The Gold Foil Tarot- Six of Cups
The Rider-Waite-Smith/Gold Foil-Six of Cups Tarot Card is staying with a more mundane meaning than say the more metaphysical Thoth Tarot as it shows the beginning of pleasure as an image of flowers emerging from the cups. The card is yellow and bright acknowledging the Sun's influence on this card. The scene of the Children in a garden, suggests a card of pleasurable memories. Hence, this is a card reflecting on past childhood memories of happiness, enjoyment, which come from the past things that have vanished. Waite, keeping to his lodge oath, truly shows little of the Arcane and/or symbols of the intangible in his cards, be they major or minor arcana. Therefore, Pamela Coleman Smith, the artist, was left with mundane pictures that didn't truly convey the deeper arcane meanings but are suggested if you are of Greater Self Knowledge. That is the reason Alister Crowley and Lady Frieda Harris collaborated to artfully place all that could be pictured into occult or arcane meaning available in the Thoth Cards---my favorite Tarot Cards. Crowley never liked lodges and believed that this "arcane knowledge" of self should be available to all who dared to seek out their True Self and leave the common-word hypnosis-controlled paths of the indoctrinated and dogmatized mundane masses.
The Tarot of the Old Path- 6 of Cauldrons
The Six of Cauldrons illustrates a young couple, dressed in the colors of the element of water, standing around a table supporting six cauldrons. The young man is holding her hand towards his lips to kiss it and she is demurely gazing at a cauldron that she is holding.
The Cauldron in her hand, has an ox-eye daisy sprouting out of it. In the language of flowers, the ox-eye daisy implies innocent and faithful love.
The cauldrons all glow with reflected light and are full of water which is the card's ruling element.
The primary message of the Six of Cauldrons is about an innocent and undemanding love.
- Accepting a partner and companion for what they are.
- A nostalgic reunion with an old friend.
- Memories.
When the 6 of Cups or Cauldrons is thrown in a divination, it implies:
- Emotional pleasure, in a period of 6 weeks or 6 months of giving to and receiving pleasure from others.
- A period of innocence and taking immense pleasure in one's childlike qualities.
- An orgasmic rush of feelings, a wave of ecstasy that even when sad feelings are being actively expressed, the release feels pleasurable.
- Sweet memories of the past, as past efforts bring present rewards.
- Wellbeing, harmony of natural forces without effort or strain.
- The "adorable Fire", a flowing of deep spiritual warmth in a relationship.
- Ease and satisfaction on a deep inner spiritual plane of pleasure.
- Note: Foreign to the Western Hermetic Qabalistic idea of this card, is the gratification of artificial or natural desires, as it is pleasure understood in the highest inner sense.
If Reversed:
- The future.
- Renewal.
- That which will happen presently.
- Moodiness, withdrawal from friends.
- Masochistic behavior.
