No Magical Solutions

From the Tabula Mundi Colores Arcus Tarot, the Seven of Cups; from the Words of the Brehon Oracle, 'Three sounds of increase':

The Thoth keyword for the Seven of Cups is 'debauch,' a bout of excessive indulgence such as eating and drinking. Indeed, the color of the chalices gives the impression that too much of this emotional intoxication will make one green at the gills. These cups represent delusion or simply the wish to escape reality into a world of fantasy. The 'sounds of increase' referred to in the Irish triad all represent everyday work: milking a cow, the hammering of a smith, or the plowing of a field. Life can be hard, and humans would prefer an easier, softer way to deal with it's challenges than actually doing the work. But as Brad Warner wrote, "Our belief in magic solutions that may happen someday in the future keeps us from doing what we really need to do right here and right now."
