Waite–Smith, Cups
Two of Cups
What you can see
Two figures face one another holding cups. A winged lion’s head and intertwined serpents appear above them.
What Waite says
Waite names the upper emblem as the caduceus of Hermes. His meanings centre on affinity, friendship, love and union, while his concluding suggestion extends beyond a practical fortune-telling list.
