13. Child ♠J – Neutral
Key Phrase: This Time, We Are the Child
This card adopts a unique perspective—the viewpoint of a child, where everything appears large and full of wonder. The toy game console represents playfulness, as well as the tendency to become easily absorbed or lack experience, symbolizing beginnings and innocence. The character in the game is “oneself” and also a companion, hinting at a new journey. The “hero” in the game, the hero’s photo on the wall, and the castle blocks further reinforce dreams of adventure.
A blank sheet of paper and primary-colored pens symbolize limitless possibilities. Beside it, a worn and damaged teddy bear (similar to the one in the Bear card) emphasizes vulnerability, weakness, and companionship rather than strength and protection. After all, doesn’t every child dream of becoming a hero someday?
