Five Of Cups - Blog Posts

The second card I drew for @malevolenttarotzine! Definitely the one that was hardest to manifest from my brain into a visual image, and I'm proud of how it came together.

The five of cups is about loss, grief, regret, and the impossibility of letting go. Your path has turned sharply, unexpectedly, and nothing is okay, and from this angle it's difficult to see any hints of hope around you. I wanted the unwritten music sheets, and open side of the bathroom, to be those hints of hope in this version of the card. You won't forget, but one day you will draw strength from this experience, and make it to the five of cups reversed: acceptance, recovery.
