I need more questions! if you’d like a bespoke poem and reading of your own…
I’m hoping you’d give me a reading with a poem. A reading about what my next year looks like.

The Hierophant
Spiritual wisdom, religious beliefs, conformity, tradition, institutions
Five Of Cups
Regret, failure, disappointment, pessimism.
A year filled with wisdom. A year of belief.
A year where a guru provides some relief.
Is yours the tradition? Are you the rapt seeker?
Or are you the one in the role of a teacher?It’s easy to focus on what’s the most glaring:
Dark-robed and downcast, some failure apparent…
But even regretting what’s spilled at your feet,
There’s cups still behind you to cherish and treat.
Looking closely at that Five of Cups—always a bummer card to see show up in a reading—you’ll see that just above the two cups still standing, there is a bridge over the river that flows through the background.
I think that’s an important message to take away anytime this Five shows up. The cups still standing are to the character’s right, representing that they are still in the future.
You may find yourself—in fact its an almost inevitable part of the human experience—in a situation where you’re focused inward and toward the past, regretting some apparent failure. But I suppose it would be “The Mighty WiggleStick’s” assertion that you just need to get a bridge constructed to the bright future still awaiting you farther down the river of time.
The Hierophant is an interesting one. It always makes me think of traditional rites of passage in our culture. Graduations, weddings, new jobs. Some kind of interaction with an institution.
For whatever reason though, I felt some kind of intuitive pull toward locating you both at the feet of this great religious leader—and the institution he represents—and also as that leader yourself!
Interested to hear whether this resonates. Leave a comment and let me know!
If you liked this, you can always buy a cup of coffee as a form of Dāna.
