@the_mystic_star May Tarot Challenge Prompt
I am using this challenge’s prompts as affirmation prompts for my daily card. Not exactly the intended process for the challenge, but I want to give credit for where I’m getting these affirmation prompts from.

Witchy Magic Tarot - The EmpressAffirmation Prompt for May 3rd: Abundance

The Empress – Take care of yourself. Give yourself the nurturing that you need instead of withholding the love and self kindness that you crave.

Everything feels just a little bit better when you’re taking care of yourself and treating yourself kindly. The rain smells better, the heat is a little less, the flowers a little brighter, your troubles a little lighter.

Use self care to give yourself a sense of abundance that your normal tendency to fear scarcity often causes you to lack in your day to day life.

Witchy Magic Tarot - The Fool, Eight of Wands, Page of WandsWhat in life lights fire to your creative spark?

I took my new fox with the heavy butt that Gid gave me for my birthday with me for the ride today and napped with it in the back of the truck.

Cat Folk Tarot - Seven of WandsAffirmation Prompt for May 2nd: Serene

Seven of Wands – Fighting the good fight does not always mean a physical fight. Sometimes it’s about finding peace and calm in the throes of conflict.

The important thing to remember is that when you find calm within yourself, you don’t then use it to ignore and avoid what’s going on around you.

Instead, use that calm as a tool to hold true to what you value and keep moving along your own path, with your sites on what matters most to you personally.

Don’t use it to ignore, but to take action instead.

@Lionharts #TheMayTarot Moon Magic Prompt
Questions for May 2nd and 3rd

Cat Folk Tarot - Page of Wands, Six of Pentacles, Queen of Wands, The EmperorHow can I approach current transitions in my life?

Page of Wands and Six of Pentacles – Approach these transitions with an open mind towards exploring new passions, and a sense of generosity that allows you to make mistakes along the way without punishing yourself for them. Nobody is perfect at something new right out of the gate, and you shouldn’t be expecting yourself to be either.

How can I tap into my intuition and inner guidance to navigate this phase of transition/transformation?

Queen of Wands and The Emperor – Make sure that you are seizing on opportunities to nurture your passions and share them with others along the way. It is important that you connect these passions to others instead of just to yourself, and include them in your process, while taking the opportunity to teach them with each step forward.

Take Away – You are learning a new skill related to your creative work this month. Instead of learning on your own and teaching others later on how to do it so that they can help you, teach them as you learn. Some of their input will help you keep you from feeling discouraged, and and help find solutions to the learning process more quickly. You’re still the one in charge, but you’re taking them with you on the journey instead of making them wait.

Today’s meditation was short, and done during the procedure at the doctor’s office to remove the cyst on my shoulder then stitch me up.

Affirmation Prompt for May 1st: Beauty

Animal Botanical Tarot - Ten of PentaclesTen of Pentacles – “Success brings confidence, and confidence brings success.” Look at all that you have accomplished in life and how you share it with others. It is a beautiful sight, and one that those around you recognize and appreciate as well.

Pride is a form of self-appreciation, especially when not over-inflated but instead examined through the lens of true accomplishment.

Take a moment to appreciate the glow. Bask in its beauty.  It’s okay to take pride in what you’ve done and allow it to bolster you.

Judgement and The World – This month’s moon can help in allowing you to see more clearly not just what you have accomplished, but also where you want to go from here.

What path or opportunity could open up for me by embracing the guiding energy of the Moon?

Ten of Cups and Temperance – The gift of moderation on emotional matters can be yours if you are willing to embrace the Moon’s guidance this month, allowing for a happier overall outlook as a result.

I went in and had a cyst that had become infected removed, advocating for myself that it’s done now by my family doc, instead of being put off so that I could be sent to a specialized clinic.

Beltane 2024

/ Twist the Leaf / Leave a comment

The last evening of April through the first day of May is Beltane, which is also my sister and I’s birthday. Like Halloween is a time when the veil between the land of the living and the realm of the dead is thin, this holiday is the time when the veil between our world and that of the Fae is at is thinnest.  I personally often find myself amped up with extra energy around this time of year, which I most often use to spend more time playing in that thinning veil as much as possible.

May Day Oracle Reading with the Liminality Oracle

Dandelion – How can I use my inner strength to help me in healing old wounds?

Alliance – Connect with those you truest to help get you through the healing process, and find an accord with those you don’t trust in order to facilitate peace.

Bees – Where could I put in more effort to help my community?

Balance – More effort is not what you need right now. Putting in more anything is not what you need. Moderation is what you need, or you will wear yourself too thin. Practice temperance, and allow your social burdens to balance themselves out.

Garnet – What do I need in order to foster a greater sense of self empowerment?

Inspiration – That creative spark within you has always been the path to self empowerment for you. When you connect with it, it creates for you a sense of enthusiasm and confidence.

Swallow – Where do I need to more openly display my love and loyalty to others?

Center – To yourself. Love and loyalty to yourself is something that others look for. It speaks of a knowing of yourself that’s deeper than logic and the mind. It lets them see the depths of you without as much vulnerability on display.

Malachite – How can I better use intention to bolster the abundance in my life moving forward?

Journey atop Deception – Distance yourself from those that deceive. This is a part of their nature and will not, in fact cannot, change. Pull away and move on from allowing them to hold sway with you.

Goat – How can I best overcome obstacles before me at this time?

Defend – Don’t stop fighting. Giving up is not an option, or at least not a healthy and safe one. Keep fighting for what is important to you.

Primrose – How can I add more of the exuberance of young love into my life?

Guidance atop Rhythm – Seek guidance in finding your own rhythm. It isn’t through following others that you find your own joy and exuberance, but in breaking out of the mold and finding guidance in those sources you have always connected most strongly with.

Tarot of the Absurd's Ace of Wands and It’s Going To Be Okay 2024 Day-to-day Calendar By Kate AllanToday’s draw is the Ace of Sticks (Wands) combined with the affirmation “You are enough as you are today.”

The illustration in this Ace of Wands speaks of the passion in caring for oneself, of cradling that inner light within you and making sure that you are being cared for and loved.

With the affirmation, it is a reminder that sometimes the spark of one’s passions isn’t projected outward, but inward. Sometimes, there is a need to love yourself most, and let everything else take a back burner as you turn your focus inward.

When you do that? You become your passion, and you kindle that passion within you that can then be fostered and grow into something greater.

Dark Fae Tarot's Beltane Oracle Reading with the Seasons of the Witch Beltane Oracle

The buds which are flowering in my garden.

Boundaries – You are in the process of reestablishing boundaries that have become soft over time, seeking out where the lines now need to be drawn and getting them fitted into place.

Celebrating and embracing the joy of friends & family.

Honey – Take care not to be pulled into troubles you need to be no part of. The sweetness of these relationships in your life can sour quickly to something painful and bitter if you do.

Taking in the fresh dew of Spring mornings.

Chant – It is when you connect most strongly to who you are that others are drawn to you most strongly.

Everything that I am releasing as the days grow longer.

Goddess – Let go of self doubts and connect with that depth of self within you. Your inner self, that part of you that is very uniquely you.  The restraints against it need releasing so that it can shine more brightly.

Kindness Is Not Earned

Today’s meditation was skipped.

Celtic Dragon Tarot's Five of Cups and It’s Going To Be Okay 2024 Day-to-day Calendar By Kate AllanToday’s draw is the Five of Cups combined with the affirmation “You deserve kindness today.”

These cards are a reminder that even when things look dark and hopeless, you deserve kindness. Not just from others, either, but given to yourself by yourself as well.

Kindness is not dependent upon performance or perfection. It’s not dependent on success or failure.  It’s something that you should be giving yourself whether times are good or bad, whether your inner narrative is negative or not.

#DiscordTarotholicsApr2024 Challenge Prompt
Question for April 29th: Int’l Dance Day – As April comes to an end, what in your life is due for a bit of celebration?

Celtic Dragon Tarot - The Moon, Five of Wands, King of WandsReading Summary: Uncertainty and feelings of vulnerability (The Moon) are a natural part of conflict (Five of Wands). That doesn’t mean standing down, but continuing on a path based on your inspiration and sharing that path for all to follow that choose to (King of Wands).

Take Away: Sometimes conflict happens. You’re not adverse to it, but you struggle with the emotional side of it, as you aren’t particularly skilled with emotions as a whole.

Don’t let that struggle dampen your passion or your stance.  Your uncertainty isn’t something to try and avoid or alleviate. It’s just a part of the learning process… growing pains on an emotional scale instead of a physical one.
