Daily Draw: Tarot of Oz ~ Prince of StonesPrince Inga of Pingaree was a slogger in Oz. Not high enough on the ladder to accomplish his needs with power, he simply did his job well every day until he accomplished what he set out to do, displace 2 Kings and 1 Queen.
I'm reminded by this card of work smarter, not harder. He used his brain and time to do what 1000 swords couldn't do. I've been watching my father-in-law work this past year. 89 years old and he works a fully functioning farm. His way of getting 90 pound bales of hay off 20 foot stacks is an example of work smarter, not harder. We will all come to that point, why not start now?
"Tools were made and born with hands, Every farmer understands." ~ William Blake 1757-1827
The Tarot of Oz by David Sexton, 2002, from Llewellyn Publications is the deck of the week. L. Frank Baum wrote 15 Oz books between 1900-1920, the characters on these cards all come from those books.
I love the weekly deck idea.
ReplyDeleteStill waiting to get to the Oz and related books. I have both the Oz and the Tarot of the Journey to the Orient in my database, which is progress of a sort. Nice to see them here in all their glory.
Currently reading Philip K. Dick--not quite in Oz territory.
