Water spills from a golden chalice, flowing in five rivulets over the brim and onto the rocks beneath. There the chalice waters mingle with the fast-flowing waters from a river which is fed by a distant thundering waterfall.
A sliver of waning moon hangs in the darkening sky. Dusk is a 'gateway' time where the boundaries between our world and the Otherworld mingle and merge; a time for inspiration to strike.
In the foreground we see over-hanging hazel branches, pregnant with nuts.
As an Ace, we know that this card offers us a gift from the divine source. Since this is the suit of Cups, we know that the gift will be associated with relationships and love in its many forms.
The salmon and the hazel nuts remind us that this gift is also a form of wisdom (both are strongly associated in the Druidic tradition with knowledge); being emotionally intelligent is to be prized. The Ace offers us this gift in its potential state; the results of the Ace will take time to germinate and make green shoots in our lives.
We are offered the gift of loving abundance. Will you accept?
