Rooted

From the World Spirit Tarot, the Queen (Sibyl) of Pentacles; from the Mystic Glyphs deck, Place of Emergence:

Love's greatest gift is its ability to make everything it touches sacred.

~Barbara De Angelis

          This earthy, grounded Queen is in harmony with the rhythms of nature. Whatever she cultivates, she does so with the intention that it might benefit others, yet never at a great cost to another. She would likely agree with Wendell Berry: "There are no sacred and unsacred places; there are only sacred and desecrated places." Place of Emergence, with its small box surrounded by two larger ones, suggests a protected space where something has time to be nurtured, develop and then materialize. Whether we are beginning a spiritual practice or planting seeds, all new beginnings are served by a sacred refuge that will encourage the growth of their roots.
