---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Tarot meaning :
This card explores some very frightening things, things we are taught to view as evil or shameful. Like earthy materialism, sexual desire, valuables, food, or drugs. Lack of control, excess, obsession and raw ambition. At its absolute worst, this is either the addict or the stalker, totally obsessed, enslaved. At its best, this is a card about giving into impulse, cutting lose, going for the gold, climbing every mountain. Among all the cards, this is one of the most complex; interestingly because no other card is so one-sided. Most cards urge balance, unity, restraint, yin-yang. Not this card. Completely tilted toward the masculine, it is a card that revels in extremity. There is a convincing argument that this is the most powerful and dangerous card in the deck. Magically speaking, it is the one card in the deck that holds the secret of how to escape the material and temporal bonds of Earth. It is a very potent and fascinating card. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------
I've made the background and some other things by using details from a Van Eyck's very nice painting : the ghent altarpiece. I've cutted off Jesus Christ and replaced him by my drawing of the Devil ahah
The latin sentence in the background is issued from the new testament, Luke 4:6-7. It refers to the temptation of Jesus by the Devil : "The devil led him up to a high place and showed him in an instant all the kingdoms of the world. And he said to him, "I will give you all their authority and splendor, for it has been given to me, and I can give it to anyone I want to. So if you worship me, it will all be yours."
No problem.
Ha, just as I was surprised at my knowledge of French my English started failing me. I meant "Van Eyck IS spinning in his grave".
Anyway, what graphics editing program do you use?

"Eyck doit se retourner dans sa tombe ^^"
Does that mean Van Eyck in spinning in his grave? I'm not that good at French, sorry.
You're right 'Van Eyck in spinning in his grave' must be the correct translation
