Four Suits, Four Elements
This piece represents Four Suits, Four Elements. The suits of playing card decks have evolved across cultures and time with many numerological and religious explanations of the symbolism, but the most meaningful to me is that the four suits represent the four elements and their qualities.
- Laurels The interlocking laurel leaf branches are a historic emblem that signifies accomplishment and glory.
- Heart The Heart is love, and we need to open ours to connect, Cor ad Cor, Heart to Heart. And then all will be right in the world.
- reverie_butterfly This butterfly is meant to celebrate the soul and what gives our life meaning. In celebration of our own soul’s search for the light of our life purpose, like the Myth of Psyche in Greek mythology, following her bliss. Aligning and Re-connecting with our Soul; the absolute, undeniable, irrevocable connection with our essence. They can represent the defiant shout that our soul is ours alone to fuel and fire. It also celebrates the souls we cherish and keep close to us: a soul mate, our children, our parents. It is cathartic when grieving the loss of a beloved soul. It honors the birth of a new soul. In friendship, in love, in grief, in joy, for what is a soul but the metamorphosis of the individual from the divine; the beyond, between, and the after of everything this life encompasses. There is an end to life, but not of love.
- Spark It just takes a spark to initiate a life of love and light.
- Four Heart Clover 4 hearts combined to create the four heart clover. The clover is a symbol of fire. Transformation, energy, passion, charisma, identity, creativity, will-power, impulsiveness.
