Today’s draw is the Ace of Wands combined with the affirmation “If you think something unkind towards yourself today, please apologize for it. You deserve fair treatment always, most especially from YOU.”

That nasty inner narrative inside your head is not real. It is not speaking the truth.  It can be extremely hard to tell it to fuck off, but at the same time? We need to remember to acknowledge the reality that it tries to build in your mind is, in fact, fictional.

Over the past couple years, I’ve poured a lot of effort and energy into this process, and today’s cards are a reminder that there’s still a long way to go. Don’t give up. Stay passionate about improving our own self treatment.  It’s important.

DECK USED: MYSTIC WILDERNESS TAROT

#DiscordTarotholicsAug2023 Challenge Prompt
Question for August 20th : What do I need to focus on for self-care this full moon?

Reading Summary: Now it’s not the time to share (Island) your great new ideas (Ace of Swords). Keep them to yourself for now, or you may end up experiencing what you often worried about (Nine of Swords); that is someone else coming along to take them from you (Seven of Swords).

Take Away: Close to the vest is best.

Although this isn’t always the case? For right now it absolutely is.  Keep your ideas to yourself and take some time to develop them on your own for now. There will be plenty of time later on to share once you’ve managed to create a steady foundation for them to flourish first.

DECK USED: MESSAGES FROM THE SPIRITS OF NATURE ORACLE AND MYSTIC WILDERNESS TAROT

I spoke up for myself today when I was feeling hurt by something someone said.  I took some time first to make sure that emotions had calmed, then pulled them aside and told them how I felt about their words and treatment.
