Six of Cups is a Minor Arcana tarot card.

Tarot cards are used throughout much of Europe to play Tarot card games[1].

In English-speaking countries, where the games are largely unknown, Tarot cards came to be utilized primarily for divinatory purposes[1][2].

[edit] Divination Usage

The six of cups in the esoteric use of the card stands for innocence and nostalgia. A time to look back to a simpler way of thinking. Unquestionable love is a more modern interpretation.
