3 of Cups, it's been so long, it's been too long

Welcome me back! That's what you should do. We'll drink to that, my startling resumption.

Some notes for you - First- I have excellent friends, one of whom came over and brought his fancy-pants camera and tripod to photograph all the pictures so far - so steps are being taken to make a real-true product. Likewise, if you've got a favorite I am probably going to be able to sell you a print here pretty soon. Thing is- supplies being what they are, I'm getting to the point where I'm needing to finance this whole endeavor, and selling pictures seems to be the smartest play. So yes, that. Filthy commerce.

The 3 in the minor aracana is a notalbe number. The lowest stable number, the stool, it stands on its own, the first one to do it. The 3 of cups is about joyful communion - friends gathering in commemoration. You have the 3 cups brought together and that's a convivial experience.

We meet and have our glasses, our drinks and we are happy to be together. There's a good-trueness to this, reunion, gathering, after-work shenanigans, weekend adventures, some friends for supper.


It's probably silly to point out that I really love convivial gatherings, we all do, we all love to be around and among our friends, joined at the cup and the head, happy to talk, catch up and gossip. The drinks are a sacramental component, a cursory, helpful but not the whole thing, only a part of the meeting.


So next time we're together grab a glass, we'll drink to the pleasure of companionship, the unassuming goodness of social contact.
