Here it is, blocking...not the best job, but I tried!
A close-up of the detailing...as always, it is difficult to capture the loveliness that are the Ravens...
And this, prior to blocking...
Courage, strength, fortitude. Power not arrested in the act of judgement, but passing on to further action, sometimes obstinacy.
This is a card of courage and energy. It represents both the Lion's hot, roaring energy, and the Maiden's steadfast will. The innocent Maiden is unafraid, undaunted, and indomitable. In some cards she opens the lion's mouth, in others she shuts it. Either way, she proves that inner strength is more powerful than raw physical strength. That forces can be controlled and used to score a victory is very close to the message of the Chariot, which might be why, in some decks, it is Justice that is card 8 instead of Strength. With strength you can control not only the situation, but yourself. It is a card about anger and impulse management, about creative answers, leadership and maintaining one's personal honor. It can also stand for a steadfast friend.

Finishing always makes me knit faster and stay up later than I mean to. I wish I was a person who could put down a sock and sleep if only the toe was left. But there's just no way!
