Visually, this is one of my least favorite cards in the Tarot of Vampyres deck. I don’t particularly like the appearance of this young Vampyress – preferring more womanly vampyres over some little girl…and I hate her fucking boots. However, reading the card I get the impression she has killed with a cool detachment.
I’ve always viewed children as being more vicious and cold-blooded than adults. Devoid of the concepts of morality, they know where and when to strike – as seen with this young killer. There’s no grace or seduction here, just pure animalistic lust. Think Lord of the Flies.
Message: I need to push aside my inherent tempestuous nature and strike with heartless precision.
