Dark Grimoire Tarot - Four of Chalices

teomat

This card appears very similar to the RWS version, though the man in this image seems to have an air of despair or regret rather than boredom.

The open window seems to show the same town as seen in The Tower card, though not menaced or in the process of being destroyed. The blank papers on the desk suggests that the man is struggling to express himself. He has something to say, but can't put it down in words.

The image reminds me of The Hanged Man card, almost as if it shows the moments before the man hung himself. Or it could follow on from the previous card, and this is the traveller who has left his refuge for a more difficult path.
