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

The Rider-Waite-Smith- Ace of Pentacles, is the equivalent to a seed. Again, Waite chose a more prosaic meaning for his card. Therefore an Angelic hand supports the Pentacle symbol of earth and the ascended man (pentacle). In the back ground a rose covered arbor is displayed. The Rose is the symbol of the female aspect of fertile energy and the arbor is a symbol for the Womb that is penetrated by the phallic path or the Masculine aspect of the Divine Creative. The Lilies in the foreground also represent the Female Divine Creative and the fecund power of renewal, resurrection and growth. All of this hints at the power that begins creation. Hence, the fruitful garden on this card.

The B.O.T.A. Tarot- Ace of Pentacles and The Rider-Waite-Smith- Ace of Pentacles, are the equivalent of a seed. Therefore, an Angelic hand supports the Pentacle symbol of earth and the ascended man. Pentacles are the old traditional way to represent the Earth Element. Therefore, the things of earth are represented here, such as: wealth, material gain and wellness.

The Aces of all Tarot Suits are under the influence of Kether, the first Sephira on the Tree of Life (Hebrew-Eheieh: meaning "I Will Be"), whose color is white and is symbolized as the Point, The Crown and the Swastika. If you have been following the blogs, you know the Point to imply completeness unto itself, without dimension or external definition.

The Point is also attributed to the number 1 which mathematically has the potential for all other numbers.

The Crown, represents the holy guiding spirit,; That Holy Guiding Spirit is the Hand illustrated on both card.

The Swastika is a ancient Buddhist symbol for the "First whirling" of Energy. On both Rider-Waite-Smith and B.O.T.A. Ace of Pentacles, the swirling clouds represent the "first swirling" of energy.

WHEN THE ACE OF DISKS or ACE OF PENTACLES IS THROWN DURING A DIVINATION:

It implies:

• Union between the physical and spiritual aspects of the querent.
• Beginning a new pathway in life that will bring satisfaction.
• A new planting of seeds, for a new home, job, career, or some form of security.
