Mr Lionhart’s #TheNovemberTarot Elemental Tarot Challenge
Questions for November 7th and 8th

Oracle Reading with the Enchanted Map Oracle

What can I do to enhance my day-to-day life with more comfort?

Dragon’s Lair – It’s not comfort that you need right now, but rather to mix things up and dive into the excitement of challenge and adventure. See the upcoming holiday rush as a quest, instead of as a burden.

How can I best invest in myself for the long-term?

Commitment – Connect with others and allow them to connect with you. Accept their offers of help without restraint, as they are offering out of love and this sharing in your burden is a building block to greater bonds between you and others.

How can I connect with nature for a greater sense of grounding?

Heal the Ouch – Get your ass out in nature as much as you can. It’s through your connection with the forests and the trees that you find your greatest healing magic. In order to take advantage of this, you need to actually go wander among the trees and lie under their boughs so that your roots can tangle with theirs.

Winter Meditation Tarot Reading

 Winter Meditation Tarot Reading with the Traditional Manga Tarot

Hibernate – Judgement – Not everything has to have an end goal, and with those things that do, you need to be looking at the now instead of where you plan to end up. Trust yourself to stay on path without constant diligent concentration on your goals this winter.

Contemplate – Ace of Cup – Instead of burying your emotions as you usually do each holiday rush, this time try and keep them on the surface so that you can spend some time considering them and familiarizing yourself with them.

Protect – Nine of Cups atop King of Wands – Keep in touch with that spark that drives you forward towards your goals. It’s not always about seeing the end of the line and keeping it in sight, but rather wallowing in the excitement and spark of creativity this time of year can allow you to experience.

Let Go – The Magician Rx – You’ve had a lot of experience this year and feeling helpless and powerless. It’s time to set those experiences (and feelings that surfaced as a result) aside and reclaim your power and autonomy.

Fair Warning

Unexpected
warning
fairly given
but it makes
for thinking twice
about parking
at the trail head
and heading off
into the woods
while
leaving behind
the one thing
that can
safely
bring you home

Mr Lionhart’s Elemental Tarot Challenge
Questions for November 4th thru 6th

Lionhart's Challenge Lenormand Reading with the Urban Incantations Lenormand and Zodiac Oracle

How can I practice more mindful and intentional living?

Sun and Virgo – Find joy in organization and a more systematic and logical approach to life. Notice more and enjoy those things your attention is drawn to instead of disregarding them. Small joys are important.

What obstacles do I need to be aware of?

Fish and Libra – It can sometimes be difficult to resist going with the flow in social situations. Don’t allow peer pressure to cause you to spend when you should hold back, though. There are consequences that come with going with the group instead of listening to your own needs.

How can I turn my obstacles into opportunities?

Coffin and Capricorn – Look at the endings in your life with a practical eye. See the opportunities that come in the wake of loss.

What is contributing positively to my life right now?

Birds and Gemini – Communication and friends. Remember that while having others around you may sometimes feel chaotic, they also lift you up and breathe new life into how you experience the world.

Finding the Positive for November 4 – 6

Somnia Tarot Illustrated Edition, Tarot de la Sorciere, Folk Lore Tarot, and Positive Affirmation Oracle

November 4

King of Wands – Today you will need to make choices that feed into which direction you are  going as you step forward.  Make sure you make choices that align with your goals and what you want for yourself and others, and in doing so you inspire others to do the same for themselves, and back you in your endeavors as well.

November 5

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

Six of Swords – well the way from seeing the things that you need to get done today as a chore, and see the message form of play instead. There’s no reason you can’t have fun while you work. It transforms the tasks you need to get done into something you want to do and enjoy.

November 6

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

Two of Pentacles – Sometimes it’s just not possible to fit as many things on your plate as you’d like. You can only juggle so much, and there’s no shame in letting something go because you need to.  Walking away is  a form of self care.  Pick and choose what you put on your plate.  Be discerning.  Accept that sometimes we can’t do everything we want to do and we have to pick and choose in order to maintain balance in our lives.

Massive shapes
glide by
unnoticed
above our heads
bigger than fields
and mountains
and silent
as the quietest
whisper
slipping off
towards the horizon
like time
as sand slips
through the hourglass
