This card at first seems to sparse to me. a woman, a merlin, a wall... what can there be in that?!
Sooooo much! When ever I see this card I think of the hardworking lady of the manor, when being a lords wife wasnt just about looking pretty and doing nothing, it was being the manager of all the household, the family, the harvest and making sure food stores lasted throughout the winter. The lady would have been under a lot of pressure to keep her lord into the manor he was accustomed to so he can provide for all the community.
And now this lady is taking a well earned day off.. walking her grounds, feeling the essence of her land and what her hard work is all for. She might be walking and being with her merlin, but there is so much more happening here. She is absorbing and feeling her worth rather than her wealth, being grounded and comfortable and putting all the stresses of everyday life into perspective.
So theres a feeling of groundedness and perspective here - that there is money or the sake of it, and feeling worthy and comfortable. A time of enjoying what you have and appreciating its full value, even though it might seem a little amount.
And in doing that, keeping in touch with her 'roots' the wall reflects that how shes not reaching beyond her means, but keeping a strong sturdy wall rather than a rushed flimsy thing. Her wealth (be it money or experience or worth etc) is based on from deep within. I know what I'm trying to say about the wall but I find it hard to put it into words, but the wall is very important for me here lol. Is the wall important for you?
Its a beautiful card - but then arent they all!
