II of Cups Spell
Mirror, mirror in the hall
Do you tell the truth?
Do you know all?
Am I going to rise
or shall I fall?
I feel so alone.
A scream without a megaphone.
Are you alone?
A ghost without a moan.
I see you.
A hoodoo without any voodoo.
Do you see me, too?
A family secret without taboo?
A bomb without a boom.
A door without a room.
Let's just see this through.
Am I see-through?
Whatever I am, you are not.
Whatever I do, you don't.
Whatever I will, you won't.
The pieces I'm missing are the ones you've got.
Where I've already searched, you haven't sought.
Shadow and light,
day and night,
sunset and sunrise,
our opposites materialize
into an attraction,
a connection,
a deep affection.
We're a complexion
based on a chemical reaction.
Emotions ringing,
a new beginning,
that feels like a timeless
story spinning.
Endless.
Twinning...
Spinning...
together and around,
endlessly bound,
finally found.
But, I've just met you!
I could never forget you.
I've never felt this ever...
and I've known you, forever.
Each life we live
each gift we give
of ourselves to each other;
we have to receive
again and again,
another and another.
Best friend or lover?
Sister or brother,
father or mother,
cousins or colleagues,
friends or enemies?
This relationship flows.
It grows.
And we both just…know.
We’ve found each other,
over and over.
Endless, boundless,
timeless, groundless.
We've found this!
Self-love brings soul mates,
shadow sisters,
Ms., Mrs. and Misters.
He, They, Them
She, Her, Him.
All that glitters
has a glister.
We're mountains unmoving in a twister.
Two of cups,
tipped up,
sipped up.
Filling, thrilling, just chilling...
bringing parts apart back together again.
A bond unlike all I’ve known…
into each other’s hearts we’ve grown.
Roots into trees.
Moss onto stone.
Blood into bone.
Dust into breeze.
We're not alone.
We’ve found each other,
over and over.
Endless, boundless,
timeless, groundless.
We’ve found this!
HEALTHY PARTNERSHIP, BEST FRIENDS FOREVER, GIFT OF DEEP CONNECTION
Twos in tarot can represent partnerships and putting things in harmony. Every once in a lifetime you meet another soul who just gets you. They’re just like you but completely different, like a mirror image. You don’t have to sit around explaining yourself. The ebbing and glowing between you both is easy and safe. It’s almost like you’ve met before in another dimension. You might be in business or romance together. It could be your own child. Or even a familiar. It doesn’t really matter what type of connection it is. It’s the depth and security that matters. They make you feel less alone and scared in this world. You change each other for the better and bring out the brightest versions of each other. You can’t imagine how you lived without them in your life. Forever friend.
Eight’s Insight: This could be the relationship that you missed out on as a child-a deep, reciprocal, unconditional love that goes beyond words and blood-bonds. You might be afraid to trust this because your relational trauma makes it hard, but go for it! Let yourself feel this bond because it might be your only chance. This could also speak to healing your inner ghost that’s been reaching out to you. Listen to the love you have for yourself. Take a chance on yourself so that sometime soon you’ll invest that love and time into another when you’re ready. Alternatively, perhaps you find yourself choosing the same personality archetypes again to replay your trauma because you haven’t resolved old issues. Go back and make the negative memories into what you wish would have happened and heal those parts of you. When you grew up with toxic relationships, especially a narcissistic mother or father, it can make close relationships with others seem impossible because you were codependent on each other, which is unhealthy. You don’t need fixing! And, you don’t need to find someone else to fix. The right relationship will find you, when you’re in a healthy mindset. Things should be balanced and in a relationship with both parties wanting to receive and give equally. Don’t go chasing someone that doesn’t deserve you and don’t let someone else chase after you. Be kind and patient and you will find that energy as well. You’re worthy of love and acceptance.
