so ds got hold of a tarot deck and managed to get it all open and the card he chose was

The 6 of cups

I have googled this abit, but any ideas?

He is rather a happy fellow and abit of a hedonistic I suspect!

What do you want to know, is it right he looks at the cards? Or what 6 or cups means? I don't think anyone should read their own tarot and certainly not a child but that's just my opinion.

littlemissbossy · 12/09/2006 11:12

P, do you read tarot cards?

How old is he?

SaintGeorge · 12/09/2006 11:13

Nanou1 · 12/09/2006 11:17

Sounds like he's taking after you then papillon My eldest (8) is very spiritual too. An old soul.

Oh I think he has a very strong spirit - we were both born with more than a story of the birth to tell !!

what do you think SG? His first card was prince of swords, it seems with this deck I am the princess of swords! I have never played too much with tarot tbh and am quite wary of it.

Not a deck I have used. I like to picture the card as I think the soul put into the work by the artist has as much meaning as which card it is IYSWIM.

On that advice I "sat" with the cards last night.

knew it would be somewhere on the net

6 cups

I found the cups to be quite energetic - lamps of swirling vibrations.

I see energy and growth, especially in spirit. But also grounding and strong roots which will keep a good spiritual anchor in times of insecurity.

Oh thanks SG thats great I can see what you interpret from the picture.

Have linked the swords pics - if it would be okay for you to check them out? I really am not sure, feel quite into the green colour, but am not sure of especially ds prince swords one... as it seems like there are puppets on a string.

Hope you are doing well today... sun is shining here so I send some sunlight x

Would love to see them more closely but from what I can see:

Princess - deeply rooted, grounded in the past but the modern feel of the triangles and the artistic style tell me that there is an urge to keep up to date, reach out into the future.

There is an earthiness about the colours, but reaching up into the golds and the spiritual. The path forward has not been easy, a constant battle of wills but not one that will be surrendered easily.

SaintGeorge · 13/09/2006 11:29

Prince - I see an interesting battle in this one, almost a severing of the earthly ties. I think your little man will be a traveller but it won't always be his feet that take him on his journeys.

Is he using the sword to whip and encourage or to cut the bonds? You can't see the tip of the sword which I find somehow significant.

Spirit is strong and I fancy a massive quest for knowledge will lead him on.

SaintGeorge · 13/09/2006 11:30

Looking again, travel is indeed strong. He is very much in control of the chariot.

there were bigger pics but the colours weren´t right - will post them for you

just read what you put and am digesting it all

OP posts:

SaintGeorge · 13/09/2006 11:33

Not much good at online readings. I do tend to read by the feelings I get both from the art work and feeling the actual card as it is in the spread. I guess I really need to have the person present so that I get a spiritual link.

Have to go to work, will catch up later.
