Having watched the video a couple of times I think perhaps the writer of the song used the cards to inspire. Rather than simply illustrating the song with the cards, if you follow. A chicken and egg thing!
Which ever, I liked it a lot. Blessings…………

Susan* I thought the same thing as I was watching it ~ that the writer was using card imagery as she was composing her song. She may have done a layout of the cards and followed the story line! LOL!

Janet – Thank you for the Stylish Blogger Award. I appreciate it’s coming from you. I also think this video should get some more recognition. Maybe Ellis will pick it up as an official music video – wouldn’t that be great!

Thank you so much for sharing my video! I am truly honored. It’s so exciting to see my work circle around in the tarot community like this; I never expected for my small animation project to become so popular. It’s wonderful to hear everyone’s positive comments, and I’m really glad that you all enjoyed my work.
*Susan + *Beth I don’t know if Ellis intentionally used the tarot to inspire her song or its imagery, all I know is that the line “how many swords can go through my heart” was just too perfect for me not to use it for the animation. The entire song was great and applicable to the tarot as well, but that line was the clincher for me.

Nisamohi –
You did a magnificent job. I would love to see it expanded into an entire music video for Ellis—perhaps interspersed with images of her singing. I hope she appreciates what you did as much as us tarot lovers appreciate what you created with the Rider-Waite-Smith deck.
