Uncovering and Dispersing

From the Mythic Tarot, the Page of Pentacles; from the Symbolon, the 'Jester:'

          This Page of Pentacles is based on Triptolemus, a young prince who graciously received Demeter when she was mourning the loss of her daughter. Demeter would later teach him the art of agriculture. He is a good example of paying attention in order to learn because we never know where a teacher might appear. Triptolemos' name is derived from the Greek words triptos and lemma meaning "He who Pounds the Husks," implying that learning doesn't come without effort. The Jester represents a truth-teller in comic form; as Uranus in Aquarius, he likes to turn the world upside-down in order to move it forward. These two cards are a reminder that it may take some courage to share what has been learned when it goes against the status quo. Like Galileo Galilei who discovered the Earth revolved around the Sun (rather than vice versa), we may find ourselves branded as heretics or just plain crazy. Yet nothing will grow and develop when kept from the light.

The simple step of a courageous individual is not to take part in the lie. One word of truth outweighs the world. ― Aleksandr I. Solzhenitsyn
