BTW 81: Knight of Cups – Finding Your Holy Grail (Part 1)

Between the Worlds Podcast

The Knight of Cups is guided by visions. They’re spiritual, on a quest for meaning and purpose. This person is an artist, a poet, they’ve been wounded, they’ve become wise, they’re pursuing their dreams. If you get this card in a reading, it’s an invitation to get curious about your inner world and and the inner world of others. In this, the first of two Amanda solo episodes on "The Grail Knight", we discuss the basic meaning of the knight, correspondences, pop culture references, and all the reasons why you don't want to date this Knight if they come up in reverse. Join us!

Enroll in our new workshop: QUEEN OF CUPS, SONG OF THE SIREN: Chants, Prayers, and Invocations.
