This is a bridge card between two suits, Committee (aspects of myself) and Council (archetypes). This one is related to an earlier card I made, The Voluptuary. Where the Voluptuary, too, is extremely sensual, her sexuality is more benign, and has to do with herself. The Femme Fatale's sexuality is other directed, more calculating: she's thinking of it as a weapon she can use. She may enjoy sex, (and both the Voluptuary and the Femme Fatale are very good at it) but she may be more contemptuous of her partner. The Voluptuary seems to me to be more a purely Committee card.
Femme Fatale - Committe/Council Suit I am the One who is exotic, sophisticated, sensual and dangerous. I use my sexuality as a weapon. I always get what I want. |
This is one of those cards where I found one image (the central one) and knew immediately I would make a card with it, but I had to wait several more months before I could find other images that would go with it. I found the second two images within the same weekend, and then sat down and immediately made the card.
This card is probably related to The Bearer of Burdens.

The Woman Who is Stressed I am the One who is overwhelmed with more than she can handle. |
I just made the Tortoise card last night.
I made the Swan awhile ago, but if I had posted it previously, I didn't tag it so I can't find it. So I'll post it again.
These are the only two Companion suit cards I've made so far. I do want to make others, but I haven't yet figured out what the animals will be.
The Tortoise (First Chakra) - Companion Suit I am the One who is rooted in the earth. I am the place of deepest retreat. I carry home wherever I go. |

The Swan (Seventh Chakra) - Companion Suit I am the One who gracefully ascends between the known and the unknown. |
