Inspired by the Rider Deck,
this famous tarot symbol represents the solar aspect of creation.
The Sun provides light and warmth to our world,
it is not surprising that the Star was anthropomorphized with human like qualities.
In my article concerning the Sun Amulet in my Tarot series,
I described the concept of countenance of the Sun Card.
The solar globe is a ball of fire with no human like qualities,
yet we see a human face throughout various cultures.
We do this with most things:
a human face artistically inserted on things we find strange or incomprehensible;
in this way we may relate to it.
A smiling Solar Face beams down upon us
giving light and warmth to all.
A classic image of spring and summer,
beach bunnies, suntans, cool drinks on hot sand
and those who acknowledge the Sun God of Old.
This rendering of the Sun gently smiles upon us from beyond our reach.
The twelve rays represent the zodiac
ringed together to complete the Amulet.
