Enchanted Forest Felines Tarot

🎨 Weekly Creativity Prompt – Imagery Interpretations

/ Twist the Leaf / Leave a comment

Prompt: Pull the same three cards from your deck(s) and tell us how you might interpret these decks differently, and why. Same question, same cards, different decks. And if you’d read them similarly? Tell us that, and explain why! Today’s cards are Seven of Dandelions (Swords), Ten of Mushrooms (Coins), and Ten of Branches (Wands). And the question from our imaginary querent is “What is something I’ve been neglecting lately and how could I pay it some more attention?”

Enchanted Forest Felines Tarot

“What is something I’ve been neglecting lately and how could I pay it some more attention?”
 Interpretation from the Enchanted Forest Felines Tarot:

All that hard work you’ve been doing has the potential to slip through your fingers if you’re not careful.

Pay attention to what you choose to pursue, and what you’ve chosen to leave behind. You can’t turn back for those discarded bits later, because you’ll already be carrying far too much on your shoulders, so make sure that you choose wisely.

Keep in mind when making these choices that what you take on benefits not just you and your goals, but also those that join you on your journey or wait for you at the end of it.

Hoi Polloi Tarot

“What is something I’ve been neglecting lately and how could I pay it some more attention?”
Interpretation from the Hoi Polloi Tarot

You think that you’re supporting everyone and that they’re all appreciative of what you provide, but all that back breaking work is being taken for granted by someone far more interested with taking off with what’s yours than enjoying it along side you.

Pay attention to those that take what you offer for granted, and ensure that they aren’t taking more than their share without respecting the work you’ve put into it.

🎨 Weekly Creativity Prompt – Different Scenarios

/ Twist the Leaf / Leave a comment

Prompt : “The purpose of this activity is to practice interpreting small spreads by combining card meanings, symbols and intuition. We will all interpret the same cards based on a few different (imaginary) situations. A 3 card spread will be posted together with 2 more specific scenarios. It’s your choice which scenario you’d prefer to use, or if you’d rather do a general reading of these cards as for an imaginary querent.”

Enchanted Forest Felines Tarot - Ace of Pentacles, Three of Pentacles, Queen of Wands

Scenario 1 – Ennis has made it to midlife, with a steady job, partner, house, and family. Only, now things are boringly steady and they’re not sure if they should pursue a new job, or go back to school. Their partner is supportive of either, so now they’re coming to you for another perspective.

With your partner front and center there to help and support you in your endeavors, something new to spice up life is a good idea.  Take time to think ahead instead of just about which options seem exciting right now in the moment. Consider consulting advisors that know more about the options you’re considering than you do.  In seeking out guidance from others that know more than you, you’ll be better able to identify which opportunity is best suited for you moving forward.

Scenario 2 – Jo has had a string of short and ultimately unfulfilling relationships over the last few years, and is coming to you for guidance on how to find something more fulfilling, and maybe more lasting.

Instead of focusing on those people that make you feel excited and give you those wild tingles of excitement, in order to find something more fulfilling you need something more stable.

Lots of times, this comes off as something “boring”, but the excitement needs to come from the experiences you have with this other person, rather than from the person themselves. Seek those that can bring more to the table than just that fiery spark of chemistry, and you’ll be more likely to find a more long lasting match as a result.

Scenario 3 –A general reading (feel free to add your own flair or a backstory).

A new opportunity rests on the horizon, but it’s not something that you can take on by yourself. To start off on a good foot and encourage success in this new endeavor, make sure that you bring those with you in your life that are eager to join you in the journey, and take care to get some advice along the way from those that have tread this path before you.

🎨 Weekly Creativity Prompt – Spot the Difference

Prompt: “Below is a 3-card spread from Enchanted Forest Felines Tarot and a question/prompt to go with it. Your task is to pull the same three cards from your deck(s) and tell us how you might interpret these decks differently, and why. Same question, same cards, different decks. And if you’d read them similarly? Tell us that, and explain why!”

Enchanted Felines Tarot - Knight of Wands, Five of Swords, Page of Wands

Question: What could I do to inspire a little more creativity and passion into my life?

Look closer at those things that strike your interest and curiosity (Page of Branches).  You can’t chase every passion and explore every whim that wanders by.  Some of them?  You just have to let go (Five of Dandelions), in order to allow you to chase after the ones that truly inspire you (Knight of Branches).

Stolen Child Tarot - Page of Flame, Five of Zephyrs, Knight of Flame

Question: What could I do to inspire a little more creativity and passion into my life?

Get in touch with your feelings of childish enthusiasm. Where have you abandoned your dreams and how can you reconnect with them and those feelings they inspire? (Page of Flame)  Trying too hard on a path that’s not right for you will only cause you to feel an unnecessary sense of struggle and defeat (Five of Zephyrs).   Instead, reach for those things that lift you up, create a sense of confidence, and light within you a passion to follow your dreams (Knight of Flame).

❤️ Self Care Saturday (On a Sunday)

/ Twist the Leaf / Leave a comment

These Saturday readings are (not usually) bearing in on any one thing or event in my life, as the question used is asking for a more general outlook. This is a self care exercise, and is not meant as a predictive reading… although that, too, happens on occasion.

The question is… What do I need to focus for self-care through the week ahead?

Self Care Saturday Tarot Reading with the Enchanted Forest Felines Tarot and Minimalist Japanese Lenormand

Earth – Page of Saucers – Don’t let boredom create stagnancy this week while you’re off work. Dabble in creativity and have some fun instead. Not work… fun.  Imagination.  Play.  Bring back that enthusiasm for creativity that has a tendency to be smothered out when too much gets put on your shoulders at once.

Air – Three of Saucers – Invite others in not just to help you in creating balance in your life, but to have fun with as well. Focus on those that help in lifting your spirits and making life interesting.

Water – Seven of Branches –  Remember that whether or not others expect you to defend yourself and how you feel? There’s no need to actually do so.  They can’t reach you anyway, so why bother entertaining their pressure and threats?

Fire – Wheel of Fortune – Look for the boon in upcoming “spilled milk” situations. It’s not all bad, and you need to make sure that you are adapting easily to the whims of fate when they put shit like this in your way.

Waning – Man and Fox – Let go of that responsible leader who’s always on top of everything and always strategizing the best way forward. Sometimes you just have to step back and let things take their own course instead of trying to direct everything to the letter.

Waxing – Child and Letter – It’s okay to be irresponsible and “dial it in” this week instead of being on the ball and ready to roll. Play time is just as important to your well-being as times of work are.

Take Away – Don’t go back to work early because you are feeling pressure to do so.  Take your time and take it easy. Have some fun.  Make sure when unpleasant surprises arise that you deal with them through adaptation and humor instead of getting upset or frustrated.
