Six of Grails
Upright: Revisiting the past, childhood memories, innocence, joy
Reversed: Living in the past, forgiveness, lacking playfulness
Six of Grails is a card of innocence, childhood nostalgia, naive happiness, and reunion. You want to return to the happy memories of your past, whether as a child, teenager, or adult. Oftentimes though, these memories are of the past and reflect aspects of your life that have since vanished. You may feel the only way to connect to this happiness is to escape into the past where you can reflect on your happy and beautiful memories, but it is important you live in the present and accept your current circumstances rather than always living in the past. Six of Grails can represent a return to a familiar environment or to a childhood place: a teenage sweetheart or past lover may turn up again. Six of Grails radiates an aura of joy because it represents the past and with it some of your happiest memories.
The image for Six of Grails is of the "Abuela" which is Spanish for Grandmother. She is remembering a long ago love from her youth. The Dia de los Muertos celebration is all about remembering and honoring the people we love. Perhaps even her wedding day? Maybe longing for her own death/release in which she will be reunited with her love/husband who is already gone to the world beyond? Dia de los Muertos imagery includes skull-shaped grails and her Mexican embroidered dress. Marigolds are tucked into her bouquet and the Spanish tiles on the mirror that reflects her cherished memories.
The image of Pisces here is two fish joined together forever by an eternal bond, representing the bond between the two characters in the illustration. Pisces are the mutable water sign of the zodiac. They represent emotion, intuition, imagination, escapism, romance, and impressionism.
