The Call Prompt for November 5th : Ancient
Daily Mental Health Prompt: Seek a positive message to carry with you throughout the day and offer perspective.

Today’s draw is the Queen of Cups (Songs),which is traditionally a representation of a receptive alpha energy, personality, or person in the area of one’s emotions, relationships, creativity, and intuition. Among other things, this often translates into themes to do with emotional support and advice from a trusted party that is easy to talk to.

The need for mothering isn’t new. It’s age old and ancient, carrying from generation to generation down the ages. It’s not necessary for survival, and yet needed all the same.

This craving is something that I’ve discovered lives within me, and there have been times when I’ve been embarrassed by this as well as times when I’ve felt ashamed.

What I’ve come to discover, though, is that this need isn’t some kind of failure on me, but rather speaks to something I needed but wasn’t met as a child. Telling myself that that’s on me pushes my younger self into a position of scapegoat in a situation that they had no control over.

The message in today’s Queen of Cups and Ancient Prompt is an encouragement to look at the things we are taking blame for that we shouldn’t be. This act is an abuse upon ourselves, and of our inner child as well. Today’s message encourages placing the blame on where it really belongs instead of carrying it for things that were out of your control.

Prompt for November 5th : Advice you need to hear at this time concerning your friendships.

Reading Summary: Don’t allow yourself to obsess over the unknown in your friendships (L’obsession). Whether they are sincere or not will show itself in time (L’incertitude). Better to wait and watch (La direction atop Lunae Lumen).

Take Away: When you are feeling vulnerable, its hard not to try and protect yourself by entertaining “what if” scenarios on the things that could go wrong and could hurt you. When you do this though, you create a more vulnerable state for yourself by raising your anxiety levels,

Better to trust, but also wait and watch. No need to go looking for trouble that isn’t there but could be awakened by the increase in nerves, anxiety, and obsessive vigilance.

November Prompts by @forgotten.dumpling & @ml.mecham
Prompt for November 5th : when memory boils over

alone with my thoughts
(Four of Spades)
they begin to swell like the tide
creeping up the levee
inch by inch and foot by foot
(Eight of Clubs)
negative inner narratives
overpowering lighter thoughts
(Five of Spades)
until the only memories
that float to the surface
(Six of Hearts)
are the ones meant to poison
freshwater wells
(Three of Spades)
as they break over levee walls
and begin to flood down into the day
(Ten of Clubs)

Prompts for November 4th through 6th

Which experience should I acknowledge without immediately trying to resolve it?

The Hermit Rx atop Two of Honey (Pentacles) – Those people in your life that need your support can’t get what they need if you are isolating yourself away from them. Just remember that support can often mean quietly sitting at their side rather than speaking up or trying to help.

Where would a loving boundary serve me well right now?

Queen of Honey (Pentacles) – Provide your body the nurturing care that it needs right now. Wear the hand brace. Use the anti inflammatories and ice dips. Be gentle.

What truly brings me rest and restoration?

The Tower Rx – Allowing yourself to finally say “Fuck It” and letting go of trying to hold everything together.

Other elements included in this reading:
Bird Figurine for Encouraging Hope, Positivity, and Renewal
Japanese Cherry Leaf as a Reminder of Life’s Fleeting Moments
Foraged Ponderosa Pine Cone for Resilience and Adaptability
Gray Agate Druzy Slab for Stabilizing Energies and Expectations
Selenite for Purification and drawing in Positive Energy
