Although he exposes himself to the energy of the elements, he does not get sucked under by them. His mastery of the suit is shown by the fact that he holds and uses its graphic symbol of the palette -- the only such instance in the suit.The William Blake Tarot explores the mystical vision and artistry of the renowned English painter and poet.
