Interesting Merlin images to interpret. Just in summary here. The far left column of three has the King & Queen of Serpents and the King of Birds. It relates in someway to the contact between perhaps a specialist/consultant and a couple who had the correct genetics (??) to undertake a process .... The next two columns include The Empress and The Star and indicates the joy and excitement of a pregnancy then birth at last .... a successful pregnancy and birth at that.
The King of Birds appears influential and untrustworthy. Someone linked to many spheres of influences. Indeed in the next two columns we see The Hermit and The Priestess. It has the two of Serpents (choice) ... and suggests the procurement of The Star by forces linked in someway to the process of the first column ... the Hermit relates to the isolation and the seperation of The Star and the ongoing despair experienced by the King & Queen of Serpents (dragon blood lines?) .....
The final column of Fortune and Universe give some visual symbolism of the process involved in column one ... the top image (Fortune) suggests a needle or rod penetrating the circle ... which can suggest genetic engineering with cells etc .... the Universe indicates the emergence of life from this process. The bottom card of the last column is 'conflict' ... suggesting the disharmony this particular process has caused. The conflict around those at the heart of the mystery ....
