From Touchstone TarotTM by Kat Black
Three of Coins
Meanings
A master craftsman. Fine work rewarded, recognition of talents. Noble work with both a spiritual and material purpose. A well-deserved reputation for excellence. Making a house a home.
Reversed (?)
Inspiration is worthless without action. Talents undeveloped or wasted through laziness or lack of confidence. Jealously of the talents and achievements of others.
Description
An artist paints a church scene on a canvas. A sketch and quill lie on the table behind him. Behind the artist, another man watches him work, perhaps his patron.
