It sounds silly and maybe even a bit ''simple'', but I'm very much drawn to The Hermit--particularly his lantern. I feel as though no matter where his journey in self-discovery takes him, he'll never be lost or in the dark. Or he may discover some things about himself he's afraid of but the lantern will help shed some light on as to his discoveries, if that makes sense.

not silly at all, this is my favorite symbol too. I like the idea of there always being a light in the dark alongside you, so you are never alone while you're searching.

I like the white pigeon of the Ace of Cups. It's a symbol for peace and prosperity. I keep seeing it elsewhere too!

I like the rainbow in tens of cup and the scroll in the high priestess.

Several symbols often really grab my attention, but lately I feel very drawn to the stars. Particularly in The Star, but also everywhere throughout the deck.
And before that, for some time, it was the clouds, Loved how some are so nice, calm and tender, while some are so angry, moving and intense.

The winding path in The Moon card.
I love how it disappears into the distance. It feels like the subconscious journey — unclear, emotional, but necessary.
