My Favourite Moon

It may be hard to see things clearly under the moonight. Things are obscured by shadows and unseen forces may be at play. Hidden, deep-seated fears may surface. Things will look differently in the light of the day.

5. El Goliath Tarot

The simplicity of this image really appealed to me, just clouds, sky and the illuminated full moon. Sometimes less is more. Is there a smiling face in this Moon? Is it pareidolia or is it the man in the moon? 

4. Mythical Creatures Tarot

Beware the moon. The night is when monsters and werewolves come out to play. The raw power of the moon's influence is shown beautifully in this card through the lycanthrope and contrasted perfectly with the doll-like passivity  of the wolf's victim. Which role is being played out in your reading? 

3. Textured Tarot

All of the traditional symbolism is in this card, the dog, the wolf and the crustation but the stunningly delicate pale pink rose lifts the feeling from unsettling and blue to bright and promising. This is a glass is half full moon. 

2. Way Home Tarot

The duality of the moon's message is the focus of this card. The domestic dog howling at the moon is contrasted with the shadow wolf and his controlled glare. The crayfish reaching out of the water representing the deeper fears that only just reach the surface but will never fully emerge.

1. Oriens Tarot 

This deck is a recent purchase and there are lots of beautiful animals throughout but the energy of the Moon card really stood out. This card focuses on the message of things not being fully formed in this light and although the pathway is clear and well-defined it looks like its appearing just as the hare takes a step forward. Is the path only just appearing as we need it to or is it really there all the time, we just can't see it till we take that step forward?
