Radiant: Rider-Waite-Smith Tarot-Page of Swords
The Rider-Waite-Smith Tarot Deck holds to the oath bound medieval model, and thus is mundane in its depiction. An effeminate person is shown "swishing" his/her sword about in a cloudy sky, with the wind blowing clouds, hair, and trees. The Element of Air represents consciousness and the clouds being blown across the sky represent Emotions or Moods. Thus, the Rider-Waite card concentrates on the Mood fighter characteristics of this card. The yellow tights also imply the element of air, as yellow is the official color of elemental air. In more modern tarot decks, like the Thoth Tarot Deck, there are no Pages, instead there are Princesses. This is because of the Occult Knowledge of YHVH (Tetragrammaton). But you'll have to go to my nontraditional tarot blogs of the Thoth Tarot-Princess of Swords @ elitarotstrickingly.com to investigate this.
The Fairy Tarot-Princess of Winter
The Rider-Waite-Card the Page of Swords show Person that is facing away from the reader implying moodiness while the Fairy Tarot shows moodiness as an adult snow leopard. The RWS Card illustrates the stormy clouds of mood while the Fairy Tarot, shows the coldness of winter. The Rider-Waite-Smith card also shows the sword presented in fighting position, representative of the Element of Air and/or state of mind. In this case, the mental state is defensive. The defensive mental state is shown as a snow leopard looking at a perceived threat in the forefront.
The snow leopard holds special significance in animal symbology. Here are a few interpretations of its symbolism:
Solitude and Independence: Snow leopards are elusive creatures that inhabit remote, mountainous regions. As such, they often symbolize solitude, independence, and self-sufficiency. They teach us the importance of being comfortable with ourselves and finding strength in solitude.
Adaptability and Resilience: Living in harsh, cold environments requires the snow leopard to be highly adaptable and resilient. Symbolically, this attributes to its representation of adaptability and resilience in the face of challenges. It teaches us to navigate through difficult situations with grace and strength.
Mystery and Mysticism: Due to its elusive nature and remote habitat, the snow leopard is often associated with mystery and mysticism. It represents the unknown and the hidden aspects of life, inviting us to explore the depths of our subconscious and embrace the mysteries of the universe.
Spiritual Insight: In some cultures, the snow leopard is revered as a spiritual guide or guardian. It is believed to possess deep spiritual insight and wisdom, guiding those who encounter it on a spiritual journey towards enlightenment and self-discovery.
Overall, the snow leopard embodies a variety of symbolic meanings, including solitude, independence, adaptability, resilience, mystery, and spiritual insight.
On this card, the little fairy from the Ace of Winter is now an adult. The leopard is an image of her growing into her adult inner strength and she is now a powerful woman. The caveat is that be careful of her temperament for she has a powerful growl and can bite!
The RWS-Page is standing on the high ground, as overseeing is also an implication of this card. The Tarot Page of swords is dressed in colorful medieval clothes and the Rider-Waite-Smith person is dressed in yellow, the color used for this Pythagorean Universal Air Element. This card also may present a caution about a young person's actions that may cause concern.
