Traditions

From the Greenwood Tarot, the Nine of Stones (Pentacles); from the Shaman's Oracle, "Shaman of Tradition:"

          Potter gives her tarot card the keyword "tradition" which aligns with the Shaman of Tradition. I looked up the word on dictionary.reference.com for a definition and found "the handing down of statements, beliefs, legends, customs, information, etc., from generation to generation, especially by word of mouth or by practice." I honestly don't think I have any traditions, at least not family ones. But the man in the Greenwood card is surrounded by stones, not by people, and I am reminded wisdom comes from different sources. The SO's companion book states the shaman, "draws on the deep-rooted customs of the land" - could that include the earth and all of nature too? If so, then I have been given traditions by my larger family.
