I wondered if the "dragon' if that is what it is is telling us that from the places of antiquity we go ahead. Things that have disappeared from the earth but Death was always there. It is a cycle. Shades of the Akashic records.
I know I did a study on Snail as it appears, I think, in the 9 of Pentacles card in RRW. From what I remember now, Snail carries its home on its back. It is very slow but progressive. It is very beautiful in its completeness and with those horns it is as if it is searching which I am sure it is as they search for food constantly as well. I will see if I can find what I wrote and if it is any good will post it.
The 4 of Wands strikes me as a version of decorating a Christmas Tree.
Celebration or expectation of good things ahead. Work but for good times.
To me the Tower is just standing there. It is not falling down so it could mean, separateness as being in your own Tower. It has not been captured.
So it does not necessarily mean destruction. Maybe a place apart to think ?
Knave a Pentacles, I do not have a good grasp on. Don't quite get it.
I see the little figure as an angel, it does have wings rather than the grim reaper. Your choice though of course.
Actually, what is a porn ? Sorry that word I don't understand.
Aerin, I like what you said about her eyes, seeing beginning, development and ending in one glance.
Also the lavender color for the spiritual aspect of her existence. Also "no companion who truly understands her existence outside time"
I do think the Ship's Wheel, defined by the spokes is the Wheel in Tarot but rather a Ship's Wheel decides the course you will follow was well when on the sea. It gives more depth than just what we think of as the Wheel of time, always changing. Always turning and taking us with it, willlingly or not.
I am not disagreeing with your wistful remark Aerin but in my head it is her saying, WELL, this is how we play the game of life. A teacher in effect, kind of wondering if we can understand. You know how a teacher waits to see if you have grasped it all.
You did really well Free Spirit not up to me to judge just trying to encourage you. Your interpretations are just as accurate as mine. That is what it is all about, being original and relying on what you see and learning and searching from there.
Just relax about it, look at the picture and all the components and get a feel for the picture. Forget the LWB for now. It does not say so very much.
The cards are meant to be complex and full of symbols that you interpret.
As a basis, Pentacles represent the material things. This can be creativity.. a big one really.. or money or art or lots of things. Anything in the realm of the material. Creativity brings the energy of money as well. You can be a banker using money but it is still creative energy. Or you can be an artist or you can be struggling with material connections, we all do it every day, all day. Buying a flower and putting it on your desk even.
