Know Your Truth, Draw Like The Priestess

What's the relationship to drawing and the tarot you might ask? Well the tarot is connected to drawing firstly because it is drawing, each card is a drawing itself, in Voyager's case a collage that represents a particular archetype or attribute. Drawing is about energy, the visible movement of energy through mark making, tarot is about the visual representation of a particular energy. So when we look at and focus on a paticular card we are attemting to connect to that card's particular energy and meaning. Once connected to that card we can express that energy through drawing. For example let's pick the Priestess card. The Priestess card is about wisdom and knowing the inner truth. As the Priestess you can go to the depths of your being and know and speak your own inner truth, who you really are. Now how might we translate our truth into drawing? Draw like you mean it. As the Priestess you know who are and you express it confidently. The Priestess is not afraid of making mistakes. So draw like you mean it.
