One of the most interesting things you can do with tarot is applying their rich images to everyday life.  I am quite sports challenged so being enlightened (if you want to call it that) by sports is quite the snore fest for me.   Let’s just say I have little in common with the jock-class.   However, Georgianna Boehnke provided insight into the history of the Ancient Greek Olympics revealing that the prize won by female athletes was the pomegranate.

Of course, in the Tarot the pomegranate is linked to the High Priestess, which I associate with Goddess Persephone.    In one version of the Greek Persephone Myth (possibly the oldest), Persephone is fed a pomegranate which fertilizes her and she gives birth to the God of Ecstasy Dionysus.    In Jungian psychology, the image of the pomegranate is both the fruit of the dead and connected with erotic love.  The High Priestess represents the hidden world that is fertile (hence all the seeds) and full of undeveloped potentials.

Whether or not the connection between Olympic sports will spark an interest in sports or not is unlikely.  However, I will spend the better part of the evening reading about pomegranates and the mysteries of death and rebirth.
