what will your glow up be like?

“Mirror, mirror, on the wall, who’s the fairest of them all?"

pile 1

something shiny, your glow up will be filled with sparkle and it can be literal or metaphorical, you may start to be interested in vibrant colors and use them, you may like to wear shiny accessories, you may adopt a new sparkle in your eyes, something will make you shine, regardless of what it is. you will become a more homely person, you may enjoy your own company more or get along better with people you live with, some here have bad relationships at home and may always want to run away but I see things have improved and you, for example, want to spend a weekend at home, I also see that some here will end a war with themselves, it reminds me of the song "war is over" which makes a lot of sense now at this time that you are seeing this (December, last days until the end of the year). I also heard "my body is my temple". maybe become famous in something for some people.

pile 2

WOW! Your glow up is not necessarily connected to you but to another person, which is very interesting, because this is not a reading about love, but I see you in a deep connection with someone and this relationship brings a rebirth, it is even connected to motherhood (or fatherhood), it is as if you were twin flames or soul mates, which would make sense because if it is a case of a soul mate or twin flame it would be the representation of you merging and generating something very beautiful for both of you. I see you going through all these phases and committing to each other in the end in a very poetically beautiful way like in romance movies… your innocence is also part of your glow up (it calls me to say that)

pile 3

look how beautiful! I see you getting rid of something too, it's like you've put down everything that was bad for you, imagine you living in a ruin, and that's bad for you, you know there won't be any growth there but you continue for your own reasons and emotions but suddenly you wake up one day and put it all down without looking back? It's BEAUTIFUL, it's a new birth, don't worry because after that, everything will be flowers.

´ཀ` What Does Your Shadow Self Wants To Tell You? ´ཀ`

-> Hey everyone! This is a timeless Oracle Reading about what your shadow self wishes for you to know at this moment. I dive into the depth of it so some energy can be negative but necessary for reflection. I hope you enjoy it and remember to take it with a grain of salt.

-> Now, take a moment to breath and choose the pile that calls for you

Pile one Pile Two Pile Three Pile Four

☥🦇 ݁ ˖ִ ࣪ Pile One

"I covet"

-> It looks to me that for most of you, your shadow self Is linked with your intellect and with your inner wisdom, as if it has built itself throughout the years due to survival skills. Your shadow self is currently really relentless for a quest of knowledge and truth can also lead too far into conflict. They want to tell you that sometimes, curiosity hurts more than being dumb to certain things. Be careful with forms of competition, as you are not competing with no one but with your own head. Avoid any forms of violence, even if they are often of a moral nature. Let go of things that are staining you. Jealousy, greed, desire of being better than others isn't a truth path. You are your own self. Own to that.

☥🦇 ݁ ˖ִ ࣪ Pile Two

"I know my limits and benefit from them"

-> I hope that you understand that sometimes, our shadow self isn't here to bring you pain, but to let you know that something is wrong. Your shadow self is tired of having to show you that you are in a moment of total exhaustion and you aren't taking hints no matter what your mind and body try to show you. Currently you are in a period of total uncertainty and because of that you are making irrational decisions leading you down the wrong path. Your shadow self has been screaming at you that you are in an intense fatigue and there's an urgent need for calm and rest. Beware of depression and burn out. Stop taking it lightly and seek help for it.

☥🦇 ݁ ˖ִ ࣪ Pile Three

"I see clearly and deceive you"

-> This energy made my head turn a little, but it's definitely linked with inner toxicity, manipulation but also persistence. Your shadow self doesn't yield much in the way of good deeds to be entirely honest, but it does have some obvious qualities to it that have formed you and made you who you are today: patience and persistence. Currently your shadow self wants to tells you that with perseverance you will get where you want to be. You will succeed in convincing those who are around you and in even in leading them the path that you wish. Just be careful when you use your manipulation skills for your own gains. Ask yourself if that is truly necessary or worth it for the other.

☥🦇 ݁ ˖ִ ࣪ Pile Four

"I create or I succumb"

-> You have such a strong shadow self that is mostly liked with your inner energy but also with destruction and violence, and often you fail to see it in front of you. Currently, your shadow self is trying to tell that you that your impulses can sometimes drive you to commit dangerous and compromising acts. Have you noticed how sometimes your behaviors are totally the opposite of who you are truly? There's so much energy around you, but it's only energy of temptation, drift and depravity. It's important to denote that your shadow self can often bring out of you a character that is totally thoughtless, uncontrollable, bordering on tyranny and can lead to serious tension. Please do not allow yourself to succumb to that.

PICK A PILE ! ROMANTIC READING <3

PICK A PILE / PICK A CARD.

STARTING FROM LEFT TO RIGHT! (Pile 1 & Pile 3 On the left (Top/Bottom) ; Pile 2 & 4 On the Right (Top/Bottom)

LETS GO!

PILE 1 - Recognition & Reward / Intuition

If you picked this pile, you are on your way to a new romantic partnership. This could be your big one. Past decisions have led you to receiving better and your confidence has gotten better over time. So congrats. This handsome/gorgeous person will sweep you off your feet. Crushes in this group are significant so I will say if you have someone you've had your eyes on why don't you tell them how you feel? Again, confidence is key here, and you'll be rewarded for your bold energy. Trust your gut, it'll lead you to the right direction.

PILE 2 - Solar Plexus / Fulfillment Of Wishes

So this group needs to relax and take a chill pill. So your love life has gone through a few rough edges, but that doesn't mean you're the problem. The real reason why love has been a bit pesty, is because you haven't fully accepted yourself in all your glory. You're very special, so it takes a special someone to see it. You aren't for everyone. And nor should you let yourself be.

PILE 3 - Shadow / Awareness

Paying attention to your behavior is key with this group. Not everyone is going to like you, so don't make yourself out to be everything for anybody. You have gifts in sensual abilities. Meaning you can manifest the lover(s) you like with just your charm alone. Not everyone has a romantic aura that shapes the perception of everyone around them. You're a dream come true for many, yet aren't being who you are meant to be. Focus on self-love at this time in order to attract the partner you're aspiring to have. That's the way to make things worth it. You're charm is admirable, but it takes you to see it.

PILE 4 - Accelerated Motion / Firm Foundation

You have to let go of everything you thought you knew about love and more importantly about the love you see in yourself. Everything doesn't have to make sense in the matter of love as love is the highest vibration to connect to. Which isn't based on pure logic alone. Struggle love may have been something you've had in the past or just accepted because you didn't know what was out there. But I am telling you there is more out there, you just have to look and see. For this group, you gotta let go of the old you, and make room for a new one. Change your look, do something different your hair, smile more. Make yourself presentable when out to the public, and dress. your. best. That love you're looking for is around the corner. You just gotta keep yourself looking good and feeling good for you, and yourself ALONE. You're security in self needs to be the focal point in all love relationships moving forward, because in the past the focal point of the relationship was bended do to not fully supporting ones own needs, but for the needs of others.

Direct Vision Spell for an Oracle 𓂀

A 2000 year old Greco-Egyptian magic spell

─── ⋆⋅☆⋅⋆ ──

[PGM V 54 – 69]

So sick of all these fake bs Tumblr and Pinterest spells-

"what color candle means what lol" with zero cultural or historical significance, it's like they just pulled things out of their ass.

So, here is a real 2000 year old Greek and Egyptian syncretic spell from Thebes to receive a direct vision from the beyond....WITH cultural and historical context.

Because, yes, history is important, and anyone giving you "spell tips" without telling you where the fuck they're from or what they mean is bullshitting you.

Ancient Greek oracular spells were rituals and invocations performed to gain insights or predictions from the gods, the Theoi, as well as Daemons and the Dead, particularly through seers known as oracles.

The Spell: PGM V 54 – 69 from the Greek Magical Papyri

Context of the Spell:

This spell is an interesting blend of Egyptian and Greek oracular practice: the use of Coptic or Egyptian eyepaint, kohl, here is interesting– as well as it's mixture with water from a sunken ship. Water from such locations are normally reserved for love spells, as we see previously in the PGM. The relationship or correspondence between a literal sunken vessel and sinking into the throes of passion. However, here, with its use in an oracular spell, it seems to correspond more to the chthonic or otherworldly realm, giving te wearer the ability to see past the normal, mundane world; past the ‘veil’ so to speak and into the beyond.

The use of the magical mystery word or voces magicae “Akrammachamarei” here is also notable; it is quite often seen throughout the PGM, and is associated with the God/Daemon/Archon of both Gnostic (Jewish-Egyptian) as well as Greek origin, Abrasax.

In spell PGM V. 96-172, Abrasax is identified as part of the "true name which has been transmitted to the prophets of Israel" of the "Headless One, (also known as the Egyptian god Bês) who created heaven and earth, who created night and day ... Osoronnophris whom none has ever seen ... awesome and invisible god with an empty spirit"; the name also includes Iaō and Adōnai, the ineffablenames of the Jewish god. "Osoronnophris" represents Egyptian Wsir Wn-nfr, or "Osiris the Perfect Being.” Another identification with Osiris is made in PGM VII. 643-51: "you are not wine, but the guts of Osiris, the guts of ... Ablanathanalba Akrammachamarei Eee, who has been stationed over necessity, Iakoub Ia Iaō Sabaōth Adōnai Abrasax."

Instructions:

─── ⋆⋅☆⋅⋆ ──

After you have purified yourself (through ritual bathing and declarations) you must put on your clean linen robes and sandals of Papyrus.

Then, taking a purified bronze censer, place the laurel leaves inside and light them until the smoke fills the room. Walk clockwise around the room, and your workspace, Chanting the Ephesia Grammata:

ΑΣΚΙ(ΟΝ) ΚΑΤΑΣΚΙ(ΟΝ) ΛΙΞ ΤΕΤΡΑΞ ΔΑΜΝΑΜΕΝΕΥΣ ΑΙΣΙΟΝ (or ΑΙΣΙΑ)

“askion kataskion lix tetrax damnameneus aision”

Then, taking the olive oil, pour it into the waiting bronze dish.

With your right hand, anoint your right eye with the prepared water from a shipwreck.

With your left hand, mix 1 part kohl with 1 part water until it is a viscous paint, from the same dish, and anoint your left eye so that it is completely surrounded by the paint.

Then, pronounce the incantations:

"EEIM TO EIM ALALĒP BARBARIATH / MENEBREIO ARBATHIAÔTH IOUĒL IAĒL OUĒNĒIIE MESOMMIAS,

let the god who prophesics to me come and let him not go away until I dismiss him,

OURNAOUR SOUL ZASOUL / OUGOT NOOUMBIAOU THABRAT BERIAOU ACHTHIRI MARAI ELPHEŌN TABAŌTH KIRASINA LAMPSOURĒ IABOE ABLAMATHANALBA AKRAMMACHAMAREI.”

Once the incantations are finished, present any offerings and ask over the prepared olive oil dish what your question(s) are. Stare into the oil, lit only by candle or oil lamp light, and you will receive a direct vision.

Seers in Ancient Greece

[long post under the cut]

Foreword This post primarily focuses on the responsibilities of being a Seer in ancient Greece. It discusses at length and refers to oracles as strictly divine announcements from the Gods and the location where divine messages are received. Some people may not agree with my definitions. I would be remiss if I didn't acknowledge the modern association with oracles as a role someone could be; however, I find this to be more of a modern association than something rooted in historical sources. That's not to say that people cannot call themselves Oracles, but it is just not the focus of this post.

Understanding the Oracle

When you think of an Oracle, you may immediately think of the oracle of Delphi; however, the Pythia—Priestess of Apollo most associated with oracles—would not have been called an oracle by locals.

The etymology of oracle comes from the Latin verb, ōrāre ("to speak"), and the Latin word ōrāclum ("divine announcement").

You couldn't be an Oracle; instead, "oracle" referred to the oracular center (such as the oracle of Delphi) and divine messages from the Gods themselves.

In ancient Greece, these divine utterances were called the chresmos¹, and those who interpreted these were called Chresmologoi, a type of Manteis or Seers.

The Pythia were Priestesses of Apollo (an official job) who delivered oracles (divine announcements) in an oracular center (the temple where they received the divine announcements)—this made them Manteis (the ones who interpret omens).

ʚଓ ⁄ Oracular Center & Deities

Seer, for the sake of brevity, is an umbrella term for those who interpret omens.

Seers did not necessarily have to be Priests or Priestesses devoted to a deity, and not all Temples were oracular centers with a Seer stationed there.

In antiquity, only a handful of deities bestowed divine announcements.

Apollo was the most predominant oracular deity. However, Zeus, Demeter (only concerning sick individuals), Hermes, and certain deified heroes (Amphilochus, Trophonius, Heracles, etc.)² also had oracular centers associated with them.

Some of them, such as the oracle of Hermes in the Marketplace of Pharae, did not require consulting a Seer.

Instead, you approached a statue of Hermes, gave offerings, and whispered the question into the ear of the statue. Then you'd cover your ears until you left the marketplace, and then the first thing you heard was the oracle.

Consulting a Seer was often a privilege afforded to the wealthy and influential. The Oracle of Delphi, the most popular oracle, was closed for the winter months, and oracles were delivered only on the Seventh. Not to mention that at Delphi, the most influential had a special privilege called promanteia, which allowed them to skip the line³. Even if you wanted to consult a Seer, you often had to plan in advance and prepare well.

You were never guaranteed an audience, and as such, many people of the time sought to receive oracles without a Seer.

Receiving Oracles Alone

As a reminder, oracles refer to the divine announcement and/or the location where the message was received. Seers interpret the oracles from the Gods and deliver them to the querent.

Consulting a Seer was not possible for everyone; however, divination was still a large part of ancient Greek culture⁴—from planning events to waging wars, every major decision was discussed with the Gods.

Remember that a Seer interprets the omens from the divine; anyone could do it. There are literally hundreds of methods to do divination⁵, and the ancient Greeks knew that.

The most common (and perhaps the oldest) method was to observe the behaviors of birds as omens.

At the Oracle of Hermes in the Marketplace in Pharae, querents ask a question to a statue of Hermes and then hear the oracle in the words of those around them as they leave.

At the Oracle of Heracles at Bura, querents would roll dice in front of a statue of Heracles, and the position of the dice constituted the oracle.

Interpreting dreams was another common method of interpreting omens from the Gods⁶. In fact, as early as AD 180 and 210 (at the height of Classic Antiquity), Artemidoros wrote a five-book manual called Oneirocritica ("The Interpretation of Dreams") that detailed how to analyze dreams. By this point, many other books detailed dream interpretation; however, Artemidoros' was regarded as the best of the time.

"Various sortition methods involving dice, numbers, and knuckle bones existed, employed for knowledge of the future not only in formalised oracular settings but also in public places, which provided consultants with a set number of possible replies which they could use to apply to [...] their personal circumstances. ...[O]ther methods were also believed to provide divine guidance, from the surface of water to that of mirrors⁶."

So, Why Do Seers Matter?

We've already established that consulting with a Seer was a privilege afforded to the wealthy and influential and that oracles could be received without them (either by going to an oracular center or interpreting the omens themselves). So, we must now ask ourselves why people sought out Seers to begin with.

"The importance of the hiereus was largely determined by the prestige of the divinity and cult he served; by contrast, the authority of the mantis depended entirely on the 'reliability of his prophecies.' [...] While both perform animal sacrifice, only a mantis possesses the ritual know-how that allows him to interpret the divine will from, among other things, the appearance and behavior of the inner organs of the sacrificial animal.⁷”

Similar to the role of the Hiereiai—the ancient Greek Priest—being a Seer (Mantis) was a job someone had. The polis (city-state) often employed Seers and worked as civil workers.

One of the most common responsibilities of the Seer was to work alongside the Hiereiai and ensure that the Gods were satisfied with the sacrifices and offerings given, specifically during festivals. Seers frequently dealt with animal sacrifices and used the entrails to interpret omens.

It's important to note that not all Seers were bound to specific temples or sanctuaries.

"Priests were attached to particular sanctuaries; seers practiced their craft wherever their skills were needed—in different cities or demes, in public or in private, on the road, at sea, or on the battlefield.⁷"

"Recurrent in both epic and tragedy is the lesson that rulers and military commanders must heed prophetic specialists, even if those in authority find the manteis’ advice unpalatable, as failure to follow the predictions inevitably leads to disaster. As Chilon, the Spartan ephor and one of Greece's ‘Seven Wise Men’ warned: Do not have hatred for divination.⁸"

Seers were much more accessible than the Hiereiai. Seers could be hired and traveled far distances alongside military generals, businessmen, etc.

For those who lived too far from an oracle, they were their primary source for divination. While people could interpret omens themselves, Seers were sought after due to their wisdom.

As mentioned earlier, there are hundreds of different methods of divination, and Seers were considered experts with their specialties. Many were virtually indistinguishable from the Hiereiai⁷.

They could give sacrifices just before battle to appease the Gods (sphagia) and were seen as an invaluable wealth of knowledge on the battlefield. They could prophesize whether a battle would be a success just before the fight. They were often highly regarded, and their advice was generally heeded⁸. The status of a Seer depended on their accuracy⁷, and untrue prophecies reflected negatively on the Seer.

ʚଓ ⁄ Traveling Seers vs. Stationed Seer

Functionally, there was no difference between a Seer that traveled and one that stayed in a specific temple—both, one way or another, received omens from the Divine and interpreted those omens to those who needed to hear it.

Seers stationed at a specific oracular temple were more similar to the Hiereiai.

They most likely came from esteemed families (clans) with a lineage of Seers⁹, as it was thought the "mantic ability" was hereditary. That said, the most important metric to become a Seer was skill. It was not unheard of for “peasant” children with no background to become Seers.

Mantic abilities played a significant role in the prestige of being a mantis.

"Divination was known as manteia: [...] an oracular centre was a manteion, as was an oracular pronouncement [....]. Manteia and mantis are etymologically related to mania (inspired frenzy or madness), as with manteuomai, to divine...¹"

"...[M]ania refers to a range of multifarious conditions, which cannot be concisely described by the words ‘madness’ or ‘frenzy’ used in modern English translation. In Greek, mania also implies divine inspiration or revelation. Any deviation from an ordinary baseline state of consciousness, whether achieved voluntarily or involuntarily [...] could be dubbed mania.¹⁰"

ʚଓ ⁄ Theia Mania (Divine Madness)

Divine Mania is a complex topic, yet it is part of why Seers were so unique. Divine Mania (or Divine Madness) was believed to be the connection between a Seer and the Divine—the source of a Seer's mantic (manic/divination) abilities.

In the presence of the Divine, a Seer would become "divinely inspired" (enthusiastic/enthousiasmos)¹¹ or frenzied.

Plato defined four types of Mania:

Prophetic (foreseeing the future),

Ritual/Telestic (ritualistic release),

Poetic (artistic inspiration), and

Erotic (intense emotions/passion).

This mania—a deviation from the Seer’s ordinary—proved that they were communicating with the Divine.

As noted by Plato and Cicero¹¹, Divine Mania could only be achieved during states of altered consciousness—sleep was a common one; however, being under the influence of drugs (ex. the Pythia) or experiencing illness and delirium were also acceptable altered states.

Messages from the divinely inspired were considered superior¹¹ to those that weren't. However, that does not mean Seers constantly tried to alter their consciousness to have "superior" interpretations.

Divine Mania could be achieved by letting a God "seize" one's body in a practice similar to channeling. It took many forms, from inviting the Gods into one's space during a ritual to feeling a sudden, compulsive need to create, to being overwhelmed with emotions, to experiencing symbolic dreams or visions. This was called mantikê atechnos, a divine gift or gift of divination¹¹.

It is important to note here that Divine Mania occurs when a Seer is inspired by a Divine being and/or is in an altered state of consciousness and behaves differently than their baseline. Being in a state of Divine Mania does not necessarily mean you act outside of societal norms; however, it definitely can. If you are naturally and consistently excitable, then being divinely inspired may slow you down and dull some of that excitability. Divine Mania will not look the same in every Seer.

ʚଓ ⁄ Indirect Divination (Art of Divination)

While Divine Mania was considered a superior way of connecting with the Gods, we have to acknowledge that not every Seer could or did use this method.

As mentioned earlier, there were hundreds of different divination techniques, and Seers were experts with specialized skill sets. They had different titles that suited their skill sets.

I won't discuss every technique here. However, this wouldn't be complete without mentioning some of the more common titles people had.

Manetis (s. Mantis) interpreted omens (birds, natural phenomena).

Chresmologoi maintained a collection of previous oracles and selected an oracle to recite based on the situation.

Theiasantes used tools of divination (ex. dice) to make prophecies.

The Oneiropoloi used dreams to forecast prophecies.

Bringing it all Together

It's time to review everything we discussed. For starters, you could not be an Oracle in antiquity—it was something a Seer gave or a place you went.

Being an oracle was not a job you could get appointed; however, being a Seer was. Seer, just as a reminder, is an umbrella term for those who interpret divine announcements ("oracles") from the Gods. They are typically bound to work at a specific temple or sanctuary like the Hierari do, often traveling around and delivering oracles as required. In a time where divination was everything, Seers gave the layman a way to connect with the divine.

Seers were sought after due to their mantic (manic/divination) abilities, which allowed some of them to experience Divine Mania or an altered state of consciousness. This was an impressive feat at the time, as Divine Mania was associated with being in the direct presence of the Gods; however, it's important to note that not all Seers experienced this.

The gift of divination comes in many shapes and forms for many Seers, yet the importance of this role cannot be understated. Seers served as civil servants for their communities and bridged the gap between the mundane and the Divine for many.

ADVICE FOR MERCURY RETROGRADE 📢📢

Hey folks!!

I hope everyone is okay, hope being the keyword. I felt like everyone around me is in a crisis and decided to do a mercury retrograde reading, because we need to make it make sense!!

I still have a lot of asks left to do, but this felt important so here I am!!

Okay with out further ado, pick a pile from 1>>2>>3

For all three piles, the moon cards are Full Moon cards, which basically means energy is peaking. And at times, when energy peaks, your mind and body does not understand how to cope with it and hence, it comes out as frustration and anger. So just know, its not you, its just the energies and it's gonna be okay very very soon!!!

Pile 1

Your Dreams Need a Practical Plan (Full Moon In Taurus)

Your tarot cards are so much in sync with the oracle card, I honestly love when it happens.

Anywho, you have a goal in your mind, but you don't have a proper plan of achieving it.

You know, you fantasize about your goal, that you've achieved it, how amazing it feels and everything. Which is great and it literally feeds energy into your manifestations as well!

However, you got to atleast make a very starting, list of baby steps you will take in order to achieve those goals.

Currently, through the tarot cards, its clear that if you pursue your goals you'll end up as the King of pentacles, at the highest level of abundance. But, with the reversed 10 of pentacles, you aren't working with a well defined plan. The retrograde might be trying to pull your focus towards this, and with the full moon energy of the card, you would feel frustrated with as well. but take a breath, you know what you have to do. Start moving towards it and hopefully mercury will start being a little gentle with you!🫂

Pile 2

Its time to release negativity (Full moon in Scorpio)

You are good enough (Full moon in Virgo)

Cards are telling you to look at the bigger picture, you've got the world in your hands with the two of wands. Appreciate all that you have and look forward to the future with a lot of love. Also, be mindful of where you are putting your energy and from where you are receiving it as well. If there's anything which is not serving you, learn to let go of that and be intentional with it. The full moon is in Scorpio, which is a water sign, so you can try washing away the negative energies through water baths/shower, or whatever works for you.

The retrograde might also be pushing you to see how good and amazing you are. Its telling you to celebrate yourself more and love yourself more. You may have difficulty seeing that during this time, or whatever is happening in your life is exactly opposite to what the cards are saying, but that is just for you to realise how wrong all of it is, and reinforce your faith in your own self, and being confident with what you are and what you are becoming.

I'll give a little example of what happened with me recently, in my university. Basically my morale and motivation took a hit because of some seniors saying that my whole batch of '26 is not performing upto the mark. Which, personally, I know I am lacking over all, but whatever I am doing is my best. After stewing in that feeling for a day, I went to my club/committee seniors and they told me how well I was working and… everything was bright again.

So.. yeah, it sucks, but this is your sign to fuck the negativities out of your life, and focus on the better things, and make yourself a priority!!!💌

Pile 3

Show the world the Real you (Full moon in Aquarius)

I think you have been conforming, or living according certain rules in your life, which you dont necessarily enjoy or resonate with. It might be easier to just follow the traditions and the rules, rather than being yourself and acting against it, while having to defend yourself for embodying your true self.

Fortunately, or unfortunately, this retrograde will be hella pushing you towards breaking out of these norms, and finally emerging into the world as the real you. You might be feeling fueled up with a lot of inspiration and a lot of energy, because retrograde and the full moon energy of this card.

These might be huge transformations, changing your appearance, your hair colour, getting a new piercing. Or even mental changes, you might create new boundaries, or let go of old ones, revise new ones etc etc. You might even start questioning out loud about the norms and the regulations you used to follow. This would give you a good reality check of your likes and dislikes, and then you can start your transformational journey from there!!💓

Okay! This is all I have for you today <3.

I have tried my level best to give a proper reading, but it might get a little incoherent at some places (I am burnt out from uni assignments).

I hope this helps and you feel better during the rest of the retrograde🥺🫂

How can you be successful?

pile 1

When you stop being a person who lets themselves be dominated by pettiness and destructive and negative thoughts about other people and yourself, some here have a strong connection to depressing themselves and comparing themselves just to feel insignificant, a self-punishment. And stop letting anxiety lead you, stop suffering for things that did not happen and most likely will never happen the way you imagined, the future can always be surprising. You are so stuck in this mud at the moment that you do not realize that you are a person highly guided by higher beings who are by your side, guiding and caring for you and can even send you signs and in some cases, signals that you may unintentionally ignore. If you allow yourself to be helped too, go after connections, social circles, not the kind of using people but knowing that you can build beautiful bridges for yourself through good relationships, the more people, the better for you.

pile 2

hm definitely the problem here is more of others than you, you are in a way living in a survival mode, always looking to the sides, a growing tension in your shoulders, the kind that has an instinct to never let your guard down. For many, these obstacles come from family and people in your immediate circle. To be successful, you need to move away, not look back. I know it's hard, but you need to free yourself from these people, this energy and this place, and go live somewhere else. If you can't, spend as little time as possible at home and with these people, so that they don't affect you. Protect your energy.

Pile 3

Pile 3 is always something… I think many people can relate to it? That's why there are so many energies here, with different messages. For some, you need to have more responsibility and maturity and focus on something. It doesn't have to be in the literal sense, but you need to make a serious commitment to something and not let yourself be contaminated by fear, because that's what can make you run away from certain commitments. For others, you need to let things flow and not regret so much. You have a relationship that leaves you very stagnant. Take control of the situation.

Oracles, Owls…Some Animals Never Sleep 2021-2012 3D animation, sound

🪄👁️

In Anne Lislegard’s Oracles, Owls…Some Animals Never Sleep an animated owl delivers a prophetic monologue of aphorisms and latent fragments from I-Ching. The monologue is interrupted by compressed dramatized and distorted samples from Blade Runner—Ridley Scott’s 1982 film adaptation of Philip K. Dick’s 1968 novel Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep. These unruly voices are at times menacing yet they are also humorous, doubled – a multiplying self – with unsynchronized dancing and trance-like movements. The owl appears as a visually unstable oracle, breaking-down linguistic structures, and engaged in a squeaky quest to interrogate the notional coherence of self and gender. Oracles are entities that serve as portals to hidden worlds, connecting to what is buried beneath the surface of things. Their messages are usually abstract or coded, which means that we have to learn how they speak. When we try to comprehend their messages and stories we are not just discovering or conversing with these non-human beings, rather we are learning their system, habitat, and language. Yet, Oracles are also tricksters who inform us about the future while breaking rules of coherence and proper conduct. It is a non-human voice that causes language, categories, and identities to shake.
