Five of Pentacles
Goldilocks and the Three Bears
Symbols and Meaning
Bears can symbolize fierce protection. The golden locks of
the girl are purity and innocence, but the shadow on the
patchwork quilt reflects her dark inner being. The pillow
represents dreamland and the separation between earthly
sensations and unconscious thought processes. The painting
depicts three bears walking through the forest, exemplifying
the connection with the wild. The girl is wearing blue. In
this context, the blue suggests that she is a fish out of
water and does not belong in the three bears' home. She has
merely used the contents to assuage immediate physical needs
without considering the potential consequences of her
actions.
