I finished the 4 Tarot Queens last week and decided to open the next series with one of the Major Arcana Cards-- the High Priestess. She is also known as Persephone, Isis and Artemis. She sits at the portal before the Great Mystery. I placed her on a chair seat ( that's what forms the background to this piece), to represent her throne. The High Priestess sits between the Darkness and the Light, the Pillars of Solomon's Temple and is the mediator of the passage into the depth of reality-- note the "ENTER" key from an old keyboard just under her face.
The two pillars she's sitting between are Boaz and Joachim, the pillars of Mercy and Severity. I used the "B" and "J" keys from the keyboard to represent this. They are at the very bottom on each side. The Blue color represents royalty. The Solar Cross is a symbol of the balance between male and female.
