(2008) 5 1/2" x 10 1/2" Pencil on Paper. Processed and framed in Photoshop.
I was pretty sure from the start that Minerva McGonagle would make the High Priestess. I really just used the traditional imagery for the card, where she has a book in her lap and sits between a black and a white column with a veil suspended between them.
For the body and dress I used an image from
Traditionally the High Priestess symbolizes the wise woman, the protecress and the anima. She stands for inner wisdom, knowledge of the mysteries of life and death, patience, seclusion, independence and self-reliance, calm and serenity.
Minerva works a lot of her power and influence in secret and not necessarily through the official channels. She rarely has to stand up out in the open, but she will do so if pushed to extremes, like when she defends Sibyl Trelawney against Umbridge... Her animagus from as a cat works well with the femimine and lunar aspects of this card.
Very lovely abit old IMHO for the high priestess card, I see her a lil more youthful as well as wise. ^^.
In my deck, the ones i use, she is more like a fancy lil trollop because she is the one who will give you her favor if you please her. I use the celtic deck. I forget the artists name i will check later if you want to know.
Oh yes, Minerva is great... I always liked her, even though I imagined her a bit younger than Maggie Smith... then again, this is the sort of actress that is above age and other not important things, always fabulous
