TRUMP 27: THE ANGEL.



In the centre of the horizon stands the Tree, flourishing as before. Above it, many times larger than life, a beautiful androgynous figure in flowing white robes, with great golden wings and an aureole, rises in an attitude vaguely prefiguring the final Trump. It holds a long trumpet in its right hand, raised almost to playing position, while its left arm is wrapped around something shadowy.
The card represents rebirth. The figure can be seen either as a divine messenger, rescuing the sacrificed soul from the Tree, or as the soul itself, rising into a new state of being. The overall meaning, however, is clear. This is the act to which all else has been leading, and whose result is celebrated in the next card. This is where the story really starts.
The card is Neutral, Ideal and Bright, a Changing Card aspected to Chalice and Wand.

I have no idea what all this is about, but thought you ought to know that the angel's got its RIGHT hand on the trumpet and LEFT arm around the shadowy thing.

You're quite right. I have no recollection of why I had it that way round in the first place. Thank you.

Inspired by Moroni?
Anyway, I was waiting impatiently for some cards with a more positive meaning and am glad not everything is hopeless! :)
