✨ 3 tips for combining it

1. It's the health card above all, so always look at what's next to it. Example: The Tree + The Coffin asks for real rest and not letting it slide.
2. It speaks of slow things that grow roots: don't expect overnight results. Example: The Tree + The Ring is a commitment built little by little that lasts.
3. It's also what runs in the family and comes from the past. Example: The Tree + The House is family roots, traditions or something inherited.
