Three of Cups

This card is so simple that a glimpse at its artwork usually tells you everything you need to know; an unprecedented bounty of fulfillment, gratitude and joy. Some decks have entitled this card "Abundance," which seems to connect the card to the Autumn harvest and the celebratory spirit that accompanies it.

This feeling of warmth and plenty is what the organization Bitone tries to instill in Ugandan children who have suffered the loss of their parents or their homes due to the myriad life-threatening issues that families face in that nation. According to their site, Bitone means "talent," which is fitting since one of their strategies is to help children and youth "heal their lives by teaching them traditional African performing arts; music, dance, folklore and theater."

Click here to listen to the children of Bitone sing "All Is Full of Love," a song by Björk (the original version has become famous for its music video, in which two robots bond emotionally despite their sterile surroundings). Their photos and songs will give you some inkling of how vital and gratifying this experience is for the displaced children of Uganda. Hopefully this card will ease you into an appreciative and joyful season of your own. [Via]
