What you can see

A silhouetted figure faces seven cups in clouds. They contain different apparitions, including a head, a veiled form, a serpent, a building and a wreath.

What Waite says

Waite locates these appearances in imagination and contemplation. Some attainment may be suggested, but he does not give the visions a stable or substantial outcome.
