Annotated Visual References for Card XVII. The STAR
When you wish upon a STAR your Dreams Come True. Transformational moments feel like being transported to your STAR on a golden ship.
In Peter Pan, a great adventure story, after the children (Michael, John, and Wendy) overcome the pirates in Never Land, the pirate ship magically transforms into a golden vessel and carries them through the sky. [At this point, they discuss the possibility of themselves becoming the pirates.] It seems that dreams come true, and/or/both change as we go from one dream to the next. Faith in pursuing our true desires provides the magic that guides us to our special STAR.
Source of images: The golden pirate ship flying through the sky is from: Disney, W. (n.d.) Peter Pan, New York: Gallery Books, p. 90. The two stars were added as a reference to the directions of how to get to the magic world of Never Land: “second star to the right and straight on until morning.” This is the least digitally altered image in the Pirate Tarot OTMB. It epitomizes the spirit of The STAR. It is a simple statement, like the Campbell’s soup can art by Andy Warhol, all it needs to be presented is a frame (canvas). Eight pointed star from “The Star,” Card XVII in: The Alchemical Tarot (1995) by R. Guily and R. Place, London: Harper-Collins Publishers.
