Today’s meditation was skipped.

Today’s draw is the Seven of Wands combined with the affirmation “I am a friendly ghost, spreading smiles and cheer.”

Today’s cards are a reminder that not every conflict has to be a fight to the death in order to stand your ground. It can feel like it, especially when you are feeling defensive or vulnerable.

The thing is, though, that the best action isn’t always an aggressive one in these situations.  Instead, sometimes when you stand your ground, all you have to do is smile and say “Okay. Not for me, though” and walk away.

A lot of times when people step in and challenge your values, it is simply to start a conflict or to make you feel small.  By choosing to walk away instead of engaging, you not just preserve your own values, but make it clear where your boundaries lie in a way that fighting can’t… because it’s the challenge and/or fight that they wanted all along.

#DiscordTarotholicsOct2024 Challenge Prompt
Question for October 22nd thru 24th

Ancestors: What is your relationship with your ancestors at this time?

Seven of Wands – You are still making your ancestors fight to get through. As much as you are open to the idea of exploring mediumship more in depth, there is a part of you that continues to be resistant.

Spirits: How can you improve upon your relationship with your ancestors?

The Empress – Nurture your discoveries in the area of mediumship as you explore your abilities. Instead of just sitting on them and forcing them into stagnancy, allow them to flourish and grow in abundance.

Seance: What guidance do your ancestors offer at this time?

The Devil – Your ancestors remind you to take care not to fall into unhealthy patterns at this time. Make sure, as you work on exploring and developing these skills and abilities, that you don’t develop harmful practices alongside them that could become a problem later.
