A Modern Spellcaster’s Justice

The Modern Spellcaster Tarot is a fabulous deck in its own right and is particularly useful for magic users, especially those who favor associating Wands with Air and Swords with Fire. That said, the elemental associations are most visually apparent in the Aces, so anyone who favors the RWS images and associations will be able to easily use this deck.
I really love the Justice card in this deck. It feels alive and engaged, not remote and reserved. This Justice cares about her job and seems to realize the effect her decisions will have on human lives and on the larger world. Melanie Marquis, the author, says this:
Just as the Wheel of Fortune keeps turning, so too dos the wheel of karma keeps spinning and the hand of Justice keep falling. Symbol of human law and karmic order, Justice settle the hash of those that Nature has failed to out through her ordinary whims of fate. Like any living organism, the world strives to achieve stasis, a balance state of being. When things fall out of balance, Justice swoops in to make it fair and make it right. We expect life to be fair, and the realization that it simply isn’t always so can be a bummer. Justice reminds us that fairness, equality, and balance do sometimes get their say. Actions have consequences, and sooner or later, those consequences will catch up to a person to either give them a push forward or to push them down in the mud.
