ROBERTThe Banker

The Banker, akin to the Pentacles in Tarot, is grounded in the material world, a figure who handles wealth, security, and survival in a world governed by mortality. Their work is rooted in the notion of permanence, yet they are haunted by the skull − the stark reminder that material gain offers no escape from life's impermanence. In history and literature, the Banker is both a trusted pillar and a cautionary symbol of greed. In the spiritual sense, she/he embodies the Buddhist caution against attachment to wealth, reminding us that true value lies beyond currency. The Banker's role invites reflection on life's deeper meaning, a contrast between temporal gain and eternal loss.
