I'm taking part today in
Monday Murals hosted by Sami.
Today is World Tarot Day
so I am featuring a mural
depicting three tarot cards.
The cards represent the unknown artist's interpretation of
the Temperance, World and Star cards of the Major Arcana.
This mural was painted on the side of a
pagan, goth and kink "Curio Shoppe"
located in a trendy area in Edmonton
known for shopping, bars and restaurants.
Both the store and the mural are now long gone, alas.

This mural is so artistic
ReplyDelete...a pagan, goth and kink "Curio Shoppe" sounds interesting.
ReplyDeleteVery interesting interpretations of those cards!
ReplyDeleteGood mural because it’s an interesting topic, nicely illustrated, and connects to the building.
ReplyDeleteWhat is there now?
ReplyDelete@ Jackie McGuinness -- Nothing. The building itself was ripped down.
DeleteThey're beautiful. Damn shame art like this vanishes.
ReplyDeleteNicely done.
ReplyDeleteWhat is temperance holding up? Even enlarged I cannot make it out. Thanks for the lovely cards.
ReplyDelete@ Joanne Noragon -- The Temperance card is traditionally about the mixing of opposites, so I believe the alchemist is holding up a bowl of Elemental Fire and pouring it into a bowl of Elemental Water/Ice. That's my interpretation, anyway! Or maybe it's strawberry sauce and ice cream!
DeleteWow! This is a great mural. We no longer have any kind of shops like this here.
ReplyDeleteLove these atmospheric interpretations. I'm glad you took a photo and saved them for posterity.
ReplyDeleteThinking I might pull a card today and see what's likely...
Wow, very beautiful mural!
ReplyDeleteHi Debra, These are very interesting, but can you "read" them for us? --Jim
ReplyDelete@ Parnassus -- My interpretation of this 3-card spread would be: "Pursue a middle path between the extremes of life and you will find fulfilment, your soul's purpose, and peace."
DeleteToo bad the store and mural are gone. The mural was interesting.
ReplyDeleteYes to maximum murals in the world.
ReplyDeleteGood one. At least you have a record of it, Debra.
ReplyDeleteSorry to hear the building and it's art no longer exists.
ReplyDeleteWhat a cool mural. A shame it’s gone. Every time I see a mural now, I think of you and these posts. I’ve got just a few to share.
ReplyDeleteWhat a pity the murals no longer exist, as they were quite interesting and an unusual topic. Thanks for participating in Monday Murals Debra.
ReplyDeleteI do love this feature.
ReplyDeleteWow. I love to see different interpretations of tarot cards. That would have been so perfect for that little store. Would certainly draw me in
ReplyDeleteThat's a cool mural today.
ReplyDelete"pagan, goth and kink"
ReplyDeleteI would have checked such a store out, at least once.
Wonderful mural Debra!
ReplyDeleteHave a beautiful day!
Very interesting murals!
