Strength
This card presents a Slavic vision of Strength: a red-haired huntress, likely Devana, riding a massive dark zubr through an evergreen forest, symbolizing calm authority and harmonious command of wild power. Upright, it emphasizes mastery of instincts, patient endurance, leadership through kindness, and the ability to protect, heal, and persist without force. It invites aligning body and heart, channeling passion into purposeful action, and earning trust through compassionate steadiness. Reversed, it warns of doubt, impatience, drained vitality, and attempts to control what requires gentleness, with pride or shame making one harsh. The remedy is to return to center, rest and rebuild, practice compassionate boundaries, and let power move through respect rather than force.

Visual description
In a dense evergreen forest, a young woman with flowing red hair sits bareback atop a massive dark bison. She wears a leafy wreath crowned with curved antlers, and ribbons stream from her hair. Yellow wildflowers and tangled roots crowd the forest floor as the bison steps forward. The word “STRENGTH” appears at the bottom border.
Meaning
Meaning — Upright
In this Slavic vision of Strength, the forest huntress—likely Devana—rides the zubr by presence alone, her calm seat turning thunderous muscle into willing power. She reminds you that true courage is quiet, steady, and compassionate, the kind that soothes fear rather than wrestles it to the ground. Upright, this card speaks of mastery of instincts, patient endurance, and leadership through kindness; you can protect, heal, and persist without raising your voice. It invites you to align body and heart, to channel passion into purposeful action, and to earn trust—of others and of your own wild self. Challenges yield when you breathe, soften the grip, and meet them with dignity.
Meaning — Reversed
Reversed, the bison bolts: doubt frays your nerve, impatience tempts you to force outcomes, and pride or shame can make you harsh with yourself or others. You may be draining your vitality or letting anger mask vulnerability, trying to control what needs gentleness. Return to center, rest and rebuild, practice compassionate boundaries, and your power will move again like a great animal beside you—tamed not by chains, but by respect.
