  Cards: Knight of Pentacles, The World, Three of Pentacles

  He was the mountains, he was the tribe that hailed from the mountains. Where the rivers flowed he rested his spirit and continued on as the waters went. There was no rest, there was only impermanence. 

  The world rests upon a globe, does the wind turn it? The seasons change while the wheat turns golden, grapes fresh under summer skies, all things follow a natural rhythm, steered by an invisible force governing nature. Don’t go against the flow, mankind, heed nature’s warnings. Don’t forget that as you came from it, you would one day return to its soils. Don’t be ungrateful. Take only what you need, then give back the rest. You’re not the only ones here, most of the world’s riches you might never see. What does it matter, if you hold enough to yourself all that’s prosperous and abundant? Don’t try to fly before you learn how to walk. There are many things to be learned and studied first. It’s better to be slow and steady than to rush into the unknown.

• Nüwa

  Cards: The Sun, the Queen of Wands

  She is the kind mother of heavens. She is gentle. She is of bright light. She has the gentlest countenance. She has the warmest smile. She speaks encouraging words to you when you feel down. When you have nowhere to go she offers a charming abode. At the back of the sun is her little place, where sunflowers grow and thrive across seasons. Here you have no need to worry. Here there is no more stress that follows.

  She may be alone, she can create though, so she never had to bear loneliness alone. She would beckon you to be kind. In the desert where all lives need toil to survive, she hopes that you might consider that another with a different way of life might just be you, in disguise.
