The Witch and the Vessel
The witch stands with a closed vessel, like Pandora, tasked with never opening it. This vessel's contents are a mystery, and if the witch were to open it, would they unleash a curse? Would the contents underwhelm? Is there anything in the vessel at all? The Mysteries are a powerful thing. To some, they are enlightening; to others, they are a curse that leads to dissatisfaction. When we focus too much on the unknowable and let it turn to obsession, we lose sight of what good is around us. He stands in the shadow of doubt when before him are four open vessels pouring forth light and truth, but he is only focused on what he cannot see, what he cannot know, and that may be his downfall.
DIVINATORY MEANING - Invoked
You stand in the shadow of doubt and disappointment when you invoke the Five of Vessels. That which once gave you pleasure and joy does not anymore; you are disenchanted in love, and your bonds of friendship grow weak. When you see yourself, you notice all your imperfections, you magnify all signs of aging or change, and are blinded to your beauty. There are good things in your life; you just cannot appreciate them with your current mindset. Hope remains an ever-present force so no matter what you are going through or how disillusioned you are by life, the joys of life can return.
DIVINATORY MEANING - Banished
Five of Vessels banished is a card of return. It is the return of love, friendship, and optimism. If you have been going through difficulties or find that your life has been boring or tedious, it is going to take an exciting turn. You will find yourself enjoying things more and more. You have an optimistic outlook on life and because of this, you are able to weather any storm. A partnership or union will take place, which will benefit your well-being greatly. Keep your head up and keep those spirits high. Remember: you are a natural problem solver.
