Many, many months ago, the beautiful Manna (who, btw, was run off yt and Vimeo and her website is also down!!!!!) described this Brian Froud card in approx these terms. From memory.

 

The Fee Lion shows a creature that is faithless/soul-less and drained.

Someone who has NO belief in a higher power than themselves.

See the bent and skeletal spine and broken wings?

These come from a lifetime of searching the UnderWorld for their nourishment.

 

Adalina -where arest thou ? ? ?

 

P.S. If I had the wherewithal – I’d make a deck with this thing (or something similar) riding atop a Pale Horse :o)

 

“And I looked, and behold a pale horse: and his name that sat on him was Death, and Hell followed with him.”
