The piece is wide format. The background is peacock feathers in vivid teal, blue, and green covering the entire surface. The base is a thick band of dark rich soil running the full width. Two figures in white appear in the piece. On the left, a Black woman in a white eyelet corset dress sits in the soil, grounded and present, a large circular golden straw halo behind her head, flowers in her hands, sunflowers around her. On the right, a Black woman in a long flowing white dress with translucent dragonfly or fairy wings at her back walks away from the viewer toward a portal or arch, her head wrapped in coral fabric, yellow flowers around her. At the center, a large arched portal or doorway opens onto a night sky with a full moon, stars, and lavender flowering plants framing the sides of the arch. In the upper left, a sun is constructed from yellow and gold gingham cloth, dripping honey, and orange and coral nasturtium flowers layered together. Yellow sunflowers grow throughout the lower portion. A large beehive or honeycomb structure hangs in the upper right corner from a tree branch. Three runes are rooted into the soil across the full width of the piece, one on the left, one in the center, and one on the right. Small green plant sprigs grow from the soil at the base on the right.

The reading relayed that this gathering was centered in remembering abundance from the ground up, in sitting with what is already present before reaching for what comes next, and in moving through shadow with the medicine of Oshun in all her forms. The Nine of Coins asked people to sit in gratitude for what has already been built and manifested. The Ace of Coins asked people to plant new seeds from that place of fullness. Oshun the Warrior said this is not the time to play small. Oshun of the Drought asked people to examine how they are defining abundance and what scarcity mindset is still blocking the flow. Oshun of Self Destruction asked for honest examination of the habits and cycles that have been holding things back. Bessie Coleman said the universe is multiple choice and the dream can be as expansive as one is willing to let it become. One figure is rooted in the earth. One figure is moving through the portal. Both are wearing white. Both are already in the medicine.
