Jewel-ry
Hello everyone,
I pulled this card today and was immediately struck by the combination of youth and maturity that are shown in it.
Maturity can be seen in the very old books and the age of the ripened timber in the bookcase. I like the inclusion of the rich wood here as I immediately think of trees and wisdom, books and knowledge. The books must hold a wealth of knowledge, we are told they are old registers of property ownership which links nicely with both the property aspect and the knowledge aspect of this earthy suit.
The page could be male or female but his/her gown is miles too big. As the page, the emphasis is on study, learning and knowledge and as he grows in experience and maturity his gown will fit!
There are opportunities to learn right here but are we receptive? This page is. The looseness of the sleeves of his robe and the cupboards flung wide open, invite us to delve in and absorb all that knowledge. Learning is such a great and important part of our lives, it is exciting but can become obsessive.
His castle looks important to him and makes me think of his ancestral home, perhaps inheritance or something handed down through the generations.
The beautiful Sun pentacle oversees the whole proceedings and smiles contentedly. The Sun a symbol of knowledge, understanding and growth. Life on Earth requires it, either directly or indirectly, in order to thrive.
Overall, a lovely, rich, 'oldie-worldie' card.
