The @GlitterbyInk #MayMoon26 Rise Root Return Challenge
So Below Prompt for May 11th : Rhythm
Daily Mental Health Prompt: Seek a positive message to carry with you throughout the day and offer perspective.

Today’s draw is The Fool card, which is traditionally a representation of innocence, carelessness, carefree enthusiasm, and new beginnings.

I have a tendency to do my own thing, write my own rules, and March to the beat of my own drum. This means that I’m often out of sync with the people around me, because they expect me to act, react, or respond in certain ways. Often oblivious to these expectations, I respond naturally, and they are set off kilter.

When I’m not oblivious to these expectations, sometimes I try to adapt my actions, reactions, or responses to meet them. In these moments, I always feel out of sync with myself, though. It’s uncomfortable and disingenuous, and I don’t like how it feels.

The message in today’s Fool card and the “rhythm” prompt is a reminder that we all have our own drum and our own rhythm to dance to. We don’t have to lead our lives trying to fulfill other people’s expectations of us… and the discomfort that we feel in doing so is because we are being disingenuous to ourselves. Today’s message encourages us to keep this in mind, and to worry less about meeting others expectations, and more about being true to ourselves instead.

#DiscordTarotholicsMay2026 Challenge
Prompt for May 11th and 12th

In what ways are you unhappy with who you are now?

Elderberry and Hare; Knight of Pentacles atop The Devil

You worry about how many of your bad habits and addictions, as well as your addictive personality as a whole, developed from the negative experiences of your youth.

After all, everything that you are now is a product of your past, your experiences, and the growth you have accomplished throughout your life. What you’re unhappy about is in regards to those places where you don’t seem to have grown at all, or where an unhealthy trait has grown in a place that could’ve been fertile soil for something healthier.

This is especially true when it comes to that addictive personality that you work so hard to mitigate in your day-to-day life.

How can you improve upon the person you are now?

Yarrow and Beaver; Three of Cups atop King of Wands

Remember that you can allow emotion to be a part of your healing journey as well as a part of your “leadership model” when dealing with others.

By allowing others in your life to come with you on your journey, you welcome healing of the wounds that people in your past have created within you.

This is because having these people along with you in the present helps to repair the damage from your past, and in the process also helps you to grow into a better person.

Prompt for May 13th : What I’m not giving myself enough credit for

Reading Summary: Learning and adapting (Page of Swords) as the world falls apart (The Tower) and you don’t really want to give a shit about any of it (Four of Cups).

Take Away: Although it’s not true apathy, you have a tendency to try to appear as unaffected as possible when things start to fall apart. You don’t want people to know you’re struggling, let alone how much you’re struggling.

The truth is, though, that even when you hide your struggles, they’re still real and they’re still there. Through it all you continue to fight to learn and adapt and keep going… usually alone because you don’t want to show that you’re struggling in the first place.

This resilience and persistence is something you rarely acknowledge or give yourself credit for, and yet it’s a backbone of strength that you lean into again and again.

I caught myself up on orders today. It wasn’t really what I wanted to do with my day, but it needed done and instead of procrastinating, I got my ass in gear and did it.
