What the card shows

Children share flowers in a familiar village. The card invites fond memory, childhood joy and simple acts of kindness.

Let a memory inform the present without asking the present to become the past.

Cups belong to water. They hold feeling, relationships, intuition and imagination. Cups cards ask what moves you and how you care for yourself and others.
