Nine of Cups

✦ BANISHED

Imprisonment disguised as freedom; lack of control; relying on the unreliable; illness, addiction and gluttony; wishes do not come true, desires do not manifest.

✦ Narrative

The witch has signed the Black Book of the Eight of Disks, and now the Devil sits before the altar of manifestation surrounded by all the witch’s wishes and desires that are now made real. He has kept his end and the witch is now truly free to partake in all the pleasures and happiness life has to offer, unrestricted and in complete control.

✦ DIVINATORY MEANING

✦ Invoked Meaning

Your wishes will come true when you invoke the Nine of Vessels. This is truly a giving card when it is invoked in a reading. You are manifesting your desires and you enjoy, or will soon enjoy, a rich and fulfilling quality of life. Wealth will rain down on you, your health is radiant, and your well-being is protected. This is the time where you can experience what each vessel has to offer, to relish in their gifts and delights. Taste of all the fruits life has to offer!

✦ Banished Meaning

When the Nine of Vessels is banished you have the illusion of control and freedom. Something is keeping you trapped without your knowledge, perhaps something you feel instinctively but refuse to acknowledge. At this time your wishes and desires are not able to manifest as you would hope. This could be because of some addiction or vice that saps the possibility from you. Someone or something you rely on constantly proves to be unreliable and often against your best interest. Take care of your health because there may be some sort of illness in your current situation or in the near future.
