“We are continually faced with great opportunities which are brilliantly disguised as unsolvable problems.” ~ Margaret Mead
Gaudenzi
(the artist of this deck) uses animals to represent each suit: lions
for wands, doves for cups, foxes for swords, and eagles for
pentacles/coins. In this image, someone has tried to build a fence to
hamper the lion's ability to hunt. But from the looks of the fresh kill
beneath his paws, this obstacle didn't present much of a challenge.
The Six of Wands emphasizes success in overcoming our struggles. Had
the lion looked at the fence as an unsolvable problem, his stomach would
be empty right now. Instead, he saw it for what it was - a crudely
made border that attempted to place limits on him. How will I see the
bumps and detours in the road today? Will I paint myself inside a
fictitious cage and wring my hands? Hopefully they will only inspire me
to work on my goal from a new direction.

“Never doubt that a small group of thoughtful, committed, citizens can change the world. Indeed, it is the only thing that ever has.” ~ Margaret Mead
Three
stone people head in the same direction; pebbles between their heads
connect each one to another. The pebble represents being like-minded
and having a common objective. One may be the leader, but that makes no
difference to the other two. They don't want to be distracted by petty
arguments, as they have enough to deal with already. These people know
that working together can create small movements capable of making big
changes. Their connection and dedication are amazing tools for
progress. Now if I could just find a pebble to put between each of the
heads of the members of Congress...
