Shadow Journey Tarot, Umbral Embers Tarot, Victorians Tarot, and Halloween Affirmation Cards

October 28

Today’s meditation was ten minutes long, and was focused on the message in today’s cards, which is…

Ace of Cloaks (Swords) – In meditation, it can be hard to forget that there is no goal. There is no “empty  mind” or “silent mind” we have to force ourselves into.  There is no “perfect relaxation” to achieve. Meditative practice is a practice in mindfulness, which as today’s quote says, is about accepting the present experience, just as it is.  Nothing more and nothing less. There is no “good at meditating” or “not good at meditating”.  Don’t make it complicated.

Today’s meditation was ten minutes long, and was focused on the message in today’s cards, which is…

The Star – Give yourself the benefit of the doubt.  You are far more capable than you think you are, and when you look at the world from a place of optimism, you give yourself a greater chance to truly shine and show just how much you’re capable of. Don’t smother  you radiance because you fear failure.

Today’s meditation was ten minutes long, and was focused on the message in today’s cards, which is…

The Emperor – Remember that while the veil is at its thinnest you need to stay stalwart and strong. Over the past few years as you have begun to explore the mediumship ability you had previously suppressed, your connection and receptivity has increased exponentially.  The rest of the year, you can be open to the influences of those spirits around you, but during this time they are far too strong and being open to them puts you at risk for negative influences.  Stay strong instead.  Listen, but do not yield.

October 25

Today’s meditation was ten minutes long, and was focused on the message in today’s cards, which is…

Queen of Swords – You have never been one for conformity and you do what suits yourself. Over the past few months, you’ve had to step away from that mindset, but now that you’re back at home,  it’s time to return to it once more.  Do things your way, and fuck’em if they don’t like it.  You don’t have to feel guilty for needing to rest and recover.  Fuck’em if they don’t like that, too.

Today’s meditation was ten minutes long, and was focused on the message in today’s cards, which is…

The Hierophant – Just because you know stuff doesn’t mean you always have to share. Sometimes, silence is golden and listening makes you far more interesting than speaking ever could. It doesn’t mean that you don’t know your stuff or don’t have things to share, but rather that you value other’s experiences and opinions, and want to hear what they have to teach you.

Five of Wands – Opinions are like assholes… everyone has one.  Just because others may express that they do not value the work you do doesn’t mean that what you do is worthless or without merit. Don’t take other’s bad day personally or allow what they have to say to dampen your enthusiasm for doing what you love, for even when they lash out? It has nothing to do with you or your skills and abilities. It’s all about them.

October 22

Today’s meditation was ten minutes long, and was focused on the message in today’s cards, which is…

Four of Swords (Aosagibi) – Listen to your body and what your body needs.  If you feel old and tired, it’s okay to rest. The old blue heron lingers, passing from life to afterlife, but bothers no one. So too can you bother no one. Don’t get worked up. Don’t worry or stress.  Don’t allow negative emotions or the push and shove of ambition to hurt your healing progress. Listen to your body, and rest when you need it.

Today’s meditation was ten minutes long, and was focused on the message in today’s cards, which is…

Queen of Cups – Instead of beating yourself up for being ill and needing rest, give yourself the love and encouragement that you need. Do the things that help nurture you back to help including eating when you need to eat, doing your breathing exercises to keep your lungs healthy, and making sure you do the little self-care things that help such as the salt water rinses, Nyquil before bed, etc. Be kind to yourself.

Three of Cups and Three of Coins – It’s nobody’s fault that you feel like crap so make sure that you aren’t taking it out on others today. Instead, ask for help when you need it and just enjoy the fact that there’s someone there for you during the times you’re awake. You are no longer contagious, so lean into the help being offered.

Today’s meditation was ten minutes long, and was focused on the message in today’s cards, which is…

The Hermit – Abundance isn’t always about money.  Sometimes? It’s about giving yourself what you need most and having the ability to do just that.  What you need most right now is some alone time. Burrow under the covers and let the Covid run its course, there’s no where you need to go today and no one you need to see, and your greatest show of prosperity is that you can, in fact, take this time for yourself.

Four of Swords – The Four of Swords card is all about rest and recovery. Down time, and recuperation. Everything pulled here from the affirmation card to the meditative blurb from my meditation timer is all about rest. They say… you might be starting to feel a bit better, but you need to rest today. Rest and let yourself recover a bit more. What you want to do today can be put off til tomorrow or the next, and now is the time to procrastinate.

Eight of Swords – Don’t ignore the warning signs of depression or its symptoms. Doing so will only end up biting you on the ass. Willful ignorance won’t save you, it’ll just let you play at being oblivious for a little while before things smack you in the face. Instead of trying to pretend everything’s fine, acknowledge what you’re feeling, and the signs and symptoms that arise, so that you can begin to counter act them in an effort to mitigate the worst of it… which will definitely come if you do nothing.

Page of Swords – Getting to our goals isn’t always easy.  It isn’t meant to be easy.  And sometimes we have to step back to the basics and look at things with fresh eyes instead of always plowing ever forward.

Covid-19 is no joke and you need to give your body the rest it needs.

Today’s meditation was ten minutes long, and was focused on the message in today’s cards, which is…

Two of Pentacles – Balance is needed in life in all things.  This includes in how you look at the world, and how you process events.  As your mind is  naturally inclined toward pessimism and negativity, it’s important to make sure that you balance those perspectives with a conscious effort toward positivity and optimism.  Doing so helps the world seem a little brighter, struggles a little lighter, and your worries and fears to appear not quite so scary.

The Empress – You can make struggles in life a little easier and recover from them a bit faster if you give yourself the nurturing and care that you need.  Don’t ignore your needs just because you can “power through” without dealing with them. Deal with them instead, and in doing so you won’t need to “power through”, but will be able to glide through more easily instead.

Hanged Man – It is difficult to see past one’s defenses when you are feeling vulnerable and bring them up. This makes it hard to see the strength that comes with vulnerability and accepting one’s vulnerability instead of fighting against it. Today’s cards are a reminder that there are all different kinds of strength. Instead of fighting to stay hard and tough all the time, seek out the strength that comes with being soft as well. You don’t have to be hard or cold to be strong. Warmth is just as  strong, just in a completely different way.
