The @GlitterbyInk #MarchMoments26 Challenge
The Edge of Wonder Prompt for March 1st : Threshold
Daily Mental Health Prompt: Seek a positive message to carry with you throughout the day and offer perspective.

Today’s draw is the Ten of Pentacles (Tomes), which is traditionally a representation of satisfaction and stability in the area of one’s finances, resources, home, health, manifestations, and the physical world. This often translates into themes that have to do with hard earned success, accomplishments, abundance created through patience and hard work.

I love myself a good library. It’s full of so much potential and so many things that I don’t know, but that are right of my fingertips to find out.

For me, libraries are magical places, and books on paper are magical things. Don’t get me wrong, I think digital books and audiobooks have their place. For me that place is in the fiction category for audiobooks, and the deck guidebooks category for digital.

When it comes to actual research, non-fiction, and learning new things, though, it’s all about the print books. There is a tactile sensation to learning things in books that you cannot get through digital or audiobook. If I read a physical book on a subject, that tactile experience allows me to reference different parts of the book, depending on how many pages are on each side, where in a page something appears, and how many pages it feels like I’ve turned. This means that later on down the road (even years later) if I need to reference this material, my tactile memory will be able to help me find these particular sections and excerpts. Because of this, I can usually find what I’m looking for within seconds, or minutes at most.

In a digital book however, there is no tactile memory involved. If I need to go back later to find an excerpt or to reference a particular portion of the book, I have to guesstimate where in the book it was because there’s no tactile guidance to help me find it. This process then takes at least twice as long for me… and sometimes much longer. Especially if I cannot remember the exact wording of what I was looking for, so there’s no way to search it.

This is one of the many reasons that in my opinion, libraries represent a wealth that we cannot get through any other source. A wealth that is shared with others in our community. It can be enhanced by digital offerings, but it shouldn’t be replaced by them.

Today’s Ten of Pentacles card combined with the “threshold” prompt asks us to consider where in our life are we taking for granted a source of wealth in our lives, and why aren’t we stepping forward to take advantage of that opportunity?

#DiscordTarotholicsMar2026 Challenge
Prompt for March 1st : Do Spread 1
With Spring approaching, it’s time to start cleaning out the old energies of hibernation and stagnation that Winter can often bring. In this spread, look for those thoughts and things that need to be let go in order to allow yourself to flourish this Spring.

What do I need to let go of to…

Ease My Mind – Mystic of Vials (King of Cups)

Instead of allowing your emotions to overwhelm you and make you retreat into your shell, work on reaching out to those that help you in your journey to learning about your emotions and allow them to guide you when you are feeling vulnerable and uncertain.

When you do so all of the anxieties and “what if” thinking becomes much quieter and easier to deal with, instead of overwhelming you. Control isn’t the answer.

Lighten My Heart – Eight of Bells (Swords)

Stop hiding. Turning a blind eye and pretending something doesn’t bother you doesn’t make it go away. Nor will it solve the problem. Yes, now and then it will resolve itself. Unfortunately, more often than not all it does is allow things to grow and become worse before you have to deal with them, creating more work and stress for you in the end.

Free My Creative Spark – Mystic of Tomes (King of Pentacles) atop Dreamer of Candles (Page of Wands)

Accept that it’s okay to make mistakes and not have all the answers.

Let go of the concept that you need to be right all the time. You know that’s not true. A part of learning and growing is accepting that you don’t know everything, and accepting the challenge of seeking those answers.

This is a catch up post, and I’m not entirely sure what the self kindness was for this day.
