Gideon’s Challenge

Anacortes

I am longing
for sand
and salt water
and beautiful
misty mornings
wet and foggy
cold and quiet
other than
the scream
of seagulls
and the quiet lap
of water
against rocks
and seagrass
mounds

❤️ Self Care Saturday (On a Sunday)

These Saturday readings are (not usually) bearing in on any one thing or event in my life, as the question used is asking for a more general outlook. This is a self care exercise, and is not meant as a predictive reading… although that, too, happens on occasion.

The question is… What do I need to focus for self-care through the week ahead?

Self-Care Saturday Tarot Reading with Todd Alcott's Horror Tarot and House of Shadows Lenormand Samhain Edition

EarthEight of Wands – It’s time to start adding more physical activity back into your life. Even if it wears you out. Do it anyway. Building back your stamina is an important part or your recovery.

AirThe High Priestess – Instead of relying so heavily on logic, allow your intuition to hold sway this week. Not everything has to be reasoned out and strategized.

WaterKing of Cups – Get as much time in with Gideon as you can manage right now. You both need it for your emotional well-being.

FireThe Hanged Man Enjoy the lull while you have it. A couple weeks from now, and you’ll be struggling to catching your breath, let alone able to enjoy any free time.

WaningShip and Dog – Doing things for (and going out of your way for) others needs to be avoided this week. Just say no.

WaxingCandy Apple and Snake – Your tastebuds are coming back! Enjoy! But,watch out you don’t overindulge too much or your stomach will turn against you.
