From the Morgan Greer Tarot, the Four of Wands; from the Celtic Book of the Dead, the Island of Trees:
The Four of Wands shows a celebration in the making, likely for the castle nearly completed in the background. It makes sense not to try to plow through to the finish line when it takes great effort to finish a project. Rest and a bit of fun can be the break we need to restore our enthusiasm and energy as well as prevent mistakes caused by exhaustion. The Island of the Trees card shows Maelduin with a branch plucked from a tree as they passed by. The branch would produce apples for forty days, aiding in the health of the voyagers. The meaning of this card is gratitude, but it is the type of thankfulness that doesn't demand more than what was given. At some point, we must continue with our task, grateful for what we've been given but with a commitment to finish what we started.
