Hi Shepard,

This review is about your Tarot card number 14, Temperence. Your descriptive note states “The paradox of peace and force.” The descriptions you write on each one of your cards are valuable giving me the gist of that particular card.

Illustration: Your image of Temperance is one of calm and peace. She does not draw attention to herself. She is busy possibly pruning a tree to keep it in the right perspective. I feel peaceful when I look at it here. The colors are calming and her body on both sides is even, balanced. Her face is unique with her long slender face. Another appropriate picture to match the poem.

Poem: The contrast between temperance, commonly referring to alcohol consumption, and the force of doing something without constraint has consequences. The poem suggests there are evil forces that will disavow calm. People will go to an extreme, like drinking too much, and have consequences up to and including death.

I noticed two things needing corrections. One is in the last line. “A warriors felled.” It should be a singular possessive of a warrior’s fall, perhaps. The title of this page is misspelled. Temperence should be Temperance.

I feel temperance can be taught at a very early age to show people a successful way to live. It helps you have a reading on not being overzealous about one thing. It dominates your thoughts as you wonder how much is too much? How do you keep things balanced without failing the test of temperance?

You did a great job finding the right words that fit into the syllable pattern comparing living life in moderation as opposed to one that gets out of control and faces serious consequences.

Write on!
