More
than one Tarotist has commented on the unusual interpretation of the
Five of Vessels (or Cups as they would be in a traditional tarot)
which diverges from the general interpretation of this card in
classic tarot.
In fact, the reason for this springs from a desire to
follow the journey of the Wanderer (The Fool) through the entire
deck, and to acknowledge the experiences that he/she (our Wildwood Fool is
non-gender specific) encounters along the way. If we explore the
‘story’ underlying the suit of Vessels we see how this works.
