Episode 45: Ten of Cups

Be Careful What You Wish For! for here is the 10 of Cups - and it's even more special than you think. Also known as the Lord of "Satiety" or "Perfected Success" it's associated with the final decan of Pisces - the end of the zodiacal year.  Fiery Mars rules over this watery final decan, and fiery Mars will rule over the first Aries decan as well. Where fire and water meet, we find rainbows - like the one crowning the Rider Waite Smith version of this card.  Here are strange combinations of desire and dissolution, the powerful drives of the hungriest god foundering in the mystic seas of the cosmic fish! In this episode, we consider the poppy as oblivion and beauty, the Shekhinah as bride-queen-mother, excess of appetite, morbid hunger, the false hopes of Elpis versus the foreboding of Moros, Prometheus, the homeland, the perfection of Atlantis, the seeds of destruction.    We ponder lust of result, the magical backstage, the final bow, pipe dreams, the great lotus and the tilted cups.
