7 of Cups

[AeonicFlow]

Can anyone tell me what the various images inside the seven chalices in the Rider-Waite 7 of cups signify?

Clockwise from the left:

Woman
Veiled figure with arms outspread
Snake
Castle
Gems/Jewelry
Laurel wreath (skull)
Dragon

I thought that the veiled figure might represent Isis. Supposedly the inscription that appeared in front of her temple in Sais read: "I, Isis, am all that has been, that is or shall be; no mortal hath ever me unveiled."

Thanks, Faire Maiden. I'm just learning how to navigate this site, and becoming familiar with its resources and where they are located. To my chagrin :-), I found the very links you posted not long after I started my thread.
