"The Chariot" stands for the hero setting out on his quest. Traditionally it shows a figure encased in armor atop a chariot drawn by sphinxes. So it was fairly easy to jump from there to the Hogwarts Express, the "chariot" for young wizards and witches to take them out on their quest, to learn about magic and about themselves. Incidentally this is also the first card that does not feature a figure or figures.
In a draw "The Chariot" indicates an intense drive forward to accomplish something. There is little openness to accept a deviation from the course, and the impulse comes all from the inside - from inside the armor. Ultimately the hero will be challenged on his quest, he will need to halt, to open himself and to learn, but not yet.
The lesson is to harness the drive, but also not to ride roughshod over obstacles and not to fear failure so much.
Amazing detail as always love how the mood is captured <33

Haha, the train! Fantastic.. And I like trains. The circle on the front of the engine does seem a bit lopsided...skewed a little. But it's not too noticable.
Though I admit when I saw the thumbnail (and didn't at first notice who drew it) I thought I was looking at Charlie the Choo Choo from the Dark Tower books. LOL! But then I have had The Dark Tower on my brain.
Nicely done!

Daily Literature Deviations is a group that is dedicated to bringing literature to the forefront of the deviantArt community. We attempt to accomplish this by daily featuring Literature artists from around the community that deserve the recognition, but are not getting it.
Each day we will feature 10 deviations from the Literature categories in a News Article. In order to support the artists that we feature, we ask that you the news article as well as check out the individual pieces. We understand that each day you may not be able to check out each and every one of the pieces, everyone has their own things going on. We just ask that you make an attempt to help support the growing Literature community.
When it comes to community spirit, `Rushy is a shining example. From participating in devmeets, to providing positive encouragement to other artists, `Rushy can always be found demonstrating what it really takes to be a true deviant. It's without any hesitation that we are delighted to award the Deviousness Award for July 2009 to `RushyRead More
