Description This was made for the SPN_tarot community on livejournal.
The mods were lovely enough to contact me and tell me about this project, and I was immediately enthusiastic about it *U* <33

So, this is Temperance, Major Arcana. I tried to stick to the traditional symbolism of this card (an angel holding two cups, standing near a river, but I set the scene at night and made Cas stand on the water, because he's awesome like that XD) but I know nothing about tarots, so I hope I didn't make any terrible mistakes XD

One of the meaning of this card is that opposites can be merged together. The card description in the community mentioned someting like mixing firey red and watery blue, so I took it literally and made Cas juggle with fire and water. Trying to draw fire and water was actually what made me so eager to do this card, because I draw Cas and wings all the time, but I had never drawn fire and water (with PS at least) I hope they don' look too bad. >__>' There are a lot of things that I would like to change in this pic, but for now I'm too busy/lazy

I really really had fun doing this! *W*

Enjoy! <3

This picture makes me happy because it reminds be the Cas was based off the angel Cassiel: The angel of temperance, tears, and the death of kings.

This is freaking COOL! So amazing! I'm looking at it and I'm like: "Dude, can you teach me how to play with the elements like this, Cas? 'Cause I really want to do that too!"

You're very welcome! One question though, was it intentional for the cup holding fire to be blue and the cup holding water to be red? Because I really appreciate that contrast.

Naw! Your coloring is good now! Better than mine

Welcome! (Who doesn't? As far as I'm concerned Usopp is one of the two "normal" people in the crew)

I'm not reading the comments, because someone will say something wrong about the Tarot and I'll go off on them and start channeling Madame Blavatsky again! I am very passionate about the Tarot, it has been a part of my life for more than 15 years. This, is very good, captures the soul of the card very well! And your illustration of the elements, very lively, magical, it is a moment of motion caught by camera! I could read this card easily

*___* Wow, thank you so much for the lovely comment! <33 And thanks for the watch! ;u;

(But no worries, no one said anything wrong about tarots in the comments!! XยฐD I found out a lot of people like them and use them, actually )
