Shining Tribe - Four of Trees
Rachael Pollack
Publisher: Llewellyn
The card shows a brown building that is a typical square with peaked roof.
Inside the structure is a golden sun with eight rays, it hangs in the center of
the structure. There is a red double door with golden handles, also centered, and
at the base. The home has two trees that appear to be inside the house making
up the walls and ceiling. The house sits on a green ground. Forward and
encompassing the home are another two trees that also bend toward the center of the
home from a distance. There is one yellow grain growing in the bottom center of
the card.
The Four of Trees from the Shining Tribe draws the eye in. My eyes are drawn
right into the red double door. The card feels safe and comforting. I think it
shows being safe secure & grounded. It also says to me that although I have what
I need there is room for growth. The house is within the 1st set of trees made
within the arching branches. The outside trees provide extra protection and
also the possibility to fill that space as well. Maybe with the growth we have to
leave some of our protection behind. If the house were to grow to the next
level of the trees it would not have an added protection.
The sun above the red door seems to say there is warmth and happiness here. The
wheat at the bottom center of the card suggests bounty. The card to me talks
about having what you need being satisfied. Being grounded in your home and self.
I really like the colors in this card the all the colors are very bright, and
the green of the trees and the grass really makes me feel the life in this card.
Celebrating life. Being happy & healthy, having what is needed without feeling
stagnation. Being grounded and enjoying the earth and all that it gives us;
food, shelter, animals, life. Our own blood pumping through our veins and knowing
we are alive and enjoying it. The card also suggests structure, but does not
feel confining. Finding the structure needed to live in this world.
Rachel Pollack’s poem from the book:
"Shelter us, cool us.
Lift us, conceal us.
Parades of bright color,
a sky of green leaves."
