Ok… so it comes to Mystereum Cups and mountains and I could chatter on about how big solid things pair and stand together and synergies that are formed etc etc etc…
Instead I’ll play with a couple of other things that caught my attention…
I looked at the cards where the mountain appears to be missing…
And first I come to the 5 of Cups and until now, I’ve always seen those waves as being the sea… it seemed so obviously so… yet when I place the 4 next to the 6 and consider what has happened in between, I notice that the snowy peaks in the 4 are replaced by grassy green in the 6 and now I see the 5 as being a thawing process… Waves released into the stream caused by the melting snow…
So suddenly my 5 of Cups feels to have morphed into X The Wheel… and that makes me smile because often it is the turbulent times that toss the treasure to the surface and then your fortune is found…
Then my eye moves along the run of 7,8,9,10…
The 7… I don’t know if the mountain is there or not… it’s too cloudy to see but I guess it is… and the 8? Have I climbed up higher than the clouds? Maybe so… because here’s the 9 and it looks like that big fat old sun is sat at the centre…
But that 10… those mountains are different and look more like those to be found in the suit of Swords… maybe that’s what they look like on a clear day? Is the 10 of Cups on the other side of the Cups mountains?
I look at the 10 of Cups and it nudges me to fetch XX…
And when I ask XX what the story is… it falls into a horizontal line of three cards that I want to flip to vertical…
And when I see them vertical it reminds me of the champagne tower and now I’m back to where I started about how things come together to stand solidly… which is what I said I wouldn’t do…
Hey! I’m sure I can hear the 9 of Cups singing…
