Today, I am drawn to my Wild
Unknown Tarot. My cards are the
Ace of Cups and the Ten of Cups. I
threw these two with my Thoth deck on May 18th; here we are almost
two months later, same cards.
Let’s go a bit more in depth.
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 Wild Unknown Ace of Cups has a simple image on it: a
chalice. The background is blue, representing
the element of Water that is represented by the Cup, and it appears that golden
light is shining out of the Cup, but we can’t be sure. Is the Cup filled with some kind of
beautifully glistening Water? Or
is it empty, and what we are seeing is actually an illusion or a dream? We can’t tell yet, but the possibility
of experiencing something wonderful is there.
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 Ten of Cups in this deck is
harmony and joy personified! The
top five Cups each spill out an individual color, and the bottom five Cups each
receive one stream of each color!
Everything can be found within the energies of this card: specific
emotional purity as well as a balanced mix of all feelings. By following one of the pure Cups
downward we learn integration of a specific feeling into our lives, and by
following one of the colors of the mixed Cups upward, we learn how to deal with
and understand and honor one specific feeling. There is a heck of a lot of power in this card!!
Today I am being told of
emotional potential, and perhaps the potential to integrate my emotions and my
feelings together in a new way.
Those emotions may be quite deep (and there is no guaranty that they
will all be pleasant),and they most likely will have something to do with
connections of some kind. The cool
thing is that I should be able to use my experiences thus far, both the
pleasant experiences and the painful experiences, to integrate whatever comes
at me.
This makes particular sense to
me right now. I’ve had an
experience that is making me remember a painful time in my life. Memories are churning to the surface of
my mind, reminding me of painful and difficult moments of the past. I’ve done this before, in my Shadow
Work, in an effort to heal; this time is different. Each memory that returns floats before me for a moment, and
then turns to ash and blows away.
Perhaps, as my cards are telling me, I have the experience necessary to
heal myself and release these memories, once and for all.
Only time will tell.
