Saying Goodbye

/ Twist the Leaf / 1 Comment

Today’s meditation was skipped. In fact my entire day and routine has gone to shit.

Gnostic Tarot and How to Be a Wildflower DeckToday’s draw is the Six of Air (Swords), which is traditionally a representation of leaving behind what is unhealthy and isn’t working in order to seek out something better on the horizon.

Today I am grieving for someone I considered in many ways more of a father to me than my own passed away. There was time for a quick FaceTime call to say goodbye, and the imagery in this card mimics the sight of him in his hospital bed, in the angle of the body, the tilt of his head… etc.

These cards are a message of reassurance. They speak of him leaving on his own terms. That he was ready, and it was time.

Questions for November 19th: What is…

Gnostic TarotBlocking My Way

Three of Fire – Hesitation. Yourself. Not “everyone” is on board. Within the shadow of the self there lies resistance to moving forward.

Distracting My Attention

The Fool – You want to fuck around instead of buckling down. This longing for something more carefree and less responsible is new for you and keeps tugging your focus off of your goals.

Tying My Hands

Man / Hero of Air – Impulsivity. When you impulsively follow the fool’s lead, you decrease your options by wasting time chasing windmills.

I made sure to keep up with my eating today, regardless of the fact I want hungry.

Snuffing Out Candles

/ Twist the Leaf / 1 Comment

Today’s meditation was skipped. (Not a surprise, right?)

The Somnia Tarot and How to Be a Wildflower DeckToday’s draw is the Nine of Wands, which is traditionally about boundaries, protection, resilience, and the testing of one’s strength and faith.

I get an intuitive hit off of the imagery in both of these cards and how they connect to each other.  This speaks to me in a voice of encouragement, and says that it’s okay to compartmentalize a bit, but not to turn my emotions off.

My business has grown exponentially over the past ten years. And… so have I.   But I forget sometimes that growth isn’t just about effort and work.  In fact, I often try to close off everything but the work and emotion, especially during this time of year when the holiday rush is upon me.

These cards are a reminder that I don’t have to protect myself from my emotions, nor protect my business from them. A bit of compartmentalizing while still allowing them some attention and freedom to breathe will serve me much better than snuffing them out by trying to close them away.

Questions for November 11th: Think about something you are truly longing for right now. Why is this important to you? Draw a card (or cards) for feedback on your thoughts.
My Desire: A loved one to recover and be able to go home from hospital safely.

The Crystal Forests Oracle and Personal Space TarotOn the Subject – Peace and Seven of Wands – He’s going to have to make the choice to want to fight instead of giving in. Find him things to fight for and he will be at peace with what needs done to strengthen and recover.

Why It’s Important – Altruism and Eight of Pentacles – Because you love him deeply and unconditionally, and you want what’s best for him. Seeing him not living at his best and not filled with his normal confidence bothers you.

Practical Advice – Manifestation and The Empress – Be supportive and help him see that there is still more good to come in his life as long as he wants there to be.

Tarot Nerd’s Better Boundaries Tarot Challenge Prompt
Questions for November 9th thru 11th

The Somnia TarotHow can I be a better listener?

Six of Coins – Less you, more them. Get out of your own head and give your attention fully to others, instead of allowing your inner dialogue get in the way of giving your full attention.

What does “respect” mean to me?

Five of Coins and The Moon – Respect is making the effort look beyond our assumptions and petty differences in perspective, and beyond one’s secret fears, to see the other side more clearly.

What does “acceptance” mean to me?

Two of Wands – Acceptance is allowing oneself to make plans that include whatever needs accepting. It is about there being a future with [whatever that thing that needs acceptance is] as a part of the path forward.

I made sure to take a few breaks today to spend time with Gideon in order to break up orders day a bit so that the subdrop wouldn’t just slam me out of the blue (hopefully)
