Description

With his powerful incantations, the witch can manifest his will, attaining many worldly desires. As he utters his spell, the ether presents the vessels of intention, the heart of love, the vessel of wealth, the vessel of the Moon that brings power in witchcraft, the vessel of influence containing the papal tiara; on either side, however, are the warnings: the vessel of the serpent of jealousy and temptation and the vessel of the skull of mortality. Ultimately, though, the witch seeks the vessel of Victory, Who rises in the middle of all his intentions.

Divinatory Meaning

Invoking the Seven of Vessels signals to you that you have your hands reaching towards too many goals. As your imagination is so profound and your inspiration limitless, you get caught up in ideas that do not last long term. You are a dreamer, and you dream big. You have high hopes for yourself and try to skip over necessary steps to get there. Sometimes you need to consider that your dreams may be unattainable at this time, or at least through your current methods. Because of your imagination, you are prone to debauchery and decadence, having a healthy appetite for sex and revelry. Be sure to keep this under control and make sure it doesn’t devolve into addiction. Be wary that there may be someone deceiving you, masquerading as one who can help you achieve your goals. They have a hidden, nefarious intention.

Banished Meaning

When banished, the Seven of Vessels brings a renewal of motivation and willpower. Your goals are achievable and you are feeling the drive to manifest them. You approach decisions with clarity and thought, helping you to avoid unnecessary setbacks or drama. Even though you are becoming successful, you have no intentions of stopping where you are; setting newer, greater goals for yourself that are within the realm of possibility.
