From Touchstone TarotTM by Kat Black
Knight of Coins
Meanings
The plodder. Always prepared, all decisions are thoroughly researched. Loyalty, commitment and maturity beyond his years. A homebody. A slow, relaxing journey – taking time to explore along the way.
Reversed (?)
What am I missing? Wondering why other people have more interesting, exciting lives – why not take up new, sociable hobbies or a more challenging or glamorous career?
Description
A young, bearded man poses in a suit of finely decorated armor with a large ruff. On the table behind him is a sketchbook, a globe and an hourglass. On a chain around his neck, he wears the sign of the chivalric Order of the Golden Fleece.
