#11
03/18/2026

Welcome to the first Card Audio Deep Dive - with not-so-obvious choice of 4 of Pentacles! The card commonly seen as the sign of greed, a fear of losing, and being stubborn, can also be seen through the lens of self-care and physical and emotional boundaries.

Let's have a look at 22 different depictions of the 4 of Pentacles, as designed by various artists and illustrators. (To see the actual pictures, visit this post on my blog.)

Tarot decks mentioned in this episode:

Meet Mariza Ryce Aparicio-Tovar, better known in the online and Tarot world as Mari in the Sky, the author of the beloved Gentle Tarot and its expanding universe.
