Radiant: Rider-Waite-Smith Tarot- Five of Pentacles

The Rider-Waite Five of Pentacles and the Modern Witch Tarot -Five of Pentacles both concentrate on a more trite illustration of being "out in the cold"; applying the mundane meanings of loss of profession and monetary resources.. Here a beggared couple pass below the stain glass window of a medieval church, implying a feeling of hopelessness and lack of Spirit. The five Pentacles are shown in the window stain glass art of the Church. In Western Hermetic Qabalah, Geburah, The Fifth Sephira on the Qabalistic Tree of Life rules the Fives; a state of energy that is severe in its function. Geburah is a corrective state of intelligence, whose severity is an action towards self assessment, rather than anything karmic.

The Modern Witch Tarot- 5 of Pentacles

The Modern Witch Tarot- 5 of Pentacles, just changes the couple out in the cold. Therefore, it is the same as the Rider-Waite-Smith Five of Pentacles in meaning. Therefore, this card foretells material trouble above all, if profaned as Rider-Waite-Smith Tarot shows. To Dr. Paul Foster Case (B.O.T.A. founder) , the "profaned" are the indoctrinated and dogmatized people who have not grasped the "inner light". Otherwise, this card proclaims concordance, affinity, and adaptation.

When the Divination brings up the Five of Pentacles, the querent is going through:

  • A period of rumination, anxiety or concern...maybe all.
  • Feelings of being left out of social events because of lack of money. 
  • Challenges of insecurity, deprivation, and even exclusion.  
  •  The mind is focused on survival issues and thus stopping creativity dead in its tracks as a feeling of helplessness and inertia take over. 
  • A foretelling of material trouble for the next 5 weeks or 5 months. 
  • This card reminds us that by focusing on what we have lost or don't have, we cannot create more. We need to focus on what we do have, and on the thing we can do; maybe just a baby step is all we have, but that is motion and is enough to get us going again. 
  • The axiom, of ", a journey of a thousand miles begins with one step" may be the solution to this worrying problem that confronts the querent's intellect.

If reversed it implies:

  • Failure.
  • Collapse.
  • Despair.
