The Thoth Tarot-Ace of Cups:
If you have any knowledge of the latest in Astrophysics, you may understand that Kether is the "Dark energy that becomes-Dark Matter" and "pushes the Universe along, which is how we think we understand it; However, both are really not understood by us. Kether, the Crowning Source of All, is not known to us objectively, but it's presence is subjectively understood as a movement within all that moves; an invisible thermodynamic energy, a beginning of vibration/frequency.
Again, the 4 Aces, are attributed to Kether and they represent the most pure forms of energy in essence rather than form. Each is a specific type, and density of Energy Essence that we call the "seed" of Pythagorean and/or Alchemical Elements.
THE ACE OF CUPS:
Is Kether in Briah, the Creative World, depicting the influence of Kether on the Mental Level. The Ace of Cups is the Root Powers of Water, an element used to symbolize the Unconsciousness and emotions when in combination with Fire, which is known as Water's Consort.
The Thoth Tarot Version of this Card shows the wave action characteristic of physical water implying the activity that encloses and directs pure consciousness, as the Womb of consciousness is the Universal Collective Unconscious and/or The Divine Creative. As the Universe of Energy is woven out of waves of consciousness, and/or ideas that are understood. Thus, the Web in the background. The Feminine that Weaves this Web of frequencies and/or Microwaves of Self radiated from the Core or Root of Self, the Galactic Center of the Milky Way., was known to many nations of Native Americans as Spider Woman.
According to Crowley, the White Light descending is depiction of the Holy Ghost and/or Holy Spirit.
The Holy Spirit represents the All of Spiral-Energy and or Microwave frequencies of the Universal Self; each spiral a circle, each circle a dimension of Self-Understanding.
The Cup, is the Psyche Womb of Form and/or the "Holy Graäl" ("Holy Grail"), and on the Thoth Tarot, emerges from the Lotus (Crown) implying the idea or root power of Womb; the seed of the concept of conception. Therefore, the Ace of Wands is the root power of Phallus. The Ace of Cups is a symbol for the-Yoni Moon, as the Ace of Wands is symbolic of the Phallus- Sun.
Seen on the Thoth Tarot- Ace of Cups, the dark Sea of Binah supports the Two in One Lotuses that fill the cup with Life Fluid/"Mother's Milk", be it symbolized, by water, milk, wine or alchemical Gluten. Here, the Milky Way Galaxy is beginning to form. The Glowing sun rising out of the fluid of the Cup, is the Central Core Photon Star, that is in the Center of the Milky Way Galaxy and is the Father of all Photons and therefore, of our Souls. Two in One, is the realization of the Womb and Phallus as an root power of multiplicity.

The Qabalistic- ACE OF CUPS, represents the emotional world of "feeling" and/or intuition that resides in the Unconscious; the time of Summer and the Space of East. This is the symbol of receptivity, psychism, instincts, fears, memories, desires, dreams, fantasy, and all the other aspects of the subconscious. This is the essence of imagination, what I call "the womb-with-a -view", for in her ideas are gestated in "Understanding", which conceives all things.
The colors of Cups, are those of water, lakes, ponds, oceans, rivers, rain and the blood. If you remember your biology, blood is blue until it is oxidized (You may have notice your blue veins). This is the Holy Grail sitting within the emotional nature (would be a fitting symbol for the Emotional Body of our Aura) which is represented by the blue cup. It is the conscious state of emotional integrity, as represented by the double rainbow on the Thoth Card. The inside and outside are without dichotomy. As above so below can also be seen here.
The Ace of cups also symbolizes the ability to nurture one's-self with the same capacity as one gives out to others. Also seen on the Thoth Graäl, are the Three rings of " Kings Solomon's key" and a stylistic rendition of the Chakras and serpent and,or spiral forces of life in the human body.
The blue Grail, is Wisdom and the Cups color symbolizes, Compassion, Reason and Discipline, the three ingredients of Love, making it apparent that Love and Wisdom are in union as a flow of nurturing, healing, supporting emotional force (as seen by the radiance entering the cup). Love and Wisdom in equal balance.
The serpent handles of the cup symbolize the regenerative nature of this balance, as the serpent sheds it's skin to transform into a more expanded being; our Soul also sheds personalities, in order to transform.
The lotus base represents the trusting heart who never over-extends itself emotionally but unfolds itself naturally without resistance or holding itself back. In fact, this Love-Wisdom union is the woven fabric of Life itself, as symbolized by the web of Spider Woman (Native American Mother of the Universe) that is seen behind the cup.
Scholars have little doubt that the Christianized version of the Arthurian "Holy Graäl" (Grail) legend, had no authentic tradition of the lost wine- cup of Christ. Rather it was related to the "Cauldron of Daga".
The vessel was entirely pagan and feminine as another transformation of the Celts' Cauldron of Regeneration. This Grail was the symbolic female-body symbol of life-giving blood. As in Hindu symbols, the cup was often shown in conjunction with a male symbol, just as the Grail appeared in conjunction with the holy lance.
The ancient Celtic cauldron that is often associated with Druidic traditions is known as the "Cauldron of Dagda" or the "Cauldron of Plenty." Dagda, also known as "The Good God," is a prominent figure in Irish mythology and is often depicted as a wise and powerful deity.
The Cauldron of Dagda is one of his most famous possessions and has several mystical properties:
Abundance and Nourishment: The cauldron is said to be bottomless and capable of providing an endless supply of food and sustenance. It symbolizes abundance and the capacity to provide for all those in need.
Healing and Rejuvenation: The cauldron is also associated with healing and rejuvenation. It could bring the dead back to life and restore them to full health.
Transformation: The Cauldron of Dagda has the power to transform ordinary items into extraordinary ones, emphasizing the theme of transformation and renewal.
Wisdom and Inspiration: In some interpretations, the cauldron is seen as a source of wisdom and inspiration. It is a symbol of the knowledge and insight that can be gained through the Druidic tradition.
The Cauldron of Dagda is a significant symbol in Celtic mythology and Druidic lore, representing themes of abundance, healing, transformation, and wisdom. It is often regarded as a sacred and mystical artifact within these traditions.
The Cauldron of Dagda, as a mythological and symbolic object, does not have the physical location where it was found, as it exists primarily in the realm of Celtic mythology and folklore. It is a legendary and mystical artifact associated with the mythology of Ireland and the Druidic traditions of the Celts.
In Irish mythology, stories and legends about the Cauldron of Dagda are part of the folklore and oral traditions passed down through generations. These tales are not accounts of archaeological discoveries but rather elements of the rich mythological heritage of the Celtic peoples.
The concept of the Cauldron of Dagda is symbolic and metaphorical, representing themes of abundance, healing, transformation, and wisdom within the context of Celtic mythology and Druidic beliefs. It is not a physical object that was discovered in a specific location but rather a legendary symbol deeply woven into the cultural and spiritual narratives of the Celts. All the mystical properties of the "Cauldron of Daga" are the same properties associated with the Gail, often the Christians revised most of the ancient pagan belief and claimed it as their own.
The above image is the "Gundestrup Cauldron," a significant archaeological discovery associated with Celtic and pagan traditions, found not in Germany but in Denmark.
The Gundestrup Cauldron is an ancient silver cauldron that dates to the Iron Age. It was discovered in 1891 in a peat bog near Gundestrup, Denmark. While the exact purpose and significance of the cauldron are still a subject of scholarly debate, it is often associated with Celtic and pagan religious practices of the time.

The legendary quest for the Grail, is a vast pagan epic, as depicted by its Cistercian ornamentations. In the later Christian story, every anecdote, and detail in this inspired work is merely a travesty of the Celtic Quest for the submerged woman/ Lady of the Lake and/or Dr. Carl Jung's "inner perfect woman" the Anima.
According to the Christian stories, the Grail had some very suspicious origins. It was carved out of a jewel that fell from Satan's crown (Kether) as he descended into the underworld. In many texts, the jewel was identified as the Phoenix stone, Lapis Exilis, Lapis Judaicus, or Theolithus (God stone). Its magic renewed one's youth or supplied one with inexhaustible amounts of food. [Spence, 246]
The connection to the Philosopher's stone or the magic Gluten is easily seen here.
Nevertheless, the Divine Feminine is the great Womb of all form, including microwaves and therefore, resides in all of us as does "mother's blood", for no child has any blood from the father. This Divine Anima, is worth knowing, for she will release us from the fantasy of man-made identity. She knows her children, and they are not man made and therefore, have no identity made of words.
