Le Tarot de Marseille par Pole Ka and Sinister AffirmationsThe @GlitterbyInk #OctoberMagic25 Challenge
Crone Prompt for October 15th
: Peace
Daily Mental Health Prompt
: Seek a positive message to carry with you throughout the day and offer perspective.

Today’s draw is The Tower card (La Maison Dieu), which is traditionally a representation of sudden change, chaotic transformation, destruction, and the tearing down of something within one’s life or beliefs that leaves room for something new to take its place.

The Tower card has then been combined with an affirmation card from the Sinister Affirmations deck, which says, “The best revenge is living well-connected to powerful supernatural forces hell-bent on the destruction of your adversaries.”

Sometimes the vengeance you want or need has to be delivered by forces outside yourself.

Bad things can happen when we decide to take such endeavors as revenge into our own hands. Mishaps like in the picture, for example. Perhaps they pushed the first person off the window only to have someone they care about go diving after them. Or, just as possibly, we go too far due to our emotions, and then the debt to balance the scales is back on us and we must experience misfortune again as a result.

The message in today’s cards is a reminder that vengeance does not provide peace. It creates chaos, and much like sending a set of scales swinging, it can come back and punch you in the face.  On the other hand, if we wait and watch? We may find that that natural need for balance in the universe is going to deliver that blow of revenge for us, we just have to be patient and wait for it to happen naturally. No reason we can’t enjoy it when it does, though.

Prompts for October 14th and 15th

WIsdombyKK's Halloween Tarot ReadingMummy – What thoughts or feelings are you getting tangled up in and struggling with?

Justice atop Two of Cups – You know that it’s time, but you are struggling to reach out and make peace with someone that hurt you deeply. You want to return to the trusting and copacetic relationship that you had before, but all that’s happened makes that unlikely.

Crypt – What secrets are you hiding tucked away in the dark?

Queen of Cups and Page of Pentacles Rx – You crave emotional nurturing from a mother-like figure. The problem is that the times you’ve experienced this have been fleeting and never seem to stay the course. This disappointment is making it harder for you to deal with the above mentioned feelings you are struggling, and putting forth the effort to make peace with the person that hurt you.

Prompt for Gathering (community)
: Who or what is gathering around me now?

Le Tarot de Marseille par Pole Ka and Gothica I Playing Cards Nocturnal EditionReading Summary: Don’t allow yourself to become overly focused on protecting yourself right now (Ten of Clubs and Nine of Wands). The direction you’ve chosen (Three of Wands) is stable and well thought out (Queen of Diamonds atop Ace of Spades).

Take Away: You chose to let yourself go with the flow of things this season when it comes to your mediumship practice. That means allowing yourself to stay open instead of raising defenses at each new experience.

Stay on course, and ground yourself well. There’s potential here if you allow it to play out, and don’t let your feelings of uncertainty (and/or fear) interfere.

Other elements included in this reading:
Pressed Yew Tips for Ancestral Connections
Conch Shell Knot for Concentration and Clarity
Selenite for Purification and drawing in Positive Energy

I didn’t really want to spend the money, but I bought myself a new pair of work boots today because the old ones have been falling apart for a while now.

Gideon’s Challenge – Autumn Forests

Rainforest MushroomsAutumn Forests

The rainforest
is full of
moisture and rot
and things
that feed off
other things;
life abounds
alongside decay
and the scent
of autumn
is one of
squishy wet soil
and evergreen boughs
