Perspectives on Fear

/ Twist the Leaf / 1 Comment

Today’s meditation was ten minutes long, and was one of the #DailyTrip sessions in the Calm app.

The topic of today’s session was about how we can find comfort and connection in our practice by being mindful during meditation of all the others in the world who might be meditating in that same moment with us. How, even in this very personal thing, that we are not alone but sharing the experience with others through energy and intent.

The Binding of Isaac Tarot's Four of Swords and Halloween Affirmation Cards@GlitterbyInk #OctoberCauldron24 Prompt
Cauldron of Warming Prompt for October 4th : Vision

Today’s draw is the Four of Bombs (Swords) combined with the affirmation “I have the power to turn any fear into laughter.”

When you are taking moments of rest and using them to consider what has come before and what comes next, make sure that you are not letting your fears and worries hem you in and stifle your potential.

Look at these fears and instead of minimizing yourself, minimize those things that you are afraid of.  See them as small and ineffectual, look at them in a different light and find the humor that lies in being scared of these things.  In doing so, you can let them go and move forward more confidently.

Question for October 4th : Ever mind the rule of three, what I send forth {pick a card to represent what you want to focus on in this moment} comes back to me {draw three cards}.

Cute and Creepy OracleWhat I Send Forth – Work – Focusing on your responsibilities is often your modus operandi. Whether during holiday rush or not, work and your responsibilities take priority and thus ground you even during the busiest or most stressful of times.

Comes Back to Me – Weed Out, Hope, Explosive – The person in your life trying to get under your skin is frustrated by your ability to prioritize work and responsibility over trivial things like emotions or ego. This makes it difficult and frustrating for them to create the affect on you they seek, and thus illicit the response they want from you.

This means that by focusing on work and responsibilities, they have no choice but to either put their true colors on display or back off. In either case, the chaos will be temporary and calm with prevail.

Philosophical Question for October 4th : Can anyone on the other side make contact when the veil is thin?

The Binding of Isaac Tarot - Two of Swords, Five of Cups, Five of WandsReading Summary: There are a lot of influencing factors that play a part in whether or not someone can come through or not from the other side. Things like despair or conflict can get in the way (Five of Hearts and Five of Pennies), no matter how determined they are to give it a go (Two of Bombs).

Take Away: So, the answer here is no.  Not everyone can be contacted through the veil, even when it is at its thinnest.  Different obstacles such as emotions or conflict can create barriers that can then block that individual from coming through.  These obstacles aren’t just benign blockages, but are able to thwart even the most determined individuals.

Prompt for October 4th : What’s falling away this autumn?

Earth & Bone OracleThe Pack – Your opportunities to work on yourself and delve into the inner workings of your psyche and heart are coming to an end for the year.  You’ve had the entirety of the year to explore, but now these opportunities are drawing to a close for now.

Burrow – You’ve spent a lot of time this year working on getting rest when you can and allowing yourself some time just enjoying instead of constantly pushing yourself.  Your chance to do this is falling away now that the holiday rush approaches, and exhaustion is soon to follow.

Trinity – Juggling multiple priorities and responsibilities is about to become more challenging, the ease of keeping many things in the air at once quickly ending for the year.  As your business picks up, more and more of those priorities outside of your business will need to take a step back until the new year rolls around.

Take Away – All of this is a natural part of the end of the year for you. With the holiday rush approaching, there are a lot of positive and healthy influences and activities that have to be put on the back burner to allow the holiday rush to go off as smoothly as possible. Then, come January, they will resurface to be reestablished in your life once more.

Rosco BondageI taped Rosco over the fire alarm siren on the wall of my condo.  Today was fire alarm checks day. A service comes in and tests the fire systems in the building including the sprinklers throughout the building and the alarms in each unit.

When they test each unit’s alarm, the full-building alarm goes off, which is ear splitting and shrill and comes from a siren installed behind where Rosco is taped.  Taping Rosco over it doesn’t silence the sound, but deafens it enough that it’s not so ear piercing and anxiety inducing.

Proof that sometimes?  A little bondage is just what you need in life.  😂

@GlitterbyInk #OctoberCauldron24 Prompt
Cauldron of Warming Prompt for October 3rd : Cleanse

Tarocchi Gialli's Nine of Swords and Halloween Affirmation CardsToday’s draw is the Nine of Knives (Swords) combined with the affirmation “I cast a web of abundance, predicting prosperity.”

One of the biggest challenges of my depression and working to keep it at bay is my inner voice and the dialogue that it whispers incessantly in my mind.  It speaks of my worries and fears, tearing at my confidence and belittling my accomplishments. It is as cruel… perhaps even -more- cruel than even my worst critics (and I’ve had some real doozies). More damaging too, because it’s constant and insidious.

The message in today’s cards are to cleans away your fears and uncertainties created by that whispering inner voice with intentional optimism and positivity.

That inner voice? It says that’s stupid.  Lame.  Ridiculous and delusional.  And in one way? That voice is right.  Positivity and optimism doesn’t make the bad things in life go away.   What I’ve learned, though, is that what it -does- do is help alter how I process and deal with these negative things. It helps them feel lighter and more manageable.  The message in today’s cards is a reminder that these tools are here, but they only work when you work with them.

Question for October 3rd : Poltergeist : What from within your life needs to be banished?

Tarocchi Gialli - Seven of Cups, Six of Swords, The MoonReading Summary: There are too many choices (Six of Cups) on how to move forward (Seven of Wands) into a future of uncertain territory (The Moon).

Take Away: There is currently a discussion / debate going on in one of the servers you’re on in how to moderate a topic that has previously been banned. Your insides feel like an echo of those rings in the La Luna card.

These cards are telling you to step back from the confusion and uncertainty by recusing yourself. There are too many different factors involved in the moderating of the topic, which leads you into a place of instability.

Choose stability in your life and your comfort levels instead of the discomfort of uncertainty by removing your participation from the table.

Take Away: You are well rounded with a wide array of knowledge and experiences.  You have a keen intuition and are good at not just hearing it but trusting it.  These two qualities combined are valuable resources in creating the stability in your life that you and others depend.

I followed the advice of the cards and recused myself from the situation mentioned in the DiscordTarotholicsOct2024 reading for today.

Consequences of Overwhelm

/ Twist the Leaf / 1 Comment

Today’s meditation was ten minutes long, and was one of the #DailyCalm sessions from the Calm app.

The session for today was about noticing and embracing the pause.  It is about, when in meditation, noting that momentary pause between the inhale and the exhale, between the exhale and the inhale. It’s also about knowing that sometimes when stress is high or chaos feels overwhelming, that you can step back and take three full, slow breaths.

Just three.  That’s all it takes to shift your nervous system from alarmed and overloaded to finding a bit more balance and calm.   Three slow, full breaths taken in, noting the pause, exhaled, and noting the pause.

Lilith's Attic Tarot's Justice Card and Halloween Affirmation Cards@GlitterbyInk #OctoberCauldron24 Prompt
Cauldron of Warming Prompt for October 2nd : Organize

Today’s draw is the Justice card combined with the affirmation “Let’s just deal with today. You can deal with tomorrow tomorrow.”

The cards for today asks us to examine what needs done for today, and encourages putting a stop to worrying about the big picture. When you worry about the big picture, it has a tendency to distract you, overwhelm you, or slow you down. Very rarely, when you’re trying to get things done, does worrying about the big picture ever actually help the process.

Instead of worrying about what ALL needs to be done and having to deal with those road blocks mentioned above that doing so puts in your way, just worry about what you need to do today. Tomorrow is another day, and you can worry about when it eventually gets here.

Question for October 2nd : A New Moon rises and turns the wheel, what path does the Moon reveal?

Little Ghost OracleReading Summary: Escapism (Escape) with the one you love (Love) is a blessing worth savoring (Luck). Treat it as the good thing that it is and savor the together time for as long as you can.

Take Away: These cards are a fitting reminder for the new moon this month, as next month around this time the holiday rush will be swinging into gear and you won’t have time for much of anything else.

The encouragement here is to make the best out of every moment you can manage to get. Savor them and enjoy them.  Soon there won’t be time for any, and by January you’ll both be starving for each other’s attention and some time together.

Question for October 2nd : Buried Alive : What in the past needs to be dug up and dealt with?

Lilith's Attic Tarot - Two of Swords, The Star, Six of WandsReading Summary: How sometimes hope (The Star) instead of decisive action (Two of Swords Rx) turns out just perfect in the end (Six of Wands).

Take Away: It’s okay to roll the dice sometimes instead of seizing control and making decisions. Not everything is under your control, so you don’t have to micromanage your life so precisely all the time.

Instead of falling into old habits of micromanagement over every aspect of your life, allow yourself to cut loose a little bit and step back instead. Sometimes shit doesn’t have to be your decision, and just because you aren’t the deciding factor doesn’t mean things won’t turn out just fine.

Prompt for October 2nd : What to conjure this new moon?

Deadly Apothecary OracleOpium Poppy – Allow others to see your true self.  When you are passionate about something, you inspire others to be passionate as well. Don’t hide that spark behind a wall of protection.  It’s not a vulnerability, but a strength that empowers not just you, but others as well.

Mandrake – Share your passions. The things that you are passionate about are not only interesting to you. Your enthusiasm is contagious. Dive into those interests and the creativity that is so very much a part of what grounds you. Invite others to follow you down the rabbit hole.

Hemlock Water-Dropwort – Follow your gut. You know what’s right for you. If it doesn’t feel right, don’t try to make it. You know better.  Instead, listen to your gut and follow what it says. Let it lead. It’s always right, whether you want it to be or not.

As encouraged in the DiscordTarotholicsOct2024 challenge reading for today, I deferred to someone else during a moment of conflict instead of taking the responsibility upon my own shoulders to make the final decision.  I know that as admin, it’s my “job” to guide the moderators and make decisions for the site, but… I really don’t think I can be objective on this one. Not so much concerning the topic, but concerning weighing my own opinion against the opinions of others without bias even after hearing and fully understanding their arguments.

🌑 New Moon and Solar Eclipse in Libra – October 2024

/ Twist the Leaf / 1 Comment

Today is the new moon, and like all new moons and full moons, I did a spread aligned to the moon’s current themes as a part of my recognition of the moon’s cycle and influences upon us. Today’s spread is courtesy of @moonandcactus.

New Moon Solar Eclipse in Libra Oracle Reading with The Haunted Manor Oracle

How can I surrender to what comes and let go of resistance to change, trusting the process?

Lineage – Acknowledge and then release your unreasonable self-imposed expectations, as well as the assumption of others expectations. Don’t allow them to hold so much sway over your actions and thoughts on what you “should” be doing with your time and energy. You need to accept that these expectations are an illusion created by your past and not reality.

How can I learn to make peace with those around me?

Winter – Stillness is an important part of growth as well as healthy communication with others. When you pause, not only do you give yourself a bit of a rest, but you  give yourself a moment of thought and reflection. People that want you to react in their favor may not like that moment in the cold outside of your attention as you look within, but that makes it that much more important that you do it.

How can I establish a sense of order and create harmony in my environment?

Hide and Seek – Stop ignoring your needs and hiding from the activities that will help fulfill them. This is especially important in keeping your home organized. Either get the housekeeper in more often or start doing more of the work yourself.

(Obviously, the housekeeper is the healthier answer here, as so many of my personal readings are reminders to involve others in getting things done instead of taking it all on my own shoulders.)

If possible, how can I avoid making major decisions until the energy stabilizes, and instead focus on planning and reflecting?

Graveyard – Don’t fret so much about the inconsequential things that aren’t being done. Work instead on the long standing unpleasant ones that need doing whether you like them or not. (Taxes… hello.)

The eclipse will tip the scales toward our relationships. Encouraging us to reassess our interactions with others. How can I trust that whatever surfaces is helping to restore balance?

Black Mirror – You have a habit of ignoring what is unpleasant or gives rise to your feelings of vulnerability, which only gives these things more power over you. Face them instead and their power will lessen, their contributions to your life shining through instead.

New Moon advice from the Minoan Goddess Amalthea.

Sword – Stay alert and on the look out for those that are trying to manipulate you into going against your good sense, intuition, or inner compass.

Cauldron of Warming Prompt for October 1st : Prioritize

Today’s draw is the Nine of Cups combined with the affirmation “Like a ghost, I transcend limitations.”

The cards in today’s reading are a reminder that while you are working to prioritize the things that you enjoy and that make you feel sated and happy, make sure you are not letting inconsequential shit get in your way.

I say “while” because this is something you need to make sure that you are prioritizing instead of procrastinating on. A part of self-care is in fulfilling one’s needs, including your needs for pleasure and enjoyment.

Question for October 1st : The witch’s season calls my name, what sparks ignite my sacred flame?

The Arcanaless II - The Black Hole, Heresiarch, The ChururgeonThe Black Hole – Curiosity. That sacred spark within you is often about creativity, and that begins with an innately curious mind. When your curiosity is drawn to the surface, that spark of creativity soon follows, rather it’s in wanting to try your hand in something new or wandering off mentally into a thought exercise or rabbit hole of research.

The Chirurgeon – Intelligence and Skill. Often, when that spark of curiosity is drawn to the surface, it’s because your interested and your mind says “I can do that”. This is how you discover new skills and abilities, and how you develop new hobbies and techniques.  Whether the thought is “I can do that” or “there has to be a better way”, your curiosity and intelligence engage and skill development becomes a part of the process.

Heresiarch – Personalized Spirituality. Here, too, creativity plays a role. You have been on your Pagan path a long time, and you have been customizing and tailoring that path to what you feel is right and what you believe with each step along the way.  In your gut, you know when something is right for you and fits, and when you see a new idea or concept you’re interested in, you’re not shy about researching it to see if it’s for you.

Take Away: The answer to what (singular) spark ignites my sacred flame is creativity. It is the common denominator between all three of the cards pulled above and answers that they provided.

Take Away: There has been a great many warnings lately about staying vigilant concerning those who may betray your trust or try to manipulate you into acting outside your nature. Here again is the warning concerning betrayal by someone who has been inspired and encouraged by you.

The lure of togetherness and good times is a strong one. These cards indicate that it will also be the guise in which the betrayal will arrive, or possibly the bait used to lure you in.  Pay attention so that you don’t fall into the trap.

Month End Tarot Reading with the Ostara Tarot

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

King of Swords – You are a good leader, cunning and clever, but you are holding yourself too far apart from others in an effort to protect yourself from getting hurt. Allowing yourself vulnerability won’t wrest your power from your grip, but will instead only make you stronger.

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

Page of Cups – This specific card has a tendency to come up for this question around this time of year. It is a reminder that with the holiday rush right around the corner, your time to explore emotions and work on your emotional intelligence is coming to an end for the year. Time flies, and soon it will be nose-to-the-grindstone with the holiday rush.

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

Ten of Wands – This card indicates that “ideal states” are like perfection, they don’t really exist and are overrated. You -want- to take on everything, put it all on your shoulders, and deal with it with alacrity and grace. This card is a reminder that that vision in your head is a lie.

Limitations – Negative influences, opposition, or ill will.

The Tower – Chaos is not your friend right now. Work on staying organized, and when things don’t go exactly as planned, relax into the fall instead of tensing up.

(Note: “Relaxing into the fall” is a term used in tight rope walking and areal gymnastics to encourage going boneless when falling in order to minimize injury. Much in the way drunks often have serious mishaps without injury.)

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

The Magician – You are independent, strong willed, and well rounded. You have all that you need to not just “make it through” but to accomplish whatever you set your mind to. Make sure that you are tapping into these qualities when they are needed.  You are far from helpless.

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

Page of Swords – Sometimes, like a kid running with scissors and someone gets hurt, people say things without thinking and carve a piece out of you in the process. Just like that kid with the scissors, it’s not intentional and not meant to be malicious. Make sure that you are looking beyond the injury to see the motivations of others clearly. Remember… accidents happen.

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

Knight of Pentacles – Sometimes the hard work isn’t worth it… but not often. When you continue to stubbornly push forward even when conditions are horrible, the rewards are nearly always worth the effort put in and then some. And, in the glow of accomplishment afterward, it’s easy to forget just how horrible the journey was now that it’s behind you.

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

Three of Wands – Watch out for the feeling of moving forward when you’re really just circling the drain hole. Keep your eves open for opportunities for real progress instead of just the illusion of it.

Empowerment – A future opportunity to work toward.

King of Cups – Look to Gideon for support when you need it. He can help you in finding emotional stability if you let him guide you and follow his lead.

Message from the Spirit World – We take pride in your efforts to learn more about and understand your emotions instead of continuing your ignore them. It may feel sometimes like your running in circles, but you are in fact developing lifelong skills that will help you with future goals.

Message from the Mind’s World – Make sure that you don’t let your inner dialogue’s sharp tongue push you into taking on so much that you buckle under the weight. Loved ones are there to help. Use your freshly learned interpersonal skills to diversify the load.

Message from the Physical World – You’ll make things far harder on yourself than they need to be by not taking care to acknowledge where you are still learning and in need of help or guidance. Lean into those that can give you guidance when you need it instead of stubbornly insisting on going it alone.

Take Away – You are not abandoning your emotional intelligence journey by focusing on the holiday rush that approaches. That journey will still be there for you when you return to it after the rush is over.

Make sure you are delegating your work load instead of taking it all on yourself.
