The #lucetseptembertarotchallenge Dionysian Mysteries Challenge
Questions for September 1st thru 4th – The Dance of Life

Dionysian Mysteries Challenge with The Early Riser's Lenormand

The Essence of Dionysus – Draw a card that gives you insight into the energy of Dionysus and how to welcome it into your life.

Stag and Bat (Man and Fox) – Dionysus connects with that part of you that is unpredictable and keeps people’s guessing. It is the joy in those moments that allows you to welcome this quality into your life, for it speaks of a bit of harmless mischievous fun.

The Vineyard – Which aspect of yourself must you let go of to make room for new growth?

Light (Cross) and Soul Family – Let go of the feeling that those you choose as family are a burden to you. See them in a better light than that. Yes, right now, you’re dealing with a lot of responsibility and it’s put a lot of weight on you, but work to make sure you don’t tilt into thoughts of them as a burden.

The Dance – How can you free yourself and express your inner passions?

Moon and Ship – Explore your emotions and allow them the freedom to be expressed openly. Instead of burying them or hiding them,  you need to delve in and take a closer look at them.  As they become more familiar, they will become easier and easier to express confidently in healthy ways.

Ecstasy – What makes your heart beat faster and your soul light up?

Birds and Jewels – Your time spent in play on the rp server, allowing you time to be with those important to you while feeling as if you are shining bright for all to see. Even when you aren’t playing but just chatting now and then with Gid and the friends that are there, it allows you a moment now and then to shine brighter from within… although that “heart beat faster” part is all for him and how special and important he makes you feel.

September 1

Ace of Hips (Cups) – You matter… and so do your emotions and how you feel about things.  Don’t let your feelings stay buried, as they can cause some unpleasant physical repercussions when you do. Specifically?  It can cause your IBS to act up.   Instead, speak up and share your emotions with those that need to hear what you are feeling… and with those that you trust to help you process them.

The Hermit – Today’s card is a reminder that it’s okay to need that alone time, and the cuddle time with Miss Luna when you are able to get a bit of it.  Don’t feel guilty about it, thinking you are taking away from other responsibilities in order to be “selfish”.  It’s needed for your mental health, and for hers too.  You’re allowed to need that, and to take it when you can.

King of Swords – “You are going to get through this just fine”, it’s just going to take a bit of leadership and strategy to get there.  Take the initiative and activate that clever mind of yours to show others how it’s done and inspire them to follow your lead. Creative thinking on safety measures and physio exercises is a must right now to help Ms B re-discover her independence and confront her fears.

Cosmic Coven Tarot - The High PriestessAugust 31

The High Priestess – You learn through experience, and so does your intuition. Living here with Ms B has been difficult and there’s been a lot of physical and emotional struggle, but there is also intuitive growth happening during this time. Being in a home with active spirits of the dead (as opposed to the Fae that occupy your own home) is giving you a chance to stretch your wings in your mediumship abilities. In this way, remember that you are gaining from this experience with Ms B as well as learning, experiencing, and growing stronger. Not just physically or emotionally, but intuitively as well.

Five of Wands – You know, I never thought of Sailor Moon cartoon characters as butting heads, and yet here the wands are on the five of wands. Today’s card is a reminder that even when you butt heads with others, it’s still possible to get things done and make great things happen. Conflict is uncomfortable, but sometimes it’s a necessary part of the process. Don’t shy away from it… work through it instead and everything will sort itself out in the end.

August 29

Six of Swords – Instead of trying to quash your anxieties and worries, berating them or shoving them under the rug… try talking about them instead. When you discuss them with others, it helps expunge them from your head, effectively giving them an outlet to be let go of instead of forcing yourself to hold onto them while trying to ignore them.

August 30

Six of Swords – When this is all over, make sure that you remember to give yourself time to rest and recover instead of just jumping back in full speed into everything else.  Slough off this time and take a moment or three to feel the difference that removing that weight feels like.  Take a breath and give yourself time to recuperate.  You need it, whether you will be wanting to give it to yourself or not.

Good Omens Tarot Reading

Good Omens Oracle Reading with The Empty Cup Oracle and Prosperitea Game Cards

Manifest: What positive energies or opportunities are manifesting in my life right now?

Flying Fish and Assam (Camellia sinensis var. assamica) – You do not have to be grounded all of the time. It’s healthy for you to cut loose and try new things. Step outside the box and follow the occasional urge that you would normally write off as frivolous or out of character.

Embrace: How can I recognize and embrace the good omens around me?

Pinky Promise and Chamomile (Matricaria chamomilla) – Work on becoming more aware of what’s really worth your energy and on easing your grip on everything else. When you are overburdened and distracted, it can be difficult to keep your gaze on the path to the person you want to become. Step back from the stress and burden enough to keep that path forward in your sights.

Note… a big part of that person you want to become included continuing to lean into positivity and optimism in order to counteract your pessimistic tendencies.

Align: What actions can I take to align myself with positive outcomes and blessings?

Diving Helmet and Rooibos (Aspalathus linearis) – Relax, stay calm, and breathe deeply. Use the tools you know work to promote the sense of grounded calm that you need in order to be receptive to good things.

🌕 Full Moon in Pisces – August 2023

On Wednesday is the full 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 brought to you by EmeraldLotusMystic.

Full Moon in Pisces Tarot Reading with the Francois Georgin Épinal Tarot Revived c1860

How is my subconscious affecting my everyday habits?

Eight of Swords – You are ignoring things that would be better acknowledged and dealt with. Avoidance happens, but you need to make sure you aren’t avoiding dealing with the things that are important.

What past life karma am I needing to feel?

Three of Coins – You have always struggled to work with others instead of doing things on your own. A part of this lifetime’s lesson is learning how to collaborate instead of always leaning in to doing things solo.

How can I find balance between my mind, body, and spirit?

Four of Cups – Meditation is key. Get back to it.  You cannot find balance without it.

What do I need to clear out (remove) at this time?

Six of Swords – Get rid of the idea that running away is a solution. Sometimes you have to stick around and resolve things instead. Your current situation is one of those times.

What is something I should say?

Ten of Coins – Tell those around you how grateful you are for them in your life and how wealthy, fortunate, and secure they make you feel. Although you don’t take them for granted, it can feel like it sometimes because you tend not to verbalize how much you value their presence in your life.

How can I connect with divine guidance at this time?

Five of Wands – Be open to opinions and methods that are not your own. Others have ideas too that are just as valid as yours.  Don’t squash their ideas outright, nor “talk over them” with your own.

Full Moon advice from the Minoan Goddess Amalthea.

The Hanged Man – Listening does not mean acting. No action need be taken… just listen and allow others to feel heard.
