Sow-Muc: Generosity, Nourishment, Discovery
Muc, with her large litters, symbolizes abundance and fertility. Drawn upright, this card may mean that you are called upon to be generous. Feeling connected to the love of the Goddess for all her creatures, you are able to give freely, knowing that you, in turn, are nourished and sustained by her.
Choosing this card, you can open yourself to the abundance that exists throughout nature. You can allow yourself to accept this abundance, knowing that life perpetually renews itself, and that you need not worry about ever being disconnected from it.
Allow yourself to feast on life- to enjoy its beauties and its sensual delights. The Goddess is generous giving to all and renewing life.
Reversed- This card indicates that you may need to revise your image of yourself. There is an old saying in Gaelic: “When you thought you were on the sow’s back, you were beside her in the puddle.”
Although the sow symbolizes nourishment, fertility, and giving, she can also represent greed and “pig-ignorance.” You may need to work toward a greater understanding of the subtleties of life, rather than relying simply on your looks or physique.
Without wisdom even beauty can be unattractive, as another Gaelic saying indicates: “As a golden jewel in a pig’s snout, is a fair woman without sufficiency of understanding.”
Pig bristles were used for centuries for artist’ bristles and leather of pigs is exceptionally soft- appearances can be deceptive, so judge people or propositions on their truer merits and intrinsic worth rather than their out ward appearance.
