The Seven of Cups is one of the cards of the Minor Arcana. Depicted on this card are seven cups filled with fantastic visions. Visions of snakes, wreaths, towers, gems, angels, devils, and shrouds. A man dressed in all black stands in a state of awe facing these images. This is a card of imaginings. The man is overlooking a whole mess of worldly and non worldy gifts. These gifts represent his desires, both the negative and positive. I've always viewed this card as being "Pandora's Box". When this card comes into your spread it's normally there because of a barrage of fertile ideas are being presented to you. This card says it's alright to have dreams, and they have potential of achievement or becoming reality, however you must remember that you have to consider all aspects of what this idea is presenting. Plus you have to work to make the dreams a reality. | ||
There is a myriad of symbolisms on this and many of the other cards in both the major and minor arcana. In order to present a comprehensive and easy to use as a reference source set of pages for this and other cards, I will refrain from going into great detail regarding the individual symbols on the cards. On a future date I will go over the more explicit aspects of them. If you have a question regarding a particular symbol you can email me at Tamerin.
