Insider's Tip : If you look closely at this card you will see Pomegranates woven into the fabric of the veil between the two pillars. What does this mean? This fruit was associated with the Greek goddess Persephone. It is Persephone who represents the descent into the darkness and the return to light. We see this in the passing of the seasons. When this card appears we know that we are learning lessons even if we feel that we are passing through a dark place. The Pomegranate is a reassurance that we will return to better times.
Are there are other symbols in this card that you can see, that indicate the passing of time?
