[Tarot] Seven of Coins

I need a bag that will hold my Tarot cards in their own individual pockets. Rarr.

Russian Tarot
A blonde man in a tunic that shade of purple and edged in red and gold sits on top of a stack of wood that he is or has been cutting. Six coins are arrayed at his feet, one hangs over his head as a 'sun.' There's a fairly brightly colored (in browns and greens that is) log cabin in the background.

Crow's Magick Tarot
Five cheetahs race on a field of bars and balls ranging from purple to green. Three coins above, four below.

Spiral Tarot
A red-haired woman in a blue dress kneels in a field while leaning on the stick. She's growing coins. Seven of them. The ground behind her is green and lush with veggies of delicious looking sorts. Now I'm hungry.

Keywords Ingenuity, Growth, Hard Work, Progress, Production, Successful Dealings, Money, Treasure; Impatience. Uneasiness. Imprudent Actions, Loss of money, unwise investments.

Again, pretty much what it says on the tin. The well planted and carefully attended crop bears fruit. Harvest time, and so on. After the work comes the reward, and this is it. Which does not mean that hard work is not forthcoming, either, but in this world the natural consequence of effort is gain, which the card represents.

[Tarot] Eight of Coins

This icon has nothing to do with anything.

Russian Tarot
A brown-haired man dressed in gold ith a purple apron stands at a smithy, his hammer in his hand and the head on the anvil. Three coins are behind him, five in front of him, and a horseshoe above his head. this has the same inside-of-a-castle setting as the other card. I don't know if the horseshoe carries the same 'luck' implication as it does in the Isles and here in the States, anyone?

Crow's Magick Tarot
Four coins above, four below, an owl against a... what looks like a mother of pearl or fire opal moon, and a golden butterfly in the foreground. And, and this amuses me, a stack of books. The titles and authors as follows from top to bottom: Londa Tarot by Londa Marks, Edgar Allan Poe, Stuart Kaplan: Tarot of the Witches, Crow's Magick by Londa Marks, Medicine Cards, and Encyclopedia of Tarot by Stuart Kaplan

Spiral Tarot
A man in a blue shirt and gold pants that make him look rather like a circus performer sits at a smithy. His fire is burning in the hearth, he's workign on one of the eight coins (four are on the wall behind him, one is leaning against his workbench, and two are on the floor in front of him. The door is open, or maybe he's just in an open-air place, and so there's a line of greenry and sky that sort of frames him.
