This 6x8" giclée print features the King of Clubs playing card from Caelestes, a deck inspired by medieval interpretations of time and space.
The King of Clubs is Sagittarius’s card, featuring an illustration of a celestial hand tossing acorns from a basket, gathered to fatten the pigs for winter.
In the Caelestes deck, each of the court cards correspond to an astrological sign, which is determined by the card’s value for modality (fixed, cardinal, mutable) and the card’s suit for its element (water, earth, fire, air). Kings are mutable modality, occurring at the end of their seasons. Clubs correspond to the tarot suit wands, which in turn represents the element of fire.
Thus, the King of Clubs is our Sagittarius card - the fire sign occurring late-fall. The illustrations on each court card take inspiration from documented Medieval labors of their respective seasons, creating a calendar.
