I love Margarete Petersen’s suit of Coins –
the imagery is so rich! Rich being a good word for the Ten of Coins… The Ace showed the snake curled around to
form a circle – the one-ness, the potential for creation. In the Ten we see a
labyrinth at the bottom, with a jewel – richness mined from the earth – above
it.

Above that is an eye – and off to the right is a faint outline of a human
figure. The Ten represents the culmination of the journey to ‘wealth’; the eye
looks over it all – leaving the safety of the womb (the Ace), and the labyrinthine
path that’s been followed to find the diamond/treasure at the centre of the
earth. MP writes “The coiled-up serpent…has uncoiled itself and become your
visible and invisible companion” – the figure on the right, perhaps?
Layers of the earth
Mined and explored; at the core
Riches of the earth.
