Seaking of Rider Waite symbols (another one hehe)

Moonstitches

Hi, i found something on this site that might shed some light on this W: http://www.borndigital.com/tree/

Although it didn't talk specifically about the ace of cups, the website explained that the "W" found in the Heirophant card of the RWS deck is a rendering of "Vav", which i think is a Hebrew letter (don't really know for sure). "Vav" can mean "nail", "and", or more importantly in this case, "heart". And since Cups represent emotions, the "heart" definition would definitely work.

Hope that helps!
