Relationship Check-In Tarot Reading with the Witches Tarot

How are things going between Gideon and myself at the moment?

Six of Wands atop King of Swords – She’s trying to keep the realm going by plating the lead with others in writing and storytelling. He is, in fact, a wordsmith, and does very well at keeping everyone happy and entertained.

Two of Pentacles atop Six of Pentacles – While you juggle being far too generous with your time and energy. You are trying to juggle your responsibilities and this generosity, and it is taking a lot out of you to do so.

Eight of Wands Rx – Your relationship is currently in a slowdown time as a result. You both have to cool your jets right now, no matter how much you wish it could be otherwise.

Strength Lenormand Reading with The Sirens' Song Kipper Cards

A Strength You Remember

Change and Military – Some friends come and go, and that’s okay. You are able to cut them loose as needed and you weather well the process of letting them go when needed without it upsetting everything else in your life in the process.

A Strength You’ve Buried

Unexpected Money and Sorrow – The ability to find what you need when things are at their worst. Even when you feel like you are out of resources and there’s no way out… you find what you need to make it through.

A Strength That Is Building

Marriage and Great Fortune – The ability to commit to opportunities that arise that could help you in creating stability for yourself and others. You don’t hem and haw about it, but commit to making it happen. This ability is in a stage of growth right now, and being exercised strenuously at the moment.

/ Twist the Leaf / 1 Comment

Tomorrow is the new moon, and like all new moons and full moons, I did a spread aligned to the moon’s current themes as a part of my recognition of the moon’s cycle and influences upon us. Today’s spread is brought to you by lightningwildflower.

New Moon in Leo Oracle Reading with the Lil Cryptid Oracle

What is being cleared away to make room for a fresh start?

Goatman and Chimera – Let go of the idea that everything can be a partnership. Sometimes someone needs to be the aggressive party and take the lead.

How can I shine brighter and show up for others more?

Reptilian and Unicorn – Take heart in the fact that just because you need to take the lead sometimes doesn’t mean you’re alone and can’t work together with others. You are infinitely adaptable and this quality will help you here.

How can I cultivate my inner strength and integrity?

Nessie and Yeti – Stretch it out. Not everything has to be done at once. Instead of cramming in as much as you can get done into every minute, space things out. It’s okay to take your time.

What seeds of courage and conviction can I plant today?

Kikimora and Squonk – Take to heart what Gid and you discussed about your boundaries and being emotionally manipulated. Take time to let this percolate for a while instead of pushing it aside or trying to ignore it.

New Moon advice from the Minoan Goddess Amalthea.

Mothman and Dark Watcher – Don’t let fear take over. Instead, step back from it and observe how it is affecting you and others.

Weekly Creativity Prompt – Summer Daydream

/ Twist the Leaf / Leave a comment

Prompt: “Pull at least three cards and use them to describe a summer daydream that you’ve experienced recently.”

Guweiz Tarot

That the winds of fate will end up leaning into a positive result for her surgeries… which will lead to happiness, healing, and success for her as she moves forward into healing from her injuries. And, as a result, Ms B will return to Empress status in my life, as a warm and nurturing figure I’ve become accustomed to her being.

Things have been a bit rough this year with her breaking her shoulder in February, then needing gallbladder surgery and bile duct surgery in May… shoulder surgery in late June, then breaking her other arm last week.  I have become the supporter and nurse, providing and assisting and nurturing. I have daydreamed many times over the summer about things hopefully returning back to status quo at some point.

Doubt & Discovery Carotmancy Reading with the Lord of the Rings Twin Towers Playing Cards

A doubt to hold space for.

King of Clubs atop Ace of Hearts – Remember that it’s okay for your emotions to be in upheaval. You don’t have to exert control over them or smother them out, nor do you have to put your all into them and let them take all your focus.

A gift that you already possess.

Ten of Hearts atop Five of Diamonds – You have the ability to allow those people that make you happy to help in digging you out of the mud and lifting you up. Sometimes you forget that you possess this gift, but it is always there for you.

An insight at your fingertips.

Two of Hearts – You are loved.

Weekly Creativity Prompt – Stichomancy and Tarot

/ Twist the Leaf / Leave a comment

Prompt: “Grab the nearest book (or your favorite) and fan through the pages. Randomly stop somewhere along the way. Close your eyes and let your finger land on the page the book is open to. Whatever sentence is under your finger, keep it in mind while you then pull a card. Consider how the sentence from the book and the tarot card may relate to each other, and what message the two together may be trying to say.”

We can enthusiastically engage without putting any human filter of cynicism, fear, or expectation on the proceedings, and this our experiences will be fresh and dynamic, enabling us to quickly grow in confidence.  – Spiritwalking by Poppy Palin

Spiritwalking by Poppy Palin and The Hermit from the MIMIT Tarot - Stichomancy and TarotQuote combined with The Hermit – Close your eyes and trust what you feel guiding you from within. Outside influences are not as important as that inner guidance, and the more you listen to your intuition, the stronger your intuition will become.  It’s only through reaching within ourselves and truly getting to know ourselves that we can grow into a greater sense of self-confidence.
