Contentment and Fulfillment

A feast! This is a card of contentment and fulfillment. The cups represent the emotional state of satisfaction in attaining our goals and desires, while the feast shows its physical rewards.

The Wish Card

The Nine of Cups is known as the wish card, and I wanted to imbue it with the kind of peaceful joy that comes not from the fulfillment of our wildest desires and dreams, but from realizing, suddenly and quietly, that what we’ve strived for has come about.

Realization of Our Efforts

That the life we worked so hard to build—the relationships we fostered and the things we’ve wanted to surround ourselves with—has materialized. This is not about instant gratification but long sought-after security and well-being.

Sharing the Bounty

Take care that you aren’t the only one at your table, though. Lay it for your guests and share. A bounty is wasted on one.
