Gillabel, Dirk was born in 1959. The sixties passed him by, he was too young to understand what was happening. Dirk had heard the songs of the Beatles, but it wasn't until 1990 that he first heard "The Fool on the Hill". It absolutely entranced him. The Tarot door flew open and inspiration came in to create a new Major Arcana. It was a pure pleasure to create the images. All are representative of his mood at that time, which was influenced by the Beatles' songs. Only three images are directly related to the Beatles. Card 0 is the Fool on the Hill. Card 12 is a compilation of the the four Beatles, the Yellow Submarine and Lucy in the Sky. Card 19.20.21 (one card) is "the woman with the sun in her eyes". Not all of the images have a specific reason for being there. Some of them simply presented themselves to Dirk's mind. As a result of his previous work with the tarot He had learned to attune himself to the essence of the cards and accept whatever his intuition presented. He intuitively knew card 11 had to have an upright sword. Then the image of a woman came through; she wanted to be in the upper left corner. Dirk had no idea what she had to do with this card, but he accepted it and complied with her demand. Many months later, when meditating on the deck, he finally understood. Her presence is needed to show the sword as representing the forging of will power. This is very important if you want to wield your Strength. Wielding a sword implies the right use of your Strength. Look to her face and she will tell you what your Strength is about and how to use it properly.
