How Does Your Garden Grow?

Three of Earth ~ Book of Shadows Tarot : As Above

This is such a sweet version of the Three of Pentacles. From the As Above deck authored by Barbara Moore and illustrated by four different artists. In this version of the card the vibrant colors, the blooming flowers, the three little gnomes perched at various points within the living tapestry, the bees busy with their work all contribute to a feeling of focused teamwork. Nature as a sacred work of art being worked with by the creatures of the earth. This kind of group effort allows for an even larger reality than one's solitary vision alone.

I pulled this card Rx though. Sigh. The shadow side of this card speaks to a group or team that is not working very well together. The vision has gotten lost in the attempt at delivery, energy is seeping out, perhaps there are fractious words, perhaps one person is unable to yoke herself to the group focus, wants something different. Yep, a day in which I felt just a little bit at odds with everyone but mainly myself. This reversal could also point towards my lack of care over the organizing of my physical body, the tending of my inner garden in the super late nights I've been keeping. Either way I'm going to heed the messages the gnomes and living earth this card is offering. An early night for me tonight with an early enough wake-up to allow for full practices to seed and support equanimity throughout the day.
