@GlitterbyInk #AprilAffirmations24 Prompt
Affirmation Prompt for April 3rd: I Love…

Everybody's Tarot - Eight of PentaclesEight of Pentacles – I love my work.

Remember to take the time to put attention towards enjoying your craft. It’s not all about duty and responsibility, but also about the joy of creation. It’s important to not lose sight of that, especially when things are feeling stressful.

You started your business and honing this craft because it was something you really enjoyed.  You loved making beautiful things that people then used in their own lives to make them feel beautiful.

Don’t lose sight of this joy and passion in your work just because you are making money at it and that adds a touch of responsibility to the work that wasn’t always there.

@Lionharts #TheAprilTarot Mercury Musing Prompt
Question for April 3rd: What hidden insights should I pay attention to during this month of musing?

Loputyn OracleDeath of the Ego – Where is pride blinding you to a broader viewpoint? Step back and examine your reactions more closely, and seek to step aside from those that are over the top to gain some needed perspective. When you react negatively and intensely, it is a sign there’s something triggering you that needs examining more closely.

Lucid Dream – You’ve had a lot of dreams lately where you keep trying to return to them when you should be trying to wake up.  Pay attention to your dreams and make sure you are writing them down. There’s something in there that is the reason you keep returning to them instead of rising, but you are missing it again and again because you’re not writing down what you’re dreaming before you forget it.

Fusion – In order to connect with others more fully, you need to let down your guard. Take time to examine what is holding you back, and if any of those fears or defenses are outdated or superfluous. Safety is important, but over-vigilance makes for a very solitary existence.

#DiscordTarotholicsApr2024 Challenge Prompt
Philosophical Question for April 3rd: What existed before our universe was created?

Everybody's Tarot - Six of Wands, King of Cups, King of Swords

Once upon a time there was an energy/entity that was vast and strong and filled with the interests of only pleasing itself (Six of Wands Rx).

There were no others to please other than the self, and thus they saw everything through a lens of logic as they went about their existence (King of Swords).

One day, emotion then entered the picture, and with it creation began. The energy/entity began using this emotion to begin guiding their energy in new ways and creating new things…. and thus the universe was born. (King of Cups)

I worked on some orders today while in play with Gideon so that tomorrow wouldn’t be so stressful.

Mimit Tarot, Everybody's Tarot, Healing Waters Tarot, and Thera-Pets Emotional Support Animal Cards

July 25

Today’s meditation was ten minutes long, and was focused on the affirmation in today’s Thera-Pets card. That affirmation was “It’s okay to be uncomfortable. It’s okay to be scared. You will succeed in spite of these feelings.*  What I love?  Is that the bunny in the image has a mural of a full moon on it.  That uncertainty of darkness and shadow fits so well with the affirmation on the card.

The Hanged Man – This card is all about perspective, and the fact that the tail of the mouse is willingly holding on instead of tied to the branch? Indicates that not only is it about new perspectives, but about willingly seeking them out and being open to those perspectives when they are available.  These cards together are a reminder not to close yourself off to opportunity because you are scared or uncomfortable. Open your eyes and allow yourself to see past those feelings that try to cloud your view.

July 26

Today’s meditation was ten minutes long, and was focused on the affirmation in today’s Thera-Pets card. The affirmation on today’s card is “You are doing enough. It’s going to be okay.”   This is one of those messages that I need pretty regularly, as I feel like I am -never- doing enough. It’s a reminder that this perspective is flawed, and comes from an ugly place of self-depreciation.  By reminding me of this, it helps me to try and see things from a healthier angle when I’m tempted to keep pushing myself harder and harder.

Four of Cups – Being pissy about your self care and not dong your meditation isn’t going to get you very far.  In fact, it will create setbacks that you really don’t need. Make sure you do your physio and meditation, even if you’re not inspired to do so.

July 27

Today’s meditation was ten minutes long, and was focused on the affirmation in today’s Thera-Pets card. The affirmation for today is “The truth is that you are far more capable than you feel.” I’m not feeling particularly in-capable at the moment, but sometimes these messages come in order to help bolster and sustain rather than to correct.  Today’s message is one of those. It’s to keep me remembering that I’m far more capable than I often feel that I am, whether that is in making changes in my life, or just sustaining my business for a time instead of focusing on growth.

The Hierophant – Make sure you are tapping into available resources right now. You don’t know everything and still have so much potential, but to continue to improve and expand your own knowledge you need to seek out those that have been doing things for a lot longer than you have. Their tips and tricks can help improve your own knowledge and skills.

The Masquerade Tarot, The Really Badly Drawn Tarot, Everybody's Tarot, and Thera-Pets Emotional Support Animal Cards

July 4

I am HOME. Fuck god yeah. And before I left Ms B’s house, I had one more wonderful soak in that oh-my-fucking-god amazing bathtub. I have the absolute -best- naps in that tub. It’s so very comfortable. I also did my meditation in there today, although it wasn’t timed because I was not interrupting that holy bliss of water and buoyancy in order to use the timer. It was not my only self-care act of the day, but it was the absolute best one.

Nine of Wands – This card is all about protecting what is important to you and reinforcing one’s boundaries. What stands out to me in the imagery of this card is the fact that both of the figure’s eyes are covered. They are essentially blindfolded, where in traditional tarot imagery, only one eye is covered.

This speaks to me of directing one’s attention to one’s personal boundaries with themselves, rather than the boundaries that one uses with others. It is a reminder that sometimes you have to stand up for yourself… against yourself.

Sometimes you have to tell yourself no and make choices that protect your health and well-being rather than doing what you feel you -should- do or -want- to do. The message in this card today is a reminder that it’s important to put yourself first now and then. Put yourself first today.

July 5

Today’s meditation was ten minutes long and based on the affirmation in today’s Thera-Pets card, which was a reminder that the negative inner narrative in my head is not me and is not speaking the truth when it tries to tear me down.  I wouldn’t go so far as to say I’m perfectly delightful, as I’m sure there’s plenty out there that would disagree.  But neither am I as pathetic and unworthy of being liked as that inner narrative tries to tell me I am.

Page of Pentacles – This card is commonly about learning new skills, recovering from illness, and learning new methods and abilities that expand upon previously learned material.  It’s about strengthening the skills you already have by learning a new method, a new process, or a new way of doing things.  It tells us that the process is slow, and that sometimes no matter how hard we try?  We can’t -always- be on steady footing, and that that’s okay.

DECK USED: THE REALLY BADLY DRAWN TAROT

July 6

Today’s meditation was ten minutes long and the affirmation I focused on for today’s meditation feels like a cheerleader of encouragement, which tells me that chances are I’m going to need that little fox rooting for me in my head at some point.

Wheel of Fortune – And here we are on an orders day and I thought I was all caught up and doing great on getting things put together and sorted for tomorrow’s ship out. Only to get in a handful of not easy and somewhat time consuming orders that, although are definitely needed financially, are going to set me back in being ready to go for tomorrow by hours.

The Wheel of Fortune is about the unexpected and the way unpredictable changes enter our lives as well as how we deal with them.  Combined with the affirmation mentioned in my meditation today, these cards are a reminder to take a breath and not beat myself up too damn badly just because I’ve fallen behind schedule.  It’ll all get done, and everything will be fine.
