@ghandigirl I clearly see the act of cups in your chalice description.
Ghandigirl, because I don't think in cards, the Ace of Cups never even occurred to me. 🙄 (duh!!) I have 40 years of symbols in my intuitive brain/heart/consciousness, but even after purchasing a Thoth deck, that Ace had not as yet been included in my symbolic imagery. You may find it amusing that after initially writing that post but before posting, I googled "gold chalice" to see if I could find one that fit my vision. I found some close ones, but nothing like what I had been given by Spirit. I also googled vortex to see if any fit my vision, some were very close, but the graphics of intuition (at least for me) rarely fit anything exactly. Air sign. It is all in the "air" and etheric consciousness for me. ANYWAY! I immediately looked at the Thoth card and although it did not exactly fit my visual either, it struck me (with Spirit smiles abounding—the kind of smile a great mentor has when you have grasped a concept that has been put before you.)...it struck me, that my vision chalice and the Thoth chalice, although not the same in looks, came from the essence of our @jeanne-mayell and the Circle of Light because Circle is a wholeness created by and through Jeanne's willingness to lead such a meditation, and offer it freely to the collective. The Ace of Cups visual is important not because it is or isn't my visual, and is an integral part of her intuitive lexicon, but because it showed me, once again, (duh) that ESSENCE, not literal "seeing it the same" is the mechanism that brings intuitives together.
Now "Essence" is a lesson I thought I had learned years ago. 😊 I've mentioned sending one healing color and having it received as a different color, yet healing occurred because HEALING not color was the purpose. I thought I knew all there was to know about that, 🙄 and then Circle, Chalices, and in particular your post, took me to an even deeper understanding of how we (intuitives) translate information into our own comfortable lexicon of words and images. Thank you for Lighting my way to that comprehension!
All those words when what I began to say was a chalice, to me, represents the spiritual gathering of humanity and the rituals that we, humanity, build within our need to address the Creator's Presence. The elixir is not only healing, but, coming from the chalice, represents nourishing the Wholeness within each of us. The chalice "gives" the elixir, and we receive knowledge and healing. I suspect the Ace of Cups probably fits that "Essence" in some way. I don't really know how exactly though, as Tarot is a field of flowers I have not yet ventured into, although I now have a deck (and incentive) through which to explore that meadow of knowledge.
I have been pondering this ever since I read your post, (and your other post as well in a different thread), which is allowing me to follow a path of thought that I might otherwise never have traveled. Truthfully, I was kind of balking at studying tarot, now I am much more inclined to gather in its blossoms. Thank you so much!
Namaste ❤️
@cc21 and Circle of Light community. I apologize for having to cancel Circle tonight. It's gardening time and I got bitten by some new climate creature I've never encountered before and my doctor wanted to check it out right when Circle was starting. But all is well except that I missed our lovely meditation. We will be back on Monday morning at 7 am PT/ 10 am ET. I hope to see you all there. ❤️ 🌹 🥀
Next Circle of Light is WEDNESDAY MAY 22 at 7 pm ET. No Circle of Light Monday May 20.
