You are referring to the Ten of Pentacles, yes? The rat is a symbol of adaptability and hard work. He suggests keeping an eye on your resources and to use them wisely. The Romans viewed the rat as a symbol of prosperity. The tortoise in the foreground says, slow and steady, and refers to building up an estate, tradition, structure or business over a period of time. Three of Pentacles– Project nearing completion. Succeeding with the help of others. Hard work pays off. Fool 0— “Let’s go….!” Represents all potential possibilities. A blank slate. Trust in the Universe. Taking a risk, being open to anything. Foolishness. There are several useful spreads presented at the end of the book, including various versions of the Three Card spread (Past/Present/Future, Body/Mind/Spirit, and Choices); the Celtic Cross spread and a spread by Katie Vyvyan entitled the daily spread, which I found intriguing. (The positions in this spread are defined as Works (whatever you are accomplishing throughout the day, either at work or at home), Home (the people and activities surrounding the home), Unexpected (literally, the unexpected things that happen during the day), Your Role (your moods, actions and reactions), and Outcome (the outcome of the day, and the spiritual lesson(s) learned).

The Ten of Cups presents a typical family scene but only the mother and daughter. There is also a family of cats sitting in front of a house. Instead of a rainbow line, we can see an image of ten cups arranged in an arc over that house. Marchetti mentioned this is the scene where the head of the family is coming home to his wife and children. It is quite confusing as part of the family is missing here. Star 17— “I’m wishing on a star…” Hope, peace, love. Triumph of good over bad. Looking forward; moving on. Blessings, healing. Note: British spelling used throughout 🙂 Feel free to save or print for your own reference but please do not republish elsewhere. Queen of Swords– Seeker of truth, does not tolerate fools, intellectual, incisive. Tells it how it is. Capable of making it to the top of her profession. Prefers intelligent adults to children.

I’m sending you my original list on a Word.docx. You can print it out. Although, of course it’s not very comprehensive. In symbolism, the Gilded Tarot is fundamentally Rider-Waite but it is not a clone or even a re-drawing of Pamela Colman-Smith’s very familiar art. Rather than simply copying, Ciro has used its imagery as a jumping off point for his imagination and inspiration. The Gilded Tarot isn’t one to use for its comparative historical symbolism or occult and esoteric depth, but the card images are unique and beautiful, feeling more like a beautiful fantasy or the inhabiting of a hyper-real dream-world than the Rider-Waite ever did. After a long wait, the commercial edition of the Gilded Tarot has now been published by Llewellyn. My copy arrived this morning and I thought it appropriate to review it, as a postscript to my original article on the limited edition.
