The card calls you into your intellect and curiosity. The place where the fertile ground of your innate intelligence meets the cornucopia of knowledge laid out for you by generations of scientists, scholars, writers and artists.
Is there a question in your life that could use some deep study? Are there any institutions of higher learning that are calling out to you?
Sometimes we doubt our own intelligence because it doesn’t fit the mold measured by schools, or by a society which hasn’t always understood nuerodivergence, tactile intelligence, and intuitive creativity. But each of us has our own deep and abiding curiosity, and our own unique ways that we satiate our needs for knowledge and information.
For Hutch and Caelum this need expressed itself through research in
Hutch’s trusty set of encyclopedias. Academic and scientific work created according to rigorous standards can be an incredibly grounding counterpoint along the journey of learning to deepen our intuition.
So where in the vast expanse of human knowledge might you see further by standing on the shoulders of giants?
