The Wisdom of Practicality

From the Druidcraft Tarot, the King of Pentacles:

This king loves his comforts, but he doesn't mind working hard to acquire them.  He's also a great financial advisor and quite generous.  But if he lends you money to buy a riding mower, you'd best get busy starting that lawn business you've been talking about.  He is a practical sort of guy and open to new creative ideas (represented by robin redbreast in the window), but he expects to eventually see some results from them (the boar roasting on the fire).  He values what he owns, and instead of choosing to fall into the "buy, buy, buy!" mindset, he prefers to take good care of what he has.  He fully enjoys the physical, sensual side of life, but he doesn't have to have it all to be content and satisfied.  He's learned to use his resources wisely rather than impulsively.

     From the Druid Animal Oracle comes the "Earth Dragon:"

The Earth Dragon represents the power of potential in the realm of the physical.  It's easy to check our bank accounts, look at the stack of bills on the table, then conclude there are no resources to be found.  But this card emphasizes the treasures within - our untapped talents and abilities.  I will never know what I am capable of until I try, and who knows, I might just surprise myself.
