Alright, let’s talk about this… what’s it called? Yeah, the “eight of stones tarot”. Sounds fancy, don’t it? But lemme tell ya, it ain’t that complicated. It’s just like when you’re workin’ hard on somethin’, you know? Like plantin’ a field or fixin’ a fence.
I saw this picture once, this fella sittin’ in a cave. He was all bundled up, like it was cold or somethin’, and he was busy, busy, busy. Carvin’ stones, he was. Real hard worker, that fella. Made me think of my old man, always tinkerin’ with somethin’. He’d be out there in the shed, hammerin’ and sawin’ away, till the sun went down.
This card, the eight of stones, it’s about that kinda work. The kinda work that takes time and effort. The kinda work where you gotta use your hands. And your head too, I guess. You gotta know what you’re doin’, or you’ll just mess it up. Like tryin’ to bake a cake without a recipe. Ain’t gonna work, is it?
They say this card means “skill”. Well, I reckon that’s right. You gotta have skill to carve stones, or plant a field, or fix a fence. And you gotta have skill to make a good life for yourself too. It ain’t easy, no sir. But if you keep at it, if you keep workin’ hard, you’ll get there. Just like that fella in the cave.
- Workin’ hard: That’s the main thing. You gotta put in the effort. Nothin’ comes easy in this life.
- Gettin’ it done: It ain’t enough to just start somethin’. You gotta finish it too. See it through to the end.
- Knowin’ your stuff: You gotta have the skills to do the job right. Otherwise, you’re just wastin’ your time.
- Keepin’ at it: Don’t give up when things get tough. Just keep on workin’, and you’ll get there eventually.
This ain’t just about workin’ with your hands, though. It can be about anythin’ you’re workin’ towards. Like learnin’ a new skill, or raisin’ a family, or buildin’ a house. It’s all about puttin’ in the effort, and seein’ it through to the end. And it’s about feeling good when you finish something up, ya know? Like when you finally get that last weed out of the garden. That’s a good feelin’.
Some folks, they say this card means you’re almost done with somethin’. You’re on the home stretch, they say. Well, maybe that’s true. But even when you’re almost done, you still gotta keep workin’. You can’t slack off, or you might mess it up right at the end. Like when you’re bakin’ a pie and you take it out of the oven too early. It ain’t done yet, gotta let it finish bakin’.
And they say this card can be about love too. I reckon that makes sense. Love ain’t easy, you know. It takes work. You gotta put in the effort to keep a relationship strong. You gotta be there for each other, through thick and thin. And sometimes you gotta work real hard at understandin’ each other ‘cause men and women, well, they don’t always think the same way, that’s for sure. It’s like tryin’ to understand why a cow decides to lay down in the middle of the road sometimes. You just can’t figure it out, but you gotta deal with it.
So, this “eight of stones tarot” card, it’s a good card, I think. It reminds us that hard work pays off. It reminds us to keep at it, even when things get tough. And it reminds us that love is worth workin’ for too. It’s all connected in some way, you know? Work, love, life… it’s all about stickin’ to it and gettin’ it done. Just like that fella in the cave, carvin’ them stones. He didn’t give up, and neither should we.
And remember, just because somethin’ is hard doesn’t mean it ain’t worth doin’. Sometimes the hardest things are the most rewarding. Like raisin’ a good crop, or watchin’ your kids grow up. That ain’t easy, but it’s sure worth it.
So next time you see this card, the eight of stones, remember what it means. It means work hard, keep at it, and you’ll get there. And don’t forget to appreciate the good things in life, like a job well done and the love of your family and friends. That’s what really matters, in the end.
