Analytical Eye Spy - Major Arcana

Top to bottom, the imagery I see in my deck of cards

0 - The Fool

• large yellow moon, top right
  
• black earth, bottom left
  
• blue sky between the two
  
• blond-haired, blue-eyed boy (nymph) running from the moon to the earth
  
• definite feeling of movement of earth and sky from top left to bottom right
  
• boy wearing crown of lotus flowers, blue vest with feathered cap sleeves and multi-colored buttons with a feathered skirt
  
• triangle emblem on vest
  
• carrying a green square purse with a blue oval symbol in the middle (the universe?) in one hand and a large flower resembling cotton in the other
  
• shadows (reflections?) of the flower trail in the top left corner
  
• rainbow streaks in the earth and sky... very Starry Night
  
• wearing red slippers with a large rose on the toe
  
• the Hebrew letter Aleph is on the shoe
  
• a wolf is running next to the boy
  

I - The Magus

• yellow infinity swirl of magic
  
• masked magician
  
• "the hand is quicker than the eye" - the magicians hands are pointing three different directions in a sort of lambda configuration
  
• black vs. white robes
  
• man vs. woman - magician is androgynous
  
• all four elements on a block: full cup top center, sword and wand crossed in center, coin shining at bottom center.
  
• symbol for Mercury on the bottom front of the block
  
• swirling red and green pools at the feet of the magician
  
• The Hebrew letter Bet/Vet in the bottom center of the card
