Chokmah, the flash before form
Chokmah is the raw impulse before anything has a shape: something wanted of you, or from you, before there is any pattern to it. Each Two is the same flash, met by a different world.
Upright
Flowing. Energy moving through the material before it finds a pattern: managing two things, rhythm before routine. In the world of action the flash is motion itself, and what it is learning is how to stay upright while things move.
Misdirected. Motion mistaken for progress, or dropping one thing to keep the other.
Reversed
Blocked. Energy will not move, stuck on one thing.
Flooded. Too many things in motion, nothing completed.
The image
A young man dances as he juggles two large coins joined by a looping figure eight. Behind him, two ships ride great waves, and he does not seem to notice the swell.
Learn how to read Two of Pentacles in a spread
