The Ace of Cups - Drinking from the Well of Love

Anna K Tarot, Ace of Cups
For today I’ve drawn the Ace of Cups from The Anna K Tarot. I love how the colors in this card are so well chosen: blue for intuition and deep feelings, white for purity and yellow for heartfelt decisions how to use the potential of this wonderful Ace. We see a lovely young woman filling her cup with water from a deep blue well. The earth is still covered with snow but we already see the first signs of Spring: There are sprouting leaves on the Birch and  bulbs are waking up beneath the snow. This is a time full of potential and new beginnings.

The Ace of Cups is all about Love with a capital L. The purest deepest positive emotion we can feel.  But we have to be willing to reach deep down into ourselves to find this Love which is the, often unconsciousness, instigator of our daily acts of kindness, our intuitive love for our family , the sensual love for our partner and so many more expressions of this wonderful feeling.  In my opinion Love is energy which holds everything together. As we were created out of Love  so do we create out of love too. Every time we pass love on in whatever way or form, we create more love. So the well in this Ace never runs dry. Sometimes when we are weary it is good to sit near the well and let the healing water run over our wrists and then we can fill our cup again, sip from it and feel restored by Love

  2. The bottom of the cup can be bitter. It is up to us to recharge the refill

    1. I think all feelings can be reduced to two primal ones:Love and Fear, Light and Dark. And probable one can't exist without the other because everything in our dualistic life has its counterpart.... just thinking....

  4. A beautiful consideration of this card! The birch as a symbol of new growth is so perfect for this card. I like that you mention the healing element to this card because it comes across strongly in the symbolism - the girl in joyful yellow, sitting happily by the water.... the snow is cold and unforgiving, but the warmth of the sun gives the girl enough comfort to dip into the well. Very nice!

    1. Thanks Oliva! Here the Birch is among the first trees who grows new leaves in the early Spring, so yes it is a great choice

  5. This deck is beautiful. Easily a top favorite. Whenever I need to feel restored, or rejuvenated, I always find it near a stream of water.

    1. It is one of my favorites too: a very straightforward deck with beautiful artwork! You are so lucky to have that in you area. We do have a pond in a park but there are often people fishing there
