Courage, strength, fortitude. Power not arrested in the act of judgement, but passing on to further action, sometimes obstinacy.
This is a card of courage and energy. It represents both the Lion's hot, roaring energy, and the Maiden's steadfast will. The innocent Maiden is unafraid, undaunted, and indomitable. In some cards she opens the lion's mouth, in others she shuts it. Either way, she proves that inner strength is more powerful than raw physical strength. That forces can be controlled and used to score a victory is very close to the message of the Chariot, which might be why, in some decks, it is Justice that is card 8 instead of Strength. With strength you can control not only the situation, but yourself. It is a card about anger and impulse management, about creative answers, leadership and maintaining one's personal honor. It can also stand for a steadfast friend.

When I asked Benoit to do an illustration for us I think I left it pretty open ended for him. My main concern was that it had that element that he does where you see one thing and then realize there is much more going on then just the main focus image. He came back with three beautiful concept illustrations and this one was my favorite but it was hard to decide as everything he does is so fantastic......Be prepared for something even better coming soon in the semi near future :)
I just can't wait David!
Nice work!
