School’s out for summer
We have cleared the walls of our imaginary class. You have your books packed up and have swapped numbers and IG accounts with others from the class. I am brewing us a final cup of tea. Today we close this part of our work together. During the past eighteen months (at the time of writing) […]

Lesson 92 – King of Cups
Our trip to the beach is coming to a close. We are beginning to pack up our things, make sure all the rubbish is in the bin, try to get sand out of our toes. Our final study of the day is the King of Cups. He is a male energy. He’s been back and […]

Lesson 91 – Queen of Cups
Wow, it’s getting warm. We are still on our imaginary seaside trip with the class. Some of us have been working on an epic sandcastle, while others have been collecting shells. We sent someone to get ice-creams and they dropped one and a seagull ate it. Our next study is the Queen of Cups. She […]

Lesson 90 – Knight of Cups
How are you enjoying our trip to the seaside? I hope you don’t have sand in your sandwiches; maybe later we’ll get ice-cream… The Knight of Cups is the next member of the family who comes into view. He is a younger person. Likely in his teens or early twenties. He has brought some friends […]

Lesson 89 – Page of Cups
Today our class is taking a trip to the beach. You hold the picnic blanket, I’ll bring the sandwiches. She has the chairs and he has the windbreak. It’s going to be epic. To work with the court cards for the Cups we’re going to observe them on a family day out at the seaside. […]

Lesson 88 – Ten of Cups
The end of the story. A family share a picnic beside a stream. A couple walk hand in hand into the sunset, or sit together in a bower. This card reminds me of the end of the movie. The lovers finally admit how they feel and kiss, or get married. The struggling young intern gets […]

Lesson 87 – Nine of Cups
Today let’s raise a glass. Look at how far we’ve come! This card for me is one of contentment and completion. In the traditional RWS deck a man sits with arms folded, nine golden cups arrayed behind him. He looks successful. He has his cups in a row, so to speak. The hard work and […]

Lesson 86 – Eight of Cups
Today’s lesson finds us in the classroom tidying. We are getting near to the end of our foundation lessons now. We have explored ways to approach reading the cards and travelled through the Major Arcana. We have visited with the Pentacles, Swords and Wands and are close to wrapping up our work with cups. I […]

Lesson 85 – Seven of Cups
Today’s lesson brings us some choices. The seven starts the final triplet in the pip cards. In this position it presents a conflict or challenge to be resolved in these three cards. In the images I see: a woman, a snake wrapped around her arm, face veiled, from a giant golden cup six upright cups […]

Lesson 84 – Six of Cups
After the challenges of the five we come to a place of completion, finishing this triad of cups cards. In the six I see images of people sharing gifts and enjoyment. There is an offering of flowers, a giant sparkling cup, I see two otters beside a pool in the Wildwood Tarot and a child […]
