Temperance is Key Fourteen of the TIKOT! Major Arcana.

Heather Watts portrays the cardinal virtue of Temperance in the form of a winged mermaid. Partly terrestrial, partly a thing of the dark sea she embodies the opposites of both worlds to produce sublime balance. She pours liquid from a flower into a skull mug who's effervescence return to the flower perpetuating the process of life and death indefinitely. A glowing fish float replaces the traditional setting sun as representative of the death of ego. This underworld card seems right at home on black velvet and should serve as a reminder that a compromise between two seemingly incompatible options is often the best option.
