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 background 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 this hints at the power that begins creation. Hence, the fruitful garden on this card.

The Prophet Tarot- Ace of Pentacles and The Rider-Waite-Smith- Ace of Pentacles, are the equivalent of a seed of the element they represent. 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 and the Pentagram in the circle, represents humankind. Therefore, the things of earth and humans are represented here, such as: wealth, material gain and wellness.

The Aces of all Tarot Suits are under the influence of Kether, the first Sephiroth on the Tree of Life (Hebrew God Name-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 is to imply completeness unto itself, without dimension or external definition.

The qabalistic symbolism is not shown in the Traditional Tarot, and the garden is shown on this Witch card, without the lilies or rose arbor of the Rider-Waite-Smith Ace of Pentacles. However, the meaning is the same. The world of possibilities is wide open to you now and becomes a promise if you engage it. So do something, take a hike, go on a bike ride, enter a spa, start a new hobby, etc. Hence, live your life and let the good things come to you.

WHEN THE 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.
• Materialization of ideas bringing stability to skills that produce results.
• Could also be a time of meditation, an inward pulling of energy.
• Good beginnings for financial wealth, material gain and worldly status.
• The beginning of any new material form
• A most auspicious card showing the bringing together of internal and external talents and resources. Even if ill dignified it shows a sharing of treasure.
• Also, the Card of a Shaman, or one who is practiced in the arts of Earth Magic (k).

If reversed it implies:

• Materialism.
• Stinginess.
• The vile side of affluence.
