Don’t
Awkward moments
of confusion
feel like
helplessness
and round
my shoulders in
as I grapple
with feelings
of worthlessness
and hear whispers
of name calling
in my head
rising up
from the past
and I struggle
not to hide
away

Really Looking
Lets take
a moment
to pause
and examine
the minute bits
and delicate
intracacies
of the world
and admire
the breathtaking
detail and grace
that goes into
even the smalles
and simplest
of things

Doing Too Much Lenormand Reading
Why do I have so much to do?
Ring and Key – Because you feel that the key to success lies in the responsibilities and obligations you pile up on yourself. Thus you continue to pile on more and more of them in order to push yourself towards the success you want to achieve.
What prevents me from lightening my load?
Lily and Book – Past experience has shown you that this method works again and again. You worry that that means it’s the only method that will and struggle to see past what this past research/experience has taught you.
What would it be like if I did less?
Rider and Birds – At least at first, it would feel like you are losing your grip on the organization and order that you’ve worked so hard to build in your life. In time, this chaos would become the new norm tho, and you would learn to adapt to it and continue moving forward.

Finding the Spark
Today’s meditation was skipped.
Today’s draw is the Queen of Wands, which is traditionally a representation of a receptive alpha energy, personality, or person in the area of one’s motivation, drive, willpower, values, passions, spirituality, principles, and inner spark.
I am not really feeling particularly inspired today, and that is why the Queen of Wands has come to visit.
This card is here to lift me up and remind me that enthusiasm is important, as it helps energy flow more freely so that you don’t feel stagnant and stuck.
With so much to do today, today’s card is an encouragement to seek out the pleasure in the tasks and responsibilities I need to get done today instead of letting my lack of enthusiasm for them drag me down and make me miserable.

Question for March 27th: In what area(s) have I recently grown?
Freedom – The ability to step out of your comfort zone and not let your responsibilities weigh quite so heavily, giving you the freedom to enjoy your life more.
Duality – The ability to see your negative inner narratives for what they are and bring them into the light, allowing you to combat them more effectively with themes of positivity and optimism.
Morrigan – Your connection with death and the dead is growing. It’s a slow journey that will continue to expand over time the more you fight for it to be a part of your practice.

#DiscordTarotholicsMar2023 Challenge Prompt
Question for March 27th: National “Joe” Day – If you could be different for one day, what would you change?
Reading Summary: You would like to experience the world from an unhurried perspective (The Hanged Man) that allows you to spend time just enjoying the world around you (Page of Pentacles) without the negative inner narrative that is always pushing you to look at things with skepticism and pessimism (Five of Cups Rx).
Take Away: True. It would be absolutely amazing to just enjoy the world and life and rest and all the good things… without feeling guilty about it. That guilt is a struggle that I deal with every single day. Not just because I often feel undeserving of those good things, but because more often than not I end up feeling that when I enjoy those good things? It means I’m neglecting my responsibilities and obligations.

Prompt for March 27th: A card you draw very often.
This is my stalker card. Not of the day or the week or even the month. This has been my stalker card for a couple of years now. No matter the deck, I pull the Queen of Swords far more often than any other card in the tarot… to a noticeable degree.
It has been this way since I started having a falling out with someone in my life a few years ago. This card is a reminder that she is still there… still important… and that there is unfinished business still between us. I am not allowed to forget or set it aside, but to remember and revisit the idea of reconciliation again and again.

This is another catch-up post, and as usual, I can’t remember what my self-kindness was for this day.

Anticipation
Sweet green bits
sit quietly
and stretch
as far
as they can reach
to seek out
moisture
as clouds above
promise raindrops
yet to fall
but the trees
can smell
that it’s coming
and we are all
eager

Start Now
Today’s meditation was skipped.
Today’s draw is the Knight of Pentacles, which is traditionally a representation of an active beta energy, personality, or person in the area of one’s finances, resources, health, home life, and the physical world. This often translates into themes that have to do with taking bold actions and making positive progress in these areas.
Sweet and cute or full of warts, the stuff that comes even while you’re away has to rear its head eventually. You took a lot of time off this month, and the time to play catch-up is starting to creep up on you out of the weeds.
Start now. Just a little each day will help you get there with far less struggle than if you hold off and try to do it all at once later in the week. Just a little each day will be a little less you have to do when crunch time comes.

Prompt for March 26th: Do Spread 3 – The month of March is now coming to an end! This spread is to help you find your footing as you move into the spring season ahead.
What to leave behind along with the winter’s chill.
Black Pepper atop Sandalwood – Don’t trust fate and your guides to always be there to save your ass. You have to think for yourself as well, and make sure you are looking before you leap.
What to take with you into the spring.
Bergamot – Gratitude is an important part of your path. Make sure you are not neglecting a mindset of gratitude for the things that you have and those things you have accomplished. Be grateful for not just those around you, but also for yourself and your own skills and abilities that have brought you to where you are now.
What needs exposed to the light and the world this spring.
Melaleuca atop Benzoin – Make sure you are putting the housekeeper to specific tasks each time she visits instead of letting her dictate her own work. There’s much that needs to be done and when you steer the boat, things get done faster and better than when you let her do things without your input.
What needs kept close for further contemplation and meditation.
Clary Sage – Let yourself sink into your joy and enjoy it instead of trying to push it away.

@Lionharts #TheMarchTarot Wander Lust Challenge Prompt
Question for March 26th: In what way or area(s) have I found myself this month?
Reading Summary: Moderation (Temperance) does not always have to mean going slow (Knight of Pentacles Rx). Sometimes it means taking a pause to look back at what you’ve done in the past (Six of Cups), and using that input to foster better and more logical methods going forward (Queen of Swords) instead of rushing in.
Take Away: So often when you see themes of moderation in your life, it feels like a sort of restraint that is placed upon you. This month has helped to teach you that moderation is not always about going slow. Sometimes? It’s just about making sure you’re going in the right direction and using methods that are tried and true instead of going off impulsively and trying to reinvent the wheel in the process.

I got a few orders done today that I’ll be shipping out early instead of waiting for Friday. Once again, my self-kindness is in listening to the advice of my card for the day.
