SPADES

 

"And God said, "Let the EARTH bring forth'",

 

Spades represent the Element Earth, the Winter of the Year. Winter is a period of apparent rest, stillness, hardness, cold. Unless Labor is applied, there is no yielding of the ground nor any “bringing forth". But underneath, at the Heart of Nature, guided by her Intelligence and blessed with her riches, a resurrection is in the making. Only the wise know what Lies behind maya, the veil of appearances. Thus it is with Spades. The least understood of all the suits, they actually symbolize the Initiate -- often the Adept. Their mission is dual like their symbols, the Acorn and the Sword. Their keywords are Labor and Wisdom.
