Today’s card reminds me that being known is a good thing. I think, on some level, we all want to be known. Here is the Nine of Cups from the Tarot of Saqqara. This is an Egyptian-based deck with many symbols to delve into.
What catches my eye is that central piece of the two interlocking not-quite-squares. Are they polyhedrons? Math is not my strong suit so I’m guessing here.
But look at how they connect and how they support the nine bowls (cups) around. I think the thing to remember is that if we want to be known—to gain public recognition, we must network with others. By doing that, we create a strong support system. Each one speaks highly of the other creating a greater sense of “look! she’s done a cool thing” than one person can.
I have to tell you that I find this deck extremely overwhelming in terms of information. Each card gives you so much. You really need to be up on your Egyptian as well.
I was given a review copy (and I’ll be doing a video review most likely) of this fascinating deck.
So for your 180 seconds today, why not give a shout out for someone else that you admire. That’s your challenge, my dears. Start building, improving, creating your own network for your own fabulous self.
