Presence & Persistence Tarot Reading with the Faunabelle Tarot

PRESENCE: What do I most need to be present with right now?

The Sun – Focus on the positive and push optimism right now. It’s time to start the climb out of your depression’s pit, and leaning into positivity can help you in scaling those walls. Lean into these themes and stay focused on where you want to go as the light begins to grow brighter and brighter above.

EASE: What do I need to ease off on?

Seven of Cups – Stop worrying so much about all of the different crap you need to do.  You’re unnecessarily overwhelming yourself.  Consider just doing one small thing a day.  Even just a tiny little thing is more than nothing and will keep you from getting stalled out with the overwhelming amount of options on what to do that are out there.  It’s about doing one small thing a day right now, not “what can we get done”.

PERSIST: What do I need to persist with, even if it’s challenging?

Five of Wands – Hold onto your moral compass and your values.  Push back is natural now and then, but don’t give up.  Instead, look at shifting your trajectory and those of others so you can unite your passions to a purpose instead of butting heads.

GIFT: What am I learning through all this?

Ace of Cups – You’re still at the beginning of your emotional learning journey.  You need to focus on enjoying the journey more instead of where you’re going or what you need to get done.

Hidden Beauty Reading with the Forest Path Lenormand

What seeds have been planted in my life?

Tower and Moon – It’s time to bring awareness to the emotional isolation that depression can create.  Pay attention to this issue and make sure that you take steps to mitigate this influence.  By bringing attention to this issue, these cards are planting a seed that can allow you move into a healthier head space and help you stay open to others even during darker times.

What is beginning to grow that may surprise me?

Heart and Clover – Just how very lucky in love you truly are.

How can I take this time to appreciate the beauty that is around me?

Mountain and Tree – This has nothing to do with the actual meaning of these cards, but as an encouragement to get out into nature and go hiking among the woods in the trees. Many of my mountain trails are starting to open back up, although there’s still a lot of snow. But, as a trade-off, there are not a lot of hikers. It is a perfect time to get out there and enjoy this part of nature that will become crowded later on and you’ll want to avoid n preference of more secluded spots.

Questions for the Spirits of Tea

The prompt for this reading came from one of my Discord servers and is as follows:
“Commune with the spirit of coffee or tea, and ask it what you want to know. Be sure to thank it at the end.”

Sortilege Reading with Charm Casting, Clarification Tokens, and WItch Rune SticksShould I branch out from my regular daily blend?

Only for special occasions or when you’re feeling unwell.

Is my current daily blend helping me?

Your current daily blend is providing flexibility and strength both emotionally and physically.  This allows you more mobility and freedom as a result.

Should I stop buying mugs?

Not necessarily, especially if they make you happy. But, perhaps stop actively looking.

Should I drink the teas sent as free gifts and as bonuses in membership mailings?

No. They’re a source of community energy and connectivity, and have positive energy behind them. But, don’t drink them as they could be dangerous due to your allergy issues. Use them for other things.

Surprise Divination Activity

I would like you to follow along and do this one in comments.

Intuition Exercise:   Let’s see how the new year will go. Set a music playlist to shuffle then select the 4th song. Listen to it, and use your intuition to pick up on any messages or imagery that sticks out. What song did you get and how do you think your new year will be based on what you picked up from the song?

Interpretation:  Nostalgic and conflicted. I have a lot of restructuring of methods and practices to do over the New Year. Changing gears is hard and it’s difficult not to fall back on old habits. The lessons I’ve learned over the past year have made it clear I need to change up how I’m doing things, though. It’s just not going to be easy.

This style of divination is called Shufflemancy.
