| The King of Cups is one of the cards of the Minor
Arcana, however I have classified it as a Royal because it, like all other Kings, it represents the adult masculine
nature of this particular suit. This, like all other kings, represents the Patriarchal or adult self.
Depicted on this card is a king with a sceptre in his left hand and a large cup in his right. His throne
rests upon the sea; a ship is seen at one side and a dolphin rises at the other.(Note that water, the symbol
for the subconscious, appears in many of the court cards.) |
