Eight cups are stacked in the foreground, five on the bottom row and three on top. The background is a […]
Five of Cups
In the Five of Cups we see a figure looking forlorn and depressed. He (or she) is looking at the ground and wears a long black cloak. Five cups surround him. Three are knocked over, their contents spilled on the ground. A river flows in front of him with a bridge visible in the distance. In the far off, we […]
Ace of Cups
A hand emerges from the clouds in the Ace of Cups. Balanced on the palm is a cup with water overflowing down to the ocean or lake beneath. A dove with a disc in its beak is diving into the cup. A cross is engraved on the disc. Engraved on the cup is the letter ‘W’ or an ‘M’.
Knight of Pentacles

Page of Pentacles
In the page of pentacles we see a young man gazing at a single pentacle. His attire is that of a royal family or at least a wealthy family. He stands in a field, another ploughed field visible in the background. Mountains frame the back of the image.
Seven of Pentacles
In the seven of pentacles we see a man contemplating six pentacles in a bush. A seventh pentacle lies at his feet and he leans on his staff or working implement while he gazes at the bush. The background looks like a field that he has been working.

In a scene set in a church a mason works while talking to two holy men or monks. The mason has his tools in his hands, elevated off the floor by a small bench. The two holy men are holding papers, possibly drawings or instructions.
Ace of Pentacles
Reaching out from the clouds, a hand holds the first of the pentacles of this suit. Just like the suit of wands and cups, the imagery of clouds represents our hope, possibilities and a future that we can only glimpse through the actions of the present. It is not a promise that all will be well, but a sign that […]
