Rede Seeker
A busy fellow in a somewhat gloomy place. He's dressed it up to his liking, though, and is busy studying his craft.
There is a small high window through which the sun beams brightly. There is a patch of blue sky behind it and a hint of foliage in the lower left corner. Three clear crystal points rest on the lower right corner of the high window. Outside his enclosure, it might be quite pleasant.
Our Page smiles as he works. He sits on a stool at a heavy wooden table. The table stands on what looks to be red carpet. It could be the beginnings of the pentacle pattern we see beneath the Knight of Pentacles, the Queen and King. There is a ledger book, a strand of pearls, and columns and purses of golden coins placed on the table top. The purses are purple sacks with a pentacle pattern on the outside and green drawstrings. The Page holds a quill in his right hand and appears to be marking in the ledger while he counts with his left hand.
There is something blue in the left corner of the Page's enclosed space/room. Any thoughts on what that could be?
There is a tall vase of tiger lilies set in front of the Page and another bouquet of tiger lilies to his left.
Our Page wears a tight cap with a feather. He wears a white, long sleeved shirt and his trousers are blue (denim?) He wears high gold-colored bootes. Long white sleeves are a daring thing to wear when writing with a quill - what's to keep his cuffs clean? Practice, Practice, Practice. No sign in this card that those cuffs have been smudged - he takes his position seriously and attends to his grooming.
He wears a purple cloak. I'm not sure if it's fastened at the neck with a gold coin/pentacle or if the pentacle is a pendant to the pearl necklace he wears.
There is a large red flower at each top corner of this card. It looks to be a peony. There is a gold pentacle bracket on each column from which hangs a pearl necklace. At the lower lefthand corner, there is a large gold pentacle/coin and what looks to be peony petals. There is a purple coin purse with pentacle decoration and green and pearl purse-strings at the lower righthand corner. There are peony petals there, too.
The Rune Fehu is marked on the left column; Perthro on the right.
Fehu = Wealth and Fire of Gold = First Aettir, First Rune
Perthro = Luck and Good Fortune = Second Aettir, Sixth Rune
Fehu + Perthro = 1 + 14 = 15 = Elhaz; I see this as a warning - the Old English Rune Poem for Elhaz is:
'Elk's sedge has its home most often in the fen,
It waxes in the water and grimly wounds and burns with blood
Any man who, in any way, tries to grasp it.'
The warning is to gently hold what you have; gently gather it - if you go too quickly, or rashly - what you desire will wound you.
Our Page seems content with his/her lessons. He/she is disciplined (working indoors while the sun and sky indicate a beautiful day outside). His chair is not a particularly comfortable one, but it makes getting up and moving on easier. That's what our Page wants - to perfect his craft and move to the next step. The warning is to not rush that process.
