The Man On Stilts

Probably aligned with The Chariot or perhaps Strength

The number three card of the deck.

Obviously a powerful and intricately illustrated card. The Man on Stilts wears a powerful suit of functional armour. This is important, he is not just protected, he is protected by an armed suit, his outer skin is un yielding and formidable. His stilts are mad for leaping across distances which accelerate his speed in dealing with enemies. His shadow suggest a spider.

In past and present positions the card represents a person of strength and character but who probably remains reclusive and is "hard to get to know". The person is either a leader of those around him or a strong ally within an organization. In future positions the card signifies greater. This is indicative of a situation which must be dealt with in string terms. Problems will be coming from the left and right, and from behind and there will be a frontal assault. The armour is in full deployment. Be prepared for a fight.

In the inverted position the card could represent a lack of full armement Weakness or loss of nerve. It should be noted that the spider shaped shadow is more predominate in the inverted position and it should be asked if the battle ahead is actually a lure to a potential enemy. Is there someone or something which is drawn to the spiders web?
