Your Chosen Card – Nine of Pattern Upright Mage Deck
When upright, the Nine of Pentacles depicts the discerning virgin of the sign Virgo, a self-contained maiden modeled after Astraea/Dike, the goddess of purity and justice who held a grain of wheat in her left hand. Under Astraeas rule, the human race enjoyed peace, prosperity, perfect weather, and eternal youth. Unfortunately, the increasing vileness of human behavior caused the discerning goddess to flee to the heavens where she became the constellation Virgo, isolated from the wickedness of humankind. The Nine of Pentacles is a card of accomplishment, refinement, material fortune, and enjoyment of the fruits of the harvest. It indicates being rewarded for discretion, hard work, meticulous care, and prudent planning.

Book Details
Development for Beginners: Well, according to Kekule, the answer to the problem came to him through a reverie, during which he envisioned a snake taking hold of its own tail (a commonly seen symbol known in several ancient cultures as the Ouroborus). This image of the snake with its tail in its mouth led Kekule to the realization that the benzene molecule was similarly shaped in that it folded back on itself, and thus the foundation of organic ring chemistry was established.
Elements of the Psychic World: During the nineteenth century the warship was damaged in battles, and the original ship was broken up in 1853. The Constellation reborn in 1855 as a sloop, and served the US navy until 1933, when it was decommissioned and sat quietly in harbour. In 1955 it was brought home to Baltimore to await repairs, and this is when stories of ghosts began to be told. Sailors standing night watch on nearby ships said they heard odd noises and reported seeing ghosts walking on its deck.
