From the Animal Totem Tarot, the Knight of Cups/Blue-footed Booby; from the Blum/Gern Rune Cards, Mannaz:
This Knight believes that the best, most exciting quest is one of the heart. Like the blue-footed booby who makes spectacular dives from the air into the sea for fish, he's willing to dive deeply into relationships and be vulnerable. But like this seabird's name (booby - because it is tame around humans), the Knight of Cups can also be naive. No two hearts and minds are going to fuse together and permanently become one. Mannaz, or humankind, refers to the intelligence, awareness and rational mind that each person has been given. Relationships expose and express both the strengths and weaknesses. Can this Knight maintain his love when they disagree or see from different perspectives? Can he allow the other to be an individual rather than a subset of himself? This is the true quest, the fulfilling maturity of love.
