High Priestess - Virgin; Hierophant - Pope; Lovers - Choice; Chariot - Victory; Hermit - Shaman; Wheel of Fortune - Fate; Justice - Law; Temperance - Peace; World - Aeon. The artwork, though figurative, is geometrical and somewhat abstract. Each Minor is given a name of a God or Goddess. The Majors apparently represent the Fifth Element. THe Majors also bear short quotations from the Gnostic text discovered at Nah Hammadi in 1945 known as 'The Thunder, Perfect Mind' along their vertical edges.
