Artist's commentary
Pokemon Tarot Series XXI
The World: Arceus
The Cosmic Creator: Arceus, as the origin and creator of the Pokémon world, perfectly embodies the themes of fulfillment, wholeness, and unity represented by The World card. Its divine presence symbolizes the culmination of a journey and the harmony achieved through balance and enlightenment.
Completion and Unity: The World signifies the end of a cycle, the achievement of goals, and the harmonious integration of opposites. Arceus’s design, with its ethereal ring and celestial appearance, represents the interconnectedness of all elements and the ultimate balance of the universe.
Mastery and Perfection: As the Alpha Pokémon, Arceus embodies the pinnacle of creation and mastery. The World card encourages embracing both the external and internal worlds, and Arceus, as the central figure of existence, reflects the perfection found when one aligns with universal truth.
A Guide to New Beginnings: The World doesn’t just mark the end; it also hints at the start of a new journey. Arceus’s role in mythology, creating life and guiding the balance of the Pokémon universe, mirrors this transition from completion to new opportunities.
Balance of Forces: The World card speaks to the harmony of opposing forces, and Arceus’s ability to change types through its plates demonstrates its mastery over all elements, embodying balance, adaptability, and inclusiveness.
Symbol of Harmony and Fulfillment: Arceus stands as a beacon of unity and understanding. Its serene yet commanding presence encourages embracing the interconnected nature of life and the beauty of the entire journey.
Arceus’s divine energy and universal significance make it the ideal Pokémon to represent The World in the Pokémon Tarot Arcana.
