Allegory

 

In the last couple of weeks I have been watching 'Boston Legal' a tv show that was on 2005-2009. Never watched then, but the show is streaming on Prime and I have time during these covid-winter days. Yesterday one of the episodes was based on a Katrina incident and in the closing argument, the lawyer, Alan Shore, stated that a friend of his while fleeing New Orleans in the aftermath of the hurricane, saw a dead man lying on side of road and was being eaten by an alligator. I did not find an article on the web specifically mentioning that, but it could have and probably did happen. The image sticks with me. What does an alligator eating a human have to do with the Ten of Pentacles, beats me? The artistry of this deck is beautiful, but not much to do with the tarot. Still an alligator allegory yesterday and a draw of one today is too much of a coincidence to let pass.

    We had many Louisiana folks who lost everything move here. The stories they told. An alligator will protect and care for its little ones much better than our government does its citizens. Katrina and the pandemic are good examples of why we need a Ten of Pentacles plan and resources.

      That is a good thought and analogy of the Ten of Pents and the Alligator.

    Oddly enough, we are watching Frost, via DVD of course, no streaming possible here. But yesterday, one of the perps was eaten by a gator. plus beaten and shot... no bright insight :) but I came to the same conclusion about this deck, lots of beauty, hard to connect the tarot. But then it makes us think doesn't it? So all good.

      Lately it seems I want things easy. Boring, which will eat away of a productive hour, day, life.
