Weekly Creativity Prompt – The Moon

/ Twist the Leaf / Leave a comment

Prompt: “Pull the Moon card from your deck(s). Compare the imagery between the card provided below and the card(s) from your own deck(s). How would you read them differently and why?“

The Moon in the Modern Love TarotModern Love Tarot – Eyes closed and hands over heart, the figure in this card is focused on within as the moon shines bright and the wolf howls. In nature, hearing the sound of a wolf’s how can cause fissures of fear and anxiety… or in some it creates a stirring of the wild energy within. There is no such thing as adventure without the niggling of fear to make things exciting. Where are you playing things too safe?  Where can you step outside your comfort zone?

The Moon Card in the Tarot of the Spirit, Silver Acorn Tarot, and Umbral Embers Tarot

Tarot of the Spirit – The man in the moon listens with eyes closed as wolves serenade the night.  There’s no domesticity in this card and no contrast for the wild hunt depicted here.  What fears are you letting run rampant in your life right now?  Where are they calling all the shots?

Silver Acorn Tarot – The Owl and the Hare are having a grand party by moonlight while the tortoise looks on from the water. Like the traditional Moon card, this card depicts two halves of a coin.  The wild side that dances in the moonlight and the staid and domesticated side that watches on from a place of stability.  This card encourages us to look at which direction we are more likely to lean and examine why that is.

Umbral Embers Tarot – Right, so… I have trypophobia, which means that tie imagery in this particular card causes me a bit of discomfort. It’s right there on the cusp of being shudder-worthy for me, but not yet there. My reaction and discomfort fit the Moon card, and bring to the forefront that aspect of the card’s meaning.   Drawing out the trepidation and sense of unknown that can cause us to feel uncertain and fearful.

October 22

Today’s meditation was ten minutes long, and was focused on the message in today’s cards, which is…

Four of Swords (Aosagibi) – Listen to your body and what your body needs.  If you feel old and tired, it’s okay to rest. The old blue heron lingers, passing from life to afterlife, but bothers no one. So too can you bother no one. Don’t get worked up. Don’t worry or stress.  Don’t allow negative emotions or the push and shove of ambition to hurt your healing progress. Listen to your body, and rest when you need it.

Today’s meditation was ten minutes long, and was focused on the message in today’s cards, which is…

Queen of Cups – Instead of beating yourself up for being ill and needing rest, give yourself the love and encouragement that you need. Do the things that help nurture you back to help including eating when you need to eat, doing your breathing exercises to keep your lungs healthy, and making sure you do the little self-care things that help such as the salt water rinses, Nyquil before bed, etc. Be kind to yourself.

Instead, ask for help when you need it and just enjoy the fact that there’s someone there for you during the times you’re awake. You are no longer contagious, so lean into the help being offered.

Diablo Tarot, Romantically Yours Tarot, The Hand Drawn Tarot, and Halloween Affirmation Cards

October 19

Today’s meditation was ten minutes long, and was focused on the message in today’s cards, which is…

The Hermit – Abundance isn’t always about money.  Sometimes? It’s about giving yourself what you need most and having the ability to do just that.  What you need most right now is some alone time. Burrow under the covers and let the Covid run its course, there’s no where you need to go today and no one you need to see, and your greatest show of prosperity is that you can, in fact, take this time for yourself.

October 20

Today’s meditation was ten minutes long, and was focused on the message in today’s cards, which is…

Four of Swords – The Four of Swords card is all about rest and recovery. Down time, and recuperation. Everything pulled here from the affirmation card to the meditative blurb from my meditation timer is all about rest. They say… you might be starting to feel a bit better, but you need to rest today. Rest and let yourself recover a bit more. What you want to do today can be put off til tomorrow or the next, and now is the time to procrastinate.

Today’s meditation was ten minutes long, and was focused on the message in today’s cards, which is…

Eight of Swords – Don’t ignore the warning signs of depression or its symptoms. Doing so will only end up biting you on the ass. Willful ignorance won’t save you, it’ll just let you play at being oblivious for a little while before things smack you in the face. Instead of trying to pretend everything’s fine, acknowledge what you’re feeling, and the signs and symptoms that arise, so that you can begin to counter act them in an effort to mitigate the worst of it… which will definitely come if you do nothing.

Questions for October 20th and 21st

Tarotholics Challenge Reading with the Tarot of the Vampires and Dark Magick Oracle

Spellwork: What needs manifested in your life right now?

Five of Wands Rx and Empower – Allow others their voice. You don’t have to agree, but be open to hearing them out. You are too wrapped up in your own perspectives right now, and it is shutting down others as a result. When you empower others to speak, you empower yourself.

Poltergeist: What needs to be banished from your life?

Five of Pentacles and Bats – The more you listen to those negative inner narratives, the further down the rabbit hole you will go with your mental health issues. This is especially true when it comes to themes that have to do with scarcity, for you are never as bad off as your mind wants you to believe that you are.
