⋆˙⟡ One day . . .

I'm going to have my own place with altars for all my deities on prominent display.

My bedroom will be dedicated to Hypnos, with my bed and dressers decorated as shrines for Him - the altar being the room's centrepiece.

I will have a garden with lavender and poppies dedicated to my Lord.

I will have shelves and shelves of books; historical, medicinal, and on sleep science. All used and loved.

I will speak prayers and hymns and recite poetry aloud without fear of judgement or being found.

My home will be a sanctuary of comfort and respite from the outside world. Open to all.

One day, I'm going to rest well. I will be at peace.

Pick a Picture: Who is a spirit guide that wants to introduce themself to you today?

Spirit guides are an entity that protect and/or guide individuals in their lives. Some spirit guides are with us since birth and will remain with us for the rest of our lives, other spirit guides will come and go in our lives, but every single person has a spirit guide

Pile 1: Page of Wands and Six of Swords 🦋 Your spirit guide feels very playful and energetic. There is a very youthful energy about them and they feel very fiery in the best ways. It almost feels like their energy is infectious and whenever they hype you up or get excited about something, you feel very energetic because of them. Oddly specific, but it feels like sometimes they make you want to dance along with them. They have an optimistic nature about them, but don’t be fooled by that, they will lay things out pretty straightforward when you talk to them, it will sort of be like “You need to stop this job, you suck at it, buttt at least you have more free time now”, kinda thing. (Sorry it’s a very random example but that’s what popped up into my head. They also seem to have a strong sense of justice and what is right and wrong, they are urging you find power from within  and also channel this sort of energy. I’m seeing that they are introducing themselves to you today because you may be needing a sign to move on. I’m getting that some of you guys may be scared to turn your back against something, however I’m seeing that there so so many better opportunities out there waiting for you and your spirit guide just wants to give you a push in the right direction.

Pile 2: The Wheel of Fortune and the Seven of Swords in Reverse 🦋 Your spirit guide is a go with the flow kind of guide. They feel very flexible and can adapt to different situations you put yourself in.  I’m getting the phrase that they can “weave up words”, so perhaps they may have very poetic and eloquent messages for you, or at least something more complex you have to think about. Yes, I am definitely getting that your spirt guide has multiple layers and is quite complex in character, so it seems like you might take a while to get to know them fully, but the journey is always worth it. It also seems like they are never short on offering a helping hand, I’m getting from spirit. They won’t hesitate to help you out so long you ask them for it. I keep getting that they understand the nature of life and won’t fault you in your flaws/faults, hopefully this is making sense. They are coming forward today to introduce themselves to ask you not to cower away from challenges. It feels like some of you are trying to take shortcuts, but they are saying straight up that it won’t produce the results you want, embrace the challenges of the full journey and you may find something more meaningful in life.

Pile 3: The Hanged Man and the Sun 🦋 Your spirit guide feels very warm and patient. It’s almost giving like a grandparent vibe, which for some of you, they may very well be a grandparent. They seem to be quite insightful, so definitely go to them if you want advice or insight to a situation. They are very understanding with you, they get humans, I’m hearing, they get the flaws and everything they miss, and they are okay to wait for you and aid you on fully grasping all perspectives in situations. I’m suddenly feeling quite tired, so this spirit guide could make you feel really at peace, so much that you get sleepy in their presence, or perhaps you don’t prioritise sleep and they are telling you to. Yeah, overall just feeling a very patient guide. Now, your spirit guide wanted to introduce themself today because it seems like you guys haven’t been feeling as much joy in recent times (check out my reading on how to add more joy in your life, it may help you out). Your spirit guide is trying to change that, and additionally, try to heal your inner child. They just seem very much like grandparents trying to nurture their grandchild.

Pick a Picture: What Is Your Soul Really Craving Right Now?

Pile 1: Page of Cups 🦋 Pile 1, you soul really craves creative endeavours. Your soul is asking that you release reality for a while and use your imagination to create something. It's saying that you don't having to make something beautiful, in fact it's saying don't be afraid to get messy, embrace your creative process, make something messy or beautiful or anything really. As long as you put in effort to express yourself and your imagination, the sky really is your limit. If anyone reading this wants to start selling art etc., this is also your sign to go for it. After all, what's the worse that could happen? 🦋 Some creative activities that your soul may want to engage in include:

Painting

Music (dancing, singing)

Short story writing

Poetry

Theatre

Drawing

Pottery

Pile 2: Temperance 🦋 I'm getting that your soul craves some slowing down. I feel like the individuals who choose this are quite fast-paced and/or impatient people. No shame in that, I am hella impatient too. However, it's time to give yourself some rest, your soul needs it. Let go of any impulses to hurry things along, to busy yourself too much. It's asking you to find balance, to give yourself time. Additionally, there may be some people in this pile, but I'm feeling this will resonate for only a few, some of you guys may have been resting TOO much. Your soul may be craving more activity to entertain themself with. Try doing a fun project and you never know where that may lead you. But like I said before, most of you guys need the rest desperately 🦋 Some relaxing activities your soul may want you to do:

Meditation

Yoga

Self-care day

Indulging in sweet treats

Treating yourself to some nice drinks

Pile 3: Page of Wands 🦋 Your soul wants an adventure. I'm getting that an adventure in nature, specifically, is something your soul really craves. I think on a deeper level, this adventure will help your soul feel freer and lighter. There is also something so healing about nature, about the beauty of the Earth. There's a feeling like there is so much to discover and your soul really wants to see more of the world. I'm seeing that you don't have to go on this adventure alone, going with some friends may also be something your soul will enjoy, of course take what resonates, you are also free to take adventures alone. And I know so of you may think of a big and grand adventure, but it can also be a small adventure. 🦋 Some adventures you guys can take:

A walk in your neighbourhood (or even another for that fact)

Road Trip

Travel to a different country

Travel to a different state

Hiking

Camping

*ੈ✩‧₊˚Get to Know Me .𖥔 ݁ ˖ ᯓ★

Hey guys, you can call me Sapphire, I really wanted to do a little introduction today so you all can get to know me a little. .𖥔 ݁ ˖🛸─────── .✦ .𖥔 ݁ ✏︎ Age: 16 .𖥔 ݁ ✏︎ Labels: Pansexual, Abrosexual, Greyromantic, Cupioromantic .𖥔 ݁ ✏︎ Pronouns: She/her .𖥔 ݁ ✏︎ Western Astrology: Aries Sun, Leo Moon, Libra Rising .𖥔 ݁ ✏︎ Interests: Listening to music, journaling, tarot, the sims, animal crossing .𖥔 ݁ ✏︎ Extra: I am a hellenic polytheist meaning I worship the Greek Gods .𖥔 ݁ ˖🛸─────── .✦ .𖥔 ݁ ✏︎ I got into tarot back in 2021, specifically the readings people posted on YouTube, the pick a card ones. I started to get deeper into it and I simply just wanted to learn tarot so I could do readings for me, for other people. At the time, I wasn't able to buy any cards because I didn't really want to tell my parents about it and ask for a deck. I distinctly remember me watching this video, and they were saying that they used a playing card deck when they didn't have a tarot deck with them. So, technically, my first deck was this golden playing card deck I got from a wedding. However, last year I got an actual tarot deck as a present from my friend and now I have three proper tarot decks. I love reading for other people the most because I find it's easier to remove bias, whereas when I read for myself I am always in desperate search for the most positive message. .𖥔 ݁ ✏︎ It's genuinely a joy to read for you guys, if any of you have suggestions for questions you want me to do for my next pick a pile, don't hesitate to drop it in the ask box. Thank you guys so much for supporting, and continual support for my blog.

Pick A Picture: What You Need to Release VS What You Need to Embrace (Pile number goes from left to right)

Pile 1: Page of Swords in Reverse and The Hierophant

🦋 I’m seeing that for some of you reading you’ve been planning all these cool ideas, things to do etc. but I am seeing that there has been no action taken for you to achieve this. You’re all talk and no action. RELEASE THIS PLEASEEE. For other individuals reading this group, you will know which is message is for you, the universe is urging you to slow do, do not be too impulsive with your actions. Release any rash decisions and please take your time when you decide to do something.  You guys should embrace any ability to learn, especially to grow and to develop spiritually. Perhaps so of you are uncomfortable with what your beliefs may bring upon to you, but the universe is telling you not to worry, embrace the journey. Embrace the thirst to learn more, to explore more and to understand more about your spirituality, or religion. If any of you guys have religious trauma, this card is urging you to not let that stop you from embracing a practise or religion that works for you and brings you comfort. This card is also urging you not to be afraid to ask for help and embrace the opportunity you have to ask for help where other people may not have such opportunities.

🦋 Release: Any inaction, or any impulsive decisions 🦋 Embrace: Learning opportunities, spiritual or religious experiences, asking for help

Pile 2: Two of Wands and Queen of Swords

🦋 Pile 1's message, the things they needed to release and the things they needed to embrace didn’t feel like they had any correlation, but your message definitely feels like there is some correlation. I’m going to try my best to verbalise what I am seeing here. The universe is telling you to let go of the mindset that you need to have the entire world at your fingertips. Maybe your longing to expand business or family etc around the world. It’s asking you to look at what you have in front of you right now and release the power you have right now. It’s asking you to embrace this power, to utilise it to the best of your ability. There is a big emphasis that you don’t need to look outwards right now, you can release that, instead, embrace what you have already because things will come to you naturally if you ensure that everything you have right now is maintained. I’m getting that you long to see the world outside, but you can’t even appreciate the world you have right in front of you, how can you possibly appreciate the world outside to it’s fullest extent then? Like how can you manifest more good things into your life if you aren’t already appreciative of what you have right now? You have power, pile 2, embrace it and watch it turn into something even more powerful. Release the need for immediate growth.

🦋 Release: The mindset that you need more power, dismissing your current surroundings 🦋 Embrace: Your current surroundings, your power right now, enjoying what you have, the present moment

Pile 3: Seven of Swords and Ten of Swords in Reverse

🦋 This message suggests that you may have experienced a point in your life where you never had enough materials or goods, so you’ve developed a habit of hoarding or being a tad bit greedy. This is the universe’s reminder that everything will work out so there isn’t a need to hoard materials, let it go, release it. The universe, no matter how hard it feels right now, will make sure that you will have enough.  In addition, the universe is asking you to let yourself recover. Embrace your recovery period, you made it through the worst, let yourself recover. Things may be coming to an end, embrace it. There are things you may feel sad that you have to let go off, but you must make space for better things in your life. There are billions of people on this earth and even more objects, let go of things that no longer serve you and embrace what this ending and recovery will mean, new beginnings, better opportunities. 

🦋 Release: The need to hoard objects, Greedy habits 🦋 Embrace: Recovery period, endings, new beginnings and opportunities

Pick a Picture: How can you add more Joy into your life? (Pile number goes from left to right)

This is a general reading about what you can do to add more joy into your life. I picked two cards in each pile and used imagery and the traditional meanings to interpret what the cards may be trying to say. Some parts of your pile should resonate, sometimes you won't resonate with all of the reading because this is a general reading. However, if your pile doesn't resonate, please pick another pile. This reading is just for fun, do not take it too seriously!!!

Pile 1: Knight of Swords and The World 🦋 The universe is urging you to take time off and go on a journey. This can be as big as travelling to a new country, or it can be as simple as taking a walk in your neighbourhood. Regardless of what it is, I am seeing that you should genuinely be taking your time to be mindful of the environment around you while you are on this journey, you may see things that shed light to a new and positive perspective. Sometimes just observing your surroundings and noticing the little things in your life, just makes you feel lighter, happier. Those of you that have also been hoping for a lover, I am seeing that you may possibly be given the opportunity to meet a new romantic interest. However, the universe is asking you to work on yourself and learn to enjoy the journey of your life alone before it can present you with this opportunity. Those who already have a partner, spending some extra time can help you feel more joyful. For all of you though, try to implement more adventures in your life, big and small.

🦋 Significant Places/: New Zealand, Malaysia 🦋 Other Significant Symbols: White Horses, Yellow Flowers

Pile 2: Four of Swords and Five of Wands in Reverse 🦋 The universe is saying that taking your time to celebrate small achievements of you or/and loved ones will bring joy into your life. Obviously, celebrations don’t have to be big, but just doing something can make you so much more happier. I’m also seeing that if there is an old friend you want to text/meet etc., that is your confirmation to do so. The Five of Swords in Reverse warns you to not get involved in conflicts. It can also suggest that if there is a conflict going on right now that is worrying you, it will be resolved soon and you can feel more lighter and happier. Being able to negotiate may also be important to some people reading this message, agreeing to disagreeing can be a lot better on your happiness. Mainly, to add more joy into your life, you should celebrate all the achievements you and/or loved ones have achieved.   🦋 Significant Places: India, Wedding Venues, Nature 🦋 Other Significant Symbols: Red Flowers, Roosters, Peacocks, Weddings

Pile 3: Nine of Swords and King of Swords  🦋 Meditating is coming through with the imagery on this one. I am seeing that you guys are feeling rather anxious, or struggle with anxiety and mediation and calming the mind may add some joy into your life. The universe wants to remind you that you cannot control other people’s actions, rather, you can only control your own so it’s asking you to cease worrying, clear your mind so you can be in control of your own actions. In doing so, you will find more happiness then your current state. I’m seeing with the King of Swords that as a result of meditating, there will be more structure in your life and that can really help improve the stability in your life. There is also an almost protective energy, so perhaps you are earning more protection from any negative energy, which will result in feeling lighter, therefore, more happy. 🦋 Significant Places: Greece, Persia 🦋 Other Significant Symbols: Griffins, Green Candles

I hoped I was able to give you some insight on how you can add more joy into your life. ♥︎

Pick a Picture: What makes you so magnetic?

(Pile number goes from left to right)

This is a general reading about what makes you so magnetic. I picked two cards in each pile and used imagery and the traditional meanings to interpret what the cards may be trying to say. Some parts of your pile should resonate, sometimes you won't resonate with all of the reading because this is a general reading. However, if your pile doesn't resonate, please pick another pile. This reading is just for fun, do not take it too seriously!!!

Pile 1: The Emperor and The Queen of Swords

There is this old soul vibe about you, something that just feels like you have this innate wisdom that is hard to find in other people. It feels like you guys could be leaders, commanders, but people are really drawn to your leadership because there is a subtle gentleness behind it all, a warmth, if you will. It's almost like a grandparent's love and wisdom thats coming from you. People are also really drawn to the stability you guys have, you are very grounded people who know what you want and how to get to it. I just also want to say, I notice that both people on this card are holding something up in their hand, for The Emperor it appears to be a staff, for the Queen of Swords its a sword. That might be significant to some people who choose this pile, but it's really standing out to me. Perhaps this could mean there is a possession you own that makes you stand out, or this could be symbolic of a trait or specific characteristic you have that sets you apart from your peers. You just feel very warm and safe and that seems to be what most people are drawn to when they see you.

Summary: People find you magnetic because of your:

Old soul

Wisdom

Gentleness

Leadership style

Stability

Warmth

───────────── ⋆⋅☆⋅⋆ ──────────────

Pile 2: Ten of Swords and Five of Wands in Reverse

You guys are a resilient bunch let me tell you that. People are really admiring that about you and they are drawn to you because no matter what challenges you face, you always keep your goal in mind. You guys may also be indifferent to what other people say and rather form judgements on your own, and people really like that about you. You don't get involved in unnecessary drama and tend to be more empathetic to people because you seem to have gone through things in your past. You also really see past people's bullshit, no one can lie to you, and thats exactly why people find you magnetic. In addition, as weird as it is, you guys genuinely feel nonchalant to me, you are just focused on yourself and people really admire the confidence and self love you have.

Summary: People find you magnetic because of your:

Indifference

Self-confidence

Persistence to achieve your goals

Empathy

Ability to see past bullshit

───────────── ⋆⋅☆⋅⋆ ──────────────

Pile 3: Queen of Wands and Queen of Cups

Ugh, you guys feel so flamboyant and graceful, I'm so jealous. You have pretty privilege, is all I can say. You make heads turn whenever you enter a room, there is just such an 'it' girl/boy vibe to you. Your style may be dramatic or unique but it fits you so well and you also seem very in peace with yourself. You're probably like one of those people on TikTok with those aesthetic morning routines/night routines etc. If you aren't you have the potential to glow the fuck up, baby, and everyone can see it. People are drawn to your put-togetherness and your style. There is just such a girl boss energy to this pile, and even if you aren't a girl, it's the same vibe, like you got everything you need in life and you can achieve anything. I keep looking back at the cards and the only thing I can keep looking back is their outfits, like you guys genuinely have the best outfits ever.

Summary: People find you magnetic because of your:

Style

Looks

Gracefullness

Dramatic nature

Aesthetic

How put together you are

I hope you guys enjoyed the reading ♥︎
