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
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... :)
ReplyDeleteThis was for me also the first time I've noticed it. Yes it nice to have some blessings in store :)
DeleteWhat a nice card for Fall. It captures everything I like most about this time of year, and this is my favorite time. Enjoy the cupcakes!
ReplyDeleteIt always amazes me how accurate the cards come up. It is my favorite time to. I love it!
DeleteThe first batch has landed in the dustbin, but the second batch (other recipe ) looks delicious :)
She looks like someone who has worked for her harvest, rather than the queenie who gleans from others work.
ReplyDeleteThumbs up!
Yes she is indeed a queen with an apron :D
DeleteI'm loving this deck. On my wishlist now. I really like your initial questions, Ellen. Good to quiz oneself!
ReplyDeleteYes it is gorgeous. The colors are so vibrant and the cards read like a storybook.
DeleteThe questions are not my own. I have just translated them:)
