Meat and Potatoes Tarot (with Ellie)

Good grief, you've made it all the way to King of Cups! Well done! And what a King he is! Floating on his throne of stone, in a choppy sea. Only the King of Cups could do that. And Ellie explains why... 

A gentle Queen of Cups carefully examines the chalice of gold that she holds before her. Surrounded by pebbles, sand and water, this Queen is the Queen of compassion. But there's far more to Queen of Cups than just that. Ellie explains... 

The Knight of Cups sits high above his prancing horse, holding a golden chalice. But why? Shouldn't he be out fighting somewhere instead? After all, isn't that the whole point of being a knight? Ellie explains... 

Well, isn't the Page of Cups a pretty fellow! Ellie explains the concept of color, key symbols and the significance of the Page's clothing, to demonstrate how ahead of its time these 100 year old cards really were!

Ten of cups shows a man, a woman and two dancing children, beneath the glory of a rainbow of golden chalices. Hmm... because that happens every day, doesn't it? Ellie explains the imagery, the key symbols and why these people look so happy. 

Nine of Cups shows a rather smug fellow, arms crossed, sitting among the shelter of his 7 golden cups. So, is he hiding? Why is the table so high? What do the colors mean? And what would happen if yellow was blue and blue was yellow? Ellie explains... 

A man in a red cloak and red boots steps across a rocky body of water. But why is the ground so rocky? Why is the sun obscured by the moon? Why is the man's back turned away? And what about that gap in the cups? So many messages in such a simple imagery. Ellie explains... 

The Seven of Cups shows a blue sky, covered by grey clouds, which in turn are covered in a wide arrange of weird and wonderful offerings. So, why is Seven of Cups often referred to as the 'illusion delusion' card? Ellie explains why... 

The Six of Cups presents a lovely village scene, with 2 young children chatting as they mingle with cups filled with flowers. Unless of course you know better. The Six of Cups is so much more, let Ellie explain... 

The Five of Cups is a sad card, speaking of loss and hurt and disappointment. But is there more to Five of Cups than initially meets the eye? Of course there is! Ellie explains it all, so sit back and relax.
