SEVEN OF CUPS
Vision Quest -- All possibilities hang before you. Will you make a choice or enjoy languishing before the dazzling potentials? Anticipation. Opportunities are ripe. Reach out. Ask for help. Go for it. Potential hangs before you like fat, ripe fruit on a tree. What will you select? Which option will you choose? All paths are inviting. There is no wrong answer. All lead toward the path of enrichment. Rewrite your story. Redefine who you are. Take action. Step boldly. Make the choice you've always desired. Fill in your blank spaces.
SHADOW: The witch stands with her back to the reader. Do you turn your back on something important? Do you turn away from a situation requiring further attention? Do you define yourself by the exclusion of a person, place, or thing?
The Shadow Witch stands in an empty clearing. Clearings in nature are metaphorical. They brim with future possibility. If you desire something, make room for it. She sends seven bats into the sky to do her bidding.
