Pile 1:

(The cards I got for you - Ace of wands, Queen of wands, 7 of cups, 5 of cups, 7 of pentacles and 8 of pentacles)

The first thing I hear and feel Emotional, Vulnerable and very Experimental, You both will experiment a lot on your first night. I also feel you are both versatile in your sex life and open with it. I also feel your first night with your future spouse is gonna be very memorable, like any other sex or intimate time with them can't top it, this experience of yours with them, it's gonna be quite passionate and wild as well. For some of you very possessive and rough too, like they will like marking their territory on you, you might both start with simple conversations and it will go from there, I feel your future spouse will be rough as well as caring with you, like being gentle and asking before they slid themselves into you, I feel they will be into sex toys or they would like to use expensive toys on you vibrators, dildo, they like to see you squirm, while they play with you, some of you might be into light foreplay or choking, there won't be much talking but lots of moans and grunts or light sounds from you or them, Before they enter inside you they will like to tease you a lot, like maybe until you just put it inside yourself, they will chuckle a lot, they might like to say "hungry for me, baby", "so ready for me already", little chats here are there but it will turn you on so much. They might be experienced and confident with their moves and thrusts, them touching your clit or fingering while they suck you is what i am also channeling, you both or one of you will be blindfolded too, while doing your reading i saw silk sheets, so it may be prominent, dim lights, you will be doing it all night like 3 rounds 4 rounds and even more, i don't see you getting tired, some of you guys can be virgin too, your sex will be very experimental using food, them using lots of toys on you, that much is very prominent. They might make you orgasm many times in a row, and after gathering more energy you will be going at it again. i also feel some of you like to wear uniforms or your partner. Earth and fire placements are very prominent for this pile.

Phew, give me a cold ice water to shower i need it after this reading.

Pile 2:

(The cards i got for you - The star, judgement, Knight of cups, queen of cups, queen of pentacles, 8 of cups and the hermit)

First thing I feel they like to watch you touch yourself or vice versa. Like they will see you all worked up your fingers moving inside you it will turn them on, They will praise you a lot, like "good girl", "just like that", "keep doing that", For some of you the sex will be very traditional like you might not be that open with it, so you will a bit shy with them while they touch you, i also feel some of you guys will be doing it standing or on different corners of the house, in front mirrors, not much experimental, but i feel some people with this pile like missionary a lot, your spouse will appreciate your body a lot, like they are awestruck by it, their simple touch could make you wet, the sex with you both will be very transformative or life changing like you never experienced it before, they might be your boyfriend already so they already know your turn on's, I feel they will be also very gentle with you and caring, vanilla sex, not very rough, but emotional caring and loving kind, it will feel a very cosmic union like your bodies made to fit together, i feel they will kiss you a lot while they thrust themselves into you, some of you will be overwhelmed with the pleasure and be crying in a pleasurable way of course, i feel they will wipe your tears and be very gentle like making sure you are okay with all of it, I also feel this pile also have some bi readers, like very feminine energy from this pile, or if not then i feel your spouse is in touch with their feminine side, oral sex is also here too they will lick the parts that will just make your eyes roll back like crazy, "don't stop" - you or them might be saying this a lot, they will kiss your neck a lot, or rubs your back while they slowly pull themselves into you, they like to make sure you are enjoying it as much as they are. "unorthodox sex" is also very prominent with this pile. I also feel very decorated bed with roses on them. Air signs and water sign, cancer placements is also prominent here.

awww, you two seem like soft couples, your first night is very sweet to be honest.

Pile 3:

(The cards I got for you - The devil, 8 of wands, queen of swords, knight of wands, ace of wands, ace of cups, two of cups, 4 of wands and the temperance)

Okay so the first thing i felt and heard very lustful and the type you were both waiting for it for this very day, the night with your future spouse will be very passionate, and intense, your spouse might like to talk between sex, using dirty language with you "i heard such a whore", "my slut", "you like that when i touch you like that. don't you?" for some of you might be waiting till marriage. You both will be like wild rough animal like just not caring for a little marks on your body, as i said very lustful and yet passionate and balanced, the chemistry between you both is undeniable like physical chemistry check, emotional chemistry that checks out too, i wont go in their personality but that message just kept coming up but okay!, you both will be very naughty on you first night, you and your spouse might be into bdsm, he is very seductive or would, will give you multiple orgasms, I also feel ice cubes will be used on your first night, i heard "you are mine and i hope you know that", they won't care if someone hears you outside your room, they will be very rough, i feel they wont be able to wait till you change your wedding clothes, like even a quickie before you finally give yourself to each other, for some of you already had sex with them before marriage, but mostly, it will be your first time with them, the night will be very long, i feel they will make the atmosphere around you like aromatic candles, lavender/jasmine? light scents, your future spouse would like to lick your clit a lot, they like giving you orgasms, you both try many new positions, doggy style or cowgirl reverse, its very funny how you both are so wild, lustful and yet passionate its like perfectly balanced, your first night will go on long, you might do it all night not sleeping at all, very intellectual and powerful wedding night, it will imprint on you, unforgettable, I also feel they are veryyy experienced just like pile 1, they know what they are doing, they won't tease you a lot because they are very much impatient just to take you, he will ask you to ride him a lot, you bouncing on him, he will give you hickey's like would be soo excited to show everyone you had a very great night, It wont be just sex, its a passionate union between the true divine lovers, i heard "Kamasutra sex" might be of importance, I also feel they will like to cum all over you, or on your tits, your bodies will just blend together perfectly, you both will cum together a lot, this pile might be virgin too, for some of you the sex is rough as well very peaceful, white color also have a importance in both of your lives or on your first night, as i said the chances are you both doing it for the first time the message was very strong, you both will rest very less but in the end you will be cuddling and sleeping together.

pick a picture; what to expect for the month of october

pile 1 -> pile 2 -> pile 3

disclaimer; this is a general reading! these messages may not fit everyone. please take what resonates and leave the rest.

「 pile one」

five of wands rv (cb: the word lord rv, the wise woman of wonderland rv) knight of swords (cb: the arrow master rv, the hungry ghosts), six of swords (cb: the sacred union)

you may be purposefully avoiding conflict this month. you may find out that people are gossiping or talking badly about you behind your back. you're being asked to not engage with them. they are projecting onto you - and that is not your problem. it's their own fears and negativity speaking. there may be one person (feminine) in particular that is causing drama. do not be afraid to walk away from someone because you're worried you will not find another. staying with such a person will not benefit you in the long run. for some of you, this particular situation may be regarding a friendship of some sort. you may be grappling with a lack mindset this month. this negative mindset may be affecting your self-esteem and your relationship with potential romantic partners. this may sound redundant, but settling is not the answer. you may be giving too much of yourself to people who do not deserve it and you are not allowing yourself to receive. relationships should not be one-sided, you deserve to receive love as well. you may be experiencing self-deprecating thoughts. shift your perspective of yourself and address those limiting beliefs. be willing to stop this cycle and things will change for the better. i'm seeing that once you end this cycle, there is true love in your future - if you're brave enough to take the leap. also, i saw 12:34 on the clock while i was reading - if that is confirmation for someone.

[songs that may resonate] get it your way - the band camino, sparks fly - taylor swift, in a perfect world - dean lewis & julia michaels

「 pile two」

temperance (cb: the altar princess, the cosmos), 5 of swords (the metal king, gaia's garden), the lovers rv (the lady of the mirror, the mapmaker of destiny)

you may be starting a project or have a new opportunity that will bring a lot of meaning to your life. this could be something creative. this will bring you a lot of happiness and stability, as long as you diligently work towards your goal. however, you must be mindful of people with negative intentions trying to take advantage of you and the success from this project. keep quiet about the details of this new venture, and make sure to set boundaries with others. you may be experiencing trouble within your love life this month. for someone specific: you may have found someone who you want to start a relationship with; however, they do not want commitment. Instead, they want the more... physical aspects of a relationship or wish for a casual fling. do not blame yourself if this turns out to be the case. their actions are a reflection of them, not you - do not let their low-vibrational intentions taint your self-esteem.

[songs that may resonate] dirty little secret - the all-american rejects, i choose you - sara bareilles, your love is my drug - kesha

「 pile three」

death (cb: the dragon's duel), three of pentacles (cb: the resting tree rv), five of wands (cb: the swan queen)

you may be facing a significant choice this month. i'm hearing "should i stay or should i go?" you're being asked to analyze your choices to determine which one will serve your highest intentions. this may be concerning the end of a cycle. you may have finally completed your healing journey and you're ready to move forward into a new period. however, this will take a conscious effort on your part to step into this new chapter of your life. you may also be experiencing a lot of stress this month. if you start to feel yourself getting overwhelmed with your commitments: stop, take a breath, and meditate if you can. do not try to do everything at once or you may make mistakes - things don't happen overnight. also, do not be afraid to ask others for help to lighten your load. you aren't meant to do everything yourself. be open to assistance from others.

@moranastray + Changbin (Stray Kids)

Seo Chang Bin

Deck: Tarot of Mystical Moments

Spread: Sweet Romance

The eyes meet across the room… (What captivates them about you) [57] - 10 of Wands

The way you manage all your responsibilities and you are always ready to help out others even when you already carry a heavy burden is likely to captivate Changbin’s attention. Your selflessness and ability to work hard and even harder all the time is impressive for him, though at the same time he’s likely to feel called to help you with your responsibilities or to sweetly reward you and encourage you to take some time for yourself.

Sweet scent lingering in the air… (What pulls them closer to you) [15] - 6 of Cups

While you are very responsible, you don’t forget about your inner child and you have a certain playfulness within you. You can become rather nostalgic from time to time, fondly remembering the games you played in your childhood and maybe putting some effort into revisiting them. If there was a video game you used to play a lot, you will find a way to play it with the current OS. If there was a show you used to love when you were little, you will search for it online or in stores. Changbin might actually feel drawn to you in his curiosity for what you used to love and he will happily assist you when reviving the memories.

Only the brave ones… (What motivates them to approach you) [34] - IX The Hermit

As contradictory as it might sound, Changbin is likely to approach you when you are all alone and lost in your mind or deeply in studies. He might feel intimidated by your lively nature and only gathers the courage to come and talk to you when you are all above the world and introspecting. He might feel as a disturbance at first, making you slightly annoyed but soon you realise that his presence is calming and inspiring.

Words as sweet as honey… (What enchants them about you) [69] - Queen of Wands

Changbin is likely to feel completely charmed by your charisma and the positive energy you are oozing. As mentioned before, you never stop, never let anyone down and often take many responsibilities on but you do so with so much grace and spring in your step that it looks as if you were dancing through your daily tasks. You stand out and radiate like a beautiful sunflower in a field of thistles and Changbin feels truly impressed by you and he admires you a lot. He looks up to you and he probably naturally submits to the spell you put on him.

Lips like petals of a rose… (What makes them kiss you) [11] - 6 of Pentacles

Changbin might actually feel a bit shy to kiss you but he can’t really hide how he craves it in front of you. It’s more likely for the first kiss to come from your initiative, you making the first step. While Changbin feels shy to openly kiss you first, all his doubts melt away as soon as you let him know you crave his kisses as much as he craves yours. He becomes the most generous and gentlest of men for you, joining your kiss with eagerness and glee. He’s as happy as a puppy when he can be close to you.

Love is a form of insanity… (What makes them fall in love with you) [39] - 5 of Swords

Once again we hit the wall of shyness with Changbin. He might be rather anxious about confessing his feelings to you, often just starting to incoherently blabber, his face turning red with embarrassment. However, as soon as somebody else makes their move towards you, someone tries to steal your attention and heart, Changbin is likely to come straight forward and claim you as his one and only.

[PICK A CARD] DOES HE LIKE ME OR NAH?

Hello lovelies~ ♡

This is a pick a card reading for “Does he like me or nah?”. This is a timeless reading, you are meant to see it right now. Please do find peace if it doesn’t resonate with you~

So take a few minutes to mediate on these 4 piles:

Pile 1 – 4 (from left to right)

Once you’re ready, just scroll below to find the reading that you have chosen!

You can always leave a comment or simply like the post if it resonates with you, thank you so much~ ♡♡♡

Pile 1:

Tarot: King of Wands, Page of Cups, King of Swords, The High Priestess, 7 of Wands

Oracles: Romantic Feelings – Your feelings are real and worth exploring. / LOVE / COURAGE / Treasure Island (9) / All That Glitters (16)

Okay to start off, this person on your mind does have romantic feelings for you. This is evident from the oracle cards Romantic Feelings as well as Love. I feel a very strong sense of passion from this person to you as well. With the High Priestess, I’m getting that you might already get this feeling and you’re clicking on this reading for more confirmation – so I’m here to give you that confirmation that yes, the person on your mind does have feelings for you.

But if you are not here for confirmation, then with the High Priestess, there is also this feeling of being secretive. This person might have been vey secretive in hiding his feelings towards you. Together with the King of Swords, I see logic taking over as compared to emotions. This person is someone who does not believe in love at first sight, his logic weighs heavily against his emotions and maybe this is why you tune into this reading because it might get confusing for you. Because on one hand, with the King of Wands, I see passion and enthusiasm towards you but on the other hand, sometimes, it seems as if he is holding back a lot of his emotions.

He sees you as someone who is almost like a treasure to him, someone that really stands out from the crowd and I just feel like his emotions are very strong towards you. The energy is almost as if they feel like you are too good to be true or that you might not feel the same way about them because they just aren’t as good as you are. He holds you in very high regard, darling, because with the Page of Cups, he feels like his cup of offer of love is just too small to something that he knows you are worthy of.

With the 7 of wands, I see him fighting hard against these insecurities of him. And in fact, I see him plucking the courage to take this connection into a higher level. He knows that this is a connection that he really wants and he is willing to fight for this connection. In fact, I see the possibility of the both of you fighting and defending for this connection because both of you know that the other party is worthy of you protecting this connection.

Pile 2:

Tarot: 2 of Cups, Death (Rebirth) [Judgement, Justice, Ace of Pentacles], 7 of Pentacles, Page of Cups, 3 of Cups, 9 of Cups

Oracles: Past-Life Relationship – You have known each other before. / NEW BEGINNINGS / PATIENCE / COMMUNITY / No Place Like Home (50) / To The Sea (7)

To start off, with the Past-Life Relationship as well as the 2 of Cups, I’m getting very strong sense of some kind of soulmate energy (or twin flame, whatever definition you have for it). I’m not exactly getting it as some kind of ex, but I’m getting this sense of someone that you probably know in your past life and have very strong soul ties with this person, if you believe in this saying.

But let’s carry on, with the strong Cups energy, I feel like this person has feelings for you. They do, their emotions for you are running high, to be honest. I see that he sees you as someone who clicks in very well with him, it’s like both of you make very good friends and lovers (if this is brought to a higher level of commitment) at the same time. He is someone who has big dreams about love and relationship with the Nine of Cups – he yearns for this wish fulfilment in his relationships.

But right now, maybe things are a bit stagnant, which is probably why you are currently feeling a little confused at how things are being progressed right now. With the Death card, as well as the butterflies’ imagery on the Community card, I see a major transformation that is occurring in this person right now, which is probably bringing this whole situation into a standstill.

This transformation could be his mindset in how he sees relationship. For some of you, I feel that there has been some experience in his past relationships that make him rethink and re-evaluate the way and his mindset in dealing with relationships. I see that he sees you as someone that is capable of going long-term with him, and maybe in the past, he has never once thought of being in a long-term committed relationship. But upon meeting you, upon interacting with you, he sees it as a possibility. For others, there might be a past energy (possibly an ex, or just someone from the past) returning and he is now trying to “settle” it, clean up those energies, so that he is capable of bringing back that balance between the both of you. He sees you as someone who doesn’t tolerate nonsense, really, you are probably someone who is very clear on your own boundaries, and you would definitely not tolerate any lingering feelings or even slight interaction with exes or past energies. So, as he ends these negative energies, he is attempting to bring back the balance so that he can make that offer to you – this offer, I do see a long-term commitment growing. It’s going to be a start of a solid foundation in this connection.

So darling, I understand that you might feel frustrated, things seem to be progressing but now things just come to a standstill and you are confused at why is this happening. Understand that he sees you as someone that he is comfortable with, he can be at home with and that really changes him. It’s a major transformation, I have to say, that high level of emotions and even love for you has changed him and he wants to change himself for the better because he knows that you are worthy of it and you deserve this better version of him. Have patience with him and in this connection and trust that new beginnings are on its way. He does have feelings for you, but he needs time to get his life sorted out before he can start this new journey with you.

Pile 3:

Tarot: The Star, 6 of Cups, The World [Queen of Wands, 5 of Swords, The High Priestess], Ace of Pentacles, Strength

Oracles: Trust – This situation is calling you to have faith. / VOYAGE / POTENTIAL / Tick-Tock (30) / Orphaned (5) / A Leg Up (34)

Okay, I was very confused at the start of this reading to be honest, because on one hand, it seems like he does have feelings for you and that he sees a potential in this connection but then on the other hand, I am getting a very strong vibe of wanting freedom.

So let’s first talk about this person, with The World as well as Voyage, I see him as someone who loves to travel. He likes to go places to places, and it’s kind of like he would have travelling plans almost every year, that kind of love for travel. I see him as someone who craves for freedom as well with the Queen of Wands, he loves the feeling of being free, not being trapped or stuck in one place and just simply having fun by himself. At the same time, I see him as someone who is very independent, like it’s almost as if shouting out to me that he is okay being all by himself, being the bachelor that he is currently right now, with nothing much to worry about and even more not being worried of being tied down by a committed relationship.

In fact, I see him being very confused about his own feelings towards you as well with the 5 of Swords as well as The High Priestess, and this kinds of draws me back to the question, I feel like yes he does have feelings for you, and these feelings might even be deeper than you can imagine. As previously mentioned, he is someone who really places great emphasis on his freedom, someone who might have flings here and there, but just won’t be so keen on settling down. But when you came into the picture, it caused a great conflict for him, he senses this great potential to start a relationship with you and in fact, with the Strength card, he is actually holding back a lot of feelings for you.

He sees you as The Star, someone who brought in renewed hope and light into his life, someone who gave him great possibility in believing in love again. And I do see him as someone who might have gone through rough times in his past relationships (romantic or even family) which could have led to this possible wanting to be free and not wanting to settle down kind of personality. He sees you as someone who is brighten up his life upon entering it, which is way, he is probably currently confused as well. He yearns for independence but he sees being in a committed relationship with you. He yearns for freedom but he sees himself starting something long term with you. It’s kind of like there is this strong pull towards you especially with the 6 of Cups, coming up together with The Star, it’s almost as if you are the one for him.

I feel like currently, you are asked to have faith in this situation. Tuning into this reading I’m assuming that you do have feelings for him as well and you are confused about things, but I just want to say, he is currently confused as well. He doesn’t know what he really wants or what he should do next. Is he willing to give up his freedom and independence for you? But I do see that in time to come, things will be changing and you will get the answer soon enough. So darling, yes he does have feelings for you but whether or not, he will truly go within himself to find the answers to his feelings for you is up to him entirely.

Pile 4:

Tarot: 10 of Cups, 10 of Swords [The Fool, 8 of Wands, King of Wands, Page of Swords, The moon, Queen of Wands], The Lovers, Queen of Swords, 2 of Cups

Oracles: Engagement – Your love life is ascending to a higher level of commitment. / COMMUNITY / FULFILLMENT / FREEDOM / No Place Like Home (50) / Loyal Heart (35)

Okay to be honest, I’m seeing this as like you guys already being in a relationship or somewhat a committed situation. So, if you are not, maybe this pile won’t resonate with you and you can click off to pick another pile! But if you are interested in knowing more, you can just see what resonates and take it, and leave those that doesn’t in peace!

So, moving on, with the 10 of Cups, The Lovers, 2 of Cups, Loyal Heart, King of Wands + Queen of Wands, it’s really shouting out to me that you guys are really in a relationship or that at least the feelings are mutual and it’s of equal levels. Especially with the King of Wands and the Queen of Wands, you guys have very strong mutual attraction and passion for one another.

Okay but with the 10 of Swords, I see things that are worrying you. I’m not seeing a betrayal or anything but I just see a lot of worries in you, in this relationship. Even though it’s not the 9 of Swords, but I get that energy, that vibe to be honest, I’m seeing you losing sleep over something. This can be something small but it’s major in your eyes, you are worrying and being panicky about this particular situation.

Now, what is interesting is The Moon card here, I see that there are fears within this relationship. There are fears or just things that are not being stated clearly or seen clearly and it’s creating this spiralling effect of like you losing sleep over this particular situation. One such situation that I see is that maybe he is this Fool energy whereby he tends to “disappear” halfway through text messages or through the day and you just cannot find him. The Fool is a rather immature energy and that he does value his freedom in any kinds of relationships, he doesn’t want to be tied down too tightly and that there is this reckless feeling. In a way or so, maybe this relationship progressed too quickly, and now you are starting to wonder if it will continue on because things that started off too quickly ends quickly as well, right? Well, in a way, yes but honestly, with the number of Cups energy as well as Wands energy, I see an equal level in terms of love and passion. Yes, maybe this whole relationship did start off as something passionate, as something more to the attraction end, but I feel like he does have very strong feelings for you and that this is something that gives him the fulfilment that he yearns for in any relationships (especially if he really does embodies The Fool energy).

Or another situation could be that you are afraid that there is someone hidden behind the scenes. With the Page of Swords and the Queen of Wands, I see that you might be fearing that there is someone younger than you, more intellectual than you in the situation. Someone that you feel like is there but you just cannot seem to “see” her. Now, I’m not saying that you are delusional or anything but it just feels like maybe things have progressed too smoothly for you and advanced too quickly for you that you are feeling that sense of uneasiness within you. Maybe there is really such a person but this person might just turn out to be a friend or a colleague. So I see that with the Queen of Swords, especially, you are asked to speak the truth. Communicate clearly with your partner and speak of these fears that you have because I really do see your partner caring for you. They have very strong feelings for you and I just see you guys being so comfortable with each other already that maybe sometimes, you might neglect the other party because you just feel like “she will understand” or “he doesn’t need to know because I know he doesn’t mind”. But really, communication is key in every relationship and this is something that you have to get your mind off.

So darling, I do see that he has feelings for you, strong feelings in fact but it is only right to keep up the communication with one another and not let this relationship go down to waste because of miscommunication.

The Deck Bonding Challenge

One of the ideas I tossed around when I was looking at challenges to create for myself for the #100DaysOfTarot, one of the ideas I tossed around was a deck bonding challenge; to take my “Start Here” material and organize it into small chunks that someone could do daily while still using their deck for regular readings. I initially scrapped the idea since I don’t have a new deck I’m working with at the moment but my girlfriend asked me to write the challenge out for her to do with her deck. 

If you want to see someone doing this challenge in June, I’d recommend checking out @petrosophia, she’s kickass. I’m biased of course but she’s also just objectively a very reflective person, which is helpful if you want someone to follow along with. 

Before You Start

I’d recommend reading all of my “Start Here” section but especially my posts on not learning tarot cards like flashcards and on reading vertically. 

The important concepts here are the narrative approach to the Major Arcana/the suits and, well, reading vertically - taking all of the 1′s then all of the 2′s and so on. 

What to Do Each Day

On days the prompt says to ask the deck a question, shuffle and draw three cards. Use the book to look up the meanings if you need to. Make any notes you might want to keep or make a post about it. 

On the other days, select the cards listed and start with your first impressions. What story do you think is being told? What’s the emotion of each card? What’s the action? After you’ve made notes of your first impressions, make notes of the book’s definitions for each card as well. When you’ve completed a suit - say all of the pentacles - write a brief one or two sentence summary of the story being told. When working vertically, jot down three keywords after you’ve finished taking notes. 

For the two signifier questions, feel free to either select one and reflect on it or shuffle and draw one then reflect on it. Or hell do both. See how closely your pick matches you deck. 

You might also consider combining these prompts with the SOAP Journaling framework. 

Why Do This Challenge

The benefit I see with this challenge is that it allows you to develop a framework understanding of your deck over the course of several weeks which I think is more approachable for a lot of folks. I’m also just a firm believer that a little structure goes a long way. 

But feel free to play with this structure. Do all the Pentacles at once if you please. Maybe you need to break down the Vertical Reading into smaller chunks. Maybe you’re using a playing card deck so you just omit all of the Major Arcana. This is just a starting point. 

And I’m excited to see what y’all do with it!

New beginnings

Today you will find it easy to be yourself. However, you should work alone and for your own benefit. It is not that you are feeling hostile or resentful of others becoming involved in your work, but that you do not want to be dependent upon others for support or encouragement. Your life is no doubt filled with projects that you have begun at various times. You may not always be aware of their significance, and you may be acting quite unconsciously in some ways, but these projects are important nevertheless. Now is a good time to take stock of them and to examine what state they are in. If you must make new beginnings in your life to adjust imbalances that have developed, this is the time to do it. Otherwise put most of your energy into firming up the activities you are presently involved in.

The interpretation above is for your transit selected for today:

Sun trine Mars,  exact at 09:34,activity period from 30 April 2019 until 2 May 2019

Reversed Queen of Pentacles Meaning

When the Queen of Pentacles becomes disconnected with the energy of her suit, she can become someone who is completely self-absorbed. Gone is the upright generosity in her suit, she can be selfish and even envious when others successes seem greater than hers. Upright, her home is usually a sanctuary for her guests, but reversed it may instead be slovenly - she loses the ability to take care of herself and her surroundings. Her focus on the material may manifest negatively, making her greedy, and yet lacking in her sense of duty and capability. How can she ground herself again, how can she re-enter the sacred relationship she naturally feels with the earth and all its living creatures?

The Queen of Pentacles reversed may also indicate that you have misplaced priorities, which may eventually be compromising to your future. You may find yourself distracted and unable to focus on your work and your long-term goals. You could also be busy working on projects without taking time to consult experienced people who can guide you away from mistakes. This card could also suggest those that you care for are now ready to become accountable and responsible for their own lives. You must learn to let go and give them their independence - the role of caregiver is most rewarding when your loved ones have grown strong enough to make their own decisions.

Happy readings! Let me know if you have any questions!

[vika-myrkvidr]

Get to know me...

Thanks, @witchy-yandere for tagging me. This looks fun!

1. Are you a religious witch? Which religion? Yes, I am. I’m currently simply nature based, as I’m still looking for what feels right for me. 2. What is your preferred herb? I love roses! 3. What is your preferred gem?  Moonstone. The real ones and the “fake” ones, as they are pretty as well. 4. Do you do divination? Which kind? Yes, I do. I use Tarot, Lenormand and Oracle Cards. Runes and Ogham Sticks as well. 5. Favourite Tarot card? Hmm, Queen of the Cups (because of my INFJ) and the Queen of the Pentacles (Earth Sign). But The Empress as well, because for me this card kind of combines the two Queens. 6. To Curse or not to Curse? I personally do not curse, but I would never judge someone who does. If I want to get to someone who wronged me, I simply do a spell to let them see their actions and what harm they’ve done...and then I hope they change for the better. 7. Do you have a familiar? Not yet, but I like to have one in the future. 8. Favourite candle colour? Red, because it’s my favourite colour. But since the question specifically asked the candle colour I name white, silver and green as well. 9. Favourite rune? The Berkana/ Beorc rune, it’s the birch rune. 10. Do you celebrate the solstices, full moons, etc? Yes, I do. I celebrate the wheel of the year. And for the moon events, I try to do something special as well, but this doesn’t have to be something big. 11. Do you wear a pentacle? I’ve got one pair of copper earrings, but I rarely wear them. 12. Do you have a broom? No, I don’t have one. 13. Do you have a pendulum? Currently, I don’t have one, but I’m looking for one, that I like. 14. Do you have an athame? No, I do not have one. 15. How often do you meditate? I meditate nearly every day. 16. Do you do yoga? Yes, I do. I love yoga and I need it as well because if I skip my daily yoga routine, I’m really not flexible and tense in my muscles. 17. What's your favourite herbal tea? I go with rose tea (again, I know). 18. Do you support manipulation magic? Like love spells? Hmm, I personally wouldn’t do a love spell, I would rather do a spell to attract love into my life. For me, there’s a huge difference. With the first approach, I would force something that’s maybe not meant to happen, or I would force to speed things up wich is bad as well, because my partner or I might not be ready at this point of our lives. With the second kind of spell, I would simply make a request to send someone my way that I need to know in order to further develop myself. 19. How many altars do you have? Two. One is at home and the second one I use to travel with. 20. Do you do magic outside often? Not as often as I would wish because I currently don’t have a garden or balcony. 21. Can you read palms or tea leaves? Yes, I can, but I definitely need to practice more. 22. Would you ever open your own metaphysics shop? Uhh, that would be fun to do! 23. Is your third eye open? I would say, it’s currently in training. 24. Do you like Astrology? What’s your sign? Yes, I do. My star sign is Capricorn, my ascendant is Virgo and my moon sign is Gemini. 25. Favourite flower? Or Tree? Flower: rose. Tree: birch. But there are so many more beautiful flowers and trees! 26. Do you have an animal guide? I have a spirit companion who visits me sometimes in a wolf form. 27. What's your favourite kind of magic? I love green/ kitchen magic, simple everyday magic, divination. Spirit work and sigils. I rarely find the time to do long spellwork. 28. What time do you feel most like a witch? Hmm, that’s a difficult question, because I can not say that I feel more or less like a witch when I do divination or simply live my life. A witch is who I am and there is nothing “special” to it when I do kitchen magic. It’s who I am and anchored deep within my soul. I can say that I feel more powerful around full moons or when I work with sigils or certain spirits. 29. Are you out of the broom closet? No, not really at least. My mother and my sister might suspect, but they haven’t asked and I don’t want to push it. 30. Are you a hereditary witch? Or self-discovered? Self-discovered. 31. Are you in a coven? Or solitary? I’m a solitary witch. 32. Do you want to be in a coven? How big? No, I don’t think that I want to be in a coven. But I’d love to be in contact with more witches, on social media and in real life as well. 33. When did you become a witch? I’ve always read about witchcraft and old religions and nature...and one day, as I discovered more and more, I simply knew that I was a witch. I needed some weeks to actually realise this, but then I had found a name for what I did my whole life unconsciously. I did work with Tarot Cards and could kind of feel spirits all my life. I found the name about half a year ago. 34. Do you make your own spells? Yes, I do. I rarely use the exact same spell I find somewhere as I think they work better when I’ve made them more like I do mine. Not better, just different and then they feel more like me. 35. Do you make your own sigils? Yes, I do make sigils. 36. Why did you choose this path? I don’t think that I exactly choose this path. I feel more like, that I always knew this path and now I just put a name on it and work more conscious (but intuitive) and awake instead of unconscious. 37. What's your favourite element? The earth. 38. Do you do any misc. magic? Sorry, I don’t know what this means. Does somebody know this? Then please tell me and I can answer this question and be a bit wiser. 39. Magic or things you will never do? Curse and use my power for “bad” things. I want to do good things in this world. 40. The strangest way a spell backfired? Thank the gods, that this has not happened to me. Hopefully, it never will happen. I tag @spooniewitches, @alpinewitch, @lazycrazywitch , @recreationalwitchcraft and @anenglishwitch. You don’t have to if you don’t want to. Every other person can do this questions-and-answer thing about your witchy path if you want to. Have fun! I had fun answering these questions! Love, Vyra xxx

Do you make your own sigils? Usually use others but I have made one for protection and happiness. 36. Why did you choose this path? I’ve always felt drawn to it. I tried to turn away due to being in a Christian family. For the longest time I tried to find out what kind of Christian I am but gave up after years of nothing. Eventually I found the blog of a kitchen witch while just searching the Web and I decided to try it out at least once. I fell in love instantly and never went back. But I had conflict with my religion and I didn’t know what to do. That was until i was introduced to Christopaganism which opened a whole new to path to me.

Horoscopes and Tarot Overview for February 18, 2017       

                           from manylighthands.com

The Moon stays in intense Scorpio until this afternoon, with an overnight trine to Chiron that fills our emotional reservoir with images of healing and compassion in our dreams. Take note of what you saw and how you feel when you wake.

The Sun moves into dreamy, devoted Pisces at 6:34 AM EST, staying there until March 20th. This next month we feel, we experience everything with our whole being. We are empathetic, emotional, caring, loving and extremely intuitive. Our sights are sent inward to explore our spirituality and the level of our self-awareness. During this time, we need show our vulnerability yet stay strong enough to see if someone is taking advantage of our good nature. Stay active and involved, no wallowing or feeling defeated.

The Moon moves into Sagittarius and immediately squares the new Pisces Sun at 2:34 PM. This aspect is asking us to review our tasks and weed out useless items, plus get moving on things we have let slip through. We get to look at where are and where we want to be and then figure out the path there.

Tonight, the Moon semi-squares Pluto bringing some solid earth to the day which may help us feel a bit more settled and firm. Be inspired to make a new list and stick to it until it’s accomplished.

Tarot Cards of the Day: The Wheel of Fortune, the Queen of Cups and the 2 of Pentacles-how appropriate I pull the Wheel and This Queen for our transition into motherly, emotive, watery Pisces today. Look for new opportunities to enact self-care so you can continue to take care of the world. Stay balanced, and insightful-make sure to ground yourself and stay financially solvent during this period when our heads will most certainly be in the clouds.

Chakras: solar plexus and root

Crystals: yellow citrine and garnet

Aromatherapy: cinnamon, orange, ginger and vanilla

Yoga: sun salutations with inversions and a long meditative savasana

New post on Witches Of The Craft® THE LAWS from Lady Sheba by ladyoftheabyss THE LAWS from Lady Sheba Your High Priestess In the Magic Circle, the words, commands, and every wish of the High Priestess are law. She is the earthly, living representative of our Gracious Goddess. She must be obeyed and respected in all things. She is Our Lady and above all others, a queen in the highest sense of the word. All female coveners must curtsy whenever they come before her and say, "Blessed Be." All male coveners must bend the knee and give her a kiss on the right cheek and say, "Blessed Be." Your High Priest He is the earthly, living representative of the Great Horned God and in the Magic Circle, He commandeth the respect due to one who is a Magus, a Lord Counselor, and father. The Laws 1. The Law was made and ardane of old. 2. The Law was made for the Wicca to advise and help in their troubles. 3. The Wicca should give due worship to the Gods and obey Their will, which They ardane, for it was made for the good of the Wicca, as the worship of the Wicca is good for the Gods. For the Gods love the brethren of the Wicca. 4. As a man loveth a woman by mastering her, 5. So the Wicca should love the Gods by mastering them. 6. And it is necessary that 0 (Magic Circle) which is the temple of the Gods, should be duly cast and purified that it may be a fit place for the Gods to enter. 7. And the Wicca should be properly prepared and purified to enter into the presence of the Gods. 8. With love and worship in their hearts, they shall raise power from their bodies to give power to the Gods. 9. As has been taught of old. 10. For in this way only may man have a communion with the Gods, for the Gods cannot help men without the help of man. 11. And the High Priestess shall rule Her Coven as the representative of the Goddess. 12. And the High Priest shall support Her as the representative of the God. 13. And the High Priestess shall choose whom She will, if he have sufficient rank, to be Her High Priest. 14. For, as the God himself kissed Her feet in the Fivefold salute, laying His power at the feet of the Goddess, because of Her youth and beauty, Her swetness and kindness, Her wisdom and Her justice, Her humility and gentleness and generosity, 15. So He resigned all His power to Her. 16. But the High Priestess should ever mind that all power comes from Him. 17. It is only lent, to be used wisely and justly. 18. And the greatest virtue of a High Priestess be that She recognizes that youth is necessary to the representative of the Goddess. 19. So will She gracefully retire in favor of a younger woman, should the Coven so decide in council. 20. For the true High Priestess realizes that gracefully surrendering the pride of place is one of the greatest virtues. 21. And that thereby will She return to that pride of place in another life, with greater power and beauty. 22. In the old days, when Witches extended far, we were free and worshipped in all the greatest temples. 23. But, in these unhappy times, we must celebrate our Sacred Mysteries in secret. 24. So be it ardane, that none but the Wicca may see our mysteries, for our enemies are many and torture loosens the tongue of men. 25. So be it ardane, that no Coven shall know where the next Coven bide. 26. Or who its members be, save only the Priest and Priestess and the Messenger. 27 And there shall be no communication between them, save only by the Messenger of the Gods, or the Summoner. 28. And only if it be safe may the Covens meet in some safe place for the Great Festivals. 29. And while there, none shall say whence they come, nor give their true names. 30. To this end, that if any be tortured, in their agony, they may not tell if they do not know. 31. So be it ardane, that no one shall tell anyone, not of the Craft, who be of the Wicca, or give any names, or where any abide, or in any way tell anything which can betray any of us to our faces. 32. Nor may he tell where the Covendom be. 33. Or the Covenstead. 34. Or where the meetings be. 35. And if any break these Laws, even under torture, the Curse of the Goddess shall be upon them, so they may never be reborn on earth, and may they remainm where they belone, in the Hell of the Christians. 36. Let each High Priestess govern Her Coven with justice and love, with the help and advice of the High Priest and the Elders, always heeding the advice of the Messenger of the Gods if He comes. 37. She will heed all complaints of all Brothers and strive to settle all differences among them. 38. But it must be recognized that there will always be people who will ever strive to force others to do as they will. 39. These are not necessarily evil. 40. And they oft have good ideas, and such ideas should be talked over in council. 41. But, if they will not agree with their Brothers or if they say: 42. "I will not work under this High Priestess." 43. It hath ever been the Old Law, to be convenient for the Brethren, and to avoid disputes. 44. Any of the third may claim to found a new Coven, because they live over a league from the Covenstead or are about to do so. 45. Anyone living within the Covendom and wishing to form a new Coven shall tell the Elders of their intentions and on the instand avoid their dwelling and remove to a new Covendom. 46. Members of the old Coven may join the new one when it is formed, but if they do they must utterly avoid the old Coven. 47. The Elders of the old and new Covens should meet in peace and brotherly love to decide the new boundaries. 48. Those of the Craft who live outside both Covens may join either indifferent, but not both. 49. Though all may, if the Elders agree, meet for the Great Festivals, if it be truly in peace and brotherly love. 50. But splitting the Coven oft means strife, so for this reason these Laws were made of old, and may the Curse of the Goddess be on any who disregard them! SO BE IT ARDANE. 51. If you would keep a book (your Black Book) let it be in your own hand of write, let Brothers and Sisters copy what they will, but never let the book out of your hands and never keep the writings of another. 52. For if it be in their hand of write, they may be taken and engained. 53. Le each guard his own writings, and destroy them whenever danger threatens. 54. Learn as much as you may by heart, and when danger is past, rewrite your book when it be safe. 55. For this reason, if any die, destroy their book, an they have not been able to. 56. For, an it be found, 'tis clear proof against them. 57. And our oppressors know well: "Ye may not be a Witch alone." 58. So all their kin and friend be in danger of torture. 59. So destroy everything not necessary. 60. If your book be found on you, 'tis clear proof against you alone. You may be engained. 61. Keep all thoughts of the Craft from your mind. 62. If the torture be too great to bear, say: "I will confess. I cannot bear this torture. What do you want me to say?" 63. If they try to make you talk of the Brotherhood, do not. 64. But if they try to make you speak of impossibilities such as flying through the air, consorting with the Christian Devil, or sacrificing children or eating men's flesh, 65. To obtain relief from the torture, say, "I hold an evil dream, I was beside myself, I was crazed.: 66. Not all the magistrates are bad; if there be any excuse, they may show mercy. 67. If you have confessed ought, deny it afterwards. Say you babbled under the torture, say you do not know what you said. 68. If you are condemned, fear not. 69. Fear not, the Brotherhood is powerful, they will help you to escape if you stand steadfast. 70. But if you betray ought, there is no hope for you in this life or that to come. 71. Be sure, if steadfast you go to the pyre, drugs will reach you, you will feel naught. You but go to death and what lies beyond. The Ecstasy of the Goddess 72. To avoid discovery, let the working tools be as ordinary things that any may have in their houses. 73. Let the Pentacles be of wax so that they may be broken at once or melted. 74. Have no sword, unless your rank allows you one. 75. Have no names or signs on anything. 76. Write the names or signs on them in ink immediately before consecrating them, and wash it off immediately afterwards. 77. Do not engrave them lest they cause discovery. 78. Let the color of the hilts tell which is which. 79. Ever remember, ye are the "Hidden Children of the Goddess," so never do anything to disgrace them or her. 80. Never boast, never threaten, never say you would wish ill of anyone. 81. If any person, not in the magic circle, speak of the Craft say, "Speak not to me of such, it frightens me. 'Tis eveil luck to speak of it." 82. For this reason: the Christians have their spied everywhere. These speak as if they were well affected to us, as if they would come to our meetings saying, "My mother used to go worship the Old Ones. I would I could go myself." 83. To such as these, ever deny all knowledge. 84. But to others, ever say, "'Tis foolish talk of Witches flying through the air. To do so they must be light as thistledown. And men say that Witches all be so bleary-eyed, old crones, so what pleasure can there be at a Witch meeting such as folks talk on?" 85. And say "Many wise men now say there be no such creatures." 86. Ever make it a jest and in some future time, perhaps, the persecution may die and we may worship our Gods in safety again. 87. Let us all pray for that happy day. 88. May the blessings of the Goddess and God be on all who keep these Laws which are ardane. 89. If the Craft have any Appenage, let all guard it, and help to keep it clear and good for the Craft. 90. And let all justly guard all monies of the Craft. 91. But if any brother truly wrought it, 'tis right they have their pay, and it be just. And this be not taking money for the Art, but for good and honest work. 92. And ever the Christians say, "The laborer is worthy of his hire" but if any brother work willingly for the good of the Craft without pay, 'tis to their greatest honor. SO BE IT ARDANE 93. If there be any quarrels or disputes among the brethren the High Priestess shall straightly convene the Elders and inquire into the matter and they shall hear both sides, first alone, then together. 94. And they shall decide justly, not favoring the one side or the other. 95. Ever recognizing there be people who can never agree to work under others. 96. But at the same time, there be some people who cannot rule justly. 97. To those who ever must be chief, there is one answer. 98. Void the Coven, or seek another one or make a Coven of your own, taking with you those who will go. 99. To those who cannot rule justly the answer be, "Those who cannot bear your rule will leave you." 100. For none may come to meetings with those with whom they are at variance. 101. So, an either cannot agree, "Get hence, for the Craft must ever survive." SO BE IT ARDANE 102. In the olden days, when we had power, we could use the Art against any who ill-treated the Brotherhood. But in these evil days, we must not do so! For our enemies have devised a burning pit of everlasting fire, into which they say their God casteth all the people who worship Him, except it be the very few who are released by their priest's spells and masses. And this be chiefly by giving monies and rich gifts to receive His favor, for their God is ever in need of money. 103. But as our Gods need our aid to make fertility for man and crops, so it is the God of the Christians ever is in need of man's help to search out and destroy us. Their priests ever tell them that any who get our help are damned to this Hell forever, so men be mad with the terror of it. 104. But they make men believe that they may escape this Hell if they give Witches to the tormentors. So for this reason, all be forever spying, thinking, "An I catch but one of the Wicca, I will escape this fiery pit." 105. So for this reason we have our hidels, and men searching long and not finding say, "There be none, or if there be, they be in a far country." 106. But when one of our oppressors dies, or even be sick, ever is the cry, "This be Witches' malice," and the hunt is up again and though they slay ten of their own to one of ours, still they care not. They have countless thousands. 107. While we are few indeed. SO BE IT ARDANE 108. That none shall use the Art in any way to do ill to any. 109. However much they injure us, HARM NONE and now times many believe we exist not. SO BE IT ARDANE 110. That this Law shall ever continue to help us in our plight. No one, however great an injury or injustice they receive, may use the Art in any way to do ill or harm any. But they may, after great consultations with all, use the Art to restrain Christians from harming us or tax others, but only to let or constrain them. 111. To this end, men will say: "Such a one is a mighty searcher out and a persecutor of old women whom they deemeth to be Witches, and none hath done him skith, so they be proof they cannot, or more truly where be none." 112. For all know full well, that so many folk have died because someone had a grudge against them, or were persecuted because they had money or goods to seize, or because they had none to bribe the searchers. And many have died because they were scolding old women. So much that men now say that "only old women are Witches." 113. And this be to our advantage, and turns suspicions away from us. 114. In England and Scotland, 'tis now many a year since a Witch hath died the death. But the misuse of the power might raise the persecution again. 115. So never break this Law, however much you are tempted, and never consent to it being broken in the least. 116. If you know it is being broken, you must work strongly against it. 117. And any High Priestess who consents to its breach must immediately be deposed. "For 'tis the blood of the Brethren they endanger." 118. Do good, an it be safe and only if it be safe. 119. And strictly keep to the old Law. 120. Never accept money for the use of the Art. For money ever smeareth the taker. "'Tis sorcerers and conjurers and priests of the Christians who ever accept money for the use of their Arts. And they sell dwale, and evil loves spells and pardons, so let men escape from their sins." 121. Be not as these. If you accept no money, you will be free from temptation to use the Art for evil courses. 122. All may use the Art for their own advantage, or for the advantage of the Craft, only if you are sure you harm none. 123. But ever let the Coven debate this at length. Only if all be satisfied and none be harmed may the Art be used. 124. If it is not possible to achieve your ends one way, perchance the aim may be achieved by acting in a different way, so as to harm none. May the Curse of the Goddess be on any who breaketh this Law. SO BE IT ARDANE. 125. 'Tis judged lawful if any of the Craft need a house or land and none will sell, to incline the owner's mind so as to be willing to sell, providing it harmeth it not in anyway and the full price is paid, without haggling. 126. Never bargain or cheapen anything whilst you live by the Art. SO BE IT ARDANE. 127. 'Tis the old Law and the most important of all Laws that no one may do anything which will endanger any of the Craft, or bring them into contact with the law of the land, or any of our persecutors. 128. In any disputes between the brethren, no one may invoke any Laws but those of the Craft. 129. Or any tribunal but that of the Priestess, Priest and Elders. And may the Curse of the Goddess be on any who do so. SO BE IT ARDANE. 130. It is not forbidden to say as Christians do: "There be Witchcraft in the land," because our opressors of old make it heresy not to believe in Witchcraft, and so a crime to deny it, which thereby puts you under suspicion. 131. But ever say "I know not of it here, perchance there may be, but afar off - I know not where." 132. But ever speak of those as old crones, consorting with the Devil and riding through the air. 133. But ever say: "But how many men may ride through the air an they be not light as thistledown?" 134. But the Curse of the Goddess be on any who cast any suspicion on any of the Brotherhood. 135. Or who speaks of any real meeting place where any abide. SO BE IT ARDANE. 136. Let the Craft keep books with the names of all herbs which are good for men, and all cures, so all may learn. 137. But keep another book with all the Bales and Apies and let only the Elders and other trustworthy people have this knowledge. SO BE IT ARDANE. 138. Remember the Art is the secret of the Gods and only may be used in earnest and never for show or pride, or vainglory. 139. Magicians and Christians may taunt us saying, "You have no power. Do magic before our eyes. Then only will we believe." Seeking to cause us to betray our Art before them. 140. Heed them not. For the Art is holy, and may only be used in need. And the Curse of the Gods be on any who break this Law. SO BE IT ARDANE. 141. It ever be the way with women, and with men also that they ever seek new love.. 142. Nor should we reprove them for this. 143. But it may be found to the disadvantage of the Craft. 144. As, so many a time it has happened that a High Priest or High Priestess impelled by love, hath departed with their love, that is, they have left the Coven. 145. Now if a High Priestess wishes to resign, they may do so in full Coven. 146. And this resignation is valid. 147. But if they should run off without resigning, who may know if they may not return within a few months. 148. So the Law is: If a High Priestess leaves her Coven, but returns within rthe space of a year and a day, then she shall be taken back and all shall be as before. 149. Meanwhile, if she has a deputy, that deputy shall act as High Priestess for as long as the High Priestess is away. 150. If she returns not at the end of a year and a day, then shall the Coven elect a new High Priestess. 151. Unless there be a good reason to the contrary, the person who has done the work should reap the benefit of the reward. 152. If somebody else is elected, the deputy is made maiden and deputy of the High Priestess. SO BE IT ARDANE. 153. It hath been found that practicing the Art doth cause a fondness between aspirant and tutor, and it is the cause of better results if this be so. 154. But if for any reason this be undesirable, it can easily be avoided by both persons from the outset firmly resolving in their minds that if any such ensure, it shall be that of brother and sister, or parent and child. 155. And it is for this reason that a man may be taught by a woman and a woman by a man and that woman and woman and man and man should never attempt these practices together. 156. And may all the Curses of the Mighty Ones be on any who make such an attempt. SO BE IT ARDANE. 157. Order and discipline must be kept. 158. A High Priestess or a High Priest may and should punish all faults. 159. To this end: all the Craft must receive their correction willingly. 160. All, properly prepared, the culprit kneeling, should be told his fault, and his sentence pronounced. 161. Punishment should be the $ followed by something amusing such as several S S S S, or something of this nature. 162. The bulprit must acknowledge the justice of the punishment by kissing the hand of the Priestess and by kissing the $ on receiving sentence; and again thanking for punishment received. ladyoftheabyss | February 16, 2017 at 4:02 pm | Categories: Wicca, Witchcraft | URL: Comment See all comments Unsubscribe to no longer receive posts from Witches Of The Craft®.

If you are really wanting to go after what you want, desire, need, then you must act aggressively and take charge. Create discipline, a plan to make things work. Otherwise the foundation you have started will collapse beneath you leaving you insecure and feeling you have nothing. Greed and envy will take over.

Hello lovelies~ ♡

This is a pick a card reading for “What are some blessings coming in for me in the upcoming week?” This is a timeless reading and you are meant to see it right now! Please do find peace if it doesn’t resonate with you~ ♡

So take a few minutes to mediate on these 5 piles:

Left to right: 1 – 5

Once you’re ready, just scroll below to find the reading that you have chosen!

You can always leave a comment or simply like the post if it resonates with you, thank you so much~ ♡♡♡

 Pile 1: Sodalite Crystal

Tarot: The World // 9 of Cups // The Emperor

Oracle: GIVE LOVE // HOMEWARD TRAVELLER (21) - Completion, reunion, return // DOLPHIN - Don’t worry, be happy // SELF-RELIANCE - Don’t be afraid to fly solo // OPPORTUNITY // FOCUS // NIGHTINGALE // SWAN

Darling, I feel like there will be opportunities coming in for you, especially when it comes to something that you really like or adore, or just you have simply been working for it but nothing seems to come to fruition. One thing that I’m strongly seeing is that it could be in regards to the arts, something that taps on your creativity and your originality.

I’m seeing that you might be afraid to take that step forward because this might be something that is not so popular, or not so well-liked among your community. Darling, I do feel that there is no need for you to feel afraid of this, I’m seeing that you are asked to be unique, even if it means standing alone in regards to your decision or choice.

In fact, I see you feeling complete somehow, it might be you getting that opportunity to start on this project or even just you having that opportunity to find like-minded people, to build that new community. And to just feel like being at home in regards to this particular interest that not many people understand and because of this no understanding, it made you feel like you were all alone in this world.

Darling, a new opportunity is coming for you and now it’s time for you to place that focus on yourself, on this interest, whatever it is that you have been working hard for and to just want to gain some kind of recognition by the people around you.

It’s time to step forward and to find a new community that acknowledges this interest of yours, darling, there will be a sense of completion coming for you and just feeling so fulfilled in regards to this particular interest. And darling, give love to yourself and this interest of yours, don’t lose hope because others don’t understand you, trust that you would be able to find like-minded people who will support you!

 Pile 2: Amethyst Crystal

Tarot: 7 of Swords, 7 of Wands, The Magician

Oracle: CLEANSING BODY AND SPIRIT // THE HIDDEN WORLDS (38) - Changing consciousness, awareness, extra-sensory perception // DREAMS - Believe in your dreams // ARCHANGEL GABRIEL - Messenger of creativity and hope // FREEDOM // TRUST // HYENA // SPIDER

Darling, I feel like this upcoming week, there will be some sort of getting in touch with your higher self, getting in touch with your intuition and just connecting so much better with your angels. I feel like it’s time for you to cleanse out your energy, to bring in more positivity into your life. And by doing so, I truly see that you would be able to manifest the things that you want into your life, because you simply have the tools and the skills and you are just in that positive position to do so.

One message that I am seeing as well is that you are asked to communicate openly and with much honesty with the people around you. I feel like you haven’t exactly been honest with the people around you (especially) about how you truly feel, or what it is that you truly want. It’s like you don’t really trust them in a sense because you just don’t feel like they would be of any help or if they would even understand you. But darling, your social connections are important with honesty present in them, and I just see that this week to come, you are asked to trust these connections that you have formed and forged along the way.

Free yourself from the idea that people  would forever be deceiving you or would not be truthful to you, because if you are constantly in that thought, you wouldn’t be honest and truthful to others as well. So, it’s kind of like an equal give and take, if it’s a connection that you truly want in your life, hold on to it as you convey your most truthful and honest opinions. I’m honestly only hearing truth as well as honesty.

And this enlightenment or just the idea sparking in you about your social connections can come about after you’ve decided to cleanse out negativity and to welcome positivity into your life. Pay attention to your dreams, darling, I feel like your angels and spirit guides have important messages to you in your dreams and this can allow you to better connect with yourself on a higher and spiritual level!

 Pile 3: Goldstone Crystal

Tarot: Page of Pentacles, The Star, Temperance

Oracle: HEALING WATER // SPIRIT OF SPRING (34) - Freedom, action, power // KNOWLEDGE - Seek knowledge // ANGEL OF MIRACLES - Open your heart and expect a miracle // VOYAGE // RELEASE // DOLPHIN // FIRE ANT

Darling, I feel like this upcoming week is going to be such a healing week for you and honestly, I’m not seeing you just healing, I’m seeing that as you heal, you are manifesting, welcoming happiness, brightness, joyfulness and just so much positivity into your life. I see that you finally know where you stand, if previously you have been through so much in life that you kind of got lost but I see you putting in that effort, that hard work and to just allow yourself to heal from these past hurts.

And this is something that the Universe sees, darling, the Universe saw how much you have put in and now, it’s time for you to receive some sort of miracle. Something that you have always wanted but you just didn’t expect it to come. Take it as a confirmation from the Universe that your hard work is paying off and this tough journey is coming to an end.

In addition, I see that for some of you in this group, there would be some sort of travelling, and I see this more in a sense of gaining knowledge, so it can be in terms of school or work (and even though with the situation now going on in the world), it need not be long-distance travelling, it can just be travelling within your own city, or hometown or country.

It’s like with different restrictions being lifted, you would find yourself wanting to move about more and that as you move around, travel a little, you would gain knowledge from the things that you see, from the places that you visit and the people that you interact with. And I just see this as a start of something new, I see that this gaining of knowledge is only the beginning and that there are definitely more things to come, more things to look forward to.

Darling, this upcoming week, I see you being so happy and just being in your own power, fighting for what you truly want and achieving it. I see that you’ve already healed or you are healing, and just this action alone, is going to bring in so much more for you and this is beautiful!

 Pile 4: Obsidian Crystal

Tarot: Queen of Swords, King of Swords, Queen of Cups

Oracle: FIRE MAGIC // THE LIGHT PRIESTESS (6) - Galactic wisdom, cosmic ritual // ENLIGHTENMENT - Pursue spiritual growth // VACATION - Take time for relaxation and adventure // TAKING RISKS // SIMPLICITY // DRAGON // OWL

Darling, I’m getting a lot of messages from this pile for some reason so we’ll go through them bit by bit. One thing that I am seeing is that a group of you are heading towards something new, something that you've never tried before but something that you do have strong interest and passion towards. This might involve you taking some risks and having some courage to go forward, but I see that you’ve done your research and I would say you are rather prepared to go forward in this particular project.

And darling, I’m just seeing you being so emotionally fulfilled this week upon taking on this project that you have always been wanting to go forth (but just somehow hesitated because of fear or lack of research and just many other reasons). I feel like you are wise enough to make this decision and no matter how big a risk it is, you are sort of prepared to take it and to just go for it, so darling, this week, don’t hesitate, if it’s something that you truly want and have prepared well for it!

For another group of you, I’m more so seeing that you are asked to take time off, it’s like 2 extreme messages coming in for the same pile. But for this group, I feel like you have already been working hard on something and now, it’s time for you to see the magic work. It’s time for you to simply focus on yourself right now, take a break and just simply allow the situation to unfold itself.

I feel like for this group, it’s time for you to really step back and sometimes, it takes courage to actually step back, you know. Because it’s like you are afraid that things would go haywire once you let go of control, or that things won’t be able to go your way because you are not there to steer it into the right direction.

But I see that you are asked to allow things to unfold naturally, if it ends up in a different direction from where you wanted it to be, it’s going to come as a surprise but it’s going to be something that you might actually welcome. So, why not let the Universe take over the wheel for now, and just allow yourself to relax and to enjoy yourself for this little bit of time before you continue charging ahead.

Now, for a small group of you, I’m seeing a strong love message coming in because I swear I randomly shuffled and picked the cards and we have the Queen of Swords and the King of Swords, so I’m sensing that there might be some sort of interaction with a strong soulmate connection here. Together with the Queen of Cups, there is a lot of loving energy, strong fiery passion that might be coming in for the week ahead as well (but if you are truly interested in love messages, you can check out my other pick-a-card-reading for love)!

 Pile 5: Rose Quartz Crystal

Tarot: 3 of Cups, 4 of Swords, The Lovers

Oracle: LISTENING TO WISDOM // THE SECRET OF CAMELOT (12) - The authority of spirit // COMPETITION - Summon courage and self-confidence // INTUITION - Trust your intuition // NEW BEGINNINGS // THRIVING // ELK // LION

Darling, one strong message that I am getting is that it’s time for you to trust your intuition, your spirit guides, your angels, and yourself. If there’s something that you’ve been doubtful about because you just feel like it’s not right for you, leave it. If there’s something that you’ve always wanted to go forth but people have been holding you back with all sorts of reasons and hence you hesitated, leave those people behind and just charge ahead.

I see that in this upcoming week, you are asked to take action, you are asked to be courageous, to be fearless and to simply be the king or the queen. Darling, there is something new waiting for you and it’s going to be something that you wanted, or that you’ve prayed for, or even if it’s unexpected, you’re going to love it.

Because I feel like you have been held back by certain people, by certain comments or just fearful of the future and that’s why you are constantly stuck in between needing to make a decision - whether you should move forward or whether you should just let go - and it’s creating a lot of doubt in regards to your own capabilities.

But darling, this upcoming week is really here to encourage you to be fearless, to be courageous, to be strong and just being able to trust in yourself, believe in yourself that you have the power to attain what it is that you truly want.

Darling, this week, only believe in yourself when it comes to your dreams, your hopes and just things that you truly want. Asking for opinions is something that you can do as a mere guidance but at the end of the day, you, yourself, have to make that decision for yourself. Others can give you their opinions but at the end of the day, it’s easy for them to step back and say “hey, you made this choice yourself so you can’t blame me if you missed out an opportunity”.

So, why give others the power to dictate your life, when you yourself can stand up for yourself as long as you choose to believe and trust your own intuition in this particular situation or matter that you truly feel for.

Time to find out which tribe will earn reward in the form of an advantage at the next challenge!

First, let’s introduce our judges!

The winner of House of Shade: All-Stars and queen of graphics, SHELBY! Shelby didn’t have time to write an intro but I can tell you that she’s hilarious and a huge bitch.

From House of Shade X and House of Shade: Ace of Pentacles, NICOLE!

I'm Nicole. I can't leave this community because my hatred of myself runs too deeply in my veins and this is the perfect way to torture myself. I never win anything and I'm an impartial bitch so I didn't even look at the cast list.

And a newbie to the Shade ORG community and fellow Koreaboo, ERIC!

Hi I'm eric! Some of you know me and are shitting your pants right now, but most of you are probably asking yourselves who tf I am. I played one season in the community and made jury but I flopped so I am not the most relevant. I hope you guys are shook this season because I am watching your every move in the VL! :)

Now let’s take a look at your flags!

Let’s get into these scores!

SHELBY

FUYU: Fuyu...guys.....like. I'm disappointed. You could have done so much better. Like good effort cause I can just imagine y'all being like "OMG LETS PUT "THE LEGENDS" ON IT" and I feel like there was probably more of a group effort. But like....guys it's still pretty fucking ugly. But like extra creative points for putting images of yalls faces on it and ya names in an almost cute font. The color scheme needs work the most. Like I'm horrified. But it's not the worst flag I've ever seen in my life so, congrats? I still fucking hate it though. 6/10 for effort cause it's not just black and white 6/10 for creativity cause you tried. But it needs work.

HARU: Haru I'm like....really disappointed. Because like there is no colour here. I mean you get creativity points for drawing it yourself. But it's so bland. Like so so so so bland. Like I wish I had more to say but I don't. Like I'm just....im sorry. It's kinda unfair for all of y'all to make one person just do this on their own too. At least when it's a graphic people can add in input. But it honestly feels like y'all just shoved this task on one person. Which isn't cool. 2/10 for effort since y'all put it on one person 4/10 for creativity cause at least that one person tried.

Running total: 12 points to Fuyu, 6 points to Haru

NICOLE

FUYU: This actually looks like a tribe flag! The color scheme is a little freaky but I don't mind it, I like how everyone is represented clearly and it looks like its a finished product! Not gonna lie the photoshopping of your heads is a little freaky and whoever did that should be fired because you cut off hair and were a complete mess. YOU LOST POINT ON THAT YOU FLOPS. But other than that, it's a good effort and very well constructed with one theme. Creativity: 7 Effort: 8

HARU: I love when people make flags from scratch, this is a super cute effort on your part! However as well drawn as it is, it looks a mess. The mountains are going through the heads of the people making me believe the people OR the mountains were a last minute addition when you noticed your flag was bland. I don't really know what any of you look like but this looks like a first draft of a comic book not a tribe flag. Creativity: 7 Effort: 7

ERIC

FUYU: I love the design of this poster! It is neat as well as the other tribes poster. But as I said with Haru's flag when I praised them for going beyond the norm, It's often that you see cast photos or the display players you have in say a tumblr survivor game. But I can't lower your score that much and not feel bad because there is always something to look at. The other thing however that confused me was the names. At first, I had a little trouble finding out who was who, and eventually I was able to find out. Otherwise, it is a nicely designed and great looking flag. You should be proud. The reason that I am giving this the same amount as effort points as Haru is because it seems a bit too easy to just take cast photos and the game logo. I would of enjoyed to see new photos instead of the same photos you see in the wiki. However, its easier for more people to work on it together. With these reasons, I think this was worthy of a 6. Creativity: 7 Effort: 6

HARU: I did not expect that someone would be drawing for their flag. When I see this challenge performed, most people just add a bunch of images and cast photos and compile them, and this is unique. What keeps me from giving this a 10 is that there is a lot of white space and I didn't see that the red paint was mountains and that it ran through the players' faces. It is a very well designed flag. I love how every player has such specific detailing from the outfits to the face and I can tell who is who. It's a very neat and organized flag. I only would give this a 5 because although it must of taken SO MUCH TIME to draw all the people, it's not like everyone on the tribe can all meet up in real life and draw it together, so it seems like some people on the tribe haven't really participated as much as those who drew the flag.
