The @hippiepixie333 #Escapril2026 Challenge
Prompt for April 13th : redacted
Daily Mental Health Prompt: Seek a positive message to carry with you throughout the day and offer perspective.

Today’s draw is the Two of Cups, which is traditionally a representation of connection and unification, mutual attraction, and emotional connections.

Have you ever met someone that you liked in the beginning, but the more you got to know them, the more you realize that they don’t have a place in your life for one reason or another?

Then, you have to make the hard choice between keeping them on or letting them go (or possibly having to tell them to fuck off, as the case may be).

It’s the ones that don’t leave after you’ve told them it’s not working out that can create a problem. I have one of those… I know. It doesn’t matter how far you distance yourself or how silent you go. It doesn’t matter if you choose to cut them from your life entirely and completely erase (redact) the friendship from your life.

They are still trying. Months later… Years later. Still trying.

I suppose that this particular message today in the Two of Cups combined with the “redacted” prompt is a nudge for me to ask all of you… What would you do in this situation? What can you do in this situation?

Is the solution just to completely continue to ignore them and block their efforts for contact? How many times can you tell them to back off before it’s too many? Never mind, I know the answer to that last question. The real question is what comes after you’ve reached that point.

#DiscordTarotholicsApr2026 Challenge
Prompt for April : Do the Int’l Plant Appreciation Day Activity
Instructions: Pull a random card, then spin the wheel using the link provided below
to be given an herb to work with. What similarities or differences do
you find between the herb you were given and the card you pulled?

[Safety Note: I have based my writing here upon tea. Although the herb that the wheel offered to me is quite safe, if you are pregnant, have any medical conditions, or are on medication, please be sure to research risks, interactions, and side effects before consuming.]

The Fool and Licorice (Glycyrrhiza glabra) Root

Licorice Root is an antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and antimicrobial substance. It has a sweet flavor to it that lends itself to being used in tea form, as well as made into candies, both of which are often used to assist in calming digestive issues such as indigestion, acid reflux, and other stomach upsets.

The Fool is traditionally a representation of innocence, carelessness, carefree enthusiasm, and new beginnings.

The first thing that comes to mind for me when I put these two elements together is that Licorice Root is the remedy to the consequences of The Fool’s actions.

After all, when you make bad choices, you sometimes garner things like acid reflux and indigestion. To me, these two go hand in hand. One being the remedy that eases the other when something goes awry (you know, like Tequila and Tacos Tuesday).

@lightningwildflower‘s April Energetic Shifts Challenge
Prompts for April 13th and 14th

Mars conjunct Neptune, Venus sextile Jupiter: How am I being asked to trust the unknown?

Two of Keys and Three of Keys Rx

Sometimes you just have to wait for things to balance themselves out. There’s nothing you can do, not even as a team with others, to solve the problem.

Instead, it’s about letting the problem solve itself and allowing things to fall back into balance on their own.

Mercury sextile Uranus, Mercury enters Aries: What truth needs to be communicated without hesitation?

Ten of Chalices Rx atop Messenger of Chalices

There will be no happiness to come if you don’t speak up during this time of imbalance to direct things toward what you want to get out of the situation.

This doesn’t mean you have to do anything other than communicate, but communication is necessary at this time so that as things go back into balance they include the things that you want to happen. Staying silent will only allow these opportunities for happiness to pass you by.

Other elements included in this reading:
Pressed Pansy Flowers for Hearing the Heart More Clearly
Dried Red Maple Leaf for Adaptability and Connection
Citrine for Energy Lift (easing the weight of heavy energies)
Carnelian Agate for Inner Drive and Focusing On Aspirations
Selenite for Purification and drawing in Positive Energy

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