11 - The Woodward
The classical Tarot image of Strength is a beautiful, mature woman controlling or holding a lion. The inherent balance of this image shows the calm beauty of patience and love countering the unbridled emotions of anger and hate.
This card is a representation of inner power that comes with facing fear and understanding the nature of darkness. The Hunter is looking out for it's prey, which is the solution(s) to a moment of crisis. He is a learner or is a learnt person of patience and resolution, but a certain fierceness is also needed.
When faced with challenges, one must find our own inner backstop, the point of which we will not retreat, or from which we can bravely move forward with some quiet confidence.
