Tarot Meditation 5 of Cups: the Illuminated Tarot

An example of why the Illuminated Tarot rocks for yogis ( and for everyone else).

The 5 of Cups. Traditional meanings prior to the Rider Waite Smith and after the 1910 publication of the RWS reference the spilled substance(s) as depicted by Pamela Coleman Smith's famous artwork for the tarot deck commissioned by Rider and Waite as described in the "Pictorial Key to the Tarot."

Waite describes the image but, what the heck is that substance anyway? Where do some tarot readers get the "crying over spilled milk, anyway?

Attached is an article describing Halahala, and the mythology of the substance said to be churned up by demons and swallowed by Lord Shiva ( themes involving the throat chakra, speech, communication, the second house, Shiva's wife, etc. are plentiful and of course can be applied to a tarot reading or meditation).

The Iluminated Tarot by Caitlin Keegan is highly recommended for Tarot Practioners, yogis, Mindful Pratitioners, Tarot Readers ( IMHO, they are all the same) and of course for everyone else.

Tarot is such a wonderful tool for meditation, transformation, and so many natural health practices/ remedies. It is hoped this post stimulates ideas and conversations for tarot practitioners everywhere.

Namaste.
