Winter Meditation Tarot Reading

 Winter Meditation Tarot Reading with the Traditional Manga Tarot

Hibernate – Judgement – Not everything has to have an end goal, and with those things that do, you need to be looking at the now instead of where you plan to end up. Trust yourself to stay on path without constant diligent concentration on your goals this winter.

Contemplate – Ace of Cup – Instead of burying your emotions as you usually do each holiday rush, this time try and keep them on the surface so that you can spend some time considering them and familiarizing yourself with them.

Protect – Nine of Cups atop King of Wands – Keep in touch with that spark that drives you forward towards your goals. It’s not always about seeing the end of the line and keeping it in sight, but rather wallowing in the excitement and spark of creativity this time of year can allow you to experience.

Let Go – The Magician Rx – You’ve had a lot of experience this year and feeling helpless and powerless. It’s time to set those experiences (and feelings that surfaced as a result) aside and reclaim your power and autonomy.

#TarotholicsChallengeNov2023 All Soul’s Day Spread

The All Soul's Day Oracle Reading with the Earth, Moon, & Shadow Oracle

A message that your Ancestors would like to give you at this time.

Reciprocity – You get what you give. Keep this in mind, for the constant seeking of balance is a universal rule of life.  Make sure you are putting out in the world what you want to receive from it in turn.

A message your Ancestors have been trying to convey that you have not been receptive to in the past.

Trinity – You aren’t alone, and you can’t do it alone. Don’t allow yourself to become isolated. Don’t shut others out.  Let them help you… encourage them to help you.

How to be more open to messages from your Ancestors in the future.

Dreams – Listen instead of discounting what you hear as invalid. Sometimes you choose to be ignorant of messages coming through, pretending they aren’t real or shutting them out instead of listening to them as closely as you should.

How to honor and connect more strongly with your Ancestors going forward.

Consumption – Allow your Ancestors to get closer. Holding them at a distance and ignoring their presence feels like protection, and it definitely can be, but if you want to honor and connect more strongly with them, you need to open up and let them in.

#DiscordTarotholicsOct2023 Challenge Thinning Veil Spread

The Thinning Veil Oracle Reading with the Lights In Dark Places Oracle

What Spirits have come to visit and walk with you while the veil is thin?

Lost & Wandering – Those spirits that have your best intentions at heart have come to walk with you while the veil is thin this year. They just want to see you back on solid footing, and stand by your side to assist you in getting there.

How are these spirits assisting in keeping you safe?

Each Day – They help you remember again and again to stay positive, both in your recovery and in your inner narratives. This reminder is something you need to hear over and over, or you slide back into old unhealthy habits.

What should you offer to these Spirits that are watching over you?

Fresh Start – Listen to them and work on that positive thinking. Don’t get down on yourself when you falter or backslide, but step forward and try again without punishment. You honor them by hearing what they have to say and truly listening to the encouragement they offer you.

What cycle from the past do your Ancestors hope that you will break?

The Good Stuff – Your hypercritical pessimistic inner narratives. These things you say to yourself are not you, but a spawn that was birthed through how you were treated when you were younger. They speak the language of an angry father, who spoke the language of an angry father before him. This is the cycle that needs breaking.

What do you know deep within your bones?

Listen to Your Heart – You are loved. Unconditionally. There are safe places for you.. safe harbors that are not places at all, but are the people that love you unconditionally and without reserve.

What do the Spirits and Ancestors need for you to learn?

Begin Again – Don’t give up, and don’t let those bad things that happened in your past turn you hard and ugly. They are not you. Each thing that doesn’t turn out the way you want it to is merely a lesson to teach you how to do better next time.

A message for you from the Spirits and Ancestors.

Don’t Live In Your Darkness – Keep striving for the light. Keep reaching for positivity and optimism.

#DiscordTarotholicsOct2023 Challenge Spread 3

Tarotholics October Challenge Reading with The Charming Disaster Oracle Deck

Smoky Quartz – Ground/Detoxify – How can you best clear negativity from your life and in turn gain greater stability?

Baba Yaga – When the others visited recently, there was a lot of speculation on why you were there and what you “get out of” being there. Don’t worry about it. You be you, and don’t worry so much about the impression you make on others. If they misconstrue your intent? That’s on them.

Apple – Insight/Good Health – What insight is needed to improve your physical health at this time?

The Lighthouse – There is a reason you have been warned multiple times recently to not go out alone. There is danger afoot. Heed those warnings, for if you ignore them the results could be catastrophic.

Chrysanthemum – Spiritual Defense and Protection – Where do your defenses and boundaries need some bolstering?

The Wolf – Be wary of strangers. More wary than normal.

Aquamarine – Calm/Courage – In what ways can meditation promote more calm and confidence in your life?

Manta Rays – Meditation allows you to glide through life more smoothly, even in times of surprise or upheaval. This then gives you the ability to appreciate life and the world around you more fully.

Mint – Love/Cleansing – What factor in your relationships needs some reevaluation and perhaps adjustment?

The Pigment – Don’t ignore issues and let them ride out. They will not clear up, but rather fester into a fatal toxicity in your relationships if you don’t deal with them.

Carnelian – Creativity/Vitality – In what ways can including more creativity in your life brighten your daily outlook?

Immortality atop The Scapegoat – Creativity on a daily basis creates for you a release of negativity, allowing you to connect with a more timeless energy not so apt to drag you down.

Pomegranate – Fertility/Wishes – What wish of yours is ready to be manifested into reality at this time?

The Experiment – You have an opportunity, however briefly, to play both in work and more personal pursuits. Don’t pass it over for the mantle of responsibility.

Escaping Mercury Retrograde Oracle Reading with The Revolving Time Oracle

Forgive yourself for mistakes made, you are only human.

Time is Hidden atop Time to Charge Forward – There has been enough time for things to heal and now is time to begin pushing for recovery. Don’t allow for any lingering in laziness as has been tried a time or two so far and you have allowed through your hovering. It’s time to show her what she is capable of.

Celebrate what you’ve accomplished, no matter how small.

Integrity – You have stuck to your guns and stayed true to who you are even during the most trying of circumstances. There have been plenty of times over the past couple of months when the temptation to step away from your values has been something lingering in your mind, and yet you continue to stay true to yourself.

Forgive yourself for not completing everything you wanted to.

Time is Dependent On Another Factor – You have had a lot more than you’ve ever tackled before on your plate. Some things had to give to make everything else work. This isn’t failure, but prioritizing, and nothing to beat yourself up over.

Rejoice in knowing that communications will go back to normal.

Don’t Miss the Opportunity When the Time Comes – You don’t need to continue to hold your tongue on things that need a touch of persuasion. You noticed when you stopped being able to sway things your way with your words. Now that Mercury Rx is over, that ability to be persuasive will begin return once more.

Energy will begin to flow more freely and clarity will return. This is an excellent time to set some new goals.

Breathe – Meditation is a practice, which means that it needs regularity. Make it a priority to do daily, even when you aren’t feeling enthusiastic about it.

Stop Wasting Time – Get going on the holiday rush prep that needs to be done. The more prepared you are, the easier things will go once the rush starts.

Aquarius Season – Look forward to the end of the holiday season, and see that time that’s coming as a goal to get you through the rough parts to come in the next few months.
