What I See:
The three women is something I expect on the Three of Water card. It threw me a bit. It also makes me want to head over to Maria’s house to help her put up the bounty from her garden. I just feel the friendship flowing from this card. The women also seem to be different ages, giving me that generational feel. I also get the sense of age doesn’t matter when similar interests bring you together.
According to the book, “a traditional meaning for this card is ‘building the house of the Goddess.’ In this case, the temple of the Goddess is our own bodies…” That puts to mind the blending of the mind, body, and spirit.
General Earth element/Pentacles suit:
Please refer back to the Ace of Earth.

Perhaps a story about three sisters, three friends, or three generations of woman? Harvest, canning, and freezing — perhaps a story about coming together to get a job done. How about a catering company?

Yes! Come on over! Actually, it’s too late for this year. I have a few tomatoes still producing, but mostly root crops now and they’ll stay in the ground over the winter. But come over any time. You’re always welcome. 🙂
I miss having women around me. It’s so isolated sometimes. And we all need that sense of community and friendship.
I love this card. It’s homey and protective, like a big hug.
Yeah, I’m getting our ‘garden’ ready for the ‘winter’ planting, completely missed getting anything in the ground earlier.
I hear you on not having women around. I don’t have any close friends here so definitely get that isolated feeling even though I’m in the city. Sometimes we have to make our own community 🙂
A big hug…I like that 🙂 Thanks for swinging by Maria!
Three women. Similar interests. Beautiful smiles. Homey feel. There’s something oh so comforting about this card.
Very comforting indeed 🙂 Thanks for stopping by Angela!
It almost reminds me of a Normal Rockwell painting. I, too, feel the generational pull..the comraderie. Makes me want to cook. Thanks!
Just the number three is significant as you point out – the blending of body, mind, and spirit. Very interesting card. And the scene being in the kitchen, often the hub of the home and family.
LOL, whatcha making?
Very true, we’re always gathering in the kitchen 🙂 Thanks for swinging by Nadja!
