This was a symbol she designed for a LARP (Live Action Roll Playing) called Realms to be worn on belt bags. For more information about Realms click here; [link] In her own words she explains the concept and her design choices; "Alright I made this a symbol of The Dealer a Realms god of Gambling, Luck, and Chance. What do you think of it? Red and Gold are the most common colors I've found for luck. I made it coin shaped to draw wealth and represent the toss of a coin. Heads or Tails!? The dice where a problem, I was lost on how many and what sides would show. Finally, with a bit of discussion, settled on a 1 and a 6. The highest and the lowest that together make lucky 7. I also added the card suits based on their original tarot suits and directions and elements based on Native American beliefs (Sorry for any translation errors that occur from mixing two such different cultures) Hearts/ Cups/ Water/ West lies the path of souls where the Indian must cross a large body of water or river in order for his or her soul to enter the spirit world, leaving the human form behind to become one with the Earth, thus repeating the cycle of life and death and renewal. Diamonds/ Coins/ Earth/ East marks the beginning of the life cycle for it is where the Sun first raises it also symbolizes wisdom, knowledge, and wealth Clubs/ Clubs/ Fire/ South represents change as the southern winds bring forth a seasonal renewal to the Earth. Spades/ Swords/ Air/ North represents strength, stamina and endurance." |
