On this card we see a hand with flaming fingertips. In the background are water and hills covered with vegetation.
What a wonderful card! I just love this representation compared with the RWS versions. In the LWB Place calls this card 'The Burning Hand' saying it represents creative energy.
So if the flaming finger-tips represent our creative energy then this card may be a reminder that we need to find an outlet for that creative urge, or else we may end up burning ourselves up, with frustration perhaps. Sometimes we begin a new project full of enthusiasm and inspiration and rush at it 100 miles an hour, the risk of course is that we burn ourselves out. Perhaps this card could also be a reminder to start slowly and keep the flame alive, rather than risking burnt fingers
There is another thread on this forum somewhere called 'six word memoirs' I think. It asks you to choose a card and then think of six words to capture the meaning. I used this card and this is what I came up with...
Pace yourself to avoid getting burned
