      Special Messages based on card position:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      In the first position: Your art – the output of your handiwork, the beauty that flows from the movement, the use of your body, the mystery you unlock from the inert materials of the world – is carried to such a high level as to bear witness to the hard reality of the spiritual realm, of the certain existence of God.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      In the second position: Your ability to extract a finished product from something entirely raw.  Your art, your craft itself.  \u201cYou\u201d – once you turn on and apply yourself to a task.  Independence, resourcefulness – the survivor\u2019s instinct and talent to shape his environment to his support rather than his demise.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      In the third position: Healthy progress\/growth presents itself.  Produce now.  You are awakening to the work that is your craft.  Raise your will to the potential that will be released when you truly apply yourself.  Now is the time for you to take charge of your affairs.  The energy you invest will be rewarded.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      In the fourth position: Passion for an art\/craft, even a material, i.e.  a sculptor\u2019s love for stone, a weaver\u2019s love for cloth, the farmer\u2019s love of the soil.  This will most likely be your livelihood, but it may make do as your hobby.  Relationships and activities will be subordinated to this love for your work.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      In the fifth position: You are planning now for growth in your Physical\/material Plane – health, business, et al.  Perhaps taking a much more personal interest in your business or personal affairs – how to imporve the quality\/quantity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      In the eighth position: You are immersed in increase in your Physical\/material Plane – matters of work, diet, exercise, finances or such.  You may take this as a status report that things are as they should be.  You are doing your work, your exercise and things are going well.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      In the ninth position: While you may not be talking openly about your health, work or security, internally this is your concern.  Your gut feels it and will push for mental accommodation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
