From the Margarete Petersen Tarot, the Three of Coins; from the Elemental Dice, Dusk/Dawn (Darkness + Light):
The mark of all good art is not that the thing done is done exactly or finely, for machinery may do as much, but that it is worked out with the head and the workman's heart.
―Oscar Wilde
Petersen illustrates her Three of Coins with the symbol of Om, the primordial sound of creation from which all other vibrations are able to manifest. The footprint suggests making one's mark on the world, but the Om reminds us that excellence and complexity must start at the beginning. No one gets to jump to the head of the line without study and practice. Look closely at the artwork of AI; while it might be much faster and considered 'good,' it still seems to lack any heart or warmth. The Dusk/Dawn roll indicates a time of shifts and changes. Even if we don't receive outward acclaim, our efforts over time will be inwardly rewarded as we begin to see our progress.
