    The Rider Waite Tarot The Two’s

    The twos are the first depiction of multiple forces in each suite and they ask us to consider what happens when two separate entities come together. This question has a number of outcomes as we all can confirm. Sometimes unions are harmonious, blessed with the magic of instant connection and shared experiences. And sometimes unions are frightening, less between two personalities and more between parts of ourselves. In contrast to the singularity and power of the aces, twos are all about the themes of duality and connection. One may be the loneliest number, but it’s easy to identify. As we move into plurality things quickly become interesting and deliciously complex.

    The Rider Waite Tarot Suit of Cups

    The Suit of Cups deals with the emotional level of consciousness and is associated with love, feelings, relationships and connections. Cups are about displays of emotion, expression of feelings and the role of emotions in relation to others. The Cups Tarot cards indicate that you are thinking with your heart rather than your head, and thus reflect your spontaneous responses and your habitual reactions to situations. Cups are also linked to creativity, romanticism, fantasy and imagination. The negative aspects of the Suit of Cups (i.e. when the Cups cards appear reversed) include being overly emotional or completely disengaged and dispassionate, having unrealistic expectations and fantasising about what could be. There may be repressed emotions, an inability to truly express oneself and a lack of creativity. The Suit of Cups traditionally represents the west and autumn. If using an ordinary deck of playing cards, Cups are represented by the Suit of Hearts.

    The Original Rider Waite Tarot Deck is the most popular and widely used tarot card deck in the world, printed from plates that were destroyed during the bombing of London during World War II. Full of symbolism and deeper meanings, Arthur E. Waite, the intellectual father of the Rider Waite deck, commented that ‘the true Tarot is symbolism; it speaks no other language and offers no other signs.’

    Here are some snippets from a few of my favorite books

    Complete Book of Tarot
    Book Details

    Complete Book of Tarot: Starting with the significator Knight as number 1, we count four to the left and arrive at the Two of Cups, which suggests that the querent may have a love relationship or close partnership on his mind.

    Tarot Books Best Tarot Cards

    Complete Book of Tarot: Crowley/GD: Peace, a quarrel settled and resolved, peace restored but some tension remaining. Crowley objects to the Golden Dawn’s ‘peace restored’ because he says there has been no disturbance, and he likens this card to the negative form of a positive idea and the masterful chastity of an honorable knight.

    Portable Magic: Build the triangle of realization in the manner already described on the western side of the circle so that the triangle points toward the west. If you are seated in the west facing east, the triangle will point toward you. The west is the appropriate quarter for the location of the triangle in the ritual of union because the west is the quarter of elemental Water in the system of the Golden Dawn, and Water is the element associated with psychic activity.
