A wonderful card for this time of year is it not?

I like that it is associated with two of my other favorite cards in the GT deck,
the Hermit and Judgment.  The Hermit is a powerful card with its mysterious
evergreen robed figure, the door into the tree (into the heart of the
greenwood?)the holly wreath and eight-spoked wheel.  So is the Judgment card
with its white bear shaman, yew trees, Northern Lights and Rainbow Bridge.  What
a triad is formed by these three cards!

Hearthfire is fed by logs from eight directions, and that takes us right back to
the Wheel of the Year with its eight spokes, also notions of friendship,
community, harvest and rebirth, a coming to fruition of hopes and intentions.
