  • This card’s artwork references the woodsman's axe featured in Aesop's Fable, "The Honest Woodcutter", which serves as a cautionary tale about cultivating honesty.
    • This card's artwork depicts the axe emerging from a body of water. This references the story of the fable where the woodcutter loses his axe into a river. The Greek god Hermes (sometimes depicted as his Roman counterpart, Mercury) offers up a golden axe and a silver axe from the river as a test of honesty, the woodcutter refused. After Hermes retrieves the dropped axe from the river, which the woodcutter claims, Hermes rewards him with all three axes for his honesty.
