Ace of Cups

The Ace of Cups is the card of deep emotional and spiritual fulfillment. In the image, a golden chalice stands in the middle of a lake, stirring the water. The scene revives the legend of the Holy Grail, according to which the Grail's miraculous power is renewed every year by a white dove that drops the holy sacrament into it on Easter. From the chalice, 26 drops of water fall, corresponding to the numerical value of YHWH - the Hebrew name of God in numerology.
