The @GlitterbyInk #NovemberTales26 Oracles & Folklore Challenge
The Call Prompt for November 6th : Awakening
Daily Mental Health Prompt: Seek a positive message to carry with you throughout the day and offer perspective.

Today’s draw is the King of Wands, which is traditionally a representation of a projective alpha energy, personality, or person in the area of one’s passions, drive, determination, principles, values, and willpower. The King of Wands often indicates themes that have to do with leadership figures or authority figures with the ability to rally others to their causes and draw them in to their own values, principles, and passions.

It takes time to get there.

Passion projects and becoming a pro is not something that happens overnight. No matter how interested you are, or how hard you work. No matter whether you do the research or learn through hands-on experience. It doesn’t matter. No one who first starts with a passion is instantly a pro.

That pro-status takes time, and there is no replacement for that time and the “seasoning” of experience that comes with it. You will always be better at a thing 20 years down the line than you are when you start, no matter how good you are at the beginning.

This doesn’t mean you should give up, but rather that you should continue. Because it’s only through continuing that you reach excellence.

The message in today’s King of Wands and Awakening prompt is a reminder that when passion is awakened and you become caught up in the energy of something you feel is worth exploring, don’t give up just because you’re not good at it from the start. And if you are good at it from the start, that means it’s time to dive deeper and become even better… not walk away because you think you’ve already mastered it. Today’s message is about longevity, and how expertise comes through time, patience, and dedication.

Death Prompts for November 6th 

Let Go – Weasel – Aggression and excess.

Let go of your need to snap back at others who don’t deserve your aggression.

Take only what you need instead of leaning into the excess you’re normally drawn towards.

Find Support – Raven – Be clever, but not so clever you reject the perspectives and ideas of others.

Friends, family, and the unseen on the other side are all resources you can tap into when in need of support. Don’t take them for granted or hold them at arms length.

Dig Deeper – Snail – You are extremely independent, but that doesn’t mean you have to be completely alone.

Take some time to explore the balance between independence and your connection to others. Even the most introverted of people still need a touch of connection to others from time to time, and although you are an introvert at heart, you are by far not the “most introverted” out there.

November Prompts by @forgotten.dumpling & @ml.mecham
Prompt for November 6th : put your love up for adoption

injuries bring fragility
to the forefront of the mind
and thoughts rise unbidden
(Nine of Spades)
as I wonder what would happen
if life was snatched away
would you pine for me
with an aching heart
(Four of Hearts atop Ten of Spades)
or would your love
be put out there
on auction or adoption
for another
to step in to take my place
(King of Hearts)

Other elements included in this reading:
Staghorn Sumac for Connecting with Nature and the Wild Within
Rose Quartz for Gentle Kindness to Self and Others
Desert Rose for Purification and drawing in Positive Energy

@lightningwildflower’s Challenge
Prompts for November 5th and 6th

Celebrate – What small success deserves a big celebration?

Queen of Wands and Temperance Rx – You didn’t wait on going in to see the sports medicine doc about your hand. Regardless of the cost involved, you chose to go instead of continuing to unsuccessfully treat the issue on your own.

His pleasure in seeing you after so long reinforces the Queen of Wands energy seen in these cards and its connection to him and the visit

Revisit – What promise have I made to myself that needs my attention again?

Knight of Pentacles and Queen of Cups Rx – More practicality and less pandering to your emotions. Your emotions often try to dictate both your actions, inaction, and self care; and not in healthy ways. Its time to ensure that they don’t convince you to do things like languish, overspend, or neglect yourself and your self-care.

Other elements included in this reading:
Clear Quartz for boosting Mental Clarity
Amethyst for Fostering Spiritual Connections
Selenite for Purification and drawing in Positive Energy

DECK USED:  THE HEARTSPUN TAROT

Continuing with the care of my hand that was recommended by the sports doc and still hoping its getting better,
