The @GlitterbyInk #DecemberDays25 Beyond the Solstice Challenge
The Mystic Prompt for December 1 : Mindful
Daily Mental Health Prompt: Seek a positive message to carry with you throughout the day and offer perspective.

Today’s draw is the Eight of Pentacles, which is a representation of hard work, expertise through practice, honing a skill, quality craftsmanship, handicrafts, and manifestations through skill and hard work. The card is often the embodiment of the “practice makes perfect” adage.

“You have a lot to get done today, and if you aren’t mindful of how you’re spending your time, there’s a good chance you’re not going to get it all done.”

Being that I am the king of procrastination, it can sometimes be difficult to stay on track. Especially when there’s so much to do, and procrastination tells you to prioritize other things instead of the things that really need to be completed.

The message in today’s card combined with the “mindful” prompt is to make sure that you are paying attention to what you are doing throughout the day today. That way, you don’t fall off track and end up not getting everything done that really needs to get done. Distractions are all well and good when you have a little extra time to play with them, but sometimes that wiggle room of extra time it’s just not there.

@Lionharts #TheDecemberTarot Fruits of 2025 Challenge
Prompts for December 1st

A bridge to cross

The World – You have to finish out what you’re doing before you can move onto the next thing. That means letting go when things reach their end, rather than holding on so tightly. Letting go is not really one of your strong suits, but if you don’t, you can’t move on.

A bridge to burn

Five Bills – It’s time to close your wallet and begin a more miserly path forward. Throwing money about isn’t going to help your cause right now. It will only make you feel good in the moment, but turn into more scarcity in the end.

A chapter to close

Disaster – As a previous reading this week has already mentioned, your time dealing with the absolute chaos you’ve been dealing with over the last few months is indeed coming to a close. Yes, there will still be trials and tribulations to go through, but they won’t be quite as disastrous as the ones that you’ve dealt with over the duration of autumn’s months.

A page to turn

Money Boy Rx – Again, here we see an encouragement to lean away from wastefulness when it comes to your finances. Spending like a baller is not going to further your ambitions right now. Set the idea of dropping cash as you wish aside and control your impulses. Instead, lean into the slow progress of saving your dollars as opposed to wasting them.

Other elements included in this reading:
Foraged Acorns for Protection during New Beginnings
Foraged Pin Oak Leaf for Strength and Endurance
Carved Rhyolite Leaf for Regeneration and Healing
Honey Calcite for Optimism and Motivational Boost
Selenite for Purification and drawing in Positive Energy

#DiscordTarotholicsDec2025 Challenge
Prompts for December 1st and 2nd

Where should you direct your focus this week to foster your relationship with yourself?

Present (Fish), Nine of Swords, The House – Stop worrying so much about what you don’t have. Instead, place your focus on the gifts you’re being presented with this season. There’s lots to enjoy over the holiday season with loved ones if you let yourself move past your fears of what’s -not- happening.

Yes, the business is slow, but look at all the extra time you have to enjoy the holidays, family, friends, and traditions that you haven’t had the chance to enjoy for the past few years when the holiday rush has been at its peak.

What aspects of your life could benefit from some grounding and centering?

The Bed (Coffin), The Moon, The Reindeer (Rider) – You’re uncertainties have a tendency to run away with you and get out of hand. It’s time to instill a little bit of reality into the areas where you feel uncertainty so that you can put these worries to bed.

Things aren’t as bad as you think they are.  Your emotions are getting into the mix and muddling with your perspective. Combined with that negative inner narrative of yours, it’s a recipe for doom and gloom and lots of fear driven withdrawal.  Instead, acknowledge these emotions… then set them aside so you can really enjoy the world around you more.

Other elements included in this reading:
Oregon White Oak Leaf for Strength, Stability, and Longevity
Dried Rosebuds for Potential and Beauty Waiting to Unfold
Conch Shell Knot for Concentration and Clarity
Selenite for Purification and drawing in Positive Energy
