1-TheFool

This series of tarot cards is a personal project meant to serve as a sort of memoir of important people and events that took place throughout my life. This first card, the fool, represents me and my journey along with my dog, Simon, who means the world to me.

2-The Magician

My high school friend, Quinn, who is also my personal psychic. Him and his cards are always there when I need advice and we have shared many good times throughout the years. This is why I chose to represent him as the magician.

3-TheHighPriestess

One of my favorite spiritual teachers, Teal Swan, is depicted as the High Priestess representing wisdom, intuition, and spirituality.

4-Empress

"Maternal influence" - a close family friend with a big heart. Cannot turn a blind eye to those in need and is devoted to taking care of the stray animals that show up at her doorstep

5-Emperor

6-The Hierophant

Represents law, order, and tradition. For a long time martial arts was a significant part of my life. It not only conditions the body, but also the mind and teaches you focus and important values like respect and integrity.

8-TheChariot

Ambition, triumph, overcoming of obstacles - no one represents this better than Selena

9-Strength

Simon - my best friend and the love of my life who gives my life purpose when I feel like I have none

11- Wheel of Fortune

The design for this card was inspired by my brother Josh who always seeks adventure. He worked as a pilot in Alaska, then decided to live on a boat and sail the seas. On many occasions he found himself in difficult situations facing adversity but always was able to make it through anything.

12-Justice

Justice represents weighing decisions, moral judgement, equality, and accountability for actions. When designing this I remembered when I participated in a McDonald's protest. The incredible suffering animals stuck in factory farms go through often goes unnoticed. It's important that people are aware of the impact their actions have on others even the small day to day decisions of what you put on your plate. Animals deserve a lot more compassion than they get but I hope to inspire a change.

14-Death

The pandemic has brought about tremendous change in the world and how we live our day to day lives. It represents not just physical death, but a death to life as we've known it. It is a closing to one chapter of our lives, but in turn an opening to something new.
