Description: I do not recall why I took this photograph. The lighting was perfect, so I decided to experiment a little and ended up with a few good shots. The symbolism of the image relies on the object in combination with the color. The brown book with glowing letters may symbolize the knowledge grounded in experience. If a viewer is unfamiliar with Tarot, the meaning of the words on the open pages may not matter, but if he/she is a Tarot enthusiast, the visible text may add a new angle to the general symbolism of the photograph. Number 115 could mean the initiation of a breakthrough, a movement forward under the guidance of love and idealism. The visible words indicate potential conflict, but also the availability of energy to overcome it. If we combine general and Tarot-specific sides of the description, we get the initiation of action inspired by love, guided by knowledge and experience to achieve success.
