The Page of Pentacles (Earth of Earth) is the youngest of the four Court Cards in the Suit of Pentacles. All Pages are generally regarded as youths, up to the age of teenagers.

Getting to Know the Page of Pentacles
The Page of Pentacles shows us how a natural interest in the physical world around us leads to exploration, experimentation and learning. The energy of this card is that of a studious person, someone willing to learn how to master the material realm. It does not necessarily represent the student cooped up in a classroom, with a teacher in front of him who is trying to stuff him full of conventional teachings. Rather, this is the energy of someone who has a genuine interest in and curiosity about the world around him.
“Live as if you were to die tomorrow. Learn as if you were to live forever.”
~ Mahatma Gandhi
As opposed to the Page of Swords, this learner may be more interested in exploring hands-on learning than intellectual and theoretical concepts. He does so with the same devotion and diligence as a student aiming for a top grade in any subject. But he does so out of pure joy in the experience of perfecting a useful skill.
A budding healer
In addition to practical skills, this exploration can include the mysteries of the physical body and alternative health. This Page showing up in a reading could indicate that now would be a good time to start some form of holistic healing studies, such as crystal healing or flower essences.
Affirmation: “I approach the natural world with reverence and desire to explore.”
Page of Pentacles Prayer
Dear Mother-Father God, thank you for guiding me to new learning experiences that expand my sense of awe for creation. Help me be a diligent student of these mysteries for the Highest Good. Amen and so it is!
“Education is the kindling of a flame, not the filling of a vessel.”
~ Socrates
