Another tarotcard comparison this time it's the 5 of Pentacles. On the left, you see the Rider Waite version, and on the right is Tarot of Tales.
Same card - very different feelings.
In the RW version we have 2 seemingly sad and destitute people - unallowed inside the warm and glowing church although it's freezing outside. It feels like they just don't have what it takes to gain entrance to the sanctuary or have been banished to a life of misery.
In the Tarot of Tales version, we see a lone person walking through a valley in a treacherous, mountainous environment. Personally this card feels to me like "insurmountable odds."
But we see the connection in the isolation although the RW has 2 people and TOT only has one.
Why? Perhaps this person was sent into exile and is feeling hopeless and alone, with a lack of resources to get him where he needs to go.
Or is it about SURVIVAL but with limited resources?
