Essence
The Candelabra represents the eternal human quest to illuminate darkness through knowledge, faith, and shared understanding. It embodies the principle that truth reveals itself through multiple expressions - just as seven flames can burn with different colors yet all provide light. This card speaks to both the solitary scholar burning midnight oil and the community gathered in ceremony, reminding us that enlightenment is both an individual journey and a collective heritage. The Candelabra teaches that we each carry a flame meant not only to guide our own path but to join with others in creating a greater radiance that can illuminate the way for all who seek.
Symbolism
The candelabra is light carried out into the dark, many flames from one stem: many paths of understanding held together. The woman bearing it walks away from the chapel, taking the sacred light out into the world. The white roses are purity and devotion along the way. The night shows that this light matters most where it is darkest.
Composition
A woman in a long dark-green gown walks along a pale stone path through a night garden, holding up a tall silver candelabra with five lit candles in one hand. White roses grow thickly on both sides of the path. Behind her the path leads back to a small stone chapel with a green door and a cross on its roof. Bare trees frame the starry sky.
Atmosphere
Deep night with a scattering of stars, lit only by the candles' warm glow. The mood is reverent, quiet and glowing.

Render prompt
A priestess in a long dark-green velvet gown walks slowly along a stone path through an evening garden, carrying a tall seven-branched silver candelabra before her in both hands, all seven candles lit with small steady flames. The warm candlelight falls on her face and on the white roses growing beside the path. Behind her, the path leads back to the dark arched doorway of a small stone chapel. Deep blue dusk sky with the first stars. Reverent, quiet, glowing mood.

Written by attach_image.py with the image above. It holds everything needed to re-render that image without the ComfyUI output file — render_card.py --from-note "<title>" does all of it: post workflow to ComfyUI's /prompt endpoint, then run frame_card.py --art <output> --title <title> <frame_flags>; for each entry in repairs, first run its workflow on the unframed art and keep the result only inside box (soft edge feather), as edit_card.py does. The model files named below must exist in ComfyUI.
