Where are you on your shadow work journey?

Choose a pile.

Pile One: The Princess

Authority

Hello pile one, I hope your day is going spectacular so far. Today we have for you Four of Wands in reverse, Two of Wands upright, and King of Wands.

So far, I want to say you guys seem like you want to get straight to the point. Give me my message now, is what I’m hearing. I feel like this pile is very, very lonely. For some reason, I’m getting the feeling that you struggle a lot with teamwork or in general asking for help from other people. Your shadow work journey has been all you so far, and you don’t want to ask for help because you feel like it’s not anyone else’s responsibility. “I don’t need anyone to do it for me” is what I hear.

You have a very authoritative presence and personality in general. It shows in all aspects of your life and it takes place in your spiritual journey as well. I feel like you may be very strict on yourself, you don’t want any imperfections. Maybe you know this, maybe it’s barely coming to your awareness.

You definitely have to let go of the idea that you have to be alone, and I can tell you’re very strict on that. As I was writing my phone wouldn’t stop all caps, so what I’m hearing is “I HAVE TO BE ALONE”, which is a very unpleasant place to be at. Things are heavy for you and because of this strict rule that you have placed on yourself you push people away.

From now on, you need to accept help. You need to accept the people that want to help you. Stop resisting the help that the universe sends to you. The Universe sends these people with love because it wants you to get better. There are things that are not meant to be done alone, especially shadow work, which deals with a lot of your dark side. If you dig too much into your darker side, you will get lost. There is light and dark for a reason. Its balance. You need balance.

It’s okay to let yourself be loved, it’s okay to accept help. Tell yourself these things, it’s okay to love yourself to embrace who you are and what you want. There is someone out there that wants to help you, you just gotta let them in. And allow them into what you’re dealing with, what you are working through.

One more thing, there are two people who seem to really want to help you. Masculine and a feminine. Prince of Hearts (Cups in Raider Waite) and Queen of Swords. It could be that these are family, or close friends that feel like family. One may be younger than you or seem to act younger than their age, I’m feeling a “younger brother” type of energy. And for the Queen of Swords, it’s more of an “older sister” or “caring mother” kind of energy. They may not be related or a specific gender, but it’s the kind of presence that they give off when it comes to you. I feel like you may have been closed off to them, and they are concerned about you.

I really just feel like telling you that it’s okay. Just keep telling yourself this, give yourself a hug and tell yourself, “it’s okay to let go of this barrier that I have. It’s okay.” And know that I am saying this along with you. 💜

Pile Two: The Witch

Pressure

Hello lovely pile two, hope you’re day was absolutely wonderful and magical. I hope you find this reading helpful for you today. Let’s get started.

We have The Moon in reverse, The Chariot, and Eight of Pentacles in reverse. I get a very chill vibe from you pile 2, but at the same time you also have a “face your problems head on” kind of vibe. And it’s not a bad thing either. You are not afraid to face your shadow work head on, you charge in there like ZOOM!

But at the same time, when you cross a boundary you don’t particularly like you tend to back away. It’s almost like you charged fast into a dungeon at level 1 and run out because you’re literally one HP close to dying. If you don’t get this, all I’m saying is, you charge into your shadow work head on instead of taking it slow and being patient with the work. You end up tiring yourself out, and for some this could end up in burnout. Don’t do this. Don’t do this to yourself.

Now, as for crossing boundaries, The Suit of Pentacles usually has to do with finances and success, but not necessarily all the time. Unless you feel that you have a problem with spending, cause that’s what I’m kinda sensing. Maybe the boundaries you cross is spending too much money, and you’re like, “oh I have to have this, I have to have that.” Maybe the boundary that you are hesitant on crossing is spending too much for shadow work.

Because you feel like you have to have material in order to achieve this goal (which you don’t) and this is what’s stopping you from doing so. It discourages you. You have the energy and the motivation to do so but this is what stops you.

As for resources, there are plenty online, trust me. Don’t let people fool you into believing that you have to buy things in order to achieve your goal. And also, don’t charge head on into shadow work either. Take it slow, it’s a lot of learning, it’s a lot of practice. There are plenty of spiritual mentors on YouTube, go to whoever you resonate with. If you are a reader, there are online sources to seek as well. But all of this takes time, and it’s not easy either.

I feel a sense of ease, as if saying all this definitely made you feel less pressure. I hope it did. 🫶

Ten of Wands speaks of Oppression as it falls out with the card of Justice. I feel like it’s possible many people have put you down, and this led you to your shadow work journey. You have a fire in you, a burning passion to get better, to show everyone that you made it. That’s where this energy and motivation comes from. That’s where your drive stems from. And that’s definitely where you should start. “I will prove them wrong.” Is what I see here. You want to do this to prove that you can. And you will! I’m rooting for you.

Hopefully this resonates and adds ease to your minds, my friends. Take it easy on your journey and I send you all the love you need. 🖤

Pile Three: The Knight

Foolish

Good evening or morn to you, pile three. Hope you’re having a wonderful day! Let’s get to your reading and hope this resonates for you!

Here we have Eight of Swords, Judgement in reverse, and The Fool. For some reason I’m hearing old, vintage movies and seeing a black and white man in a suit and top hat saying, “top of the morning!” So, either you like Jacksepticeye or you like old movies, whichever resonates. And if it doesn’t resonate then that’s okay too! This could simply be your energy, and I definitely feel someone energetic and maybe you like vintage stuff. If it is, then this could definitely be your pile. (This doesn’t have to resonate to be your pile though, so you can keep reading! :D)

You are stuck. You are feeling very stuck on your shadow work journey. With this Judgement card I’m getting “lack of Judgement” actually. Maybe your lack of judgement has made you feel stuck, it could be that you went into shadow work blindly with different people telling you different things. Or lack of research is what has you stumped. It seems this has stopped you, maybe you’ve started all this work and you found out something new and now you feel like you have to start all over again.

There is definitely a sense of frustration here, I literally hear someone going, “UGGGH, now I have to start all over.” And so you become The Fool, venturing off into the journey again like new. This is kind of silly, and I feel like you may be laughing at yourself or maybe people have made you literally feel like a fool because of this situation. Or you just feel that way in general.

I feel like there’s not that much to touch on here, like you already know what to do but you just don’t know where to start. Or, because you feel silly, you don’t want to get things wrong again. I feel like doing a lot more research would definitely help you on this one.

The Queen of Wands and Queen of Hearts both came up for you. This could be two people in your life or maybe qualities that you express. I’m getting “devious” and also “self-assured”. If these are people in your life, I’m not so sure you’d want to keep them around. I feel like they will be the type of people who get what they want, no matter how. And that is concerning and a very disrupting energy to have around. It makes sense that they would also be self assured, because they are confident in their abilities to get what they want. I strongly feel that these are people in your life that you need to let go, because they are holding you back from accomplishing your goals. And if YOU are expressing these qualities, then this is something you need to work on based on shadow work.

You probably are wondering, “that’s it?! That’s all I have to do?” Well, yes. Nothing is missing for you, that’s all you have to do. But it’s not going to be easy. Shadow work is so much more than letting go of people and becoming friends with your dark self. It takes time to rebuild that relationship, to rebuild that trust and bond with yourself. I know as a Knight that is something hard to hear, since you’re so used to just going in on a mission and getting it done. This is not like that. It’s much deeper. You may be feeling stuck right now, but trust me after you let go of what’s needed to be let go, everything will flow easy. Everything will release.

Take it easy, my friend. I hope this reading resonated with you! 💜

Pile One: The Heart

Love

Good morning/night to pile one! Hope you are enjoying this day, and I hope you find this reading useful to you. Let’s get started.

Today you may feel as though your authority has been stripped away from you, perhaps from a situation or from someone you know has made you feel this way. This person or situation has made you feel as though you have no voice.

The Emperor card in reverse feels very significant here when it comes to this situation, and it points to someone in particular. With the card in reverse, the face of the emperor is facing the Queen of Pentacles. It could be a woman in your life that is making you feel like you have no authority, or perhaps someone with a very strong feminine energy.

Something about materialism comes up, either you or this person is very materialistic. If it is this person, then they are preventing you from receiving any good news that you are expecting. The Princess of Swords holds a letter of good news, but in reverse it feels like something is being withheld. If the Emperor were to be upright along with the good news, it would be facing the Princess of Swords. This shows me, that the person or situation in your life is holding you back from anything good.

There is also the possibility that this person or situation brings out the worst in you, which may make you materialistic or fall into habits that you may have been trying to get away from. This may resonate for some of you.

I feel like you are bottling up a lot of emotion, which is what takes away this authority big time. You can’t say what you feel, and eventually it will explode. Being able to say what you feel without worry that you will hurt someone’s feelings will benefit you. Always speak your truth, work on your throat chakra. Princess of Hearts in reverse is also holding a letter, I feel like you can find better. If you live your truth, live by what you feel is right for you. Not other people, because it’s your life. Do what your heart desires.

Speaking your truth is connected to your heart, I would say to work on listening to your heart. Connect with your heart chakra and you’ll be able to understand yourself more. Working on your throat will allow you to say what you want for yourself.

Ace of Hearts tells you to allow love into your life, allow the emotion. It’s not weak to show emotion, it’s a part of us. 💜

This is all for your reading Pile One! Hope this resonates for you and thank you for joining me.

Pile Two: The Butterfly

Transformation

Good morning/evening, pile two!

Hope you are enjoying today, as you should, my friends. I hope you find this reading helpful and useful for you. Let’s start!

Someone seems to be holding you back from being who you are. And I mean, who you truly are. This would be The King of Pentacles, a person in your life does not like to see you ride to victory, as we see with Six of Wanda in reverse. They do not like to see you become greater than they are. This is someone you have to let go, especially if they are preventing you from doing what you want in life. And from becoming your best self, The Empress.

Princess of Wands shows that an opportunity may come your way, and it’s a good opportunity. It’s something you’ll want to celebrate, maybe it’s something you’ve been waiting for. Whatever it is, it definitely feels exciting.

This may be what takes you away from this person that’s holding you back, maybe you will use this opportunity as an excuse to get away too. The other possibility is, this person is holding you back from this opportunity but I strongly feel it’s the prior since this event has not happened yet.

I feel like you need to take this in order to set yourself free from this person. To be able to find people that truly value you and your worth and that will celebrate every accomplishment you encounter. So, I really feel like this is necessary for you. It’s something you really need. I’m feeling a sense of urgency, maybe it’s the need to get away? Like some sort of vacation.

As I am writing this and listening to music a song comes on called Starting Over by Chris Stapleton, which this song also resonates a lot with what we are talking about here. It talks about getting away, starting over with someone new. Maybe this resonates with you.

Whatever opportunity and situation this may be, you are being told to take it. And I would love to hear more about this too. 🖤

I hope this resonated with you Pile Two. Good luck on your journey and get what you deserve, loves.

Pile Three: The Bear

Strength

Good morning/evening, Pile Three! I’m feeling energy with you guys, a good energy. Strong too. Hope this reading resonates with you in every way possible and helps you through this day! Let’s get started.

To start we have Strength, I feel this is definitely referring to you, my friend. Yes you, the reader reading this pile, don’t deny it. Don’t deny your potential. Why do you think you got The Bear?

There is so much going on for you right now, isn’t there? I feel like for you, it’s hard to even sit still. Maybe there’s a lot of anxiety or energy, you have to keep moving in survival mode. Your strength is what is getting you through all this, you know you have it. You know you can get through this. In the end, it will benefit you.

You may feel like everything everything is falling apart, your relationships, your stability, your sense of self and direction, your financial situation. But it’s not, you’re not losing anything. I know it feels that way, but you have to trust yourself and trust the moment that you are in right now is going to benefit you later.

Soon there will be peace, soon there will be resolution. Look forward to it. Don’t give up, that’s why you are strong. You are being given that strength to keep going. This is just a little reminder. A push.

You may be feeling stuck in a rut, like you want to do many things at once but you just can’t and you feel helpless. Strength is not just being able to bull doze through a brick wall. It’s also being able to sit still through the hardships and wait for the pain to subside. Wait for things to flow through easily. Like water. Water always finds its way out, it doesn’t do it right away but with years of eroding. Let things go, let go of control. Face your situation without fear, and approach it with calm. Like how an angel approaches a lion.

The Angel in the card of Strength approaches the lion without fear of getting hurt and without hostility. The lion in turn is calm.

Approach situations in this manner, and you will begin to see the change. The situations will shift from chaos to calm. And you will begin to see that all is not ending.

Thank you for reading and I hope this message has helped you. 💜
