The Vision Quest Tarot is a beautifully crafted set. The symbols and words bring you back to nature and Native American legends and away from the hectic of modern life.

Mother of Earth was my pick today from this set, a card that also is known in other Tarot sets as the Queen of Coins.

She is being portrayed sitting in the soothing shadows of a tree with a child sitting on her knee, protecting it by her arms and a blanket pulled around both of them, a large earthen pot and some corn cobs at her feet.

As often, this card can best be understood when looked at in conjunction to the other 3 mothers: Mother of Fire (Queen of Wands), Mother of Air (Queen of Swords) and Mother of Water (Queen of Cups) and what this element represents versus the others. The mother of all being the Grand Mother (The Empress).

Please pay also some attention to the fact that COINS often are associated with wealth but EARTH on the other hand injects the thoughts of continuity and solid foundation. Both symbols have in common the idea of cyclic and the final, manifested result.

Note down for yourself what motherhood implies to you, what are the responsibilities and duties of this position, what are powers this brings and what joys?
