XI – Fortitude

The image of a woman holding dominance over a lion on this card is representative moderation toward (typically internal) pain and danger; neither avoiding nor actively seeking either.

This card is also associated with Gilgamesh, who was punished by the goddess Ishtar to learn what it means to be human. He finds this nature within himself, but also discovers death.
