you know what really sucks about the concept of the "wise woman"?
she's always alone. she never has anybody to explain her wisdom to; it's all for herself.
which i guess is wise and all, but lonely.

Meaning: Wisdom, knowledge, learning, intuition, purity, virtue. The Owl is a keeper of knowledge, and he bears a key to unlock mysteries. The pomegranate is an icon of Persephone, who tasted the seeds and thus tied herself to Hades -- it is a fruit of fertility and death; and the moons embroidered upon her garments wax and wane. The new crescent, and gibbous moon that create the full cycle, embraced in one.
I don't see it as she has no one to share her wisdom or knowledge with as much as she can't. I'm thinking of Norse goddess Frigg, who could see the future but seldom told people about it, because if they knew they may not take it well. Or maybe she knows the future is not meant to known.
ReplyDeleteIn order to obtain that knowledge, she must be actively, and purely, sought out for advice.
...Ok, this tarot stuff is really getting to me.
it can, in fact, have that power.
