What you can see

A kneeling figure pours from two vessels onto water and land beneath one large star and seven smaller stars. A bird stands in a tree behind.

What Waite says

Waite moves beyond the familiar keyword of hope toward spiritual gifts and the communication of life. His fuller account identifies the figure with the Great Mother and Binah.
