This week I'll be using the Tarot of the Sidhe, created by Emily Carding and published by Schiffer. I'll also be using the Green Man Tree Oracle, created by John Matthews and Will Worthington with Connections as its publisher. Today's draws are Warriors Three (Three of Wands) and Holly (Tinne):
What's interesting about collaborations is the possibility for one plus one to equal three.
―Rei Kawakubo
Three points can make a shape, a third leg can produce a stool that stands, and a couple can create a family. Three is the number that gives form to things, helping them expand beyond the two-dimensional. Carding writes, "A gate is opened in the east; A threefold sum of power increased." Cooperation and teamwork allow for talents and resources to be shared, giving rise to what was not possible before. The Holly's ogham - tinne - carries the meaning of 'ingot' or bar of metal. Erynn Rowan Laurie writes that it was associated with not only wealth but "with creativity, skill, and physical mastery of arts and craftsmanship." Just as Holly requires bees to produce its berries, we need knowledge and talent as well as financial backing to create something innovative.
