The Divine Chariot

This is a mixed media piece, traditional and digital art combined. At first, I created a piece with ink on paper, and I was playing with it later in Photoshop. Especially a mirrored version looks to me like a chariot. This horse-like creature represents my wild roaming spirit. This also brings back to me teachings of Chogyam Trungpa about the windhorse.

I love working with Thoth tarot deck, and a wonderful companion to it is a book by Gerd Ziegler "Tarot ~ Mirror of the Soul", it always offers guidance that is so on point.
Here is the meaning behind the Chariot card from this book:

Key Words: Cancer; new beginning, change for the good; introspection, meditation, spiritual path.

The driver sits in meditation posture in a chariot which has not yet begun to move. He is clothed in golden armor and is meditating on the Holy Grail which is rotating in his hands. The Grail symbolizes the Wheel of Fortune. The driver is examining all possible consequences before daring to set the chariot in motion in a new beginning, for once the driver has chosen to start, there is no turning back. Nothing will be able to arrest the journey.
This card refers generally to imminent new beginnings. It can point to a journey, or the start of some new phase (relationship, living situation, job) of life. Nothing should be decided precipitously. Everything requires exact examination and preparation. But once all the ground-work is done, the new start should not be put off unnecessarily. Everything points toward favorable developments.
The driver's armor is golden and set with then crystals. It is a symbol of Cancer's protective shell, providing shelter and protection for the inner transformation (the color gold) and the development of clarity (crystals), In times of breakthrough or new beginnings you need the protection and support of a loving atmosphere which provides a sense of safety amd security. The oncoming change brings with it much excitement and unrest. This is a time to avoid chaotic, disorganized, or loveless relationships.
The new start leaves behind the boring routine of daily life. Inspiration and ideas abound, and expand your areas of activity. This is symbolized by the concentric blue circles in the background. You are now in a position to engage successfully in many different activities. This variety of activity will enrich and stimulate you. Despite the bustle, your highest goal will not be forgotten. The road upon which the chariot stands is paved with golden stones. This is the regal path traveled by every spiritual seeker in search of self-knowledge and inner transformation.
The four sphinxes (bull, lion, person, eagle) are the energies which will set the chariot in motion. They have exchanged heads and bodies, and assist each other. Once the right direction is chosen, their energies will combine and be set in motion to assure successful progress. Your trust in your own powers and perceptions will grow.

Indication: The oncoming change promises to lead to a positive phase of your life. Ready yourself, put your affairs in order, examine the possibilities. You will leave much behind.

Questions: What area of your life will be changing? Are you ready to ring out the old and ring in the new?

Suggestion: Seek or create for yourself a loving, secure environment. There you can plan the change or journey. Your body also needs attention and activity now.

Affirmation: I am putting my life in order and preparing for the beginning.
