Eight of Cups
The Fool journeys to the Eight of Cups, and he feels that a piece of the emotional jigsaw puzzle he finds himself in is missing. He wishes to set out, with no idea of where he will end up or what he will find, into the unknown. He knows, intuitively and instinctually, that more is needed to make him happy. In a rut, he steps out of his comfort zone, with faith that he can find his missing piece, even if he is confused, as he wishes to avoid stagnation.
What we may have invested in, cared for, and what has brought rich emotional rewards, and can still do so, leaves us with an inner calling to find more to complete the picture and avoid stagnation.
Right now, a change is needed, either in perspective connected to what you have, or something completely new that enhances what we have, or even a new start.
We often feel this card as an urge to do something, have more, or do more, feeling prompted to make changes, yet we often have no idea what those changes will bring. We have an itch to scratch; something has been outgrown, and we may know exactly what would make things better; we may have an inkling or not a goddam clue.
Change your routine, change your perspective, and change your situations. You do not have to leave a situation to improve it, yet that can be on the cards. Listen to your disappointment and dissatisfaction, be brave, and act.
Microchanges or big ones, follow your intuition and your heart, find what is missing, and rewrite your goals.

I recently did a reading with Pam and was very happy with her insight. She was very accurate and was able to help bring clarity and minimize doubts about some recent changes in my life. I would absolutely book another reading and look forward to reading with her again.

Some days ago I bought Pam Richards book and I started reading it. I've not finished it yet, but already I sincerely recommend it, as I'm finding in it a lot of answers, advices, tips, explanations related to a lot of important aspects that frequently are issues for newbies as I am: the meanings of the cards are very well explained, but overall I'm finding information about the spreads, the ways of shuffling, the way to start and prepare for a reading, (a wonderful tip to facilitate readings for ourselves), superstitions and much, much more.
I particularly appreciate the "not spiritual" and well grounded approach to the subject (not that it's denied, or refused, but simply it is correctly left to own personal beliefs).
A wonderful work, really worth!

Hi Pam. Many thanks for this. It really resonates with me. Blessings, Cath x

My book arrived this week. Yes!
The Universal Waite Tarot deck shows Pamela Coleman Smith’s artwork recoloured by Mary Hanson Roberts. The line-art is clean with non-blurry lines and beautifully coloured, of course.
I am house-sitting for my son for two weeks so decided to also buy the ebook from Amazon Kindle. I’ll leave the hardcopy at home so it doesn’t weigh-down my suitcase. It’s a 427 page book, so very thick!
I’ve only read the introduction and The Fool so far. What I like so far, is the way the Fool’s meaning is described in detail, referring to colour, symbols, and zodiac and astrological associations. All important details for me to remember and learn. There is a lot to learn, to enjoy and to gradually remember. I say gradually, as it’s not about memorising but savouring the details. This is not a book with keywords, although there is a “In a nutshell” summation at the end of each long description for the card. The long description (often three pages in length) is followed by two shorter ones (less than one page long) for upright and reversed meanings. In these shorter sections, keywords are in bold-type. It’s far easier to remember them when they’re given in a story-like context rather than as a separate list to memorise.
I can see myself using this book as my primary resource for years!
This began as sharing a photo and ended up as a short review for those who have not yet bought Pam’s book.
My advice is to not hesitate.
