Five of Cups
The Five of Cups represents a moment of numbness and disconnection, where one's ability to feel has been temporarily lost. Though the fire of passion or hope may have been extinguished, there remains an enduring memory of beauty and what once was. This card speaks to the experience of loss or disappointment, yet suggests that even in darkness, the soul retains its capacity to remember and eventually heal. It reminds us that numbness is often a protective response, and that the raven of memory keeps alive what cannot be destroyed.

Visual Description
A fierce-looking woman with long, wavy hair reclines on a pale surface, her body wrapped in torn, gauzy white fabric. She wears a leather glove fitted with long metal claws on one hand and gazes directly at the viewer with intense eyes. A large black raven stands behind her to the right, its dark feathers contrasting with the misty, textured background. The card border shows the numeral 5 and the suit name in multiple languages (Chalices/Copas and Coppe/Coupes).
