From Doug's blog (Unnatural Devotions):
Oil pastel on canvas paper. This one felt like it was based on the energy of world events, so expect (perhaps) a psychic reading sometime soon. Click image to enlarge.

You are Strength
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.

thanks for the re-post, sue!!!
Beautiful, yet disturbing. My mind went to feeling as though I'm on the inside of a Nazi concentration camp looking out ... don't know why my mind took me there but it was my absolute first thought upon seeing this. I'm also seeing the grim reaper - big time!
Calling Dr. Freud! Got him on speed dial at the moment! lol
De nada, Doug!
Pick, that is very close to my reaction!
Very foreboding to say the least. I guess the world is pretty fucked up right now.
I brought to mind a story I read
a long time ago I think by Ray Bradbury called
Something Wicked This Way Comes
Its not what you see its what you dont see when I look at it Sue.
Your Prairie friend
