Week 118 Challenge
If I've not been around lately it's because my husband was home on R&R in the middle of his deployment. I do apologize for not paying th community quite the attention it deserves, but spending time with him came first. Sunday I will be taking him to the airport to say good-bye for several more months so I think you can guess where I got the idea for this week's challenge from.
This week's theme:
longing
There are only three rules for these icons:
Tarot Challenge
This week's card:
18 The Moon
At its most basic level, The Moon stands for "Deception, trickery, disillusionment, error, danger, disgrace, double-dealing " according to The Mystic Eye Web site and inverted, it stands for "Deception is discovered before damage can be done, trifling mistakes, taking advantage of someone." This is a card that has to do with sleep, and so with both dreams and nightmares. It is a scary card in that it warns that there might be hidden enemies, tricks and falsehoods. But it should also be remembered that this is a card of great creativity, of powerful magic, primal feelings and intuition.
A more detailed description for The Moon can be found at both Aeclectic Tarot and Lost and Found.
There are only four rules for these icons:
Other notes: Any text is acceptable, though quotes from The Last Unicorn, either the movie or the novel, are preferable. That being said, I do want to reiterate to everyone that Tarot cards were made for an illiterate society, and thus heavily image-based. So I would like to encourage our icon-makers to keep with this tradition, but I won't throw out any icons with additional text on them. Brushes, borders, etc. are perfectly fine. Also, it is perfectly acceptable for the text and/or brushes etc. in the icon convey the theme. Of course, all the usual rules also apply (you can't show your icon to anyone until after the winners have been announced, icons must be up to lj's standards, no animation, etc.).
A maximum of TWO entries for the THEME Challenge this week and TWO for the Tarot Challenge.
Be sure to:

There are only four rules for these icons:
- You must include the name of the card - in this case, "The Moon " - somewhere on the icon. (The number - 18, in this case - is optional, and Roman Numerals are acceptable.)
- The icon must somehow convey the traditional meaning of the Major Arcana card it is meant to represent.
- You must use an image from the 1982 animated film The Last Unicorn. Use of multiple images is acceptable, so long as they're from the 1982 animated film The Last Unicorn.
- If you're confused by anything, or have any questions, just ask. My contact info can be found in the community's info page.
