The Star - Daughters of the Moon Tarot
I thought I'd pull out something different that is kind of a treat because I rarely use this deck anymore. I've had it since the mid-80s. Remarkably, It's in close to pristine condition and I kind of want to keep it that way. This is a first edition black & white Daughters of the Moon Tarot, a feminist themed deck. It was designed so you could color tree images yourself, but I loved the black and white so I left it alone.
I believe there was a previous Incarnation from the 1970s and that was very popular with a different name. they now have a colored and a black and white deck available. the color deck has slightly different artwork.
The card for today is The Star. I love how this star is actually up floating above the Earth rather than with one toe in the water as she's often shown. However, even from up above the earth the water from her vessel is still flowing into the water below. Connecting and keeping the flow constant. She's in a peaceful state between two realms exchanging energy. She's clearly at peace, perhaps she's in deep meditation or in a dream state.
Sometimes we get so bogged down or invested in one thing that we become unbalanced and fail to see the connection between all things. The star reminds us to pull back rest and restore and let things flow. She also reminds us that when things look bleak or are frustrating, removing oneself from the frey can give you a different perspective and some hope!
The artist's webpage has a beautiful little poem on it with a picture of the colored card so you can see the difference in the artwork. I do not believe that I have the book for this anymore. :-( If I do it's in storage. I've kept the cards in a basket because of their weird shape and I used to have an original mother peace deck as well but I think that is gone. My sister gave me this deck and she's gone too so it means a lot to me.
