Minor Arcana

Six of Cups

Ted and Fraser entertain the young bears of their extended family in a happy celebration. Although the tree that is shedding its leaves, the early, deep red, setting sun, and the well-filled river all suggest autumn, the weather is mild enough and calm enough to be relaxing out of doors.

Some of the little ones listen avidly to Ted’s storytelling. One plays with flowers, another is more interested in his delicious, brightly coloured drink, while the last wanders off to admire the sunset, though not so far away as to be in any danger. The atmosphere of the whole scene is one of quiet enjoyment.

Divination

Pleasant memories, especially memories of childhood. Harmony, sharing, pleasure. Sharing with children, or sharing in a companionship newly formed and yet to grow. Revival of an old friendship. Wishes have been fulfilled, but care will be needed to sustain them.
