Mantra | Dual Sided-Illustration
"If you don't like the hand, shuffle the deck" - personal mantra in the form of a tarot card.
The Three of Swords
In tarot, this card reflects deep loss, betrayal, heartache, or grief. However, it also symbolizes that even amidst pain and suffering, growth and healing can be present.
Duality of the Seasons
Just like in nature, we all have seasons of growth. We thrive in the summer of our lives while simultaneously wintering in our moments of suffering.
One cannot exist without the other, and neither can we.
Dual Tones
The sunburst of 8 points represents the idea of transformation and is reflected on the back of this tarot card. The card is split evenly with the reflection of each side in “dual tones”. These dual tones represent the choice we have to shuffle the deck of cards we have been given.
Which card would you draw? The colorless card or one that is teaming with the life that you wish to create?
