Today I’m back to the Thoth
Tarot and the teachings of Uncle Al.
My cards are the Ace of Cups and the Ten of Cups. Interesting!
The Ace of Cups
(Libra, “We are,” partnerships, balance, cooperation, Scorpio, “I desire,”
intense, deep, mysterious, obsessive, Sagittarius, “I seek,” philosophic,
fun-loving, adventurous, blundering) tells of the potential to experience deep
emotions, a connection to my Inner Voice, and a connection to those around me.
The Thoth Ace
of Cups, like all the Aces, is about potential and possibilities. Crowley believes that the Aces contain
all the other numbered cards of the suit, or at least the potential to become
them. The beautiful Cup on this
card is surrounded by ripples of water, and a light shines upward, sourced from
whatever is in that Cup.
The Ten of Cups (Mars, action, spontaneity, aggression, drive, in
Pisces, “I believe,” feeling, duality, spirituality, suffering and growth) in
an upright position offers the manifestation of happiness, simple joys, and
fulfillment. The number Ten is about the completion of a cycle or
manifestation, and the suit of Cups is about emotions, feelings and the inner
self, so this card offers the bounty that comes with the successful
experiencing of all the lessons of the Cups cards.
The Thoth Ten of Cups shows ten
Cups (set up like the Tree of Life) with the upper Cups overflowing into those
below. These Cups have lights
shining from them, but those lights are all aimed downward, giving the card a
somewhat heavy feeling. Cups
running over can make a mess, so the emotional completeness being signified by
this card might not be pleasant.
The day seems to be filled with
Watery possibilities, as well as Watery manifestations. I will need to remember how much
feelings and dreams will come into play today, and perhaps I can ride this wave
onto shore without falling.
I’m going to be away for
Memorial Day Weekend, so you might not see me for a week or so. Don’t worry, though; I’ll be back!
