William Blake Tarot
WhirlwindEzekiel in the Bible says, "I looked, and, behold, a whirlwind came out of the north." Within the whirlwind are the four 'beasts' of the Book of Revelation -- the highest cherubim, the 'living creatures' witnessed by the prophets. In their fourfold nature, they bear the faces of the ox, lion, man, and eagle -- the tetramorphs of. the four Zoas, each with four faces. The wheels and the eyes revolve around them in four dimensions. Above is God on his throne, with his right arm upraised in blessing or greeting. In Blake's system, God represents the Divine Imagination within man. The starry eyes whirling within the wheels are the ideas of the soul, whirling with holy energy.The William Blake Tarot explores the mystical vision and artistry of the renowned English painter and poet. Through rich interpretations focused on creative undertakings, it has long been the deck of choice for artists, writers, musicians, and thinkers.
