Eight of Pentacles
The Fool journeys to the Eight of Pentacles and finds that he has talent. He knows that he must practice and practice to make things perfect, and he pays extra attention to the small details. He spends time honing a skill and pursuing a goal, fully aware that it will take time to master it. He is an apprentice, a novice taking on something new that he hopes will sustain him financially, if not now, then one day in the future. Right now, he is enjoying every moment with his new, consuming interest.
We can find ourselves absorbed here, and with complete concentration, we focus on perfecting something we want to master, understand, and excel at. We want to get "it" right.
A natural aptitude for a subject can capture our attention, and even if it is not so natural, we can still find a lot of pleasure in learning something new that we can get lost in. Work may be hard but fun and satisfying, and here we are going through a learning process.
Mentally, we can find ourselves engrossed and riveted by a subject, an issue, or a topic and very much enjoying it. We find here that our goals and wishes can be accomplished in the real world via concentration, aptitude, and dedication.
If you have any flair or talent, expand on them. If you have an interest you wish to jump into, get going—acquire a new skill or brush the cobwebs off an existing one.
If you find that you need to study, learn, practice, or start at the bottom with work, an issue, or any area of life to gain the experience you need, now is a good time.
If you discover that you are pretty darn good at something, you can even make money from it if you try!

What a book this is!
I’ve learned more from Pam’s book in a few days then I have in 6 months with multiple and a crazy amount of Google searches. Each card is broken down so beautifully and in a way that can be applied practically to the day to day. It truly is the book every beginner should start with.
Thanks again Pam x

I seek Pam's guidance frequently when I'm unsure how best to proceed. She has such a wonderful connection to the cards and always sees things and explains the cards separately and as a whole. Her insight has been spot on in the past. All types of relationships can be complicated at times. She helps me navigate those relationships more confidently knowing I'm on the right path. I highly recommend Pam!

Pam's reading was beautifully done. Nothing like having a real need for some wisdom on a situation, and then having that need met 100% with a reading. Brilliant. Thank you. Pam responded with wise wonderful words in a kind compassionate way. Such intuitive insightful advice, in a very empathetic way. I felt I and my issue were really seen, listened and responded too. It's bought clarity and settling for me, much more than I expected. So grateful. Thank you.
