Nine of Cups
The Nine of Horns depicts Viking warriors and a Valkyrie sharing horns of mead in Valhalla, symbolizing communal celebration and reward for valiant effort. Upright, it encourages enjoying the moment, taking pride in achievements, and valuing being part of a community. Reversed, it warns of disappointment, feeling exposed, hidden lies, impostor syndrome, and the revealing of dark secrets. The bind rune guidance—do your best no matter the circumstances—emphasizes resilience and steadiness through both triumph and challenge.

Visual Description
In a vaulted, candlelit hall several armored figures sit at a round table while a woman with a winged helmet walks away carrying a tray of drinking vessels. Candles burn on the table casting warm light on metal helmets, drinking horns and goblets. At the top of the image a black crescent-shaped emblem bears the numeral 9. The scene is rich with the textures of fur, brass and wood and conveys a festive, convivial atmosphere.
