💀 This isn’t our first go-around with redesigning The Chariot. It’s one of our favorite cards as it represents action, determination, willpower, and success (upright, at least)! In our Ghoulish Edition of this card, you’ll see one of our favorite Halloween icons, the MUMMY.
🧍♂️ Because the charioteer is about taking action, he stands rather than passively sitting. He is completely in charge of his situation here.
💪 The traditional crook and flail have taken place of the wand as the Mummy’s symbols of power.
🌌 The stars above him signify his relation to divine understanding.
☯️ The black and white sphinxes that sit before him represent the duality within oneself, negative and positive, that sometimes aid each other and sometimes act as opposing forces. Although they pull the chariot in opposite directions, the Mummy uses his power to unite these forces into a common movement, leading them forward.
🧠 On his chariot lies the image of the goddess Isis, who was known for her great magickal power and cleverness.
🌊 The river behind him represents the importance of remaining in flow with the universe while striving forward towards your desired goals and intentions.
