The Snowdrop Becomes the Page of Cups

I love the stories of Hans Christian Andersen, and several of them feature frosty landscapes and snow creatures.

One such story is "The Snowdrop", which I felt would make a marvelous Page of Cups for our Snowland Tarot.

I consider the Pages "Fool-like", in that they are often naive, premature, spontaneous and youthfully exuberant. In "The Snowdrop" by Hans Christian Andersen, the lovely white flower emerges while the snow still covers the ground.

Below is the inspirational photo for The Snowdrop card:

And below is Ron's anthropomorphic rendering of the impetuous Snowdrop:
