@GlitterbyInk #AprilAffirmations24 Prompt
Affirmation Prompt for April 3rd: I Love…

Everybody's Tarot - Eight of PentaclesEight of Pentacles – I love my work.

Remember to take the time to put attention towards enjoying your craft. It’s not all about duty and responsibility, but also about the joy of creation. It’s important to not lose sight of that, especially when things are feeling stressful.

You started your business and honing this craft because it was something you really enjoyed.  You loved making beautiful things that people then used in their own lives to make them feel beautiful.

Don’t lose sight of this joy and passion in your work just because you are making money at it and that adds a touch of responsibility to the work that wasn’t always there.

@Lionharts #TheAprilTarot Mercury Musing Prompt
Question for April 3rd: What hidden insights should I pay attention to during this month of musing?

Loputyn OracleDeath of the Ego – Where is pride blinding you to a broader viewpoint? Step back and examine your reactions more closely, and seek to step aside from those that are over the top to gain some needed perspective. When you react negatively and intensely, it is a sign there’s something triggering you that needs examining more closely.

Lucid Dream – You’ve had a lot of dreams lately where you keep trying to return to them when you should be trying to wake up.  Pay attention to your dreams and make sure you are writing them down. There’s something in there that is the reason you keep returning to them instead of rising, but you are missing it again and again because you’re not writing down what you’re dreaming before you forget it.

Fusion – In order to connect with others more fully, you need to let down your guard. Take time to examine what is holding you back, and if any of those fears or defenses are outdated or superfluous. Safety is important, but over-vigilance makes for a very solitary existence.

#DiscordTarotholicsApr2024 Challenge Prompt
Philosophical Question for April 3rd: What existed before our universe was created?

Everybody's Tarot - Six of Wands, King of Cups, King of Swords

Once upon a time there was an energy/entity that was vast and strong and filled with the interests of only pleasing itself (Six of Wands Rx).

There were no others to please other than the self, and thus they saw everything through a lens of logic as they went about their existence (King of Swords).

One day, emotion then entered the picture, and with it creation began. The energy/entity began using this emotion to begin guiding their energy in new ways and creating new things…. and thus the universe was born. (King of Cups)

DECK USED: EARTH CHILD TAROT

I worked on some orders today while in play with Gideon so that tomorrow wouldn’t be so stressful.

🎨 Weekly Creativity Prompt – Page of Wands

Prompt: “Pull the Queen of Cups card from your deck(s). Compare the imagery between the card provided below and the card(s) from your own deck(s). How would you read them differently and why?“

The Slow Tarot - Page of WandsSlow Tarot – The kid in this imagery looks so happy and so proud of all that he’s learning and experiencing on this camping trip of his. He’s set up a tent, lit a fire, and stands tall with a big smile on his face. This card is a reminder that we need to take pride in our adventurous spirit, new experiences, and accomplishments… even the beginner ones. Maybe… especially the beginner ones.

Page of Wands - Hong Kong Tarot, Anima Mundi Tarot, Tarot of the Hidden Realm

Hong Kong Tarot – Leaving the house vulnerable and unprepared while thinking you actually are?  This is a serious novice move. Yes, some time outside would be wonderful, but honestly? Umbrella in hand or not, clothes are important. Sometimes, we don’t learn these things until we try them and realize it, though. Remember to look for the better way in the things you experiment with. One’s first try is wrought with pitfalls, large and small.  Pay attention to them, and you’ll learn all the ins and outs.

Anima Mundi Tarot – The salamander is associated with the Wands (fire) suit because, at least according to legend, the salamander can pass through fire without getting hurt. Through this association, they represent a theme of resilience through conflict. In this card, though, the salamander is colorless. There are no reds and oranges of flame as would normally be seen in such a depiction on a Wands card. I would read this to mean that there is a lack of reaching for one’s potential.  A stagnancy that one needs to break free of in order to breathe “life” into their situation.

Tarot of the Hidden Realm – Pure joy.  That is what I see in the expression on this boy’s face, and in the spark of color that fills this card’s imagery. I would read this card as an encouragement towards enthusiasm and going after those things that make you feel excited and inspired.  Reject those things you don’t enjoy and dive into the ones you do.
