Tarot of the Hidden Realm - Three of WandsThe @GlitterbyInk #JanJourney26 Embark to Renewal Challenge
The Departure Prompt for January 3rd : Momentum
Daily Mental Health Prompt: Seek a positive message to carry with you throughout the day and offer perspective.

Today’s draw is the Three of Wands, which is traditionally a representation of the first active step in a journey, progress towards a goal, and the seizing of opportunities.

Pick your speed instead of letting things run wild.

I love the imagery in this card, and how the depiction of the family is twined with roots shared between them.  Trees grow slow, you know.  And, I bet tree people do too.

That’s the thing, yeah? A lot of times when we’re embarking on a journey, project, or even just our day… it can be hard to get going.  Other times, we land on our feet and feel like we have to sprint.  In truth, though? We set our own pace.  We choose whether we greet a project, journey, or our day with wild and chaotic energy that has us zipping around like the mad hatter, or with calm temperance that allows us to move through the day at a glide.

The message in today’s “momentum” prompt and card is that it doesn’t matter what speed we start at, as long as we start.  Once the ball is rolling?  We can figure out what speed and energy works for us. Sometimes, starting is the hardest part.  Once we’re over that hurdle, it’s all cake.

Chapter 2 | Entry 1 – Love and Relationships
Affirmation : I love the qualities that my partner (or someone you admire) has in abundance.
Prompt : Traits you admire in other people can help you better understand what you seek to improve or accept about yourself. Meditate on a person you admire: a partner, a loved one, even a favorite celebrity. Then draw a card to understand where and how to take action in your life to cultivate this quality in yourself.

Tarot Activity from The One Card a Day Journal by Maria Sofia Marmanides - Axolo Tarot - The EmperorWhat feelings came up when I pulled this card?

A moment of confusion, which happens when my intuition doesn’t immediately jump in to say something. This means the answer in the card requires more reflection.

What elements of the card’s meaning resonate with me and this prompt?

The Emperor is often about leadership and making decisions for the greater good.

Gideon always has the tendency to think about me first before taking action. How will I respond? How will I feel or see things. These things don’t just make him a good partner, but a good Dominant as well. It’s never about his selfish whims or desires, because he always puts thoughts of me into the equation, and puts us and our relationship’s health above his own wants.

What in the artwork spoke to me?

The posture of the figure in this card is relaxed with a grin on its face. He’s just chillin’, regardless of the responsibilities he may carry on his shoulders or the weight of the crown on his head. This speaks to me of how I’ve often admired Gid’s ability to take on the weight of responsibility as if it weighs nothing at all. Especially in the D/s dynamic of our relationship. I, on the other hand, can and do Top, but the full weight of responsibility in taking the Dominant role will cause me to buckle after a time.

I’m also struck by how neatly the round leaves at the bottom of the card fit into the space there with no overlap.

My prompt response and reflections.

You do enough and aren’t built to be in that Dominant role full time. This difference between the two of you isn’t about improving yourself or picking up a new skill you admire, but about appreciating your differences more. You aren’t lacking by showing your love and dedication in your own ways, those ways are simply different than his. Don’t worry so much about taking on more of this trait, for your own traits balance his like two puzzle pieces that fit together perfectly.

#DiscordTarotholicsJan2026 Challenge
Prompt for January 3rd : Pull your most and least favorite cards from your deck and explain why you feel that way.

Note: I specifically chose to take this prompts as most and least favorite in this specific deck, rather than any and all decks, making this prompt about the artwork and it’s representation of the card’s theme rather than about the meanings of the cards themselves.

Tarot of the Hidden Realm - Ten of Swords and The MagicianMost Favorite – Ten of Swords

She is just so fierce! Only death will force her to yield, and maybe not even then.

The Ten of Swords is about endings, but it’s also about the horizon beyond. This card speaks to me both about putting your all into the “battle”, whatever that battle may be, as well as picking yourself up after you’ve crashed and burned. It speaks of pain as an accelerant and motivator, instead of as the thing that makes you buckle. I like that.

Least Favorite – The Magician

It’s the porn ‘stache. Between that and the somewhat sultry expression and appearance that he’s removing his robe? It just feels a little… sleazy. It strikes me with it every time I see this card.

I mean, the Magician is the “man with all the tools”, sure. And in a porn setting (which is what this imagery screams at me every time I see it), it’s clear this guy’s ready to go and has got what it takes… including the ‘stache.  It just gives me a little “nose wrinkle” kind of moment each time I see the image.

Britt's Third Eye Tarot - The High PriestessThe @GlitterbyInk #JanJourney26 Embark to Renewal Challenge
The Departure Prompt for January 2nd : Closure
Daily Mental Health Prompt: Seek a positive message to carry with you throughout the day and offer perspective.

Today’s draw is the High Priestess card, which is traditionally a representation of intuition, secrets, sacred knowledge, mystery, the subconscious mind.

You know when to let go. It’s stubbornness and fear that keeps you holding on when it’s time for things to end.

Just like other decisions in your life, if you trust your intuition and stop stubbornly resisting, you won’t regret letting go in the end. And, just like intuition? You can feel when you’re being stubborn. It’s that  internal sensation of balking.

The message in today’s card and “closure” prompt is encouragement to listen and trust. Listen to what’s going on within you, and when you feel that balking stubborn feeling, trust the underlying inner knowledge that you’re balking against… and allow closure to happen instead of trying to block it from happening.

Chapter 4 | Entry 13 – Career and Finance
Affirmation : I accept constructive feedback with grace.
Prompt : Write a career performance review of yourself from the perspective of the card you draw. What would the card say to you if they were sitting across from you? Would they emphasize your strengths or areas of improvement? I think about what our inner voice projects outward as you do this. This card can help you unpack what kind of self talk, positive or negative, is influencing you on a subconscious level.

Tarot Activity from The One Card a Day Journal by Maria Sofia Marmanides - TouHou TarotWhat feelings came up when I pulled this card?

When this card was first pulled, I reflexively gave a wry grin in response to the one on the face of the figure in the image. I find it interesting that I see a boy wearing a dress in this image, even though the illustration itself is androgynous other than the skirt.

What elements of the card’s meaning resonate with me and this prompt?

The topic of a career review combined with the Devil card speaks to me first and foremost of those mistakes I’ve made through chasing temptations and addictions. In my experience, career reviews are often about picking apart all the things you’ve done wrong, and have nothing to do with highlighting those things you’ve done right or excelled at.  Therefore, thoughts move to how those moments of indulging in temptation or addiction have influenced my career path, and how much further I might have gotten if I hadn’t allowed those distractions to get in the way.

What in the artwork spoke to me?

That smirking smile hits me first. Combined with the massive curved sword, it feels like it’s saying, “Just because I get where you’re coming from, doesn’t mean I won’t call you on it.”

Second in awareness is the “male” energy of the illustration combined with the “female” imagery of the skirt. Normally, I’d see this as depicting a type of balance, but in this case it feels like it’s highlighting contrasts and differences.

My prompt response and reflections.

The Devil says, “You’ve spent a lot of time avoiding doing things that need to be done over the past year. A large part of this is overwhelm, but there’s another part of this is a desire to languish, even when it’s unhealthy.

You have a great deal of unused potential due to this desire to languish in stagnation.

You are still keeping things afloat, and balancing on the line, but you could be doing much better.”

#DiscordTarotholicsJan2026 Challenge
Prompt for January 2nd : What do you need to focus on for self-care for this month’s full moon?

Tarot Reading with Britt's Third Eye Tarot - King of Swords, Eight of Wands, JudgementReading Summary: Let go of your need to control every little thing in life (King of Swords), and instead focus your energy on realigning (Eight of Wands) with your authenticity and who you want to become (Judgement).

Take Away: You have a tendency to get too wrapped up in trying to control every aspect of every little thing, keep everything “in line”, and have a plan for everything.

This full moon, try to focus on letting go of that need and loosening your grip a little bit.  Now that you’re feeling better and back on your feet, work on not seizing control quite so strenuously or holding on quite so tightly. Going with the flow will still get you where you ultimately want to be at a much more comfortable pace that allows you to enjoy more of the experience along the way.

I worked on getting things packed and ready to go today, and washed the sheets on the guest bed I’ve been sleeping in. (Now that I’m feeling better and my inner furnace is back to normal, I’ll be back to sleeping on the bed instead of in it for my last night here.)

Idiosyncradeck Tarot - Ten of Wands, Ten of ArrowsThe @GlitterbyInk #JanJourney26 Embark to Renewal Challenge
The Departure Prompt for January 1st : Embark
Daily Mental Health Prompt: Seek a positive message to carry with you throughout the day and offer perspective.

Today’s draw is the Ten of Wands (Arrows), which is traditionally a representation of overwhelm, burnout, struggling under too much responsibility, and can indicate a need to do some prioritizing and delegation.

When you pack a bag to go on a hike or camping trip, you have to weigh what you need vs what you want, and what you’re willing to sacrifice to do the trip you want to do. If your pack is too heavy, you’ll tire too soon.  If your pack is too light? It means you probably left behind something that you’re going to need.

This is the case in life as well. Our responsibilities and obligations are weighted, and we carry that weight on our shoulders day in and day out.

The message in today’s card and “embark” prompt is a reminder that as you move forward into a new month… and a new year, to be mindful of how much you are choosing to carry. Don’t look at that burden through the eyes of a refreshed soul, but rather, through the eyes of the tired one you will at some point become. Discard now what is going to be too heavy then.  For healthy regulation, this is a system of weights and balances that need to be considered whenever we decide to take on something new, whether it’s a new month, a new year, a new project, or any other responsibility.

Chapter 1 | Entry 13 – Self Care and Personal Development
Affirmation : I am always striving to better myself.
Prompt : The Universe wants you to succeed. Look into the card you draw as a special message of what your highest self and “the powers that be” want you to know about yourself in this moment and ways you can improve.

Tarot Activity from The One Card a Day Journal by Maria Sofia Marmanides - Starlight Arcana Astral TarotWhat feelings came up when I pulled this card?

I admit, there was a slight eye roll and a sigh when I first pulled this card. I had a feeling that this was the card that would come up, as temperance and moderation are one of my biggest struggles. It’s the obvious answer.

What elements of the card’s meaning resonate with me and this prompt?

As I said, moderation is not my strong suit. I have a tendency to push for more, whether because of past trauma that caused me to feel like neither I or anything I do is never enough, or because my addictive tendencies keep me striving for that next hit of dopamine. Either way, that drive to push beyond the limits of what’s healthy is not easy for me to temper.

What in the artwork spoke to me?

The soldier in this card is ready, but at rest. His shield is at hand, his sword is unsheathed, and yet his posture is almost lackadaisical. It’s clear there’s no rush, and just as clear that he has no intention of taking on any more than he has to.

My prompt response and reflections.

Soldiers have a very clearly defined job. They are expected to do exactly what they are trained to do, nothing more and nothing less. They train for that specific job, they wait for orders related to that specific job, they obey orders pertaining to that job. They aren’t running around doing extraneous jobs, making decisions unrelated to their purpose, or stepping on the toes of the higher ups. They stay in their lane with measured precision.

The soldier in this card is essentially doing just that; staying in their lane. This cards advice is that you remember to do the same. Don’t take on what isn’t yours to handle.

#DiscordTarotholicsJan2026 Challenge
Prompt for January 1st : Do the First Quarter Spread

First Quarter Year Tarot Reading with the Starlight Arcana Astral Tarot, Idiosyncradeck Tarot, Amethyst Oracle, and Pawsitive Vibes Affirmation Cards

Year Ahead Theme : The Devil

The Devil card is traditionally a representation of temptation, struggles with moderation, harmful excesses, addiction, and self-harm. Temptation is not always bad for you, but neither is it always good. It’s through grounded and sound judgement that we are able to make healthy decisions when choosing what temptations we indulge in and which ones we leave behind.

Theme for January : Three of Cups

Enjoy your time with others this January. This is a time for building stronger connections with those around you, especially through an atmosphere of fun, play, and revelry whenever those qualities can be included in your time with them.

Focus / Advice for January : Lava Lamp

Go with the flow. Instead of trying to bend everything to your will, let go and allow things to flow around you organically. Be easy… or as easy as you can be.

Ray of Hope for January : “I look forward to new horizons with Hope and excitement.”

Remember that sometimes our most treasured adventures are the unexpected ones we didn’t even know were coming, let alone had time to plan out.

Theme for February : The Devil

Be aware of the temptations that rise up this month and where they are coming from. Not all of them are innocuous, and you need to take care to pay close attention instead of just doubling down on old habits and latent desires.

Focus / Advice for February : Nostalgia

Don’t let them back in just because you have a tendency to want to see the good in people. Good and bad are not mutually exclusive. Pay attention to why you cut them out in the first place, and whether what you’re seeing now is wishful thinking or not.

Ray of Hope for February : “I protect my mental space with strength and courage.”

Boundaries are important, and just as important is that you enforce them. Remember that your boundaries are there to protect your heath and well being.

Theme for March : Queen of Arrows (Wands)

Because you enjoy inspiring others, there will always be a social aspect to your creative endeavors. This March is about sharing that inspiration, and helping others find it as well through sharing your own efforts with them.

Focus / Advice for March : Order

It might be challenging to stay organized while in the grip of inspiration. Creativity often breeds chaos, after all. Make sure you train your sights on not letting the chaos that’s intrinsic to creation get out of control.

Ray of Hope for March : “I stand firm in my beliefs and values.”

The social aspect of this means that you are opening yourself up to other’s judgements. Keep in mind that they are entitled to their opinion, and that doesn’t mean you have to either share it or internalize it. Stand tall in your creative spark, and don’t allow naysayers the space to cast shadows.

📆 Transitioning from December to January

Month End Check In Tarot Reading with The Herbal Tarot

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

The Star / Skullcap – Hopeful. In so many aspects of your life at this time, you harbor hope for better things to come. Better health. Better balance. Better stability. A greater sense of calm and connection. These are all things you are hoping for in the months ahead, and those hopes are currently riding at the surface due to the transition into not just a new month but also a new year.

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

Three of Swords / Pleurisy Root – Expel disappointments instead of holding onto them. It isn’t enough to wait them out and hope that things will change on their own. Be proactive in rejecting the rot of depression that disappointment can cause if left untended by giving yourself the attention and care you need during these times.

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

Four of Swords / Mullein – You’re sick and need time to rest and recover. This requires recuperative rest that will allow you to grow strong again. Breathe deep (do your breathing exercises to ensure that fluid doesn’t build up in your lungs) and get the rest you need. Don’t rush it.

Limitations – Negative influences, opposition, or ill will.

The Fool / Ginseng – Make sure as you feel better that you follow the upswing in energy. Don’t linger to wallow in the stillness of leisure because it’s comfortable. This isn’t about rushing, but it is about returning back to hale and healthy on the right foot.

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

Strength / Cayenne atop Six of Wands / Hawthorn – Movement is important. It sparks circulation, and when the blood is pumping the body is more open to motivation and movement. Small steps are fine. Don’t let the expectations of others push you to hurry. Just keep moving at your own pace.

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

Temperance / Echinacea – The words people say in anger or while inebriated are not lies. They are unvarnished moments of truth. Those things wouldn’t be said in these uninhibited moments if they didn’t live somewhere in their mind during inhibited ones. Neither alcohol nor anger creates what isn’t already there, it just makes it easier to say those hidden thoughts aloud.

Trust in the truth being shown to you.

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

Queen of Swords / Lady’s Slipper – The truth will set you free. All you have to do is listen and accept.

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

Two of Cups / Uva Ursi – Watch out for what (or who) might become a disruption otherwise harmonious relationships. Outside influences causing problems need to be gently dealt with. Take care to move on these things with caution and care, instead of your normal “off with their heads” aggression.

Empowerment – A future opportunity to work toward.

King of Pentacles / Alfalfa – Stability requires balance, just like your digestive system. That means stability isn’t about stagnancy, but about building strength through movement. Don’t hunker down and brace for the storm, instead build your agility by facing storms head on and adjusting your stance to stay strong.

Message from the Spirit World – Work with us (spirits and ancestors) and let us lead a bit more in your life, and you will reap the benefits of a greater sense of stability. Not all stability is the result of tight-fisted control.

Message from the Mind’s World – You’ll recover more quickly from moments of disappointment if you continue to focus on your practices in positivity and optimism, and allow yourself time to process your disappointments instead of expecting yourself to be impervious.

Message from the Physical World – Start activity again after your illness with a lean towards enjoyment and a shrewd eye on making sure you’re not going too far or doing too much.

Take Away – There’s lots of stress here on ensuring that you keep moving, even in small ways, both in those things you want to thrive as well as your body as a whole.  It’s time for rest and recovery followed by a slow start back to healthy and hale.  Don’t push, just don’t linger in one place either.

Watch for the revelation of hidden truths.  Don’t disregard them, as people are going to be showing their true colors  around you and you need to pay attention. This doesn’t mean acting rashly on anything learned, just pay attention and gather information. This knowledge could help you out later in putting things in perspective and making priorities.

Tarot Vintage - The Fool card and Daily Truth OracleDaily Mental Health Prompt: Seek a positive message to carry with you throughout the day and offer perspective.

Today’s draw is The Fool card, which is traditionally a representation of innocence, carelessness, carefree enthusiasm, and new beginnings.

The Fool card has then been combined with one of the Daily Truth Oracle cards, which says, “I am an authority on my life.”

Don’t allow others to tell you what you should enjoy. Your pleasures and joys are yours, and you can identify them far more easily than anyone else can.

When you find something that lights you up inside, sparks your interest, or breathes life into your curiosity? Allow yourself to grab hold of that thread and follow it instead of worrying what others may think. This is how you become a unique and diverse individual.  So screw the naysayers.

The message in today’s cards is encouragement to follow your joy and allow your curiosity to flourish. Don’t worry so much about what others will think. It’s your life, after all, so curate it into something that brings you joy.

New Years Tarot Reading with the Tarot Vintage deck

Sacred goodbyes → New intentions

The Sun and Two of Pentacles – Sometimes you have to sacrifice the bright and shining success you have in mind in order to foster a healthier balance in your life. There’s really only so much room in one’s life to fit so many endeavors. Sometimes, you have to choose which one is more important to you.  Prioritize wisely.

Healing the past → Inner leadership

Page of Pentacles and Ten of Pentacles – Be patient with yourself as you work on healing past wounds. Keep you eye on the goal of healthy closure/completion, and take others with you on the journey so they can help you remember to celebrate your wins as they come.

Karmic closure → Conscious arrival

Six of Swords and The Empress – It’s time to release those things that aren’t working for you. Use this time of transitions to reset to a more nurturing, care-centric focus that will make room for you to discover healthier habits and methods.

Wisdom gathered → Curiosity reborn

Five of Swords and The High Priestess – Look back upon your greatest victories and defeats, and get curious about where you could revisit these experiences to gain new information missed in the moment. There are secrets in these experiences yet to be discovered.

Trusting the flow → Frequency activated

The Star and Queen of Swords Rx – Speak less. Trust the process. Release control over whether what you say is hitting its mark and let things work themselves out on their own. You can only provide the message; it’s up to the recipient to actually listen and hear you, or disregard your words.

Cycles complete → Action and courage

Four of Swords and Six of Wands – Once your time of rest during the new year comes to an end, it’s time to “show them what you can do”. This isn’t about garnering praise, but might be a little bit about showing off for pride’s sake. Make sure that you’re rested and fully recovered first, though. That needs to take priority.

Energetic cleansing → New paths opening

Ten of Cups and Two of Cups – Find joy and appreciation in sharing good times with others. Allow this to create a sense of overall well-being for you that can be shared with those closest to you. That connection will then carry forward into new moments in the future.

Release and surrender → Soul purpose renewed

Ten of Wands and Judgement – It’s time to let go when things reach a point of overwhelm, instead of continuing to stubbornly keep moving. Put down your burden during these times, and take a moment to remind yourself of what you truly value and want. Then, return to what you’ve put down and pick up only what aligns with those values and goals.

Reflection & integration → Claiming your true path

Death Rx and Seven of Swords Rx – Look at the times over the past year where changes (and as a result, all progress and movement) were delayed, and the damage done by the stagnancy that resulted. Consider what you could have done differently in these situations to keep moving and escape the consequences that stagnancy wrought.

Completion • Release • Integration → Beginnings • Choice • Creation

Nine of Pentacles and The Devil – Now is a time to look back on your accomplishments and pat yourself on the back for them, then turn your gaze forward and flirt with your addictive tendencies to discover new interests and joys to explore. You can indulge and explore without going too far by leaning into self-awareness concerning those addictive tendencies.

Mimit Mini Mice Tarot - Seven of Swords and Cats Against Anxiety CardsDaily Mental Health Prompt: Seek a positive message to carry with you throughout the day and offer perspective.

Today’s draw is the Seven of Swords, which is traditionally a representation of strategic thinking, “sneaky shit”, or getting away with something. It can also often be about taking only what one can carry.

The Seven of Swords has then been combined with one of the Cats Against Anxiety cards, which says, “You’re so cute.”

You’re missing an important aspect in your plan.  Go back and look at everything again and consider what human aspect is not being considered.

The illustration in this Seven of Swords has a napping mama mouse below while a child mouse sneaks into the cupboard to steal some cookies, but what I saw when I -first- looked at the card was conspirators on a mission to steal cookies… and half the team fell asleep on the job.

This seems to say that you might trust those you choose to include in your efforts, and be attached to them in ways that are heart warming, but maybe they’re not the “conspirator” you need along for the ride for the plans you have in mind.

The message in today’s cards is about having the right tools for the job.  You wouldn’t take a hammer to a gun fight, and sometimes you need to look at those participating as tools in your arsenal rather than just people you trust.  Include those that will further your efforts and consider -not- including those that may leave you hanging when you need them most.

Bee Spirit and Cardinal Spirit – Respect and accept that hard work is how possibilities are turned into reality. Manifestation is not about wishful thinking, it’s about making a plan and putting in the work to create what you want from the ideas in your head.  Focus on leaning into the things you love to make this hard work feel less burdensome, and you’ll enjoy the journey as well as the rewards.

The World: How can I honor something in my life that has reached a successful completion?

Cat Spirit and Lion Spirit – Look back at where you were before, and the times when you have been under the thumb of others, and celebrate the freedom and autonomy you’ve gained in your life through the years since. This independence has always been one of your greatest needs and has driven you through the years. It’s time to consider that you might be in a place now in your life where you no longer need to use the loss of your independence as a fear with which to push yourself harder.  Consider working to sustain what you have accomplished in this area, rather than always striving for more.
