Variations of the Card

The Sun card is pretty much universally seen as an extremely positive sign in the deck – except for a couple of smart-aleck artists on this site. The standard RWS Sun shows a nude child riding a pony in front of a wall of sunflowers. Unlike the Moon beforehand, not one of the decks on Tarotsmith follows this example regarding this card.

bifrost displays Thoth-style symbolism in the Sun card. The division of the heavens by the zodiac around the Sun comes from the Book of Thoth. bifrost shows this, along with the trinity of god, angel, and devil in celebration.




Langustl’s Sun appears to have scorched the sky. Beaming golden rays of sunshine fill the sky like a bright morning after an all-nighter. However excessive the light seems in the air, notice all the plants are thriving.

Surrealist turns the lights up even brighter to the point where the Sun scorches the earth. It vomits excessive brilliance onto the city like a sick tap. Diary takes one step further, showing the devastation that excess brings. Could the burning angel of this card be a victim of the solar plague in the Surrealist City? Or could this be the bearer of light burning up?
