Solar Eclipse Tarot Reading

/ Twist the Leaf / 1 Comment

Solar Eclipse Spread with the Oracle of Light & Shadow

What is blocked and in the dark.

Snow Angel – You are missing the obvious. Make sure that you are tuning in to your intuition and what your spirit guides have to say instead of trying to tune out. Yes, this time of year can be overwhelming, but it’s important to continue to listen.

Death and the Maiden – You will be given the opportunity to see where you are being deceived and used by others. Pay attention to those around you and you’ll be able to see them coming instead of allowing them to sneak up on you and take you by surprise.

What I must do to achieve that future.

Faceless Ghosts and the Haunted Girl – Again.. listen to your guides. Don’t block them out or ignore them. Yes, this time of year can be overwhelming, but it’s important to continue to listen.

The biggest influence the Eclipse will have on the spirit.

Angel of Time – The eclipse will offer you a shift into a time of energy. Make sure you are not using this energy to overwhelm yourself with too many tasks and responsibilities. Instead, spread it out and use it wisely.

The best way to prepare the spirit for change.

Ghosts of the Pumpkin Patch – Practice gratitude for all you’ve done, accomplished, and have in your life. This effort to appreciate these things can help you through darker moments.

/ Twist the Leaf / 2 Comments

Bicycle Monster Premium Playing CardsThe prompt for this reading came from one of my Discord servers and is as follows: “For this week, let’s talk to our divination method of choice about what we can do to help ourselves feel more cozy and comfortable, either internally or externally! There’s never a limit on comfort!”

What can I do to help myself feel more cozy and comfortable spiritually?

King of Spades and Nine of Hearts – Communicate with more authority with your guides and ancestors in order to develop a greater sense of satiation and comfort in your spiritual practice. You do not always have to follow blindly, as this relationship is one of give and take.

What can I do to help myself feel more cozy and comfortable emotionally?

Queen of Spades and Six of Diamonds – You will feel emotionally more comfortable and secure if you lean into generosity with yourself and others. Holding onto things too tightly only breeds vulnerability and fear of loss.

What can I do to help myself feel more cozy and comfortable mentally?

Jack of Diamonds and Three of Hearts – Work on accepting that learning to take things at a slower pace takes time. It’s not an immediate transformation, but can be assisted through leaning into time with those you love.

What can I do to help myself feel more cozy and comfortable physically?

Nine of Clubs and Five of Hearts – Don’t let your boundaries begin to feel like limitations. They aren’t a cage, nor are they unfair or in excess, but rather they are there to protect you.

Clearing Your Space Tarot Reading

Clearing Your Space Reading with the Embroidered Graveyard Oracle

What do I need to know before using this space?

Reign Breaker – There is a need to seize control of this space, to flow your energy through it and allow it to see your strength.  Use this strength to protect what is important to you without restraint, for there is no need to be shy here.  Be bold. Be impetuous.  Demand what you want rather than allowing the energies here to dictate how it is used.

Vibration of the energy that is leaving this space.

Our Song – The echoes of those that have lived and died on this land seek to depart as new life arrives.  They do not wish to leave in vain, though, but wish you to hear what they have to say before they move on.

Type of energy I should channel to clear.

Celebrate Uniqueness – Every home is unique, as they are a place where one’s self expression finds a voice, and we find comfort in surrounding ourselves in those things we love and enjoy.  In clearing this space of those energies of the past, use this individuality to create something new and uniquely yours.

The new vibration that is entering this space.

Mother – This is what you are… and it is why you are here.  To be close to those you love and connect with those that call you “mother”.  You nurture and seek to slide into this role more fully and with greater purpose at this time in your life, and in everything you do, your mindset and energy fills this “mother” role.

Energy I should bring into this space once its been cleared.

Absolute Protection – Change the locks and put poles in the window channels. Put up wards and protections to help keep you and your home safe. Seek out those things that don’t just make you feel safe, but actually provide an extra level of safety and protection.  Fire extinguishers.  Fire alarms. A security system and a doorbell with a camera.  Not everything is magical in nature, as practical matters are also paramount for well rounded protection.

Life’s Excesses Cartomancy Reading

/ Twist the Leaf / Leave a comment

The prompt for this reading came from one of my Discord servers and is as follows: “I know it’s been a hot minute due to be “flooded” by work, so let’s talk to our divination method of choice about what we have too much of in our lives, and what we can do to get rid of the excess and keep only what we need!”

Black Requiem Counterspell Playing CardsWhat do I have too much of in my life?

You provide too much stability (Queen of Diamonds) for your loved ones(Two of Hearts). This comes naturally to you, and is a part of who you are.  Providing those you care about with a feeling of stability is how you show your love.  At the same time, you can often go too far in this, neglecting yourself as a result.

How can I best let go of the excess and keep only what I need?

You need to allow them to build up their own strength (Queen of Hearts) with a bit of your guidance to foster their learning (Jack of Spades) rather than doing it all for them. There is something to be said for personal experience.  When you do things for others instead of letting them experience things for themselves, you rob them of the experience that can help them become more well rounded individuals.

Grounding Lenormand Reading with the Red Hand Lenormand

What will help me, in this moment, to express gratitude?

Lily and Book – If you begin to journal about your experiences, you will be able to look back on them later with clear eyes instead of a clouded memory. In doing so, you can more clearly see what you are grateful for, and be more prepared and able to express that gratitude openly to others.

What will help me, in this moment, to express moments of love in the present?

Animatxs and Goat – To express moments of love more clearly in the present, lean into being more impulsive. You spend too much time worrying about what other people think, and more specifically what your father would think. This worry causes you to hold back on expressing your love.

What will help me, in this moment, to express hope for the future?

Birds and Scythe – Bring your friends in close, and cut loose the naysayers that would get in the way with their doubts and negativity.
