I. The Description of The World Deviant Moon Tarot
On The World Deviant Moon Tarot card, the young mermaid toured the world herself. Now she ended the trip right where it had started. However, the experience transformed her. Around her, a large serpent is forming a circle by hurting itself. Below her, sat the beasts she had conquered during her journeys.
As the title suggests, The Fool’s journey stops here, where all the emotional levels have been experienced. Life is a cycle of reincarnation, and when one reaches the limit of all matters and when one sees himself as The Fool, that is when the journey begins a new cycle of it. Let’s see what is the end of the journey as a world reduced in one’s vision and a journey with emotions that stays with everyone.
That is why this last Deviant Moon Tarot card is called The World. Let us all contemplate it and contemplate for a bit the definition of emotional levels because to some people, this statement seems familiar, but its meaning is not thoroughly understood. Among the seven Buddhist taboos, there are Pleasure, Anger, Love, Hate, Greed, Resentment, and Delusion. Experiencing all these states means that is, having completed the cycle of one life.
Covering the entire card is the image of a mermaid and two fishes that reminds us of water – the element that represents and governs emotions, something humans cannot control but that makes them experience and nostalgic. The Little Mermaid appeared in folk tales of many different countries, including the Near East, Europe, Africa, and Asia. Her personification with the upper half is a human body and the lower half is a fishtail.
The story is first told in ancient Assyria when the goddess Atargatis embodied herself as a mermaid because of the shame of accidentally killing her human lover. A mermaid also represents the rage of nature such as floods, storms, shipwrecks, or drowning. The reason it is meant to be is that the legend told mermaids were real. Or in some of the historical records, when Christopher Columbus explored the Caribbean, mermaids possessed a flawless beauty with shiny curls and seductive bodies that easily enticed sailors and made them shipwrecked.
But in a more positive sense, the mermaid also represents benefit, blessing, or immersing in love. The mermaid image in The World Deviant Moon Tarot card is a young lady who is full of life, possessing the sea and standing between two areas of sea and land. One was where ships sailed and the other was occupied by the citadel, but nowhere was this lady truly belonged. She ended her journey at the very place where she started even though she was still looking backward like regret or think about her next moves.
Standing halfway between two areas is like the end and the beginning of two journeys. The sea may be where she lives but not necessarily her home, holding two fire sticks in her hands, a testament to the origin of life, evolution, and balance. She wears the laurel wreath as a symbol of the peak of consciousness. Her eyes widened symbolizes the enlightenment and maturity from the trip.
Another theory is that the mermaid image is the embodiment of the god Vishnu – the preserve and guardian in Indian religion. Everything is in the middle of the event, since the sun is also in the middle of its journey, no one can tell whether the sun is rising or setting. The picture of this journey is shielded by a giant snake swallowing its tail.
Snakes are one of the oldest and most popular mythological symbols of the human world. Snakes combine with some of the oldest known rituals of mankind and snakes represent both good and evil simultaneously. The presence of snake species is from ancient times, from Eastern to Western culture, from ancient civilization to modern conception. The snake is not only an animal that lives all over the world, it is also a symbol of water, fire, soul, sensuality, assertiveness, cynicism, male and female sexuality, a god of creation and represents the cosmic chaos.
These concepts stem from the very nature of snakes, their biological characteristics that have contributed to defining its symbolic meaning, namely its graceful movement and its tightening of the prey that symbolize strength, the peeling represents regeneration, its venom can kill people so it is related to the malignancy and cruelty, the bisexuality symbolizes the origin of the universe, its zigzag body that moved indefinitely or in a circle represents the reincarnation of life and death.
Around the world, many peoples consider snakes to be the lord of women. The three symbols of medicine related to snakes still in use today are the Hygieia Grail – the symbol of medicine and the Caduceus and the Rod of Asclepius are the symbols of the medical field in general. Today, snake venom is used in medicine to treat a number of serious diseases. The most important symbolic meaning of the snake is the manifestation of the origin of life and the universe, on the human level, it is the dual symbol of soul and sensuality.
Under the mermaid’s feet is the image of the lion on the left and the goat on the right. It may be difficult to discern the goat in this picture because of the stylization in the drawing. If we don’t focus on the details of their legs, we won’t be able to guess what kind of mascots they are. For a long time, especially in Eastern culture, the lion is known as the lord of animals and is built to become the symbol of the mascot, placed in front of temples and pagodas as seals and protect the entrance of the sanctuary. Some typical examples such as the stone lion are located in China, Hong Kong, Singapore with an image of a lion’s head and body of a fish, in Egyptian history with the image of a sphinx with a human head and a lion’s body.
Goat, in contrast, is one of the oldest domesticated animals. They were closely related to sheep, but instead of always following the herd, the goats had certain independence. They love the peak and that is also the milestone towards spirituality. Climbing mountains as a hobby also creates images of advancement, progress, and achievement. In addition, the goat is also a symbol of discovery and curiosity. They can eat or do anything, but deep down, goats are quite fussy about things. They are ready to remove everything and keep only the essentials.
The final connecting detail is the image of two fishes on the top of the card. It is reminiscent of the two fishes in The Fool as mark the beginning and end of the journey, instead of the intense face, now everything looks peaceful and cheerful, marking a new and more favorable start. The World Deviant Moon Tarot’s corresponding astrology is the Saturn in Libra.
