🎨 Weekly Creativity Prompt – Different Scenarios

Prompt The purpose of this activity is to practice interpreting small spreads by combining card meanings, symbols and intuition. We will all interpret the same cards based on a few different (imaginary) situations. A 3 card spread will be posted together with 2 more specific scenarios. It’s your choice which scenario you’d prefer to use, or if you’d rather do a general reading of these cards as for an imaginary querent.

Slavic Legends Tarot - Nine of Swords, Six of Cups, Page of Coins

Scenario 1 – Illona is a constant prankster, but realized that one of their recent pranks went too far. They want to know how to make up with their friend.

The prank you played on your friend has left some lingering uncertainties and fears behind for them that they’re struggling to get over. To effectually reconcile with your friend, you will need to show them how much you value your past with them and that connection between you that was build over time, and allow them to see how bereft you feel with this change in your relationship. They need to feel valued.

Scenario 2 – Grey just got out of a situation where he felt trapped for years. He’s been riding the high of being free, but wants to know what to do with himself now that it’s finally over.

You struggled with feeling trapped for a really long time and it’s absolutely natural to be feeling that high of freedom now that you are free of that situation.

These cards suggest tapping back into old friends and loved ones that may have been left in the rear view over the past few years. There will be times in the future where you’re going to struggle with being alone. Start rebuilding those past connections now to help in mitigating those feelings later on.

The Salmon Run

Today’s meditation was skipped.

Slavic Legends Tarot, Two of Swords, It's Going to Be Okay 2024 Day-to-Day Calendar by Kate AllanToday’s draw is the Two of Swords combined with the affirmation “I don’t know if I will make it, but I will still try.”

I know the fish in this affirmation card is a koi, but with the affirmation that was used with it, it reminds me of salmon. Each year they strive to swim upstream under what seems like insurmountable odds to lay their eggs in the safe streams of their youth (as opposed to the treacherous oceans they come from as an adult).  The species lives on because they beat those insurmountable odds again and again, year after year.

Today’s cards are a reminder that we all have to make hard choices and survive the trials and tribulations of life.  Just because something feels difficult or impossible doesn’t mean it’s not worth choosing.  In fact, those are usually the things that reap the greatest rewards in the end if you put your all into the effort.

Funny enough, at the end of my day I stumbled across someone online who was bitching about not wanting to have to go through “trials and tribulations” in order to reap the reward of good stuff at the end. I was far more irritated and offended by that (what I interpreted to be an extremely) entitled attitude than I expected I would be.

@Lionharts #TheJanuaryTarot 2024 January Initiation Prompt
Questions for January 19th thru 22nd

Slavic Legends Tarot - Eight of Wands, Five of Cups, Four of Swords, Ten of Coins, Ten of PentaclesHow can I further stoke my fires of creativity and innovation to propel my plans or projects forward? (draw a Wands card)

Eight of Wands Rx – Keep moving, but do it slowly. Don’t get so wrapped up in too many things at once and try to push them all forward at top speed.

What actions or practices can I integrate to enhance my emotional well-being and fulfillment? (draw a Cups card)

Five of Cups – Stay aware of how your negative inner narratives and pessimistic tendencies affect your mood. Take care to counterbalance their effects instead of sinking into the negative emotions they stir up.

How can I integrate fresh perspectives or mindset shifts into my current state of being (draw a Swords card)

Four of Swords – Don’t be lazy in your times of rest. Use down times to rest and recover, absolutely… but while doing so, take that time to consider and ruminate rather than going brain dead and numb.

How can I practically integrate steps into my daily life to bring these aspirations into reality? (draw a Pentacles card)

Ten of Pentacles – Remember that you are not alone. Allow others to join you in your journey and share in your success. It doesn’t have to be a one-man show.

Daily Self Kindness

When I woke up this morning, I took an ibuprofen and then went back to bed for an hour instead of forcing myself to power through the pain.
