Divination:
A card of change, transition, and cycles. Also a card of oracles, deep
seeing and dreams.
Author Commentary:
Fell back on Harry Potter sets again for this card - the character of
McGonigal, with her shape-changing magics, fit well with the "established"
meanings.
And the generic "female witch" imagery works for those who
don't recognize the LEGO mini-figure.
Note that the background is shared with the Queen
of Wands - these two cards flip-flopped on deck placement a few times
before coming to rest. While McGonigal would have balanced Dumbledore
as the King/Queen of Wands, I wanted to keep Hermione in the court cards
with Ron.
In the long run, though, it was the card's divinatory meanings that finalized
placement.
