Colouring the first pages of my UUSIKUUU colouring books. These two are from Year of Witches specifically.

This colouring book is so adorable and has a good mix of teeny tiny detailed drawings and more open drawings with lots of space. Both are relaxing in their own regard.

I have been feeling quite overwhelmed lately and this has helped so much.

Mugwort is such a staple in my practice, subconsciously even. One of my favourite incense is Mugwort. My grandma used to tell me that Mugwort tea is great for tummy troubles, so I've been keeping that around ever since. It's growing everywhere in the backyard. What a great herb altogether. I love learning about its dreaming-related properties.

I received these absolute cuties today!

Two colouring books and one notebook by UUSIKUUU! They are absolutely adorable and I can't wait to start colouring. I might upload a few pages here when I finish them!

This reading has been very near and dear to my heart, so I wanted to share it.

My middle, the center of my tree of being, is all about being still.

My well is that of serenity and tranquility.

I want to be the peace that others seek.

I want to provide stillness for those who are upheaved.

I want to give compassion when there is need.

I want to do better. I want to break the cycle for myself and help others do so as well. I want us to have and to make choices without feeling cornered. My world tree provides safety and space for that choice. My tree is rooted in the decision to not limit myself anymore. I try to give and explore all the opportunities that are presented. I know my actions have consequences, so I choose wisely.

I have always made sacrifices in order to move on, usually they weren't for me though. What I have heavily worked on in the past couple of years is prioritizing myself and following my path. My endurance comes through compromise as I go my way. Making the journey to begin with was the biggest step I could have ever taken.

My strong emotions need to be felt and released. Keeping them in only causes rot. Once I release, I also nourish my tree and thus grow. Knowing I am emotional, and knowing how that is my strength, is a great realization.

I invite new growth into my being by not holding onto things, but releasing them, and allowing myself to move on.

I need to connect to nature. Feel and experience it hands-on. This is where my connection to the tree lies. I connect through kindness and nurture. I want to protect and teach, one way or another. Sharing my insights is part of my nature, it's just been snuffed in the past. Opening myself up to this nurturing role brings connection. Decks: Cosmic Oracle + Dreams of Gaia Tarot

Life has been a little turbulent lately and tarot had to take a step back. Here is a reading from my study group all about how chaos shapes me and how to navigating chaos.

In a nutshell, I rise from chaos more empathetic towards others. I have a high sense of justice and want to make everyone feel heard and understood. Chaos opens the floodgates, it helps process emotions and makes me take a deep look into that well that I like to cover up sometimes. Dancing through my troubles and reminding myself that they are here to shape me might help navigate this chaos. And if, in the end, the world does not make sense anymore, I must follow my own rules. I need to set myself guidelines to follow. Decks: Angelarium: Oracle of Emanations + Mary El Tarot

I'm having a very mentally and emotionally challenging day today. I realize that I am blocking myself out from enjoying anything.

I have actively refused to do any of the things that typically bring me joy throughout the day. I am simply self-sabotaging and I need to move past that.

Sometimes I am happy the cards nudge me when I am too clouded to see my own faults.

Thawing and warming up to the concept of receiving is hard sometimes. When you don't feel worthy of attention, you will decline abundance that might come your way.

I know I have been guilty of this, it's hard to receive when I don't feel like I have given anything. But this is not just about monetary gifts. This is also reflected in creativity, inspiration, and activities.

Sometimes I tell myself I am not ready for it yet, but really it is just self-sabotage. Today I will open myself to receive.

Today my non-negotiables are about protecting my emotional peace and well-being.

I need to stand my ground and keep my inner flame lit and protected. I understand this message deeply as I can be a people-pleaser. But today is a me-day and nothing gets in the way of that.

I have cultivated an inner landscape of abundance and I will cherish that today.

I'm going to share this deeply personal reading from my tarot circle and study group today. While I don't want to go into too much detail, it asks me to show compassion to my inner ugliness. To the thieves, liars, saboteurs and abusers that sit in all of us, the nasty voices in our heads that keep us small and quiet... to invite those for a conversation, to give them a voice and to remind them that they were there for a reason but their purpose is now served.

I am ready to move on as I give myself space to grieve. I am father and mother to myself and I walk through life with kindness instead of anger.

Wednesday, August 9th

I am reminded today that my creative expression needs intent and a vision. Creativity for me is not only fun, but also self-expression. By giving it structure and a purpose, I can ignite my inner fire and birth pure creation.

I have felt inspired to express myself in song today, I consciously made the time to sit at the piano to play and sing for an hour and it felt powerful and healing.

I have received these beautiful Almanacs today!

While the Magical Almanac focuses on elemental magic and gives insights into day-to-day magic for the year 2024, the Sabbats Almanac travels through the wheel of the year, starting Samhain 2023, and inspires with magic rituals, celebratory crafts, and cooking ideas. I am looking forward to living more mindfully through the wheel of the year and learning about corresponding elements through these little guides.

Today's morning draw was deeply personal. It spoke about the coming home to myself that I desperately seek.

Sometimes I feel it, but oftentimes I only find hurt when I go inwards. It's a challenge to embrace every single part of myself.

The King provides that stability and the resources, the foundation that is needed to keep myself safe. Today I want to embrace that benevolent king.

These cards are speaking to my week-ahead reading, which was all about getting defensive and knowing when to attack, and when to retreat.

It's about not getting caught up in the "winning" of an argument, but in reflecting on why it upset me to begin with. The wisdom of perspective allows me to become a better version of myself.

Sunday, August 6th

As a human, I am a constant seeker, and often I overlook seeking myself. This is a reminder to gently build a pathway and an opportunity for me to spread my tendrils and discover myself.

I am not truly there yet, probably never will be, but I am on the path to learning more about myself through tarot. And what a beautiful journey it is!

Temperance provides me with an exchange of energies. I am about ready to step out of my stagnant stage, I have rested enough and I feel that tug towards productivity again.

I feel the joy and motivation that comes with this change in energies.

Friday, August 4th

Today's message is about stillness, which coincides with my current feelings of ebb.

I have been feeling more inclined to withdraw and isolate. But I will take this moment of respite to recharge for whenever my energy returns.
