Radiant: Rider-Waite-Smith-Page of Pentacles
The Rider-Waite Page of Pentacles is the comparable card to the B.O.T.A. Page of Pentacles. Since Waite held to his lodge oath not to "profane" the Ancient Mysteries by offering the western mysteries to the general public, he choose the medieval Page image for his card. This is a card of androgynous character and does not depict gender. Rather, it shows nothing of great occult import. His figure holds a Pentacle up,with intent gaze, while standing on fertile land. I suppose this depicts the Earth element (Pentacle) fertile in the Sun, as if it is Spring in full bloom. The page is dressed in the greens and browns of the earth element. The divination meaning of this card is: Application, study scholarship, reflection and bringer of messages.
B.O.T.A. Tarot- Page of Pentacles
Dr. Paul Foster Case, who founded Builders of The Adytum (B.O.T.A.) states that the Page of Pentacles "may be young girls, as well as young lads". Here we have a youth who is deliberate, diligent and careful, who seems to be delivering a Pentacle as a message, as his destination is a castle at the end of the path. Here, blue-violet is used as the color of the sky and the page's clothing. Russet is the color of,her/his sleeve- cuffs, leggings and the feathers on the hat. This color is assigned to earth, which is the element of this card. Hence, the meaning is the same as the Rider-Waite-Smith card.
In Qabalistic Tarot, the significator of a person is a sun sign. Hence, the Tarot Birth wheel is used to assign of Court Card personality to a person. This is a "core personality" that is assigned to a querent when reading a "Celtic Cross" Tarot card divination. Many of us have assorted qualities of all 16 personality patterns (Court Cards); However, the core personality is the "beginning" persona that represents the Soul, at this manifestation in time. On this wheel, the Princess of Disks represents the Page of Pentacles. This card can also represent a youth in ones life, leaving or entering.
The Page of Pentacles can be compared to Nimue, the nemesis and consort of Merlin of the Arthurian legends. A deity of the Druids from whom Merlin was purported to learn magic and/or the Greek Goddess of Spring, Persephone. This is the Lady of Rebirth and Renewal and to understand the Depth of the Ultimate Womb---is to meditate long and hard on this card, and to read the Goddess Myths with the eye (I) of the soul. In this world, where love is a profit sharing endeavor, it is hard for most of us to believe that "Love built Me to be Itself"----Love is Now and fears no future. The goddess is Love and the truth is , " Creation is Love" and we are the image of Love made manifest by the Womb/Understanding of the Goddess aspect of the Divine Creative! We are "Understood" into manifestation!
When the Page of Pentacles card shows up in a reading;
- It is best said that rebirth is apparent from past defeat, or that a new love is blooming in the querent's life.
- One is experiencing issues with motherhood and pregnancy.
- The brink of transformation of complete success and total balance.
- One maybe taking security risks and challenging what was once deemed safe in the past.
- Pure Elemental Earth Energy, where the personality may be seeking it's true name through prayer, meditation and fasting.
When Reversed:
- Prodigality.
- Dissipation.
- Liberality.
- Luxury.
- Unfavorable news.
