From the Hezicos Tarot, the Four of Coins; from the Way of the Horse Oracle, Merlin's Spirit:
When our insecurity is deeply rooted, we might find ourselves desperately holding on to things because we might need them. We have no trust that others might be generous or supportive, so we cling desperately to what we have. There is a big difference between this type of neurotic grip on material possessions and prudence; prudence might be cautious and practical, but it still knows how to enjoy and use these things. Merlin's Spirit shows two stallions, a father and son. Like other herd or pack animals, one leader protects and dominates. But even the horses know that no amount of control or safeguards will create permanent stability and security. As Christopher Willard wrote, "Equanimity arises when we renounce control—or, more accurately, when we renounce the illusion of control."
