Four of Pentacles
The Four of Gifts represents excessive attachment to material possessions and the fear of scarcity that leads to hoarding behavior. Like troll wives who cannot bring themselves to part with their baked goods despite wanting to sell them, this card warns against greed and the poverty mindset that makes us feel we never have enough. It encourages sharing and generosity, reminding us that there is abundance for everyone when we release our grip on material security.

The Troll Wives' Dilemma
Trolls love money very much, even though they have few opportunities to spend it. Their greedy nature compels them to devise numerous schemes to increase their wealth. Troll wives have set up bakery stalls along the forest path, tempting hungry travelers with their pies. But no matter how much the gleam of silver entices them, the troll wives cannot bring themselves to part with their pies. They drive away all customers with their grumbling, then sit gloomily among so much baked goods that they themselves could never eat it all.
Meaning and Interpretation
When you encounter the troll wives, it means that someone is too attached to material values. Fear of experiencing lack distorts the perception of reality in such a way that no matter how much you have, it always seems insufficient. This leads to hoarding—emotional or literal. Don't be greedy and your mind will calm down. Allow others to enjoy the pie too, there's enough for everyone.
Brief Meaning
Greed. Poverty consciousness. Hoarding. Unhealthy attachment to material values.
If You Look Closely
Today the stalls feature pies with fillings made from spite berries, false hedgehog, and beets.
