what does this combination mean to you?     I read it as moving to more innnocent times?    I ask because I got a very vivid dream (I am getting a lot of dreams recently about a certain situation).   I just chose two cards to clarify what else I should know about this dream.
I used the rider deck no reversals.
Thanks.

Hi there,

To interprit, a combination of two cards only, is not necessarily a clear messege, unless you decided what each "house" describe, or whether one question, needs an answer. As what is the case here?

I will get them, but also all other sixes out.

All sixes are ruled by the Lovers, in which there are symbolism as well, which can give a better understanding of what you need to know.

By the way, What was your question?

Blessed be

Hi thanks for answering, I had a dream.    And I asked the cards what I should know about the dream.    So I picked only two cards.
Six of Swords and Six of Cups.
Do you need to know what I dreamed of exactly?

When I thought about this dream early in the morning I pulled two cards to give me a message on what the dreams means.    For me, cookbook interpretations never make sense to me, I always feel my dreams are deeper than that.

Ah, a cookbook is indeed not the tasty food itself, but it can help people starting with cooking to create great dishes.

The six of swords talks about the subdued emotion of moving on from a painful past... not everything is resolved, but most of it is, enough to accept and start the moving on process. The six of cups stands for pleasant memories, but also dwelling too much on the past and idealising it.

I'd say your dream then was about the realization that it's time to move on, instead of dwelling on the past.

Hi,

I didn't get to formulate a definite reply, but let me do a "quicky"

In the Hebrew Aleph-Beth, Six is assigned VAV. In this sense, we find VAV as the diagonal line in the letter Aleph, asssigned to the Magician. Now this is technical mumbo-jumbo, but be assured there is a meaning to the two sixes, presenting themselves.

Sweetsunrae gave you a good explanation, I'll do the hieroglyphs. The only other letter where VAV has a profoud influence is in the Magician. Aleph, the hebrew letter assigned to the Magician, consist of YOD-VAV-YOD, so 10+6+10=26. This is the 26 letter name of God, called the Tetragramaton.

In this sense then, when we now reduce this number, we find 26---or 2+6=8, which is the Strength card. Strength is in the second group of seven cards in the Major Arcanum. In this second set we find the 3 virtues. 8-Strength, 11-Justice and then Temperance, other faiths also include Prudence as a virtue.

Now, what is the significance of 6--VAV, this is the day, God created man! Six is also "balance"---don't confuse with the Two's, which mainly adress dualities.

Now. we need to look at the Yods.These are counted as Ten, reduce them to undr Ten, we find they become One, The number assigned to the Magician. We now have 2  ones and one six. 2+6=8, back to Strength.

In the normal spiritual teachings, Strength, is in fact what you and how dedicated you are to your God, and how your God can assist you, to create the reality you hope to acheive, from your faith in God.

Blessed be
