Three of Pentacles- adapting my creative choices

Tarot of the Hidden Realm Three of Pentacles Julia Jeffrey
Today’s card is the Three of Pentacles from the Tarot of the Hidden Realm. Here we see an older Fey man; a skilled craftsman busy in his workshop. He is creating torcs, an ancient type of jewelry. They were often used to identify the wearer as a person of high rank. The craftsman is enjoying his work and the process of creating. First there is the vision of the torc he wants to create and then trough his hands this idea slowly becomes tangible.
When I look at his card I feel somewhat envious. Probable because I miss my creative outlet. Usually I am going to my craft room quite regularly and there I play with paint and paper scraps.This is my “humming time”
Tarot of the Hidden Realm Five of Pentacles Julia Jeffrey.But since Jofee has arrived, a lot has changed.  But is this really the main reason why I am not creating? I pulled another card and I had to laugh out loud! 
Of course: My girls are both ill. Although M is recovering slowly, S is feeling a lot worse. And I feel like the comforting woman in the Five of Pentacles, taking care of them both. And most important watching Jofee for them. Now I realize this is only temporary. When everybody is up and about again, there will be enough time for me to go to my “workshop”. For the time being I have brought my watercolors and my watercolor pencils downstairs. These  art supplies won’t  make such a mess and I can leave on the table until I can find some spare moments to play and hum…

  1. Wow, I don't think you could have pulled two more perfect cards for your situation! I can relate to wanting to do something (especially that was planned) and then having life pull you off track. When I have those kind of days, I try to tell myself that it is an unplanned opportunity for me to work on my spiritual self - patience, compassion and kindness. Hugs to you and the girls; hope everyone feels better soon!

  2. I love this post. Your creativity isn't going anywhere. Also the Three of Pentacles is so much about being part of something bigger...you're taking a role for your family right now and that is a creative act too.

    Hope your girls get better soon! x

  3. Glad that you are finding even little ways to give yourself some humming time :) It's so important to tap into your creativity, as it improves your mood, and then you can better cope with helping the girls get better.

    1. It sure does. Yesterday I've been doodling with pen and coloring it with watercolors. Yeah!
