Meaning

Chilled to the bone and in despair, a hungry beggar cries out to heaven, asking for help. Whatever the circumstances that brought her here, she no longer believes she can save herself and survive this difficult time. And yet help is very close, she need only open her eyes to see it. Warmth, light, and shelter—that's what she needs. Her prayer will be heard, and nature's embrace awaits her when she is ready to accept it.

Visual Description

A gaunt, cloaked figure wrapped in a patterned brown robe sits on a cold stone floor near a large wooden door with heavy iron hinges, looking upward. Behind them is a tall stained-glass window in a church-like interior, the panes containing five pentacles that glow with golden light. Fluted stone columns and an arched doorway frame the scene, and pale light falls across the floor. The card bears the numeral 5 at the top and is bordered with a decorative floral motif.
