Interpretation of the card:
This picture shows a flute player, dressed in colorful clothes, leading people out of the solitude of the city. The music he plays is so beautiful that listeners are entranced and follow him into the unknown. The concern is not with leaving the city, as this can be good for everyone at the right time, but with blindly following the music without considering their own motivations and desires. There may be unseen powers influencing their actions, and it is crucial to be aware of outside forces and make decisions based on one's own wants and needs, rather than simply following the crowd.
The meaning of the Pied Piper Symbolon card
1) As a single or first card︱ The problem
WHAT IS THE SUBJECT?
You have been unwittingly ensnared by someone or something. This situation has become a trap, and you are unable to escape the alluring and tempting influence. Sadly, there is no one to tie you to the mast, as Odysseus was, to protect you from the sweet, beguiling song of the Sirens.
2) As the next card︱Way through the problem
HOW TO DEAL WITH IT?
As you progress, you may find it difficult to resist the allure of the melodious tunes of the flute, even if they eventually prove to be false promises. The more you differentiate between captivating concepts and actual reality, the less susceptible you will be to falling into such temptations in the future. This newfound awareness will also prevent you from imposing similar illusions on others.
3) as the last card︱Result
WHERE DOES IT LEAD?
At the end of your journey, you may come to the realization that what was promised to you was not delivered. This can leave you feeling as though you were misled or taken advantage of. However, it is important to remember that you made the choice to leave your comfort zone without a clear guide, and this experience was a necessary part of your growth and learning.
