comparativetarot: Four of Cups. Art by Isa Carlin, from The Careful Tarot. If the river is a ghost, am I?Unsoothable thirst is one type of haunting.— Natalie Diaz, “The First Water is the Body”The Four of Cups is a card about navel-gazing and turning inward. It is a card of isolation. While alone-ness can be good in many instances, this card pushes us to consider our solitude as, perhaps, a way to avoid accountability or action in the world around us.This card is really about dissociation from the world, fugue states, and depressive episodes. It is about the bone-deep fatigue that pulls us away from our friends and family. And, it is about the learning that can emerge during these times.Keywords: isolation, dissociation, disconnection -- source link
