Not Pure, But Helpful Nonetheless

From the World Spirit Tarot, the Six of Cups; from the Mystic Glyphs, Purity:

Any gathering of friends or family will likely include a "Do you remember" conversation. It turns out there's a good reason investigators want to get a witness statement as soon as possible: Researcher Donna Bridge explains, "Memories aren’t static. If you remember something in the context of a new environment and time, or if you are even in a different mood, your memories might integrate the new information." Every time we remember an event, the memory gets reshaped. Like the circle with the lines running through it, the Purity card indicates that nothing is really pure and whole - especially our memories. But there is a good reason for these adaptations. As psychologist Jeff Zachs clarifies, "Memory isn’t for trying to remember, it’s for doing better the next time." In other words, it's more concerned about what is happening in our life now.
