Tarot Card / Altar Boxes

I've finally got some tarot card boxes made.... well, I made them with tarot or oracle cards in mind, but they're just as suited to keeping jewellery, trinkets, keepsakes... treasures of any kind really. 

I chose images in which the moon was partially hidden by trees, or veiled by clouds.... suggestive of things hidden, secrets, layers of meaning... to be peeled away or left as they are... beautiful either way... and each one has a slightly different story that can apply to the box itself or your inner self...

This one is about focus.... 
about looking to see what is ready to be revealed
.... perhaps aspects of self ready to emerge...


This one asks to look deeply and see what is precious...
to look at your values... 
to establish or re-establish what is real & true


 This moon is about discovering what is hidden... buried.... 
or perhaps it's more about re-discovering...

 As this moon dances through clouds it asks you to find the joy of being
.... to let your spirit dance

 
This is about bringing things into view... 

your Self... your ideas... your Truth... your voice...
or perhaps re-viewing what you show...


It felt important to use images of the full moon... 
totality... the whole truth... the full circle...
but remember, there is the bright side that we see revealed
and there is the dark side of the moon...
those parts that are hidden to casual view...
but just as valid, they shine in less obvious ways
(as the moon shines into space, when we can't see at new moon)

These are so fantastic! I would suggest adding to your etsy listings that the images are original photography by you. I think it makes them extra special!
