Description 4 of Cups
Upright - Time to re-evaluate an all too familiar environment, dissatisfaction and boredom.  The need to search for a more stimulating way of life.  Apathy, dwelling on past experience.  Love that turns to familiarity.  Happiness that has reached its peak.  Possibly the establishment of a family.
Reversed - All kinds of excess, ill health or fatigue as a result of over indulgence.  The overturning of a way of life.  Rapid change resulting in new anxieties.  Excitement for its own sake that brings little or fleeting pleasure.  A low boredom threshold.

The atmosphere in this is familiar as well, and even more so the meaning.
I get the same sensation as this picture evokes when I look in old mirrors. Lingering expectation, solemnity and a haunting presence.

I wonder if it was on purpose that you made the reflection seem more solid than the figure before it, which is transparent? It's an interesting detail. Also, the smoke rising from the goblet seems to take the shape of a deer, but that should be my imagination

the figure looks transparent to you?? how odd. I can't see a deer either
Initially i wanted just a hand extending out from the mirror but it didn't look right.
thanks for the insightful comment!

Yes, I can see details of the mirror, wall and floor through it. (Just in case, no, I'm not high )

Now that you mention hands... I've had this idea for several years, of a photo of a hand stretching out to a shadow of a hand, all against the background of a wall. It had a strong meaning to me - connection to an otherworldly being, and/or someone long gone. Since I will hardly ever get round to using the idea, you can use it if you like, probably even for a card, such as The Lovers, The Devil, or Death.

it's weird... i wonder if anyone else can see it that way? there was no intent to make the figure (myself) look transparent O.o 
maybe some people see me as half invisible, haha

thanks for the idea... hands, and in general models, are my weak point.

Did you take that picture at midnight by any chance? If yes, we are about to learn a new fact or two about you (Just kidding)

From my point of view I'd never say, they look as seamless as the backgrounds

As far as I know, it is said you can see someone else there than yourself. Though I think the reason may differ in various places. Also, looking into a mirror at midnight is a part of some divination practices, such as the traditional Russian bathhouse ritual of seeing future husbands.

i think i remember this now... one of the first 'superstitions' i heard about as a kid... i wouldn't look into mirrors at night, lol.  I think it might have also been about seeing your true self.
you ever tried it?

Roger-The-Elfin-Soul In reply to wyldraven [2015-06-27 07:49:05 +0000 UTC]

Tried looking into it at night? Of course, nearly every day. I turn in late, so I happen to pass the mirrors on the walls many times just as I walk from room to room. When I realise it's midnight, I feel tempted to gaze into it, even, as if testing my courage. I'm surprised I never see anything strange there, as I've seen much stuff, especially here in my old house... But I'm certainly relieved as well, lol.
Besides that, I generally have an odd temptation to stare into mirrors. Not because I like my face - I hate it, lol, - it's the mirror itself that draws me in, not what it reflects. Though I can also be trying to see my true self, yes, but I only manage to get a glimpse. It's a saddening experience.
But the weirdest thing is, I always end up breaking them. It's not typical of me, I don't break other things, but mirrors just don't survive around me.
