Artist's Comments

The Corvidae card for the incredible pathfinders deck. The card info in regards to the deck will be added later on.

Corvidae
Corvids have long been symbols for war and death and as a symbol they should be treated with care. However, they also symbolise rebirth, and give us the strength needed to part with things we don’t need, big or small. They guide us in the shadows, carry souls from darkness into the light, and help in the honouring of ancestors. They are skilful and cunning, and a great aid when trickery is needed.

As a negative/reversed aspect, corvidae may be warning you that you are becoming to obsessive about something.


Pathfinder Deck info (from the website);
Pathfinders is a unique deck that celebrates the animal kingdom.

Animals have come to mean a lot in the lives of humans, even though we hardly think about it. We use their names everyday for things like cars and music lyrics to sports team mascots. Animals have become symbols we look to for powerful attributes. These Totems have the ability to enhanse our lives.

This deck takes a look at 100 animals all over the Earth, great and small, and their unique, special qualities that we can call on to further explore ourselves.

Using this deck, you can find ways to enrich your daily life as well as to learn more about the animals portrayed.

Oh this is beautiful. I love the idea of having them actually having something to look at. I think the hardest part of these cards is getting all/most of the animals in and having it not look crowded. The composition in this one is awesome.
I love the birds, but I really love that tree and the branches and leaves you can see behind it. It really looks realistic and pretty.

That's a really neat idea (the pathfinders deck). And what a gorgeous illustration. As to be expected, I guess. ^^

Our domain, this kingdom come
now godless lands whose ways are lost
Without the strength to carry on.
All values lost,all virtue none.

::Flails in glee:: ooooh, that is so darn pretty... The mottled greens and blues in the background give it an almost jeweled appearance, which, frankly,suits corvids well.
