Upright

The thing is finished, genuinely and well. Take the full measure of it before starting the next one. What you have integrated is now permanent and portable.

Reversed

Not used in Raynebow readings - reversals are off in the product. Shown here for reference.

An ending left slightly unfinished, or a goal reached without being felt. The loop closing but the lesson not landing, which means it will come round again.

The Welsh story

Cadair Idris is the chair of Idris, a giant who was also a poet, astronomer and philosopher, and who used the mountain as a seat from which to study the heavens. The boulders at its foot are said to be stones he shook from his shoe. Anyone who sleeps a night on the mountain wakes a poet or a madman — or does not wake. It is the summit of the deck and the seat from which the whole pattern is visible.

On the card
