Three of Pentacles...Tenacity

I pullled the 3 of Pentacles from the Herbal Tarot. . It portrays a young man toiling diligently in a garden, a crescent moon rising in the east. I have noted the word TENACITY on the card.

Pentacles represent money, income, the earth element.

Surely to observe results in the outer world it takes more than a liitle tenacity and hard-work---certainly if we wish our dreams to come to fruition.

So today, when I'm feeling a little lazy and disinclined to work---I get the message to keep on keeping on....

At least the gardner in the card is rewarded by a beautiful blue blossoming gentian. This is not an herb I'm familiar with--except years ago---gentian violet--was a medicinal concoction used to treat "thrush"---nowadays they use anti-fungals---but they don't sound as poetic as gentian violet. Gentian isn't listed in my trusty herb book so I'll have to go googling.

Apparently gentian the herb, and gentian violet are two distinct entities, gentian violet being a coal-tar derivivative. Herbal gentian is part of the Bach Flower Remedies and I'm including a link:http://www.bachcentre.com/centre/38/gentian.htm

I have used Bach's Rescue Remedy cream and the liquid on many occcasions and found them helpful.

See what being tenacious will get you?
