Had an interesting revelation as far as the pearl necklace in this card which is seen again in the Maat tarot. I see it as meaning that it takes many incarnations for us to move towards consciousness. It is a form of karma, 'we reap what we sew (sow)'. We all have incarnated several times and the spaces between the pearls could represent these incarnations as well as 'in-between existences' that have collected on the 'skein of time'. Visually we would see this as a strand of pearls with no apparent beginning and no conceivable end. It is a living link connected to our memories, thoughts and motives which always seem to be generated from the past.

Also the circle as we know it, may not be round at all but twisted creating an ongoing current of reception and expression.
