Got my hands tattooed recently!

Planetary symbols at the bottom, the elements symbols and the magician's tools/ the minor arcanas from tarot at the top.

My favourite detail is that the wand and sword went onto my point fingers, to direct energy, just like the tools!

Whisper Tarot - 8 of Cups

The secret to a long life is knowing when it’s time to go. The 8 of Cups represents disappointment, escapism, perhaps abandonment. It’s the compulsion to get away from a bad situation. Something is missing from your life, and it is time to move on and find out what it is. Thanks to Jaded-Reflection on Deviant Art for use of the Cup.…

Ace of Cups

Hello!! I'm participating in @a-witch-named-crow’s tarot study challenge, and the first day is Ace of Cups, so here we go :)

Suit and Numerology

The suit of cups represents our emotions and heart, how we express emotion, and how we connect with others. Positive aspects include relationships and intuition while negative aspects include loss and emptiness. Since it's a cup, the associated element is water.

Aces represent new beginnings, potential, and opportunity.

Ace of Cups

This card represents many things, such as relationships of all kinds, emotional release, and spiritual fulfillment.

It's a time to accept your emotions, whether they are new or being repressed. Be open to them and don't lock them away. This can be through thing such as emotional release or a new relationship.

Ace of Cups is a good omen for creativity and growth in new projects. It also represents a time to explore your spirituality and is a reminder to have joy in the present moment.

Many people also associate this card with fertility and emotional changes in life, such as pregnancy and marriage.

My Interpretation

I use the Cosmic Slumber deck and what I saw varied greatly from the general meaning of Ace of Cups. I love this deck, don't get me wrong, but it had more of a negative vibe for me.

The card is set against a deep ocean. An overflowing golden goblet is being held over it by a hand with a red sleeve. There's a magenta-robed blonde in the cup who's reaching up out of the rim for someone/thing out of view.

Before I looked at what the books said, I tried to intuit it. I saw the blonde as someone who feels like she is drowning, unaware of the hand supporting her from below. She's waiting for the help of someone who's long-gone, rather than leaning on the one already there. Despite her not recognizing what help she has, she is still being supported. To me, this says to be grateful for what you have and to not look too far into the past or future.

Wildly different from the definitions above, I know. Now that I've done my research, let me try again.

The ocean could represent her emotions, same as the water in the cup. She's getting overwhelmed by her emotions because she's been repressing  them; she needs to face them. The hand supporting her could represent other people in her life that she could turn to. It's not the time to be stagnant and waiting for something that may never come.

All of the Suit of Cups cards are totally finished!! 

I’ve been posting regular updates on Instagram btw...but I’ll try to post weekly here too. Tumblr’s platform has just really deteriorated lately lol, so it’s harder to keep up with. 

Btw, I’m estimating the deck will be fully painted and ready for printing around April! It’s so soon!!
