Card Meaning

Two Shadows in the Cold speaks of the winter of material want, the warmth of relying on one another, and a hope that cannot yet be seen. It is the moment of hitting rock bottom — materially, physically or spiritually. But the winters of life are real; they deserve to be acknowledged, and they deserve to be mourned. You are not asked to pretend the sun is shining, only to keep walking through the cold.

Even in the coldest winter, the light has been there all along. What you need most is simply to lift your head.
