Ironwing Tarot: Four Element Reading

FIRE: Inspiration, creativity, intuition, timing.
Gatemaker of Spikes: Air of Fire. Crowned with sewing needles and a winglike fan of magical protective fabric, she separates the fire of heart and hearth from explosive wildfire. Her hair is twisted into ropes for the shaman's ascent to the starry sky. Intense and innovative, her creativity combines intricate beauty with protective power.

WATER: Feelings, emotions, attachments, subconscious.
Madrone of Coils: Water of Water. Madrone flowers in her hair, her hands are Sargassum weed that shelters Gulf Stream creatures: leatherback hatchling, ocellated crab, button jellyfish, blue glaucus sea slug, and violet snail. She connects and feels all, reflecting the subconscious of others, knowing when to move closer, when to dive and let go, and when to float with the current.

AIR: Thought, intellect, conflict, communication.
Shaman of Spikes: Fire of Fire. As a mountain lion crowned with honey locust pods and thorns, she summons a luna moth from cup fungi. Spike lanterns show her mastery of purifying but destructive wildfire and of cool night woods phosphorescence that brings visions and nightmares. She is the purifier, exorcist, and shadow chaser.

EARTH: Material world, physical body, work, skill or craft.
Gatemaker of Blades: Air of Air. She wears a falcon helmet and wields talon knives. The curved blades of her fingers are also her ribcage, covered in icicles from the polar stormclouds that become her breath. She breathes the winds of truth, and even of anger when there is no other choice. She can speak, think, and go where others will not.
