The @GlitterbyInk #OctoberAlchemy26 Challenge
Breathe Prompt for October 14th : Trust
Daily Mental Health Prompt: Seek a positive message to carry with you throughout the day and offer perspective.

Today’s draw is the Six of Pentacles, which is traditionally a representation of charity, generosity, sharing the wealth, asking for or accepting help, and balancing the scales between the “haves” and the “have nots” in life.

Sometimes you just have to trust that everything is going to turn out okay, that the universe will provide, and that generosity will prevail.

In my life, I have been in far too many situations where I was on my last leg and out of options. Every single time, it felt like the end of the world.

And yet? I’m still here. Surviving, and occasionally thriving. Okay… more than occasionally these days.

I’m here because I fought to be here, but I’m also here because of the generosity of the universe to provide me what I needed to keep climbing and striving.

The message in today’s Six of Pentacles and Trust prompt is a reminder that it’s not all up to you. You are being given a hand up now and then, even when you might not realize it. These cards encourage us to trust that that with perseverance, that hand up will be there when we need it most.

October Spooky Season Challenge by @MercuryTarot
Prompt for October 14th : What is unique about me?

Reading Summary: When you land at a fork in your path (Crossroads), you always choose the path that leads towards stability (House), no matter how daunting the obstacles in your way (Mountain).

Take Away: You are singularly focused on stability and security. In your life, your finances, your health, your future… no matter the aspect of your life, your decisions are geared towards that singular goal.

It doesn’t matter to you if the path to the stability that you seek comes with greater obstacles and bigger struggles than the other options available to you. To you, it’s worth the extra trials and hardships to move in the direction of security and stability than to choose an easier path.

As a result, you tend to provide a sense of stability to others who are going through their own trials.

October Prompts by @forgotten.dumpling & @ml.mecham
Prompt for October 14th : an exorcism of lies

I am legion unto my own
with myriad personalities and characters
hidden beneath the surface
(Ten of Clubs)

some clamoring for freedom
(Ace of Clubs)

while others whisper from the dark
spreading rot and decay
in stagnant places
(Three of Spades)

until new chemicals are introduced
to chase away the shadows
created by their lies
(Ace of Hearts atop Five of Spades)

Other elements included in this reading:
Foraged Pin Oak Leaf for Strength and Endurance

@owlandbonestarot #OctoberinBetween Challenge
Prompts for October 14th

Push – Four of Cups – Push yourself to do the meditation practices that help to balance out your days.

This little ten minute space is just for you and no one else, and is an important part of your day. It allows you to give yourself some time apart and away from the responsibilities and social obligations so often pressing in from all sides. This little break is important.

Pull – Knight of Cups Rx – Pull back against recalcitrance to take these few minutes each day for yourself.

Your resistance to this simple practice is caused by mood, emotion, and/or negativity. None of these things need the validation of avoidance half as much as you need the validation of practicing regularly.

Other elements included in this reading:
Oregon White Oak Leaf for Strength, Stability, and Longevity
Honey Calcite for Optimism and Motivational Boost
Rose Quartz for Gentle Kindness to Self and Others
Selenite for Purification and drawing in Positive Energy

I watched a movie (The Unholy) instead of fucking around on my phone during spare time at Ms B’s house.
