NINE OF PENTACLES
Secret Garden -- Luxury and a taste for the finer things in life. Appreciating value in quality and craftsmanship. Self care. Inherited talents, gifts, and DNA. Lineage connecting us to our ancestors. Slow moving energy. Fierce loyalty.
SHADOW: Quiet, peace, and privacy protects personal energy from the interference of others. Personal energy can be multiplied when it is not automatically shared with others. In an age where it is all too tempting to make your personal life public, this card reminds you to always keep a little for yourself, no matter how generous you feel.
The dark fairy who was born from the shadows of the Dark Wood stands in her secret garden. It is her innermost sacrum, a place no one has ever seen but her. Nine pentacles blossom in the grapevines. A snail creeps near her foot. She casts her eyes to the side as if something or someone has caught her attention.
The Nine of Pentacles reflects manifestation and the culmination of a wish, desire, or goal. Nines are the number of wish fulfillment. The fairy takes deep pleasure in manifestation for herself before sharing it with anyone else. This is the card of inherited traits and talents. It is being happy with the self and taking refuge in quality time alone and appreciating the finer things in life. It is knowing who you are.
