Spiral Tarot - Knight of Wands

Today’s draw is the Knight of Wands, which is traditionally a representation of a projective beta energy, personality, or person in the area of one’s drive, passions, willpower, principles, inspiration, or enthusiasm. This often translates into themes that have to do with rash behavior and a go-get’em attitude toward the things that matter to that person.

Sometimes doing what you want and are inspired by takes little more oomph, and a thick skin to protect yourself and your passions from naysayers.

Passion pursuits aren’t always easy. There’s lots of things in life that you may be good at, and yet don’t enjoy it all. For example, I am really good at cooking. I can’t even remember the last thing I made that didn’t turn out, regardless of if I’m following a recipe or not. Cooking is, in fact, an integral part of my spiritual practice.

That doesn’t mean I enjoy cooking, though. Just because I’m good at it doesn’t mean I enjoy it.

By the same turn, some of the things that you really enjoy might be things that you completely suck at. That doesn’t mean you stop. It may mean that you can’t get paid at it, but that doesn’t mean that you can’t enjoy it regardless of whether or not you’re good at it. (For example, I absolutely suck at pool/billiards… but I always have a good time when I play.)

The message in today’s Knight of Wands card and “Lucidity” prompt is a reminder that enjoyment is not necessarily based upon talent and skill. When we look at things through the eyes of enjoyment, we see with a clarity what we can’t see any other way. That is, we see a value in things that might otherwise miss seeing. That value being how much we enjoy something, rather than how much we can get out of it or what we can do with it.

Prompts for March
 5th and 6th

Tarot Reading with The Sorcerers Tarot and Gemstones & Dragons Oracle

What area of your life is requiring too much sacrifice?

Five of Pentacles, Peridot, King of Cups – You have a tendency to pretend that you’re okay when you’re not, just to keep others calm and comfortable. That fear that others will see your weaknesses and reject you for them is taking too much out of you.

This choice of compliance to be accepted and liked is costing too much. Remember that not wanting to deal with something it’s not the same as not needing to.

What would be a better option or path?

Ace of Pentacles atop Nine of Swords Rx, Smoky Quartz, Nine of Cups – Rock the boat on your fears by bringing them out into the open. This creates the opportunity for something better to emerge.

Nothing that you do that goes against your own needs is going to provide you the healing and care that you are in need of. It only perpetuates more pain. Instead, allow yourself the care you need and stop the people pleasing tactics.

Other elements included in this reading:
Foraged Lichen for Perseverance
Beech Pods for Realizations that Foster Personal Growth
Selenite for Purification and drawing in Positive Energy

@lightningwildflower‘s March Reflection to Action Challenge
Sun trine Jupiter Prompt for March 5th
: Where is abundance already flowing?

Tarot Reading with the Spiral Tarot - Eight of Wands, Two of Swords, Eight of Swords

Reading Summary: You are ripping off blindfolds that have kept you trapped and motionless to identify issues (Eight of Swords figure reaching out for help from the Two of Swords figure) and have already begun making the decisions needed (Two of Swords figure moving on a tight rope toward Eight of Swords figure) and actions necessary begin fixing them (Eight of Wands).

Take Away: Starting around February 1st, something went awry with your product advertising. At first you thought it must be as a glitch, but the issue has continued into March now.

You’ve since created a spreadsheet to track what’s going on and begin making adjustments to hopefully course correct the problem.

At the moment, you have an abundance of information (and more yet to come) which will require clarity of mind to understand and then act on.

Other elements included in this reading:
Foraged Lodgepole Pine for Resilience, Growth, and Renewal
Foraged Parmeliaceae Lichen for a “Breath of Fresh Air”
Gneiss Stone for Patience in Moments of Discomfort
Carnelian Agate for Inner Drive and Focusing On Aspirations
Selenite for Purification and drawing in Positive Energy
