Can you help,what are the hands coming out of the clouds meant to tell us.I use the W,R. pack. All the aces in this pack have them as do some of the other cards.To me they reppresent Spirit,or spirits offering things.Open to any help........

Since they are Aces they represent a pure form for that suit or a source or beginning. The hands, I believe, represent something offering something from above or wherever. As you say, spirits or more like God or whatever supreme being you see there. Giving and receiving are two sides of the same thing and usually a gift of this sort comes from someplace "higher". God has a lot to do with universal love which is almost synonymous with "giving". Just my take on these cards. Hope that helps a little.

THe hands like a representation of god is a possibility. An offering is definitively a good word here. But why not your own hands or the querent hands? Is the querent who has the oportunity to use that sword, to fill the cup etc... The clouds can indicate a higher source. But also something still not defined and with the possibility to move and evolve to another thing. Clouds are always changing their shape and we cant see clearly trough them. So, maybe we still arent aware of those beginings the Aces are.
