Kings are generally men*, and generally conceived of as large and/or imposing and/or powerful, etc. Given that Stephanie is neither large, nor imposing (at least in the physical sense), I had to spend some time thinking about how to convey the idea of size and force. I wanted to convey a sense of quiet power … Continue reading King of Blades

Queen of Blades
The Queen of Blades. Traditionally a somber card, often a widow or a barren woman. Someone ill-used by life, accustomed to disappointment either from themselves or others. A person who is always on guard, waiting defensively for the next hurt or attack. When read as a person, this can be seen as an adult, ages … Continue reading Queen of Blades
Knight of Blades
Where the pages are childhood and youth, the knights are, to me, young adulthood. 18-35 or so. Thus, where the pages are the part of our lives about beginning a quest, of being a seeker, the knights are about change and information. They symbolize rapid change, swift understandings, game-changing ideals. As this is the knight … Continue reading Knight of Blades

Finally, we made it to the court cards. I have to say that I greeted them with a real sense of relief- this project, though we were dedicated, took a while to really get off the ground, and though we've been pretty diligent about it in the last four months or so, we've been working … Continue reading Page of Blades
F*#k Valentine’s Day
No, really. Pull the large piece of chocolate away from your face, and listen for a second. Hear that? That's the sound of thousands of candy-hyped grade school kids learning what it feels like when you don't get as many valentines as the kid next to you. (And don't give me that "well, if we … Continue reading F*#k Valentine’s Day
Ten of Blades
The ten of blades, as my father used to always tell me, is "not necessarily a card of violent death". Not necessarily... Where the nine of blades is about anxiety and fear in the form of anticipation, this is the card where the worst has already happened. The *only* good thing about this card is … Continue reading Ten of Blades
Nine of Blades
The Nine of Blades. Traditionally depicted as a woman in bed, dressed in her nightclothes with her hands over her face as she weeps, nine swords hanging point down on the wall over her bed. It's a rather unambiguous card- worry, anxiety, dread. Bad news that comes unexpectedly. The dark night of the soul. That … Continue reading Nine of Blades
