From the Dark Goddess Tarot, the Six of Earth (Pentacles); from the Tattwa Cards, Water/Seed of Earth:
Greed is a bottomless pit which exhausts the person in an endless effort to satisfy the need without ever reaching satisfaction. ―Erich Fromm
The Six of Earth is represented by the Kwaquitil wild woman of the woods known as Tsonokwa. She was said to eat greedy children, yet she was invited to attend potlatch ceremonies in which the host gave away possessions. Generosity was what Tsonokwa honored and rewarded. She knew that greed was destructive and devoured the heart. Water/Seed of Earth's keyword is alliances. When we are known for watching over and protecting the well-being of others, for leveling the playing field instead of creating pinnacles, we form trusted relationships. It's not an "I scratch your back, you scratch mine," mindset, but understanding that we are all interconnected and dependent on each other.
