Hi. I'm not sure if this study group is still going or not but I thought I'd give it a try. I need a bit of help with the Seven of Pentacles. I have read the meaning in the book which talks about standing back and letting things grow, harvest etc (the typical RWS meaning of the card). The thing I'm curious about is what the card actually depicts. I'm not Wiccan or Druid so I get a bit lost with some of the symbolism, but I thought I read somewhere once about some kind of symbolic cutting of a type of plant to represent something or other. Does this ring a bell with anyone? I thought it might be easier to understand this card if I knew about the symbolism behind it.
I find the book a bit disappointing in this way. It often gives the traditional meaning of the card but doesn't really give much background of the Druid/Wiccan symbolism that is obviously being used. I guess you could just look at this card and see some kind of 'harvest' but I just sense there is more to it than that. Also, it seems strange that you would be harvesting in the middle of winter with snow on the ground.
I'd love to hear the thoughts of others. Also, is there anyone interested in re-starting this study group and continuing with either the majors or minors?
