A hooded figure stands on the riverbank, his attention fixed to the activity out in the water - an otter chases a salmon.
The otter is actually the goddess Cerridwen as she chases after the thieving Gwion - a mythological thread that weaves its way right through the Druidcraft deck.
In the grass we see three cups, their contents spilled and lost, but behind the figure, on a stone decorated with cup and ring markings, two cups remain upright. Are you like Cerridwen - angry that something has been taken from you?
Where is your focus?
The 5 of Cups ask you to consider whether you are spending too much time looking at 'activity on the water' and not enough on your own affairs?
If you can turn your attention to the situation that you do not wish to face, you might find that things are not as hopeless as you might think.... where are your two upright cups?
The challenge, from the 5 of Cups, is for you to find them?
