September 4

Eight of Cups – “You are a fighter, ever onwards”, but sometimes you need to know when it’s time to let it go and walk away.  You can’t fight every battle, and sometimes when things fall apart? It’s for a reason. Instead of trying to piece things back together that have not been working for you for a while now, consider letting them go.  Yes, it hurts and it’s disappointing, but it’s only when you toss the broken shit that you can begin the mending of your own heart.

The Sun – Today’s card(s) are a reminder that you are enough. Right now.  All on your own.  Without apology.  They are a reminder to own who you are, flaws and all, for it is through knowing yourself and owning who you are that you are able to find success and happiness in life.  Don’t spend so much time trying to “fix” yourself or apologizing for yourself that you miss out on all the good stuff that acceptance of the self can bring.

September 6

Two of Swords –  “You can do the thing!” You just have to put your mind and focus to it.  I’m not entirely sure what “the thing” is, but this advice goes well for a whole lot of things.  It advises that when you are feeling uncertain and dealing with self doubt, that the way past that and to success is to just DO it instead of waffling and second guessing yourself.  I can relate to this… because sometimes when you think too much or get too many perspectives, you end up stymied.  Today’s card is a reminder not to let that happen, but actually make the decision to act instead.

Dionysian Mysteries Lenormand Reading

The #lucetseptembertarotchallenge Dionysian Mysteries Challenge
Questions for September 1st thru 4th – The Dance of Life

Dionysian Mysteries Challenge with The Early Riser's Lenormand

The Essence of Dionysus – Draw a card that gives you insight into the energy of Dionysus and how to welcome it into your life.

Stag and Bat (Man and Fox) – Dionysus connects with that part of you that is unpredictable and keeps people’s guessing. It is the joy in those moments that allows you to welcome this quality into your life, for it speaks of a bit of harmless mischievous fun.

The Vineyard – Which aspect of yourself must you let go of to make room for new growth?

Light (Cross) and Soul Family – Let go of the feeling that those you choose as family are a burden to you. See them in a better light than that. Yes, right now, you’re dealing with a lot of responsibility and it’s put a lot of weight on you, but work to make sure you don’t tilt into thoughts of them as a burden.

The Dance – How can you free yourself and express your inner passions?

Moon and Ship – Explore your emotions and allow them the freedom to be expressed openly. Instead of burying them or hiding them,  you need to delve in and take a closer look at them.  As they become more familiar, they will become easier and easier to express confidently in healthy ways.

Ecstasy – What makes your heart beat faster and your soul light up?

Birds and Jewels – Your time spent in play on the rp server, allowing you time to be with those important to you while feeling as if you are shining bright for all to see. Even when you aren’t playing but just chatting now and then with Gid and the friends that are there, it allows you a moment now and then to shine brighter from within… although that “heart beat faster” part is all for him and how special and important he makes you feel.

Be With Your Body Tarot, Tarot of the Everlasting Day, RainShadow Tarot, and Thera-Pets Emotional Support Animal Cards

September 1

Ace of Hips (Cups) – You matter… and so do your emotions and how you feel about things.  Don’t let your feelings stay buried, as they can cause some unpleasant physical repercussions when you do. Specifically?  It can cause your IBS to act up.   Instead, speak up and share your emotions with those that need to hear what you are feeling… and with those that you trust to help you process them.

The Hermit – Today’s card is a reminder that it’s okay to need that alone time, and the cuddle time with Miss Luna when you are able to get a bit of it.  Don’t feel guilty about it, thinking you are taking away from other responsibilities in order to be “selfish”.  It’s needed for your mental health, and for hers too.  You’re allowed to need that, and to take it when you can.

King of Swords – “You are going to get through this just fine”, it’s just going to take a bit of leadership and strategy to get there.  Take the initiative and activate that clever mind of yours to show others how it’s done and inspire them to follow your lead. Creative thinking on safety measures and physio exercises is a must right now to help Ms B re-discover her independence and confront her fears.

❤️ 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 Tarot of the Everlasting Day and Coffee Cup Oracle

Earth – Three of Cups – Try to find some time to have some fun with others this week. Lean into laughter and making everyone feel included. It will help build a more cohesive unit, and a greater sense of stability if you do.

Air – Seven of Swords atop Ten of Wands – Remember that if you don’t deal with and mitigate feelings of overwhelm, they will sneak their way into the territory of burnout and end up stealing away your energy and confidence.

Water – The Devil – Stay mindful that your emotions can drive you to unhealthy behaviors. Make sure that you are dealing with your emotions instead of letting them fester so that you can avoid going down that road.

Fire – Ace of Wands – It’s okay to let yourself get excited and enthusiastic about something. Work on incorporating a bit of passion into your days instead of trying to smother that aspect of yourself.

Waning – Eye and Heart – Be grateful for what you have instead of feeling envious that you don’t have more. You are getting time with him that you weren’t before. Is it as much as either of you want? No. But feeling envious about that solves nothing and brings a negativity into the equation that doesn’t need to be there.

Waxing – Dove and Snake – It might not seem like it, but this week would be an excellent time to drown.

Cosmic Coven Tarot - The High PriestessAugust 31

The High Priestess – You learn through experience, and so does your intuition. Living here with Ms B has been difficult and there’s been a lot of physical and emotional struggle, but there is also intuitive growth happening during this time. Being in a home with active spirits of the dead (as opposed to the Fae that occupy your own home) is giving you a chance to stretch your wings in your mediumship abilities. In this way, remember that you are gaining from this experience with Ms B as well as learning, experiencing, and growing stronger. Not just physically or emotionally, but intuitively as well.

Month End Check-In Tarot Reading with The Land of Stories Tarot

Here and Now I Exist – Who you are now, in your entirety.

Strength Rx – You are not feeling particularly powerful at the moment, and are struggling with self confidence while powering through. Self doubts are natural, but take care not to let them take over.

The Slough – What is to be left in the past as you move forward.

The Star – Wishful thinking. Things cannot change unless -you- put in the work to change them. Sitting back and waiting for them to change on their own is not the answer.

What Lies Ahead – An ideal state or ideal self you are seeking at this time.

The Hermit atop Queen of Wands – Independence to once again pursue your own passions and inspire others to do the same. You want to get back to the status quo where you have the alone time and independence you need, and the room to foster your creative spirit and let your creativity flow.

Limitations – Negative influences, opposition, or ill will.

Two of Cups – Those loved ones closest to you in your life right now. Your current situation is a together sort of thing, and you can’t get out of it, but that doesn’t mean it’s healthy for you and you need to be aware of that.

The Boon – Positive influences, higher guidance, or divine intervention.

Seven of Wands – You are stubborn and strong, and have the ability to fight back by doing things for yourself that are right for you. Even when others might think they are being selfish or try to make you feel bad about them.

The Wound – An unpleasant past experience or event that is ripe for some support and healing.

Ten of Wands – Don’t forget that you can only carry so much. You know what the sensations of burnout feel like, and the things you can do to mitigate them. You are flirting with that line again and again this year, and you need to do more for yourself to keep from crossing over into burnout again.

Nostalgia – A positive past experience or event to acknowledge, reflect upon, and enjoy.

Ace of Swords – You are smart, capable, and know how to communicate your needs. Look back on times when you have done so well, and use them to bolster you into doing the same in the present.

A Warning – Something coming that can be prevented or overcome.

Nine of Cups – Don’t get comfortable. Remember that when you slow down, that’s when shit hits the fan. Better to keep moving than lay back and relax and end up being shaken back to life by the harsh bite of fate.

Empowerment – A future opportunity to work toward.

Ten of Coins – A return to a sense of stability and security is absolutely possible. The month ahead provides you the opportunity to make that happen, and as long as you keep working toward that goal, you’ll get there.

Message from the Spirit World – Don’t fall into sitting on your laurels and enjoying what you have, you still need to fight for what you really want to achieve.

Message from the Mind’s World – It’s okay to feel weak sometimes as long as you keep your chin up and give yourself what you need in order to heal and recover your spark.

Message from the Physical World – Put upon others in your life the responsibility of finding ways to take some of the weight off your shoulders. Show them you need their help.
