TAROT: UNICORN WELL

(The Ace or Archetype of Cups)
1991 digital image based on a 1978 Tarot card (felt pen, 3x5")
by Chris Wayan

The Well of Feelings is guarded by the Black Unicorn: the shadow of all the feelings you deny.

(It's not innocence that guards the heart.)

The damnedest things come from the pool of the heart; the waterlilies of compassion grow from such mysterious mud.

Cups of glowing passion, borne by our bodies, and robed in reason (or rationalization), enlighten the midnight mist...

or should I say its full name? Mistrust.

NOTE

I lacked a scanner, so I digitized my sketch with a borrowed videocamera and painted on top of the blurry result.

The pool, the odd light, the waterlily torch-bearers and the black unicorn are all borrowed from unrelated dreams.
