firemaiden
Margarete Petersen : Seven of Coins
Description for Sieben der Münzen
A flower (a lily? a tiger-lily?) rises above an image-patchwork of old bones, archeological artefacts, cave paintings, dried paint, peeling wallpaper? -- reminds me of peeling back the layers of paint in an old apartment to reveal the wall treatments (and therefore an essense of the lives) of the previous inhabitants.

Growth--Decay. Doing by NOT DOING. You can neither touch Time, nor eat, hear, see or hold onto Time. Time is powerful and noone can elude the Laws of the time's passage. Matter is inhabited and marked by time. This card tells the story of time. Pre-historic cave paintings. A skeleton, whose flesh has returned to earth. The lifetimes of plants, men, animals, bacteria are affected through separate, and yet interdependant time-frames. Through decay, growth is possible. Through growth, decay is necessary. The secret of beauty unfolds in the intangible, like a flower which opens and in its beauty already shows the Aura of Decay. Don't intervene, allow the growth processes to happen.
