If you're a polytheist and just picked up tarot, I don't think you should use the cards for deity communication right away.

Before I began worshipping the gods, I'd already been reading tarot for 3 years. It allowed me to learn the language of the cards before I used them to commune with the divine. Doing tons of readings which had NOTHING to do with deity communication taught me the difference between my deck's voice, my own internal biases, the querent's voice, and the countless other factors that affect a reading.

So when I started invoking the gods in my readings, I could see a major difference in voice, tone, and clarity. I know that Apollon tends to deliver clear, crisp messages in major Arcana, but I wouldn't know that if I'd never done a reading without him.

You also don't need to call on deity for every issue. More "people on the line" can confuse a message. Although I invoke deity very often, there are some topics for which I just ask the deck or the universe.

Imo, you need to the know a language before you try to speak it.

Working with Lord Lucifer has been a huge gift, no matter how many mood swings I have, or how many times I completely abandon witchcraft and worship for months at a time, he was always been watching over me until I was ready to come back.

So, while I make deity info posts, none of them felt as emotional as researching and putting time into Lord Lucifer's background as the Greek Gods Eosphorus, Phosphorus and Hesperus.

Why Christianity took his name, I'll never know, but growing up christian is what lead me to my salvation in his arms and I will never not be grateful for him.

Ave Lord Lucifer - (His deity info post)

I just saw someone say with full confidence that they use AI to help decipher their tarot readings and I just??? You work and worship God's of the Arts and assume it's okay to use technology that takes away from ARTISTS? And not only that, boasts about it online as if it's a good thing that you are doing when this is also scientifically proven to hurt the Earth as well. It makes no sense to me, sorry.

The Danger of Aestheticizing Hoodoo: A Response to Sinners

If Sinner sparked your curiosity, that’s not inherently a bad thing. But take that curiosity and point it toward learning about cultural boundaries, the difference between Hoodoo and other African diasporic religions, and how to uplift practitioners from the culture rather than co-opt their work.

Liking a movie is fine. Practicing a tradition you don’t belong to because a movie made it look cool? Not fine. Respect the roots. Honor the culture. Hoodoo isn’t for everyone—and that’s okay.

when someone is better than me at something I started learning first

I fcks with astrology and cards heavy but I get so irritated when readings only talk about love. Like girl ok and what else?…what them cards say about when we’re going to be FREE? Like what is the stars saying about abolishing this hellscape that is systemic and intersectional oppression? Where are the transits that say I can get more sleep without feeling guilty and nauseated by the worry that I’ll lose my job?!

Love in the patriarchy ain’t all that fun when the dopamine wears off and the money just won’t stretch.

Babe I AM love but I am tireddd.
