TINY MYSTIC CREATURES AS TINY MYSTIC TAROT
‘Tarot contains and expresses any doctrine to be found in our consciousness. It represents Nature in all the richness of its infinite possibilities, and there is in it as in Nature, not one but all potential meanings. And these meanings are fluent and ever-changing, so the Tarot cannot be specifically this or that, for it ever moves and yet is ever the same.’ - P.D. Ouspensky ‘The Symbolism of Tarot'
Tiny Mystic Tarot are the interpretation of the 22 Major Arcana through Tiny Mystic Creatures. These are Creatures living in the Black Lake, part of Chiara’s Underworld. They showed up in her visionary journeys and found their way out in the form of illustrations. Specifically, here is the reimagination of the Tarot Major Arcana.
‘When I start drawing a Mystic Creature the eyes are always what comes first to the surface. After the first draft everything is realized directly ink on paper. This technique taught me that there is no wrong line, everything is gonna be integrated in the final drawing. Also, this allowed me to embrace the fact that in the creative process, as in life, you can never go wrong. All is how it is meant to be.
The creation of each Arcana has been for me a very special journey of connection with the Archetypes contained within.’

Dear You,
You might read these words, somewhen - somehow. You might feel these words, somewhere - somehow. I just want to say, take your time. Take it easy, it is hard work what you are doing now. It is not easy, but try to go through it. This will also change: what is happening at this very moment won’t last forever. Nothing is permanent, nothing remains the same. You can find Light within the Darkness. You can find Darkness within the Light. Navigate the Darkness, bearing in mind that you are not alone in this journey. You are going Deep - no matter what you’ll find - and that’s admiring. Shadows need both Light & Darkness to be seen. In total Darkness shadows can’t be seen. In total Light shadows can’t be seen. Gather up your tools, use them all. Reach out for help when needed. You will find it. Let go what no longer serves you. You can do it. You are diving deep within yourself and there is nothing to be scared of. Fears are friends. Inner monsters are teachers. You can swim in all waters and reach the shore of the Highest Harbour. You are the Master of your own Karma. You can always decide where to go. If you decide to go Deep, do it with awareness. If you decide to go High, do it with awareness. Awareness of breath. Awareness of the sensations. Your Body can guide you, listen to what it tells you. The Sacred Temple of your Body will be with you in this. There will always be someone ready to take you somewhere nice. And that person is You. |
