Well, we’ve finished our journey through the suit of Feathers, or Swords.
And with the winter solstice (in the northern hemisphere) and our ingress to
Capricorn just past, I thought I’d turn my attention to the suit of Pentacles –
or Coins, in the Margarete Petersen deck.
What do we associate with this suit? We’re in the element of Earth, so the
practical, down-to-earth affairs that matter to us. The things that bring us a
sense of security and comfort. Work -
the ability to earn enough to keep us warm, dry and fed. That leads us to the idea of wealth, not
only in monetary terms but also in terms of our personal resources - not to
mention spiritual ones. Our health is
also covered by the Pentacles/Coins – our physical well-being affects our
comfort and sense of stability.

Here’s the Ace of Coins. I see a
seed in the centre of image, protected by the coiled serpent. The coils of the serpent hold energy – like a
seed, it’s just starting to warm up before it begins to move. New growth, beginnings,… What better card to see on this day of exchanging gifts? Merry Christmas!
Continuing with the haiku...
Earth full of
promise
Nurturing, stabilizing,
Ready to take
root.
