The Gold foil- 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 Gold Foil Tarot are faithful to the meaning of the Four Threes of Tarot, as they mean the realization of an action. The Action on the Gold Foil- 3 of Cups is shown as dancing in a circle implying the spiraling energy of Spirit. On this card, the three maidens are shown dancing with cups uplifted in a fertile cornucopia style of garden. They are pledged to one another. The Three of Cups, of Tarot, represent the conclusion of any matter in plenty, perfection, and merriment. Also, a secure environment.

The Erotic Tarot- 3 of Water shows a young woman swimming free of constraints, in clear blue water. Water is the feminine- element of this card which astrologically assigned Mercury in the house of Cancer. Here, imagination is abundantly free. Therefore, this card represents the declaring of freedom, free expression of personal feelings. With Mercury in Cancer, there is a need to communicate in a careful and personal manner.
