"There
is a distinct advantage of undertaking your own artwork for
oracle/divination cards. The artwork grows with you, and becomes infused
with the essence of your authentic and inimitable magick... as well as
having the symbology and insights you want in it.
Take the artwork for "Realisation" for example, the unique artwork is based on the concept of different levels & dimensions of communication occurring within a magician's awareness; and the mechanism of thought transference a little akin to 'chinese whispers' within the levels of the magician's consciousness.
The insight here is basically that which was was originally communicated by the higher consciousness source may not necessarily be what the magician speaks of on the earth plane. The intention of the direct thought from outside of the earth plane may not be realised.
The artwork applies the need for discipline and experience in the part of the magician to convey the purity of the energy that transcends the levels. Because it is energy, the selfish separate self is a risk to the higher planes, this shadowy essence of human consciousness can distort and tarnish the purity of the energy being brought into the earth plane.
This is the major problem the higher realms finds with employing inexperienced magicians to convey their messages. Hence the concept of these energy exchanges being like chinese whispers, as the inexperienced magician will either be mislead by the separate selfish self to extend the wrong energy into the earth plane, or they are not competent enough to hear and convey the original message." - Matthew James
