Considered Mother Earth and said to have birthed all sky/earth/water. In the lake before her are the first humanoids.
I'm reminded by this card, regardless of whatever religious beliefs anyone holds, to sustain life everything comes from nature first. Sustenance, raiment, shelter, toys. So obvious it is easy to forget as we look for complicated convoluted answers to the simplest question. When we respect earth we honor ourselves, our ancestors, indeed all life.

I wish my scanner wasn't fighting with my laptop, scans would show much better than my photos.
ReplyDeleteThere Are some not so pretty goddesses and heroines in the set...
I love this image of Gaia, with trees as her hair, and rocks as her body, and water flowing from her. As you say, everything ultimately comes from nature :)
