This week I'll be using the Wild Unknown Tarot, created and self-published by Kim Krans. I'll also be using the Pictish Oracle, created by myself. Today's draws are the Father (King) of Pentacles and the Bull:

A truly stable system expects the unexpected, is prepared to be disrupted, waits to be transformed. 

—Tom Robbins

The Father of Pentacles collects innovative ideas and recognizes opportunities that might be profitable. He frequently takes the pulse of the economy (those rainbow antlers might serve as a radar) and the resources available. Yet what gives all this meaning is not just the comforts he affords, but the stability that he can provide his family. The Pictish Bull appears nine times on incised stones, six of which come from the fortress of Burghead in Moray. The fort’s bulls are portrayed with muscular bodies, swishing tails and heads lowered to charge. Stability must be protected and defended; in the Father's/King's case, he must be flexible enough to make changes as and tighten the belt when needed.
