Okay, so I’ve been diving deep into Tarot lately, and I wanted to share a little experiment I did today with the Page of Pentacles. Specifically, I wanted to see how it felt to embody this card’s energy as feelings.
First, I pulled out my trusty Rider-Waite deck and found the Page of Pentacles. I spent a few minutes just looking at the image. You know, the young person holding a pentacle, gazing at it intently, with a lush field and a plowed field behind them. I really tried to connect with the imagery.
Getting into the Page’s Headspace
Next, I decided to journal. I started by writing down some keywords that came to mind when I thought about the Page of Pentacles: focused, grounded, practical, studious, detail-oriented, and new beginnings.
Then, I tried to imagine myself as the Page. What would I be feeling? I wrote down things like:
- “A sense of quiet determination.”
- “Excitement about learning something new.”
- “A feeling of being connected to the earth.”
- “Appreciation for the small things.”
- “Patience – knowing that good things take time.”
- “A sense of wonder.”
- A sense of responsibility.”
Putting it into Practice
The fun part was trying to actually feel these things throughout my day. I decided to focus on a small task I’d been putting off – organizing my messy desk drawer. Usually, I’d rush through it, but today, I channeled my inner Page of Pentacles.
I took my time. I noticed the texture of the paperclips, the way the pens felt in my hand. I organized everything meticulously, appreciating the process itself. It sounds silly, maybe, but it actually felt…good. Really good! Grounding, even.
Later, I went for a walk in the park. Instead of just strolling, I paid attention to the details – the way the sunlight filtered through the leaves, the feel of the grass under my feet, the smell of the earth after a light rain. I felt present, connected, and surprisingly… peaceful.
It was a simple experiment, but it really helped me connect with the Page of Pentacles on a deeper level. It’s not just about understanding the card intellectually; it’s about feeling its energy in your own life. I still felt green and a novice to be honest, but it’s a good start, I think.
