Depiction

As with the other Aces of the deck, it shows a hand emerging from a cloud. This time it is offering a disc, or pentacle. The Pentacle depicts the symbol of the pentagram – a five-pointed star with a tip pointing up. At hand we see a well-groomed front garden with many flowers and a beautiful hedge. The five-pointed star on it is a pentagram that unites five primary elements: fire, water, earth, air and ether (or, according to Eastern ideas, fire, water, earth, metal and wood). In Kabbalism, it means a tetragram of the name of God.
