Cat Tarot by Louis Art - Justice CardThe @GlitterbyInk #NovemberWhispers25 Liminal Dreamland Challenge
Truth-Teller Prompt for November 12 : Dream
Daily Mental Health Prompt: Seek a positive message to carry with you throughout the day and offer perspective.

Today’s draw is the Justice card, which is traditionally a representation of balance, cause and effect, repercussions and consequences, give and take, and can often indicate the law or legal system.

What comes around, goes around. Or… so we hope.

I’m a big fan of balance and fairness. It has often been proposed to me that this is part of my Taurus nature. I also like to see people get what’s coming to them when they screw me over in some way. It’s been suggested to me that this is a part of my nature in having a Scorpio moon.

Whatever the reason, sometimes it’s really hard to wait for what I see is justice’s retribution as the scales of balance swing back in their direction and hit them in the face.

The thing is? I don’t want to just believe that it’ll happen, I want to see it happen. (Again, Scorpio moon anyone?) Sadly, that’s not always possible.

The message in today’s card and “dream” prompt is a reminder that although we cannot always witness these moments when others receive their comeuppance, it can still be fun to daydream about retribution without actually acting on it ourselves. After all, if we act on it ourselves, who’s to say that we don’t go too far and end up having to get hit in the face as well.

So, go ahead and dream about it… just don’t act. Let the scales balance themselves out instead.

Tarot Reading with the Grimalkin Curious Cats Pocket Tarot and Cat Mythos & Magick OracleFive of Pentacles

What story am I telling myself about worth or belonging?

The Hierophant and Self-Reliance – A piece of fiction that was sold as fact that the values of self-worth you were raised with are valid. This story insists that self-worth is based upon performance and self-reliance, hard work and success. Although these factors can play a part in self-worth, they should not be its foundation, nor its sole focus.

Where am I feeling scarcity, and what help might I be overlooking?

The Star; Shape-shifter atop Mysterious Guide – You are depending too much on your own perspectives during times when your mentality of scarcity is taking over. During these moments when your hope and optimism is at its lowest, you need to lean into messages of support from others instead of trying to stand strong and alone upon the shifting sands of your perceptions.

Five of Cups

What grief or disappointment am I carrying, and what healing might begin if I acknowledge it?

Ace of Pentacles and Self-Worth – You’ve lost a lot lately in the area of opportunities for your business, your entrepreneurial efforts taking a harsh blow. Focusing on pulling back from equating your successes to your self-worth will help immensely in beginning the healing needed in this area.

Strength Tarot Reading with the Cat Tarot

What are you wrestling with inside yourself?

Eight of Cups – Seeing your business involuntarily downgraded from your main source of income back to a “side job” has been a significant blow to your confidence. With the factors involved out of your control, you’ve been tempted more than once to walk away since things detonated in the last week of August. This is still a theme that returns now and then through your mind, even though you’re starting to sort things out a bit now.

Where do you need to apply compassion?

Four of Pentacles – It’s okay to feel like you are on the defensive and need to hold on tight right now. Where often that tight grip of control can be a detriment, during this time when things are uncertain, being a bit of a control freak and more miserly than usual can be a boon.

How can you find strength in spirit?

Page of Cups – Let your emotions run their course and observe what they do. Just don’t give into the “what if” scenarios that your imagination may bring rise to. Instead, lean into creative endeavors that make you happy, regardless of if you’re good at them or not.

How can you find strength in body?

Six of Swords – Weigh what you consider to be a success against what others consider to be success… and find a happy medium, where you can both enjoy the fruits of your efforts as well as the journey. In efforts collaborating with others, your opinion is just as valuable as theirs.

How can you find strength in mind?

The Moon atop Ten of Cups – Don’t allow your (current and temporary) feelings of uncertainty to distract you from what is good in your life. Those moments of uncertainty are difficult to ignore, so don’t ignore them. Just find enjoyment where you can regardless of their presence.

The Guardian of the Night Pocket Tarot - TemperanceThe @GlitterbyInk #NovemberWhispers25 Liminal Dreamland Challenge
Truth-Teller Prompt for November 11 : Midwife
Daily Mental Health Prompt: Seek a positive message to carry with you throughout the day and offer perspective.

Today’s draw is the Temperance card, which is traditionally a representation of moderation, balance, slowing down, practicing patience, and can at times represent a connection between the physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual.

When a woman is expecting, sometimes they choose to involve a midwife. This midwife is a person who provides guidance for the health and safety of both mother and child. They become a force in the pregnancy that promotes moderation and temperance.

Their guidance is there to help instill not just enthusiasm, but also patience, for a pregnancy is a long journey of nine months and there’s very little immediacy involved.

The message in today’s card combined with the “midwife” prompt is a reminder that even during times when you are very excited and your enthusiasm is high, make sure that you are adding a little bit of moderation and temperance into your approach. That’s not saying to rain on your own parade or ruin the experience, merely make sure that your health and safety are taken into account on the journeys that you choose to go on.

Where do you take the lead?

The Seeker, The Drift, The Haven – When chaos reins or things seem out of control, you seek a safe place to find an anchor in the storm and draw others with you to seek shelter there once it’s found.

Where might you exercise self-control?

The Pioneer and Duality – You decide who you are and the person you become. No one else does this for you. It’s all about your choices and how those choices combined together to create the person you become in the future. Therefore it’s important to make your choice choices wisely.

Where can you let go and trust?

The Alchemist and The Persona – As you move forward in your journey there will be both hard times and easy ones. With a concerted effort, you can let go of being on guard all the time, and trust that both your times of struggle as well as your times of boon are providing you the building blocks to grow into who you want to become.

What vision guides your path forward?

The Guide, The Watchman, Preservation – You have absolutely no interest in helping just yourself, but want to help others as well to find lasting safety and happiness. This reflects back to the first question in this reading in reference to where you lead.

Living Earth Tarot - Two of Swords, Two of FeathersThe @GlitterbyInk #NovemberWhispers25 Liminal Dreamland Challenge
Truth-Teller Prompt for November 10 : Lineage
Daily Mental Health Prompt: Seek a positive message to carry with you throughout the day and offer perspective.

Today’s draw is the Two of Swords (Feathers), which is traditionally a representation of crossroads, difficult decisions, needing more information, seeking inward for answers, weighing one’s options, and sometimes avoidance.

Discernment vs discrimination.

These terms, in my opinion, overlap. It’s like those venn diagrams where two circles overlap to create a third area of combined traits.

I’ve experienced a lot of discrimination in life due to my appearance, my father even more so. I can’t really look beyond him in my personal lineage, as there’s no resources to plumb, but I would imagine that he and I weren’t the first in our family to experience such things.

Through those experiences, “knowledge” has been passed down in how to behave in the company of others, who to gravitate towards (and away from), etc.

The thing is, though, how much of this carried down knowledge taught from generation to generation is actually a value, and how much of it is just bullshit built on prejudice and discrimination?

This happens with even small things like a great grandfather from a long ago war telling his great grandson that Asian people eat with chopsticks. Knowledge which this child carries into adulthood and then is surprised the first time they see a Korean eating rice with a spoon.

With such innocuous misinformation carried forward so easily through decades, it poses the question… how much misinformation are we carrying forward with us that’s not so innocuous?

The message in today’s card and the prompt of “lineage” is a reminder to challenge your preconceived notions and discriminatory knowledge. Every culture has these things they believe about other cultures, every person has these things that they believe about other people. Sometimes we pick them up from society and other times they are carried down through generations in our families.

Today’s message challenges us to not just go along with “the party line” just because it’s what we’ve been taught or what “sounds good”, but to actually explore and make up our own minds through personal experience.

The Lovers Spread

The Lovers Tarot Reading with The Mythical Creatures Tarot and Life's Seasons Oracle

What choice brings you closer to love or self-love?

Five of Swords and Clan of the Moon – When you let go of your fear of exposing your vulnerability, it brings you closer to love and self love. Your fight to stay strong and not let others see your vulnerabilities and weaknesses hold you back from them and the love they have to offer while simultaneously punishing yourself for these vulnerabilities. If you want to be closer to love and self love, you need to work on accepting your vulnerabilities rather than trying to hide them away.

What choice aligns you with your higher self?

The Fool and Entwined Roots – When you choose to allow yourself to stretch beyond your comfort zone, especially in the area of fun and play, it helps in aligning you with your “higher self”. A great deal of your strategizing, planning, and preparations that you do in life are about protection. When you let go of that need to protect, it helps you to connect with something raw and real that otherwise is hidden away from yourself and the world at large.

What choice risks pulling you out of alignment?

Wheel of Fortune and Portal Into the Depths – Allowing yourself to fall into negative narratives when things aren’t going the way you expect them to opens you up to dipping into depression and pulls you out of alignment with your path and purpose.

What choice will expand your growth?

Ten of Swords and Desert Seclusion – Making the choice to move on from moments of defeat and failure instead of wallowing in the pain helps you to expand your growth. When you choose to keep moving instead of wallowing in your misery, you are able to recover faster and look back to find the boon that much sooner than you otherwise would.

Foraged Oak Branch with Moss and Lichen for Perseverance

Tarot Reading with the Living Earth Tarot and Folklore OracleFour of Pentacles

What am I holding onto too tightly?

Four of Wands and Selkie – This question should be what aren’t you holding onto too tightly. You’re stubborn to a fault. You want to do things your way,  you want them to look your way, and you want things to be your way… and your formidable will has a tendency to push for just that.

It is that formidable will that you need to let go of, though. Especially if you want to remain comfortable in your own home and more comfortable overall in the world. Being too rigid will not serve you well.

Four of Cups

What is distracting me from recognizing new opportunities?

The Hierophant and Garden – You spent too much worrying about how things should be done instead of thinking outside the box and exploring new methods. It’s true that sometimes it’s easier to just fall back on old traditions and all that came before, but if you do this too often it becomes a bad habit.

What would getting out of my comfort zone look like?

King of Pentacles and Gold – Getting out of your comfort zone more often would lead to a journey of self discovery towards a greater sense of “self”. As a result, as you learn to accept more of yourself, you learn to value yourself more.

Tarot of Dürer - Three of WandsThe @GlitterbyInk #NovemberWhispers25 Liminal Dreamland Challenge
Truth-Teller Prompt for November 9 : Whisper
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.

When you want to accomplish something, you need to step beyond the silence. Action requires boldness. It requires moving beyond watching and waiting, beyond planning into actually stepping up and stepping forward.

When the time to act arrives, it’s no longer time to whisper and go about silently doing all the planning and preparation. Beginnings require more than that. They require stepping out of that safe space and being loud.

The message in today’s card is that you can only plan for so long before there’s nothing left but to step out of your shell and actually start moving. That place of planning and whispers may feel safe, but it can only get you so far before you have to step out of the shadows and take action. Lingering in that safe space beyond that point just creates unhealthy stagnancy.

Do Spread 2 : Advice I need to hear at this time concerning my ambitions.

Tarot Reading with Tarot of the Woodland Wardens and Wild Medicine Cards v2

Reading Summary: There is a color correlation between the ram’s clothing in the King of Pentacles and the hyssop flowers in the anchor card, which draws the attention to the base of the ram’s throne. This connection speaks of a need for a strong foundation in order to back up the success that you seek (as seen in the dog in the background of the Ten of Pentacles, who is also close in color match with the hyssop card.

In the Three of Wands, there is no blatant correlations aside from that of the vertical wands standing tall, which connects to the trees in the King of Pentacles and the stalk of the hyssop in the anchor card; standing tall in the center of its own card. There is also a slight color connection between the Three of Wands background and the anchor card’s background. These factors communicate a need for action after you get your foundation in place. You have to be able to stand strong first, before movement can begin towards your dreams and aspirations.

Take Away: This message expands on the Card of the Day message pulled this morning, which is that you can only go so far with planning and preparation before you actually have to start moving towards your goals and take action. The reminder here is that you need to make sure that that foundational planning and preparation is in place first. Don’t jump the gun just because you want to get there faster.

My Desire – Goldenrod – You want to ensure that you are going in a healthy direction, and try to prioritize this above everything else.

An Obstacle In My Path – Lemongrass – Your negative inner narratives and your drive toward addiction and excess are your greatest obstacles when trying to set yourself on a healthy direction.

The Solution – Clary Sage – Focus on clarity of mind and self-awareness. You need to be able to see clearly what you’re doing and the motivations behind your actions in order to circumvent these less healthy tendencies and habits.

What challenges do I usually face when collaborating with others?

The Hanged Man and A Light In the Forest – While happy to listen to other people’s perspectives and try things their way, you often find that others are not willing to do the same for you. They either want to take control, or they want you to take control and lead them. You have found that, in your experience, collaboration very rarely results in an actual give-and-take from both parties.

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 Wicked Moon Tarot and ScandiNight Lenormand

Earth – Nine of Pentacles – Celebrate your accomplishments. This is a time of harvest, and you should be paying attention to what you have brought in and how to preserve it through the winter months. Remember that this includes practices of gratitude and enjoying the fruits of your laborers.

Air – Seven of Cups Rx – Don’t worry so much about making choices right now. Just go with the flow and observe. Sometimes the right answers will land in your lap if you just give them time to sort themselves out.

Water – The Magician Rx – Remember that you don’t have to be in control all the time, and this is especially true with concern to your emotions. Sometimes they swirl in their own direction, and you’re just left to ride it out instead of trying to fix it.

Fire – Nine of Swords – Mistakes are a part of the process when you’re learning something new. Make sure that you’re not being too hard on yourself or falling into “end of the world” thought patterns in these moments.

Waning – Fox and Fish – Don’t go along with it just because you think it’s clever. I’m not sure what this is in reference to at the moment, but it looks like some kind of “get rich quick” scheme that you need to avoid when it comes up. Keep your distance and don’t buy into the hype.

Waxing – Cross and Scythe – Take care this week to make choices that will cut down on your feelings of being burdened.

Take Away – This week is going to challenge your need for control, and if you take care with your actions, may help you in learning to let go and go with the flow more, instead of trying to steer everything with an iron grip.  Work on connecting with a mindset of gratitude and setting fears of scarcity aside will help with this.   Don’t go adding more to your plate right now. You have enough responsibilities and obligations to contend with at the moment.

Navigating the Path

/ Twist the Leaf / Leave a comment

Today’s meditation was a ten minute long #DailyCalm session from the @Calm app that focused on the ancient Greek concept of sophrosyne, which is described as a healthy approach to moderation based on a deep sense of self-awareness.

“(The sophrosyne) philosophy begins by acknowledging our excesses and then mindfully recognizing the difference between need and want. Once we recognize how and why we over-consume, sophrosyne suggests that we focus on what we’ll gain rather than what we’ll lose by changing our habits. With this mindset, moderation isn’t a constraint on our wishes and pleasures, but rather it’s a source of balance, health, and peace. Of course, change takes time and effort, and it’s important that we face our excesses with patience and compassion; especially if we slip up. So, the next time you have the urge to binge watch or shop or feast keep in mind the philosophy of sophrosyne and start by asking is this a need or want?” – Tamara Levitt

Akashic Eye Tarot - Seven of CupsThe @GlitterbyInk #NovemberWhispers25 Liminal Dreamland Challenge
Truth-Teller Prompt for November 8 : Threshold
Daily Mental Health Prompt: Seek a positive message to carry with you throughout the day and offer perspective.

Today’s draw is the Seven of Cups, which is traditionally a representation of themes having to do with having a plethora of options to choose from, all of opportunity’s doors being open upon one’s path, and at times being overwhelmed by the sheer number of choices available in the moment.

Choose your path wisely. It can be difficult sometimes to consider which direction to take in life, especially if you have multiple options to choose from.

When you stand on the threshold of a new opportunity, it’s wise to pause and consider instead of leaping into action right away. That doesn’t mean that you should stay there forever, considering which one you want, but it does mean that you need to consider which of your options is best suited to you and the possible repercussions of your choices.

The message in today’s card combined with the prompt “threshold” is a reminder to think before you act. Each and every decision we make hold consequences and repercussions, and make up the steps we take on our life’s path and the directions on which that path leads us. When presented with a new opportunity, make sure that you are considering these factors when making your decisions.

The Hierophant Oracle Reading with the Terra Oracle

Where do you seek meaning?

The Pig – Your fear of scarcity often drives you to overindulge. You then seek some kind of meaning in those over indulgences, in an effort to create value where otherwise there would be very little.

Who can you learn from?

The Dragonfly – You can learn from anyone and everyone that creates value in your life in some way. It is in their contribution and your gratitude that these lessons reside for you.

What do you believe in?

The Salmon – You believe that every discomfort has a higher purpose in life; that each trial is a lesson, and every failure includes a boon.

Where do you conform?

The Wasp – You believe that your doctors know better than you. This includes both those that treat you physically, as well as mentally. Although you may ask questions (mostly in order to further your own education rather than to disagree or argue), you are usually willing to trust and follow their advice and suggestions when provided.

What traditions do you follow?

The Chameleon – There are no traditions out there that you follow to the letter. You believe in adaptation in order to keep traditions going, which helps adjust them to new situations and new generations. It’s not about remaking anything or changing it, for at heart it is still the same tradition, just adapting it for better a fit and to keep it alive even as the world changes.

Where do you commit?

The Walrus – You’re committed to protecting both your own and others vulnerabilities. This is the reason that your spiritual practice, and especially your tarot practice, often focuses on empowerment.

Death Prompts for November 7th

Tarot Reading with the Akashic Eye Tarot and Викканский Оракул ТенейLet Go – Virgo, Queen of Swords, Book of Shadows – Your struggles with your memory make it hard for you to let go of the things that are not written down, as you fear forgetting them.

As you just went through a depression through the month of September and first week of October, you have a lot of missing time at your heels that your logical brain wants to pick at and try and bring back to the surface for posterity.

Let go of this idea, and consider seeing this time just past your depressive episode as a time of rebirth and renewal.

Find Support – Candle, Seven of Coins, Toad – Healing takes time and honesty. Honesty with yourself and honesty with those that you choose to let help you on your healing journey. When you hide away your pain, your scars, and your vulnerability, it only delays the healing that you could otherwise experience.

Dig Deeper – Priestess, Five of Swords, Moon Cat – Seek out supportive and empowering messages when you are feeling defeated. It serves no one, and prevents healing when you pick on and berate yourself instead of providing words of hope and support during these times.

Also, consider reaching out to the Minoan goddess Amalthea in these situations, as this is a way in which you could begin to explore your connection to her in more depth.
