THREE OF CUPS
Weird Sisters -- Celebration. Friendship. Coming together with others in communal expression and support. Lifting each other up. Combined efforts lead to generous feelings. Companionship. Common cause.
SHADOW: Humans are hardwired for social interaction. It feels good to be part of a group, to find a "tribe" and hold feelings of connection and belonging. Are you sacrificing any part of who you are to fit in? Are you enjoying inclusivity based on keeping others out?
Three cats sit together with eyes as wide as saucers. They gaze into a crackling fire, mesmerized by dancing flames as if terrific visions dance before them. They are hypnotized. Smoke curls above them. Their collective dream reaches up and out into the world. Each cat sits near a cup. The feline energy is like Macbeth's three witches, the sacred trinity, the sacred power of gathered souls who share the desire to create a new ecstatic reality. The number three reflects creativity. The friends share a common goal. They are stronger together.
The cats vision quest collectively and are greater than the sum of their parts. This gives them cause for celebration. The emotional nature of cups is magnified by the creative number three. It is the indestructible bond of friendship and showing up for others.
