Any and all images of the tarot can speak of changes and transformations as varied and specific as the individual cards themselves. Yet this one, this deck's version of The Messenger or The Judgment, is the one foremost in my mind at this time of year. Do you find yourself passing through some dreary vale, separated by shadows and silence from helpful words or deeds of others? Do you go about the business of gods, actively seeking high and low for that which seems lost to our world? Do you grow more strangely certain that even from the very underworld there is the potential of return, just as surely as the sun at dawn or the flowers at springtime?

All of these threads unwind before us in the tale of Haidês' prize and Dêmêtêr's searching, of Hekatê's secrets and Zeus' judgment, of Hermês' mission - and of Persephonê's RETURN!
