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
We both seem to have full cups today. :) Hope the sips from yours are simply delightful!
ReplyDeleteHa ha I was just on your blog typing something similar! Lets enjoy our cups today!
DeleteThe bottom of the cup can be bitter. It is up to us to recharge the refill
ReplyDeleteOr it tastes like heaven and urges us to refill, drink and share more...
DeleteI love your vision of love, the energy of creation, the substance that waters all our relationships :)
ReplyDeleteI 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....
DeleteA 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!
ReplyDeleteThanks Oliva! Here the Birch is among the first trees who grows new leaves in the early Spring, so yes it is a great choice
DeleteThis deck is beautiful. Easily a top favorite. Whenever I need to feel restored, or rejuvenated, I always find it near a stream of water.
ReplyDeleteIt 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
DeleteEllen your lovely interpretation is very much a balm for those of us feeling lonely and sad. Not that I'm feeling this way just a good thing to read anytime, because it is a deposit into the love bank;) <3
ReplyDeleteIt is indeed a balm card for me these days. Lately I had to make some withdraws myself from that bank :)
DeleteI was very glad to hear your back has improved Ellen. <3
