A good, fair woman. Honest and devoted, who may do a service for the seeker. Intelligence, vision, success, happiness, pleasure, wisdom and virtue. An excellent spouse and parent.
Reversed
Different accounts: a good woman; possibly, a distinguished woman but not trustworthy. A perverse woman: vice, dishonor, depravity.
Often a healer, counselor or psychic, this is a woman who seems to know what's wrong even before you open your mouth. Call her the emotional fix-it woman, but she seems to have exactly the right solution to problems relating to home, friends, love. Sometimes she is shy, self-effacing, you might not even notice her; other times she can be a little scary, dreamy, mysterious, a creative storyteller. Affectionate and loving, she is a "mom's mom" always there to hug, heal and bake cookies for her children. Her intuition is uncanny, her temper...well, it runs very deep and you don't ever want it turned against you. Talk about scary. Unfortunately, this is also a queen who can suffer from female hormonal problems, depression, moodiness, alcoholism, drug addiction, psychological problems.

You've never heard of Tarot cards before? They've been around for centuries, this is just another interpretation of them.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Naked_Ape_(book)
I took the theme of The Naked Angel to show the second half of human potential to paraphrase the book by Desmond Morris called The Naked Ape which shows the first half of evolution.
Morris shows the development from apes to human, I thought that using the metaphor of the further human potential to angels was taking the next step.
Since the Tarot is a story of development also from Fool to Enlightened, I thought it was appropriate to show the journey along the path expressed with those symbols

Deltone:
By popular demand that's why they show up. It has to do with art and development.
It is similar in theme to the movie "The Fountain" since they both have to do with the evolution of consciousness over time.

These have a lot to do with the human condition . They are thousands of years old , these symbols , these archetypes . Even though you do not consciously understand them , your unconscious does . They are as powerful and honored as any symbol in a dream or religion .

No, angel wings, similar to hawk, eagle and vulture. They just happen to be in that kind of pose that makes them look more like that

I did one version of Death for another project of a DVD called "The Hunt for the Chakra Jewels" but I'm still tweaking it with some revisions for use in the deck

Yepper; Queen of Hearts. Not so harsh as the Queen of Spades/Swords. A tad more approachable.
