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.

Nice job Sue. I'm envious, I can barely draw stick figures. That's no exaggeration either. lol
Thanks Pick!
Love this. I especially love the way you captured the perspective of the fish that's turned away from us on the lower right
Thanks Doug!

I believe that your art frees you
in some way and taking brush to canvas again has made a part of
you that had been held back come back
to life.
I love the fish and the Oriental slant to it. It dserves a Haiku
but then I was never good at that.
Your Prairie friend Jim
You are so right Jim! I feel reborn when I paint. I feel whole again. I feel free and powerful! I can't say enough about how it makes me feel to be able to create these beautiful things with my own hands and then let them go. I feel so blessed! Thanks for sensing that!
Thanks Toni!
