Jason assembles some of his Argonauts (the Dioscuri, Castor and Polydeuces; Heracles; Theseus, King of Athens; and Orpheus) as their ship the Argo awaits them. Everyone except Jason and Orpheus hold a flaming wand.

Argonauts
set out to obtain the Golden Fleece
Athene aided in the building of the Argo by providing a speaking prow
there were 50-60 Argonauts according to different sources
Overview
a card of harvest and reward
the challenge of the new creative idea has been met, hard work has been performed and now one can reap the reward that has been earned through effort
assembling those who one knows can help one achieve the new creative idea
a pleasant period for deserved rest and relaxation
a holiday
a moment of celebration before the next stage of the journey begins
Random Thoughts
gathering the skill set (whether from others or within oneself) necessary to achieve one’s goal – strength, creative vision, the cutting edge of a clever mind and the deep feeling and empathy with which one can disarm any foe
it takes a village to attain a goal
a circle of friends is important to the attainment of one’s goal
as he’s not holding a wand, Orpheus seems to play the role of “I’m a lover, not a fighter”
not holding a wand, Jason appears to be the brains while those who do hold wands appear to be the brawn
a group of people whose individual journeys merge for a time to begin a joint journey

The keyword/phrase I came up with in my workbook on 14 Mar 92 was "celebration after hard efforts".
