Saraswati — Knowledge, Music, Flowing Wisdom

Saraswati sits on a white lotus, holding a veena and the Vedas — knowledge as flowing water, as music, as sacred text. Her name means 'she who flows.' Hex 48 (The Well) draws from the same aquifer: knowledge that serves everyone who comes to it, inexhaustible if the vessel is maintained. Hex 57 (The Gentle) is wind, gentle penetration — the way learning enters not by force but by patient, repeated contact. Saraswati is not the thunderbolt of revelation but the river that carves the canyon over millennia.
