The @GlitterbyInk #JuneMessenger26 Challenge
Message From My Spirit Guide Prompt for June 1 : Mystery
Daily Mental Health Prompt: Seek a positive message to carry with you throughout the day and offer perspective.

Today’s draw is The Sun card, which is traditionally a representation of success, optimism, positivity, fun and frivolity. In my practice, the Sun is also a symbol of masculine vitality, virility, and warmth.

Do something that you enjoy today and it will help lift you up out of the doldrums you may find yourself lingering within.

For me, this type of advice always speaks of engaging my curiosity. Whether it’s experimenting with a new project or idea, digging through a pile of stuff to organize and explore, or trying out a new trail just to see where it goes.

The message in today’s Sun card combined with the “mystery” prompt is an encouragement to engage your curiosity. Allow the mysteries around you to enchant you. Seek to look at the world and those things in it with fresh eyes instead of your normal jaded perspective. In doings so, everything will seem just a little brighter and more engaging.

Prompt for June 1 : My personal energy for this upcoming season.

Sacred Oil – “Practice acknowledging people, objects, and spaces as sacred. Consecrate, revere, and bless all you hold dear.”

This season brings with it a mindset of awareness and gratitude. You are more cognizant of those things and people that you enjoy, and of that enjoyment as a whole. In the process of this awareness and enjoyment, you make everything that much more sacred and special.

Willow Tree – “Envision the life and world you want. Believe that anything is feasible… immerse yourself in imagination.”

Your imagination is the first step to manifestation. It comes before ideas, before plotting and plans. It is the seed that sprouts the first root. Don’t allow your negative self talk squelch your imagination’s voice. Let your imagination flow freely instead, and follow the curious paths it leaves in its wake.

Third Quarter Moon – “Leftover residue is being swept away, preparing for what’s next… Ride the wave of the diminishing light, and surrender all that is dormant and lifeless.”

You can’t fill your life with more curiosity, imagination, and sacred moments if you’re unwilling to release the things that are getting in the way of these themes. Just like a rollercoaster, instead of holding on so tightly, let go and enjoy the ride.

@Lionharts #TheJuneTarot Follow Your North Star Challenge
Prompt for June 1 : My North Star Tarot Spread

What new direction is opening up for me as June begins?

The High Priestess / Spider – It’s fair to say that spiders aren’t one of my favorite things. In fact I’ve been terrified of them for most of my life. That said? Just recently I’ve been noticing a diminishing trend when it comes to my reactions to spiders. Not necessarily the one on this card, though, because that bubbly back of spider babies is nauseatingly shudder worthy all on its own.

The message here, though, is that June has the potential to be filled with opportunities to open up to things that I’d normally be closed off to. In doing so, the rewards will come in the form of new information and a greater understanding of things previously only grasped on a surface level.

What personal quality can guide me through this month?

Eel – Strengthen your convictions while taking care to remain flexible. You can hold firm to your values, lead with strength, and also be soft enough to bend without breaking. None of these qualities are mutually exclusive.

What can keep me connected to myself throughout June?

Judgement / Whale – Instead of judging every little thing you do under a microscope, keep your eye trained upon the person you want to become and what you want to do with “your dash“. Life’s not about making every little thing perfect. Take a breath and let it go.

What is ready to grow if I give it my attention this month?

Queen of Swords / Jaguar – Your strength, self esteem, and ability to both see and communicate clearly.

Flow state is easily accessible to you right now, and activities or projects that slip you into this state have a great deal of potential for success this month.

Other elements included in this reading:
Dried Fuchsia Flowers for Stability in the Face of External Disruption
Foraged Parmeliaceae Lichen for a “Breath of Fresh Air”
Pressed Pansy Flower for Hearing the Heart More Clearly
Foraged Purple Heather Sprigs for Independence and Luck
Selenite for Purification and drawing in Positive Energy
