I The Magician Apprentice of Bells Five of Blades
MAJOR ARCANA: The lesson, challenge, gift, or opportunity in this situation.
I - The Magician:
Masked for secrecy and drama, she communicates expertly but shows only what she wants us to see. She carries iron symbols of the four elements that she summons and combines at will, with innate talent, but without knowledge or experience.
SPIRIT GUIDE: An aspect of yourself to draw on or develop.
Apprentice of Bells: Earth of Earth.
Hidden in a natural sandstone rockhouse in the forest, she collects iron ore pebbles and grinds them into pigment with a mortar and pestle, guarded by tiger bells tied in her hair. She loses and finds herself in her work and in the earth materials that she gathers and uses.
NUMBER CARD: A focus for action or something that needs attention.
Five of Blades:
A feather-crowned shaman contemplates a ritual ladder of hawk-shaped sawblades. To pass the test and ascend to the sky, she must grow wings or climb without fear that the blades will injure her.
