Radiant: Rider-Waite-Smith Tarot- Three of Pentacles
The Rider-Waite Three of Pentacles and the Prophet Tarot both concentrate on the meanings of employment, business, and constructive building, by illustrating a medieval church scene while three artisans are at work. Some of the colors in this scene may have something to do with Mars, as in the red roses on the odd robe of one of the personages. Roses are sacred to the Goddess and the Third Sephiroth- Binah, and red is the color assigned to Binah in her martial/active state. This Tarot Card is traditionally called the Three of Pentacles, as shown in many medieval art tarot decks. Its primary meaning is "As above, so below". However, the Pentacle although the sigil of man, fails to imply the spinning motion of all Atoms, the "Great Work" material of the physical universe. Hence, many nontraditional tarot decks choose a disk (disc), for its stability and propensity for accuracy depends on its spin. In physics it is known that there are no "solids", as all things have more space than material, as well as even the rocks have spinning atoms within them. Hence, we can understand the Great Works, started with the first spinning atom and that "being" is the Great Work of The One Energy that is in all things.
The Prophet Tarot- 3 of Pentacles
The Prophet Tarot- 3 of Pentacles is a modern silver and black copy of the Rider-Waite-Smith tarot and therefore, the same 3 pentacles are suspended above the Cathedral and the artisans are seen working. On both cards, the scene represents the pay-off of one's passion for learning and improving skills.Therefore, someone above you (pentacles) is looking to award you for all your hard work and dedication to your craft. You have the talent to see it through, and soon you'll be where you want to be.
Copper-Verdigris
This card also represents the Material establishment of the Universe as determined by its basic form of 3 as based on the Trinity of the Qabalistic Supernal Triangle of Kether-Chokmah-Binah and the fact that 3 points make a plane. The influence of Venus is in the copper color and its green verdigris is represented by the clothing of the artist. Venus was known as the Goddess of Love.
When the 3/ Three of Pentacles is thrown during a reading the querent is experiencing:
- A full commitment to a situation and is unconcerned about difficulties.
- Is aware of responsibilities.
- Is planning secure structures in areas of finance, physical security, and needs.
- Right effort towards a wise end in trade, skilled labor, Etc.
- A basic form or structure may be completed, needing only final changes.
- Approval from others who appreciate the challenging work and the success that the querent has achieved.
- Material gain because of creative skills within 3 wk. or 3-month period.
- Love of one's creations, and nurturing others who assist in the work.
- Being oneself, without fear of criticism.
If reversed (Rider-Waite-Smith) it implies:
- Without direction.
- Senseless fervor.
In a more spiritual reading, where the cards surrounding show a majority of Major Arcana
, the querent is engaged in the Great Work of "As above and so below", by expressing the Higher Self through paranormal skills, which are often called "magic abilities".
