Radiant: Rider-Waite-Smith Tarot- Three of Cups
The Modern Witch Tarot- 3 of Cups
The Rider-Waite-Smith THREE OF CUPS illustrates the THREE Dancing GRACES, an image popularized during the Renaissance. Again, more of a traditional representation than the Thoth Deck or more modern renditions of Tarot; However, both Rider-Waite-Smith and the Modern Witch Tarot are faithful to the meaning of the Four Threes of Tarot, as they generally mean the realization of an action. The Action here is dancing in a circle implying the spiraling energy of flow. On both cards, the three maidens are shown dancing with cups uplifted in a fertile cornucopia style of garden. They seem to be pledging one another. The Three of Cups, of both the Rider-Waite-Smith and the Modern Witch Tarot, represent the conclusion of any matter in plenty, perfection, and merriment. Also, a secure environment.
The Modern Witch Tarot-3 of Cups is again minimalistic in its display of cups. They are the Rose color of love-cups in this Tarot deck, and the clothing on the lady in the forefront is that of the Element of Water, associated with the Unconscious mind, as it flows and ebbs. Here resides the intuitive, empathetic, fertile and fecund aspects of Imagination (Image-Making). The 3 cups are placed in a linear form, implying a secure environment and/or a protective home environment where all essential needs are met and where there is emotional and physical security. Here is an abundance of emotional energy that is harmonious, a weaving of Spirit-Mind-Body, frequencies in a harmonic melody. Such as the 3 states of Love-Eros (body love), Philos (Brotherly or family love), and Agapé (Spiritual love) all flowing and balanced. Implying the infinite supply of Grace in this Universe of I AM. Hence, Abundance from the Divine Feminine is implied here.
When the 3 of Cups is thrown during a reading, the querent will be experiencing:
- A 3 week, or 3 month period of plenty, hospitality, drinking, eating , pleasure, dancing and merriment.
- New clothes are also a possibility, as in a new wardrobe.
- A surfacing of Love, Joy, gladness, kindness, and bounty.
- Passive success seen as good luck and fortune.
- This seems to be the Bacchanalian life of the cornucopia..... have a ball, but don't try and to hold on to it, just let the twinkle of Joy in your "I" guide you into a new day of sensual experiences... Let the Spring be spring, the Summer be summer etc.
If Reversed:
- Expedition.
- Dispatch.
- Achievement.
- End.
