From the Forest of Enchantment Tarot, the Five of Boons (Pentacles); from the Mystic Mushrooms, Pear-shaped Puffball:
Two orphan boys, having left their home to seek a new life, have not found the fortune they sought. Like many people, what they desperately wanted has blinded them to what is nearby - wild strawberries leading to a warm house. The Pear-shaped Puffball was originally known as Lycoperdon pyriforme but had its genus changed to Apioperdon a few years ago. Its second common name, stump puffball, reflects the fact that this fungus likes to eat wood and often fruits from stumps, something the true Lycoperdons don’t do. Both these cards emphasize that we should observe, investigate and do our homework before making a major decision or taking actions that might negatively affect our finances, health or time. It's easy to allow illusory desires to influence us to make impulsive choices. But if we find ourselves in that position, we need to quit worrying about being seen as incompetent or incapable and ask for help. After all, most everyone's been in that place at some point.
