Eight of Cups - Escapism

Two young lovers, hiding under a blanket, escape into the dusk. A clergyman and the Holy Grail, hosting a human skull, suggest elopement or a defiant decision to leave traditional roles behind. Each generation must create new codes to live by.

Meanings: Living in exile. Escapism. Leaving the past behind. Abandoning a situation of disappointment or disillusion. A desire to leave material success for something higher. The quest for the meaning of life.
Reversed: It could warn of escapism in the form of substance addiction or other means of obsessive distraction.
