General Meaning
Destiny is an unknowable, uncontrollable force, affecting the world of mortals but unable to be affected itself. In this deck, it is a replacement for the Wheel of Fortune card.
Appearance
Destiny sits, calmly, patiently, and seemingly embodied in a near-human entity, though it is not a part of this world. Its motivations and thoughts cannot be understood. Its uncannily thick neck leads up to an almost beast-like snout, which encircles a multi-dimensional infinity portal. Within it spin many small orbs, which dance and weave a future that cannot be predicted.
Symbolism
As it weaves the strands of collective fate, it towers over the golden sphere that is our world, protective yet menacing. In his two lower hands he holds an upright and downturned triangle, symbols of opposition: earth and heaven, good and evil, beginning, and end.
Interpretation
Destiny represents events that are beyond human control or prediction, whether for better or worse. These can sometimes be life-altering, bringing an uncanny feeling of fate or inevitability.
Additional Artwork
Within Destiny’s infinity portal, multiple interweaving strands represent the three Fates, or Moirai, of Greek mythology. Spinners whose thread dictated the lives, experiences, and deaths of mortal humans, all beings of the world, including the gods, were bound by their judgments. Clotho spun the thread on her spindle, Lachesis measured the length of life, and Atropos cut the thread, choosing the means by which the person would die. Similar agents of fate and destiny can be found in other mythologies, including the Roman Parcae, the Norse Norns, and the Russian Rozhanicy. Vedic religion of ancient India writes of Rta, a principle or true order of things that all beings, gods included, must inevitably follow.
