Day 16: The Knight of Cups

The Card

Yaaaaaaay KNIGHTS.  Knights are awesome.  They are just as chivalrous, brave and adventurous as the tales all tell us.  But what's so badass about this knight is that SHE'S a SHEEEE.

BAM

Lady Knight

And, if you haven't heard, girls rule and boys drool.  It's true.

I think we're all getting quite well-aquainted with the cups, so by now you know that they're all lovey dovey and what not.  The Knight of Cups is like love times a trillion.  She's always pining over someone and always means to call but gets distracted by the next pretty face.  But she's not like Barney Stinson from How I Met Your Mother because she's actually chivalrous so she won't bang you and never call you, just recite some poetry, maybe kiss you and then never call you.   

So last week there were a load of swords and this week there's a ton of cups, and I just want to say that I shuffle these cards like a maniac.  Like at least ten times and then I cut the deck into three and shuffle again like five times.  So if you're thinking the reason these patterns come up is due to faulty shuffling, SCREW YOU YOU'RE WRONG! I highly doubt that is a possibility.

The Process

 

Thank goodness today was better than yesterday, like a million times better.  I think I also didn't put any pressure on myself so that helped a lot.  It was a pretty chill day.  Like sup.  Like hypothetical beer in one hand, beach in the other or something.  But I am stone cold sober.  So I don't know what I am talking about. 

All I'm trying to say is that I took this intense love as a gift and translated it into words as best as I can, and I came up with this

In Conclusion

I think there's a ghost in the house.  But that's nothing new, I've thought it for 25 years now.

ONWARDS AND YAY!
