Two of Cups
Two of Cups — the suit of water, of feeling and the inner life.
A youth and maiden are pledging one another, and above their cups rises the Caduceus of Hermes, between the great wings of which there appears a lion's head. It is a variant of a sign which is found in a few old examples of this card. Some curious emblematical meanings are attached to it, but they do not concern us in this place.
Divinatory meaning
Love, passion, friendship, affinity, union, concord, sympathy, the inter-relation of the sexes, and--as a suggestion apart from all offices of divination--that desire which is not in Nature, but by which Nature is sanctified. [Illustration]
