I. Analyze and describe 3 of Cups Thoth Tarot
On the card, we see three cups made of pomegranate and formed into a triangle with its tip pointing up. Three cups are surrounded by two lotus branches with all four flowers; each cup has a lotus flower drooping into two cups from both sides, two of which pour water into the lower cups. In addition, the taller cup expresses the fullness of love which flows its love down to the two cups below, then the stream merges into the Binah Sea, quiet and dark (Crowley), is the original source of the spirit of reproduction.
The other lotus acted as a pedestal for the three cups, the two of them made the base of two beakers on both sides and one of them grew taller than the other to support the center cup.
