Challenge 18: Six of Cups
Six of Cups (late challenge for June)
- With nostalgic bliss, revisit youthful joys
-"This card is the only one in the Tarot that refers explicitly to the past, and of memories and good times experienced there. After losses such as those on the Five we sometimes have to take a time out to heal, to look back on the past and all the good that lies there. And during such times it's never the right thing to focus on the negative, and that's why this card is so positive and full of light. The fallen cups are now full and upright again, but with blooming flowers that cannot be spilled or washed away. Now that you have looked back, maybe now the way will be clear to look forward." source
-"Nostalgia but not mere longing for the past, rather, purposeful remembrance of some cherished moment or person that we can bring into the present. Also, reviving something from the past, a relationship or situation, not to re-live but to take in a new direction. Also, the card may represent the gift of wisdom from a mentor to a pupil or family member. Reversed the card can mean living too much in the past, unable to break free from memories. Or conversely, forsaking the past and moving forward into the future." source
