Description

This is my [ TAROT - Project ]
I'm just using old artwork to make this Card, so maybe it doesn't meet this description

High Priestess: Revelation, Mystery, Depth, Purity
The High Priestess is the guardian of the unconscious. She is the archetypal moon goddess, virginal and pure. She sits in front of the thin veil of unawareness which is all that separates us from our inner knowledge. She contains the secrets of spiritual enlightenment and inner illumination. The High Priestess is the feminine principle that balances the masculine force of the Magician.. On the journey of self-transformation, once the Fool decides he wants the self-mastery to become a Magician/Magus, The Priestess is his first teacher, initiating him into the ancient process of self-transformation and transcendence.

Beautiful technique, I love the colours..and the dress design is incredible...
just some minor nitpicks....please don't be offended...

mushrooms work well as some kinds can take down the veil of unawareness...my only crit symbolically would be to have some moon imagery..it is a bit cliche..but well I think Tarot has necessary traditions..

will that border be on all the cards? it is great..perhaps a bit distracting...but lovely detail.. the type seems too big.. it's not quite that important..the box it is in..is not symmetrical...

Well painted

Pleasing overall effect

It's not Tarot style. Tarot is pure symbolism as opposed to realism

Overall it's great. Only, it doesn't look like a tarot card. More like when someone (us, the viewer) look from a window. Agree with BaronImpossible about symbolism

Can't tell much, this is great, but tends to look more like an Empress card than nothing else.

Oh and you might wanna fix the quality of the image as well too. It feels a little blurred.
