The @GlitterbyInk #MayMoon26 Rise Root Return Challenge
So Below Prompt for May 9th : Grounded
Daily Mental Health Prompt: A positive message to carry with me throughout the day and offer perspective.

Today’s draw is the Four of Wands, which is traditionally a representation of one’s passionate love for the security and welcoming energies of home. This often translates into themes that have to do with homecoming, celebrating home and stability, as well as relaxation in comfortable spaces.

Home is where the heart is, as the saying goes.

The thing is, some people’s hearts don’t reside in their house. Sometimes one’s house is not the safe place that they wish it would be.

Instead, they find their safety and comfort in the library, or the park, or another person’s home, or in the company of another person.

The phrase “home is where the heart is” is often misinterpreted to mean that you are supposed to be emotionally attached to your residence and it is supposed to be the place where you most love to be. In truth, what the saying is actually trying to tell us is that home can be anywhere and anything that feels like our heart is comforted and safe.

The message in today’s Four of Wands and the “grounded” prompt is a reminder that finding these places and people where our heart is engaged, and we feel comforted and safe, is important. These places and people are how we ground ourselves into reality and into the world. These places and people are how we find a sturdy foundation in life from which to grow.

Today’s message encourages us to seek out where and who gives us this sense of a stable foundation, and acknowledge their importance in our lives and the strength they provide us.

Prompt for May 11th : What my life looks like when it’s really good

Reading Summary: You very much like your alone time (Solitude), but you also enjoy being around those with whom you have cultivated a strong relationship… people that genuinely enjoy spending time with you (Praise) and often share your values (Cultured).

Take Away: For you, when life is really good there’s a balance between the solitude in nature that you need and the companionship with like-minded souls that you enjoy.

You often find strangers exhausting, but socializing with those of like-mind and like-values helps you get in the amount of socialization you need without it being overwhelming.

It’s all about finding a balance between that solitude and socialization. Too much of one or the other is just that; too much. Ideally, you need a balanced diet of both.

#DiscordTarotholicsMay2026 Challenge
Prompt for May 7th thru 9th

What secret are you holding onto that needs to be shared?

White Dead Nettle and The Empress

You are not receiving the nurturing you need, and thus there is a continual ache of need within you that’s not being met. This ache of need acts like a bleeding wound, influencing both your energy and mood.

Trying to patch this wound created by your unmet needs isn’t something you can do on your own, yet you lack the ability to express what these needs are in a way others (or even yourself) can understand.

What are the pros of sharing this secret?

Broad-Leaved Dock and Ace of Cups

By sharing the secret, it has the potential to create a balm upon this wound within you.

Even if you don’t know how to express yourself well concerning this issue, just getting the issue out there in any way that you can to those that care can create a soothing effect on your emotions surrounding the situation.

What are the cons of sharing this secret?

Yarrow and Eight of Cups

Some who see this secret aired may consider you too needy. In response, it may cool off relationships that you thought were stable, causing others to step back who don’t want to stick by your side in dealing with this issue.

If they’re unwilling to support you in your time of need, though, perhaps that’s for the best.

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