One Word Book Title Prompt for November 2nd : Cosmos

Today’s draw is the King of Wands combined with the affirmation “So what if you’re a bit strange? You’re still nice to have around.”

I have always liked the idea that we are all made up of stardust. Us. The planet.  Everything.  Stardust. The “cosmos” prompt combined with today’s cards made me think of that, and how amazing it is that there is such diversity in the world and, for that matter, in the universe.  Look at all the different, unique, and wonderful things that stardust can do.

The message in today’s cards is that when you lean into your uniqueness, accepting it as not just a part of who you are but an important part of who you are, good things happen.  When you stop trying to conform to the “norm” and standards of others, you give yourself the freedom to discover your own interests and joys, dreams and things with which to be passionate about.  And that, in turn? Draws others to you that are a good fit.  A good fit for your weirdness, and a good fit for your time and energy.

This is how we attract those like minded people that become true friends. This is how we find our “tribe”… our chosen family.  This is how we fill our lives with those that accept us for who we are instead of demanding we conform to other’s standards. Lean into your uniqueness, for it’s there in that weirdness where you’ll truly shine the brightest.

Question for November 1st thru 3rd

As I stand in my truth, where can I find the clarity I seek within, or without, this month?

Within – Dog Stinkhorn – Your independence, moral, compass, and good reasoning allow you to make decisions on when to stay and deal with a situation, or when to take off for something better.  More than anything else, it is these qualities within you that are a great strength in guiding your way along your path.

Without – Snowbank False Morel – Watch closely for situations that seem too good to be true. Instead of jumping on them, make sure that you do your due diligence and research things in full before taking action.

What aspect of my inner wisdom is ready to be sharpened or embraced throughout this month?

Burn Morel – It is time to start rebuilding from the chaos and destruction. Focus on moving forward and making the changes needed rather than lingering and stagnancy among the ashes of what fell and activities that failed. Make sure to seek the support of others while doing so.

Where can I wield my sword to sever self-doubt, empowering me to move forward confidently?

Plums & Custard – Stay wary of the betrayer that has been predicted in the cards over the past month. On identifying the issue and individual behind it, make sure to cut quickly and sever them from your life and the lives of those that they could do damage through.

Question for November 2nd

A Wish for the Future

Ace of Cups – You would like to learn to experience new emotions more freely and let them flow instead of defense mechanisms rearing up to try and tamp them down or push them away.

Next Step in Getting There

Five of Pentacles – When you are feeling a sense of stagnancy and scarcity, instead of keeping on trudging mindlessly towards your goal, seek help in overcoming and/or better understanding these familiar feelings that often have the potential to hold back your development.

The Home of Your Hope

Five of Wands – You like that people have different opinions and perspectives, even when those differences in opinions and perspectives cause conflict. Seeing people with conviction in their beliefs bolsters your spirit and sense of hope.

Other elements included in this reading:
Foraged Lichen for Perseverance
Foraged Grand Fir Tips for Renewal and Emotional Uplift

I am trying to give myself a last bit of time off before the holiday rush moves into full swing.  I’m feeling a good deal of guilt over this, though, so it’s a bit more of a struggle than usual.
