The Three of Cups
The Lord of Abundance is a warm and joyous card,
which indicates a rare and precious type of love -
a love which, once experienced, reminds us of the
richness of shared emotion and commitment.
It is also a card which refers to the wellspring
of fertility, whether spiritual or material. Here
we see the first seeds sown of a bright and
bountiful harvest. Accordingly, the card will
sometimes come up to indicate high days of
celebration - like weddings or other intimate
celebrations of love.
The emotional quality represented by this card is
deep and unusual - indicating the love felt not
only by lovers, but also the love between close
friends, or family. These relationships are gifts,
which need to be cared for with great respect and
gratitude.
The Lord of Abundance offers one word of warning -
this type of love cannot be created, nor
engineered. When it occurs in our lives we are
lucky and blessed. Some people spend a lifetime
looking for such depth of emotion. And sometimes,
people try to pretend it exists where it does not.
So when you raise this card in a reading be aware
that you are fortunate indeed!
Working with the Three of Cups
Ah - the Lord of Abundance is one of my very
favourite cards! It nudges me to consider, in the
hurly burly of life, the vast wellspring of love
and nourishment from which we all arise.
This card is about rare and eternal love - the
kind that makes no demands, places no
expectations, and imposes no conditions. For me
personally, this love flows from the Mother of the
Universe - for you, the name by which you call it
may be different, but the source remains the same.
This inrushing power and force is available to all
of us, if we give it the opportunity to flow into
our lives. It reshapes our perspective,
strengthens our resolve and nurtures us through
even the most demanding of periods. It brings
serenity, exhilaration, passion and contentment
into life, by its simple presence.
So here's a little exercise to open yourself out
and let the love flow in. This works at any time
at all...whenever you try it. And remember this
always....the most important time to try this
exercise is when you feel lost, wounded, sad and
alone.
Sit down and make yourself comfortable. Give your
shoulders a roll around to rid them of tension and
open out your chest area. Now steady your
breathing....make it easy and calm. This will
encourage you to relax just a little more.
When your body feels as comfortable as you can get
it to, concentrate your attention on the area
right in the middle of your chest. Breathe in,
keeping your attention on that centre spot. Then
as you breathe out, imagine that you see a flower
opening its petals, right there, in that spot.
Draw in breath again, and allow it to flow into
the unfurling flower. If you want to, as you
breathe in you can repeat the affirmation....
Please try this little exercise...even if you are
sceptical! I can guarantee you the results will
startle you!!!
Affirmation: The Universe welcomes and embraces
me.
