Four of Cups

Refusal of what is offered.

In a written tarot medium sitting, Four of Cups is not a costume and not a verdict. It is a sentence in a sequence. Mama Maria reads it against your question, then writes. Mediumship, if it arrives, rides under the spread — it does not replace this card.

One of fourteen cups. See the cups.

Upright

Apathy as a shield. The cup in front of you is real. So is your right to wait. Name which one you are doing.

Reversed

A sudden yes after numbness, or a deeper withdrawal.

Love

Someone offering; you looking at the ground. Discernment, or depression in a nice room.

Work

A role you have outgrown, or an offer you will not even read.

Spirit

Dissatisfaction as a teacher. Do not aestheticize it.

An honest question

What am I declining, and is it wisdom or a closed fist?

These notes are a dictionary, not a sitting. If this card is in your life, place one honest question with Mama Maria. For the method, read what a tarot medium reading actually is. For the job, read what a tarot medium is.
