| Arthurian Tarot, 1990 |
You get today's card from Arthurian Tarot (Aquarian, 1990), Stone Three.
What a bizarre image, but as 3 of Coins is the card of craftsmanship, it works on many levels. First, there is the craftsmanship of the little standing stone, a monument to an ancient skill. Then the field to represent agriculture. The roads show signs of civilization. And of course the figure itself is both an example of artistry and handicraft as well as portraying the blacksmith, whose skills were considered sacred and magical. (And you'd have to have special powers to do your smithing both nude and in a rather excited state that would surely distract).
May all I do today be done with care and skill.
Mantra: Om shree vishwakarmaya namo namah (Vishwakarma is the Hindu god of arts, architecture, crafts and creation in general. He is the blacksmith to the devas.)
Flower essence: Larch (for confidence in abilities)
At first I thought he was holding up two babies, and then when I saw it was the three of pentacles, I thought, "Oh, those must be tools." lol I wonder how I would interpret this card if they were babies. Ha!
ReplyDeleteI guess it's symbolic of the sheer, virile creativity of being a smith, but definitely far from practical ;D
