- Four of Cups & Reversals
Mel and Alyssa dive into the Four of Cups to unpack exactly what it is that makes this card so melancholy. We talk about the factors in our own lives that can cause us to disconnect from the love and divinity around us, and we discuss how we've learned to find gratitude and grounding through some of our most depressing times. Join us to deep dive into all the imagery, history & more!
