Divination:
A card of self-reliance, beginnings, and initiations. Also entrepreneurial
capacity and expertise.
Author Commentary:
I debated using licensed LEGO properties in the cards for a while. They'll
"date" the set to the early 2000's, for one thing. And relying
on the significance of the characters as opposed to basing the imagery
on well-picked "standard" figures can make the cards less universal
in their acceptance.
But, I rationalized, some images are just too good to pass up. And this
is my deck, I get to make up the rules.
Even if you don't know the backstory of Harry, I think you still get
the theme of the card. The figure could just as easily be Tim Hunter from
Books of Magic, for example.
This was the second card I created, and it pretty much assembled itself
easily into the vision I had for it. The lighting effect on the wand was
a happy accident that I ended up using on several cards.
