Tarot Yokai, Silver Acorn Tarot, Red Raven Tarot, and Halloween Affirmation Cards

October 22

Today’s meditation was ten minutes long, and was focused on the message in today’s cards, which is…

Four of Swords (Aosagibi) – Listen to your body and what your body needs.  If you feel old and tired, it’s okay to rest. The old blue heron lingers, passing from life to afterlife, but bothers no one. So too can you bother no one. Don’t get worked up. Don’t worry or stress.  Don’t allow negative emotions or the push and shove of ambition to hurt your healing progress. Listen to your body, and rest when you need it.

Today’s meditation was ten minutes long, and was focused on the message in today’s cards, which is…

Queen of Cups – Instead of beating yourself up for being ill and needing rest, give yourself the love and encouragement that you need. Do the things that help nurture you back to help including eating when you need to eat, doing your breathing exercises to keep your lungs healthy, and making sure you do the little self-care things that help such as the salt water rinses, Nyquil before bed, etc. Be kind to yourself.

Today’s meditation was ten minutes long, and was focused on the message in today’s cards, which is…

Three of Cups and Three of Coins – It’s nobody’s fault that you feel like crap so make sure that you aren’t taking it out on others today. Instead, ask for help when you need it and just enjoy the fact that there’s someone there for you during the times you’re awake. You are no longer contagious, so lean into the help being offered.

This is the season
I love the most
with spooky decor
and lots of ghosts
and I get to
dress up
the house and yard
with spooky things
for kids to walk by
when they come
on by
on halloween night
when they
Trick or Treat

The Oval

So beautiful
blue like the sky
the little put put
goes driving by
with tiny taillights
and big round eyes
and sweet oval window
and a whole lot of shine
After years and years
I still can’t deny
I’m a bug lover
at heart
It’s just
so damned fly.

The Recovery

I can see the light
at the end of the tunnel
fuzzy
and indistinct
as energy returns
in fragmented pieces
a little
at a time
to be frittered away
too quickly
and sleep is needed
once more
to recharge
and try again

Finding the Positive for October 19 – 21

Diablo Tarot, Romantically Yours Tarot, The Hand Drawn Tarot, and Halloween Affirmation Cards

October 19

Today’s meditation was ten minutes long, and was focused on the message in today’s cards, which is…

The Hermit – Abundance isn’t always about money.  Sometimes? It’s about giving yourself what you need most and having the ability to do just that.  What you need most right now is some alone time. Burrow under the covers and let the Covid run its course, there’s no where you need to go today and no one you need to see, and your greatest show of prosperity is that you can, in fact, take this time for yourself.

Today’s meditation was ten minutes long, and was focused on the message in today’s cards, which is…

Four of Swords – The Four of Swords card is all about rest and recovery. Down time, and recuperation. Everything pulled here from the affirmation card to the meditative blurb from my meditation timer is all about rest. They say… you might be starting to feel a bit better, but you need to rest today. Rest and let yourself recover a bit more. What you want to do today can be put off til tomorrow or the next, and now is the time to procrastinate.

Today’s meditation was ten minutes long, and was focused on the message in today’s cards, which is…

Eight of Swords – Don’t ignore the warning signs of depression or its symptoms. Doing so will only end up biting you on the ass. Willful ignorance won’t save you, it’ll just let you play at being oblivious for a little while before things smack you in the face. Instead of trying to pretend everything’s fine, acknowledge what you’re feeling, and the signs and symptoms that arise, so that you can begin to counter act them in an effort to mitigate the worst of it… which will definitely come if you do nothing.
