Here’s a Card Compare of 3 versions of the 2 of Swords.
The first is from the GirlsDrawinGirls Tarot, a Group Tarot Deck created by various artists, with the 2 of Swords by Samantha Selvaggio. The second is from the Mary-El Tarot by Marie White. And the third is from the Rider-Waite-Smith Tarot by Arthur Waite and Pamela Colman Smith.
Take a look and see what you think. How are the themes of personal choice, contemplation, and the power of thoughts or words depicted in these cards? What makes them similar? What makes them unique.
Each image is evocative in its own way. Which speaks most powerfully (or playfully) to you?
Founded by Melody Severns (of The Simpsons fame), GirlsDrawinGirls is a group meant to showcase women artists in the art and animation industry. As a group, they celebrate the traditionally male dominated art of the pin up, and express their creative concepts about beauty and sex appeal through a female-centric lens.
The GirlsDrawinGirls Group Tarot is a full 78 card deck featuring the work of 60 different artists, and a whole lot of femininity.
Visit the GDG Tarot Project page to see the cards and to learn more about the deck, and the group.
