In the Creative Circle, we are slowly working our way through the major arcana via The Fool's Journey.  I wanted to document my own journey in its fullness here.  This blog post will be updated each time I post a project to the Creative Circle so do check back regularly if you're interested.

0 The Fool

For the Fool, I represented the fresh start and taking a step of faith into the unknown by making some moccasin shoes.

1 The Magician

I decided to represent the Magician by knitting something to protect my hands.  I'd noticed that in a number of the Magician cards, the hands were often being used to channel his creative energies to combine the elements in some way so this seemed a good idea!

2 The High Priestess

For the High Priestess, I used inspiration from some of my animal decks to connect the High Priestess with a cat and created this cute crochet cat, called Mysti, in the colours of the High Priestess's cloths from the RWS and The Herbal Tarot decks.  (For more information on why this photo is staged this way please head to the Creative Circle for March 2023...)

3 The Empress

For the Empress, I was inspired to create something using ingredients from nature, so I made Nettle Leaf Syrup!

4 The Emperor

The Emperor inspired me to create databases for various things:

- my book collection

- my knitting needle and crochet hook collection

- my classical piano pieces so I can find different versions more easily in my books
