Here is Major 1, The Magician/Magus/Juggler.
First, I must say that the sketch of this kinda looked better. Now, conventionally, the Magus has with him 1 of each of the four suits, that is: cups, swords, wands, coins. But I thought it would clutter the drawing and I think that looks tacky, so I went with the symbols in the four corners of the drawing: Air, Fire, Earth, Water, clockwise from the top left.
Another thing I noticed in my reading was that Mercury was portrayed as an ape god in Mayan and Hindu mythology, and seemed more present than the Egyptian Ibis. But, I think primate are ugly as hell, so I went with Ibis.
If anyone wants to know more about the symbolism I'll tell, otherwise I'm guessing no one really gives a crap.

Yes, much respect to Toth. I think furries trip over Abubis 'cos he's a canine head. I really don't think that Anubis has much in the way of The Tarot, so I'm glad I won't be drawing him. Furries kinda ruined his symbology with me.
I love The Tarot on both levels. Of divination and meditation, I'm still learning. I've come to see them as living beings, almost a Species completely unto themselves. As pieces of art they are (or rather should be) beautifully expressive of emotions and psychology.
