The Tarot Room – Georgianna

Here’s a card compare of 3 versions of the 9 of Pentacles/Coins. The first is from the Phantasmagoric Theater Tarot by Graham Cameron. The second is from Karma Tarot by Brigit Boline Erfurt. And the third is from the Rider-Waite-Smith Tarot by Arthur Waite and Pamela Colman Smith.

I like each version in its own right.

Take a look and see what you think. How are the themes of personal abundance, self-discipline and clarity of vision expressed in each version? What makes them similar? What makes them unique?

I love comparing cards. Don’t be surprised if I do this again …

You might remember this beautiful Graffiti 9 of Pentacles I posted last November …

Recently, while passing by that same wall, I noticed that the image had changed.

It seems as if the energy has somehow got reversed.

Wow!

On my recent trip to San Francisco, I came across a tile mural on the side of a Safeway store.

It was created back in 1959 by John Garth, who apparently made a number of such mosaics for Safeway stores across the country.

It’s an impressive piece meant to depict how the foods of the world are grown, toiled over, and ultimately transported to shopping carts at Safeway stores everywhere.

When I saw it though, my Tarot radar went off and three cards jumped out of the picture – the 10 of Wands, the 3 of Pentacles, and the 9 of Pentacles …

I came across this gorgeous graffiti image of a woman surrounded by nine flowers and a bird flying beside her.

Can you blame me for thinking of the 9 of Pentacles when I saw it?

It looks like I’ve found the newest addition to my Graffiti Tarot.

I’ve just come across Jordan Hoggard’s Youtube channel. It’s great! He’s got a whole host of short, upbeat videos featuring various cards from his Tarot in the Land of Mystereum.

The deck itself looks gorgeous, and I’ve just put it on my Tarot wish list.

But even if you’re using another deck, the videos are fun to watch and very informative, especially for such short clips.

The video below is Hoggard’s take on the 9 of Pentacles and the number nine itself.

I love what he has to say about how nine mirrors itself through the multiplication tables.

Given that self-reflection is a main theme for the Hermit, it makes a lot of sense that he’s Tarot’s number nine.
