What does the bottom say? Doesn't "kraft" mean strength or power er something?

it does, but generally in the Tarot it is translated as "Force"

this is powerful and illutrate well "force" by the motion of strokes and hair (sorry my english is limited, I speak french) , the choice of color and the bear. Excellent work !

the beastie looks so soft...i do think i have an animal inside...they say there is a part of our brains that is "lizard brain" from our earliest ancestors.

interesting theory... in the β€œForce” card it refers more to our inner β€œmonster”.. according to C.G. Jung we all have a β€œshadow”, the part of our personality which we don’t like or which scares us. But it is not about fighting the β€œmonster” or locking it up, it is about taming it lovingly, accepting it as a part of us and living with it instead of against...

I am more connected to my dark side than most people I have met.

true...but there are some airy-fairy types who live in the sunlight and are perpetually happy...i dont trust them...

those over exposed or remote controlled types whose dark side appears non existant (seen from outside) are the worst... most of them are either so stupid or such devious hypocrites that it's dangerous!

I have had a feeling that there were "real people" (like you and I), Zombies (drones who work all the time) and Vampires (people who prey on others)

anubis46 In reply to Deborah-Valentine [2007-03-14 21:26:37 +0000 UTC]

hehe...we should start a discussion of people categories... well, better don't get me started. Yes, there are lots of Zombies out there, but I have yet to meet one who really works all the time (at least in the western world)... most just tell everyone they do. I call them "remote controlled", an indiffernt mass which acts the way they are supposed to, directed by advertisement and so called news. The Vampires to me are the ones who steel your energy...
