Eight of Cups

We have hiked all the way down to the grotto, all the way down to the deep altar space, of the heart. When we got there, we paid homage. The journey was different than we thought it would be. What we found here, was not quite what we expected.

As we leave, we have pay our respects by setting the carrion stacks to show that something has died here. We are starting our journey back, though we won’t be going BACK. We are moving forward. 

We will cover familiar territory as we have walked this path before, but this time we have new eyes. We walk with some assurance, that we have seen this landscape, we have stumbled over these boulders, and through the winding, treacherous at times, we are not afraid. 

There are still two cups to collect. There is more to drink up. The holy grail still has not been found. We thought it was all the way deep in our own heart, but we find now that the true LIVING CUP is one that we share.

And while we have taken the journey inward, to retrieve it, the journey outward is the real test. The journey outward to sharing, to authentically drinking from that cup and allowing others to drink form it as well. 

We will find these last cups in Pisces right before the Spring Equinox, but for now we have to walk the walk through fiery Sagittarius.

Through Fire, Willingness, and Courage, we will travel beyond our known horizons, past the towns and homes and schools of thought, past all the beliefs that we used to hold, because now that we hold the truth of our heart, we are fearless. 

We know that we no longer even need the certainty of our small lives. We can take the world and drink it up too. And we are so excited. We feel maybe for the first time that WE ARE READY. After facing every fear within, there are none without that we cant handle. 

And we are so grateful. To be holding finally the true living cup of ourselves. 

So much love to you, Courageous Grail Holders.
