Mother Earth,as a Paleolithic Goddess figure,stands above a sacred cave in moonlight. Primitive worshipers dance around a fire at her feet. The world’s earliest artworks show the goddess in this guise. Some of her earliest European names were Eartha,Erda,Edda,Hretha,Eorth,Urth,Urd,Wurd,Wyrd,and Weird. Like her exaggerated maternal characteristics,her card represents overwhelmingly “earthy”or material blessings:fecundity,abundance,generosity,support,comfort,creative inspiration,nurturing warmth.
