VIII. Strength
The maiden gently closes
the mouth of a lion
as if it were
but a house cat.
Her peace and fortitude earned
through the trials of her journey
as she climbed
the mountain of initiation.
The maiden knows
her strength comes
from a divine Source
as Infinity swirls
over her flower-crowned head.

i always see this card as stepping into our lion-ness
a becoming…
opening the jaws, learning to show our teeth…
(but… i am also born a boiled-in-the-wool leo,
and tend to see the world through bigcat glasses)
my character card; I’ll take your interpretation <3
Lovely! I especially feel the power of the last two lines.
