Share with love

October 19: The leaves on the vine are coloring yellow. The grape harvest is inside. The wine is bottled. What did I bottle this fall; what is my whine?
These questions are very helpful to reflect daily on where I am now, where do I come from and where do I want to go from here. Today another question about  my personal harvest. To help me answer this question, the queen of Pentacles from the Anna K Tarot  has made her appearance. An appropriate card I think.  All the pentacles of this deck have that earthy feel. In this card the queen doesn't seem as regal as in other decks. To me she looks more like a warm cuddly mother.(I even suspect she is pregnant; look at her left hand J) She’s content and satisfied; the harvest (but one) is over. The fruits are picked. All different kind of fruits are gathered In the baskets. There is something for everyone’s taste . And most of all there’s enough. She is the nurturer of the kingdom. She sees to it, with love and care, that every material need is met.
But what do all those baskets carry? what are the fruits I enjoy the most? which do I share and which are mine to keep?  As always tarot cards tend to raise more questions than give answers.
In any way I feel that it’s important to share my talents and goods with love and affection. I am very much a Hermit person. This Queen, as all queens, is all about letting things flow and prevent them from becoming stagnant.
So it is essential that I keep in mind that sharing with others is  fulfilling, healing comforting and healthy
My eldest daughter is baking red velvet cupcakes. She will be our queen of pentacles today. Yummy! J

  1. I've never noticed the slight bulge this queen covers with her hand - I do believe she is pregnant! Blessings for now and blessings for later... :)

    1. It always amazes me how accurate the cards come up. It is my favorite time to. I love it!
      The first batch has landed in the dustbin, but the second batch (other recipe ) looks delicious :)

  3. She looks like someone who has worked for her harvest, rather than the queenie who gleans from others work.
    Thumbs up!

    1. Yes it is gorgeous. The colors are so vibrant and the cards read like a storybook.
      The questions are not my own. I have just translated them:)
