In this card, a wise grandpa gnome is placing the final touches on a sacred mandala perched at the top of a tree house. There are two aspects to the mandala's design: a pentacle and golden circles. The circles and the star together in one pattern indicate the union of Earth and heaven. The five points of the star represent birth, initiation, service, rest, and transformation. This symbol is used as a beautiful emblem or stained-glass motif for a home because it represents the evolution of humanity and is a protective shield. Grandpa gnome whistles a happy tune, for he has manifested a vision of beauty. The apples on the tree are ripe, revealing the fruition of a task well done. The birds convey the rewards of spiritual freedom that come from a well constructed life. Fully embrace the gifts offered in this card. Remember to pick the ripe potentials that life reveals to you at this time. Let them manifest. Creativity is at the core of your existence. You might like to explore stained-glass work, pottery, woodworking, sewing, or other handicrafts as a new hobby. Above all, as you pursue creative outlets, stay in touch with the wonders of the Earth and all its heavenly beauty.
