| The World tarot card, depicting a crowned woman in a red robe, stands against a gilded, patterned backdrop, holding a sceptre and a golden orb. Beneath the figure is a large, green-framed globe containing a hilly landscape dotted with cities, with a dark blue sea below it. The final card in the traditional tarot deck, this imagery symbolises mastery and harmony over the world. |
