Card Story

In the Six of Cups, a young boy leans down and passes a cup filled with flowers to a younger  girl. The girl looks up to the boy with love and respect as he offers the flowers to her. Love,  harmony and co-operation – all key elements of the Six of Cups – shine through this gentle  act. The young children also represent childhood memories. In the background, an older man walks away in the distance, as if to say you no longer  need to worry about adult issues; just enjoy the moment of being young, innocent and free  again. The children also appear to be standing in the courtyard of a large home, symbolising  comfort, safety and security. In the foreground stand four more cups filled with flowers, and  a fifth cup sits on a pedestal behind the boy.

Quotes

“Keeping in touch with childhood memories keeps us believing in life’s simplest pleasures like a rainy afternoon, a swing set, and a giant puddle to play in.”
