Yarilo
The Sun
"All hail the Perennial King"
Through fields of sunflowers, under velvet cerulean skies, an ancient god rides. Dressed in cheers and unbridled laughter: his enigmatic steed kicks up soft earth and myriad seeds, spreading the green gift of life, and promises of primal growth underfoot.
Have you even had a “golden era.”
Where everything was going right? Effortless growth and movement, and in the way you wanted?
Yarilo’s appearance references such events, marking the seeker’s role as the pinnacle of the world as is.
Yarilo rides atop the weight of the world—revealed to be a great black swan. As the sun emboldens and propels the ancient king, the swan beats darker, hotter, and becomes difficult to look upon. Grief, envy, resentment, attrition—discord marked by agitated black pinions that gradually spot the sun, and drive a wedge into the spirit of his great ride.
Yarilo (Key 19) also shares affinity with Key 10: Lady Luck (1+9=10). The Wheel of Fortune. Yarilo is no fool, and a skilled rider. But with time, comes inevitability. Change will come; The swan will break free of his charge, and as the sun sets, woe and uncertainty will resume their rightful place next to prosperity.
The tragic swan requires a handler with a exemplary sense of empathy, kindness, and wisdom.
An auspicious pull, but how long can you ride the weight of the world?

All in all, there might not be a more auspicious sight in the deck for a seeker than Yarilo. Everything you’ve worked hard to sow is coming to fruition. That said, the length of your ride depends on you. The tragic swan requires a handler with a exemplary sense of empathy, kindness, and wisdom.
