I Am Strength

August 1, 2007 · 2 Comments

I just took this quiz I found on Celluloide Blonde.

What Tarot Card Are You?

Here is my result:

Strength by Ciro Marchetti

You are Strength
Courage, strength, fortitude. Power not arrested in the act of judgement, but passing on to further action, sometimes obstinacy.

This is a card of courage and energy. It represents both the Lion’s hot, roaring energy, and the Maiden’s steadfast will. The innocent Maiden is unafraid, undaunted, and indomitable. In some cards she opens the lion’s mouth, in others she shuts it. Either way, she proves that inner strength is more powerful than raw physical strength. That forces can be controlled and used to score a victory is very close to the message of the Chariot, which might be why, in some decks, it is Justice that is card 8 instead of Strength. With strength you can control not only the situation, but yourself. It is a card about anger and impulse management, about creative answers, leadership and maintaining one’s personal honor. It can also stand for a steadfast friend.

I love tarot cards. The symbols are ancient and truthful. I have several packs of cards at home.

I also enjoy getting my tarot readings from Mystic Games. I usually do “Today and Task” and use the Tarot of Dreams deck by artist Ciro Marchetti. His artwork is stunningly beautiful.

Take the quiz and tell Grace Magazine what card you are.

Reese Witherspoon

Academy Award-winning actress Reese Witherspoon has signed with Avon Products, Inc. to be its first ever Global Ambassador.

She will serve as Honorary Chairman of the Avon Foundation, focusing on women-related issues such as breast cancer, domestic violence and emergency relief.

She will also be the spokesperson for Avon’s beauty brands.

I’ve always had a thing for Avon nail polish. It has staying power. And they also have instant dry enamel strips that you peel and press. I haven’t tried them yet. If you have, let us know how they are.
