Eight of Pentacles

[DAscent]

EIGHT OF PENTACLES

The sculptor’s apprentice is carving out a pentacle; he exhibits other pentacles on the post beside him. Compare this card with the Three of Pentacles, in which the sculptor has become a mature artist and receives his reward.

Divinatory Meaning:
Learning a trade or profession. The beginning of a profitable undertaking. Employment or commission to come.
Skill in material affairs, handiwork, and the arts—sometimes remaining only in the apprenticeship stage.

Reversed:
There is danger of failing in one’s ambitions. False vanity, intrigue, and sharp practice. Skill turned to cunning, like that of a counterfeiter.
