Cards: Three of Coins, The Fool (Black Tarot); Daring/Courageous, Dishonesty (Elemental Alchemist Oracle); Fire Wildfire Earth (Alchemy Elements - Shaman Derek); Altar of Air / Clarity (Secrets of the Ancestors Oracle); Pluto (Wild Unknown Alchemy Oracle); The Mountain (Wild Unknown Archetypes Oracle); Patience (Follow Your Heart Oracle).

The entire composition is set inside a mountain landscape, snow-capped peaks rising in the center and left background, a large mauve mountain dominating the right side and center. Thick white bands of cloud and mist move through the mid section of the piece, separating the upper and lower fields. The upper field is dense dark green foliage scattered with white and yellow daisies. The lower field mirrors it, daisies framing the base of the entire piece. Two arched portals are set into the mountain, each containing a scene. The left arch is smaller and glows with warm amber and red stained glass light, a vintage woman in a white dress working at an easel inside it. The right arch is larger and glows with teal and green gem-like fractured light, two silhouetted figures standing together inside it, an adult and a child both facing a canvas, the adult guiding the child. Between the two arches, a vertical line of alternating gold circles and gold cowrie shell icons floats upward through the mist.

The reading relayed that gifts are here and ready to be activated. The cards pointed strongly toward the fire element at this time, meaning there is a boost, the courage, the passion within oneself to take that daring leap into whatever one truly wants to bring into the world. The Dishonesty card asks to make decisions rooted in what one truly thinks and feels, and to show up as the full self rather than parts of the whole. The Mountain reminds us that the jewels are at the core, inside the mountain itself, not at the peak. The peak is a destination, but the treasure has always lived within. Patience is the final card and the final practice.
