Dionysian Mysteries Tarot Reading with The Sacred Forest Oracle

Creative Expression – How can you channel your creative energy to express yourself?

Starry Night – Accept that things are how they are right now. You may not have as much creative time as you would like, but don’t abandon hope.

Letting Go and Celebrating – Which achievements or milestones deserve to be celebrated and which ones can you let go of now??

Ancient Oak Spirit – Celebrate the growth of your strengths. At this time you are in a whole new growth pattern and this experience you’re going through will help you become a stronger person overall and stronger in your abilities as well.

Maple Spirit atop Moonlight Enchantment – Release the idea that you need to lend your magical energies to others right now. Yes, you can help… but you need to consider if you should. Right now, you need to focus on yourself and conserving your energy.

The Fertility – What new ideas or projects want to grow in you??

Bluebird Spirit atop Spirit Guardian of Winter – You have a need for alone time and your inspiration will refuse to spark properly until you get the rest and alone time that you need. In other words… don’t push right now.

Questions for September 9th thru 12th – One With Nature

Dionysian Mysteries Challenge Lenormand Reading with the Emblemata Lenormand

Rapture – How can you open yourself to new experiences and insights?

Garden and Ring – Commit to opening yourself up to social interactions and spending time with others. Although what you feel like doing is retreating into alone time, you know that it’s only through interacting with others you can get the external influences you need.

Connection with Nature – How can you ground yourself and establish a deeper connection with nature?

Mountain and Fox – Be clever in dealing with the obstacles in your way so that they don’t overcome you and your efforts.  You may not be able to get into the woods and among the trees right now, but you can walk barefoot in the grass.

The Dionysian Feast – How can you bring more joy and playfulness into your life?

Cross and Lily – Take care not to see your time with your elders as a burden.  Have fun with it.  Yes, there’s a lot of responsibility involved, but there’s also a lot of joking and amusement.  Don’t lose sight of the fun that can be had by sinking too deep into the mentality of burden and obligation.

Liberation from Limitations – What fears or doubts are holding you back from being fully yourself?

Woman and Scythe – You fear that your softer and more open side will become a liability that gets you hurt or be seen as unappealing and leave you cut off and alone.

❤️ Self Care Saturday (On a Sunday)

/ Twist the Leaf / Leave a comment

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 the Atomic Age Tarot and Divine Nature Oracle

Earth – Page of Wands – Start small, but start all the same. Do the things your body needs and start doing them now. Make it something you’re invested in instead of a chore. For you, taking care of yourself is something you have to re-learn again and again each time you fall out of habit.

Air – Ace of Wands Rx – Don’t go starting any new projects this week. You have enough to do and don’t need the stress of putting more on your plate. Instead of working on new things, put your focus into cleaning up those things you have already started.

Water – The High Priestess – There is a lot of emotions going on in you right now that are beyond your ability to dig into and understand. Accept this, and instead of digging, let those secrets currents within you sit for now. Let them be a mystery for later.

Fire – The Magician – You have the tools to do what you need and accomplish what you put your mind to. Use them instead of making things harder for yourself than they have to be.

Waning – Own Your Power – You are not alone and you are stronger with the support of others. Instead of falling into the habit of doing everything yourself, make sure that you are welcoming in help from others.

Waxing – Stand for Justice – Lean into your need for fairness and balance this week.

Questions for September 5th thru 8th – The Dance of Life

Dionysian Mysteries Tarot Reading with the Golden Journey Tarot and Nature Lover's Oracle

The Sacrifice – What old habits or thought patterns do you need to sacrifice to promote spiritual growth?

Ten of Cups and Merganser Duck – Remember that happily ever after is not a destination, but instead it is found in small moments along the way. If you are always waiting to find happiness and achieve happiness as some distant ambition or goal, you are missing out on it because you are blinding yourself to its presence in the now and along your current journey.

The Mystery – What do you most desire in your life and how can you achieve it?

Two of Cups and Shooting Star – A harmonious connection with where we are both on the same page and feel secure in the knowledge that it’s working for both involved. This type of connection with others can only be achieved through acceptance of others flaws as well as your own. Perfection is only achieved when there are flaws.

The Masks – What parts of yourself do you hide from others?

The Hierophant Rx and Pearl – You work hard to hide from others the novice parts of yourself that are untried and vulnerable, keeping them carefully tucked away and protected from harm.

How can you harness your true self?

Nine of Cups and Air – By remembering that when you are feeling lax and chill in your sense of self satisfaction, it’s time to start moving again instead of becoming stagnant. Sinking into that feeling of satisfaction to the point you linger and wallow pulls you away from the spark of energy that helps you in staying in touch with and expressing your true self.

The Daze – Where do you find comfort and inspiration in times of chaos and confusion?

The Fool Rx and Amber – When times of chaos and confusion reign, you find comfort and inspiration in sinking into the things you know and revisiting the things you have done before. Being on unfamiliar ground just makes you feel more vulnerable during these times.

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.

Self Care Saturday Tarot Reading with the Tarot of the Everlasting Day and Coffee Cup Oracle

Earth – Three of Cups – Try to find some time to have some fun with others this week. Lean into laughter and making everyone feel included. It will help build a more cohesive unit, and a greater sense of stability if you do.

Air – Seven of Swords atop Ten of Wands – Remember that if you don’t deal with and mitigate feelings of overwhelm, they will sneak their way into the territory of burnout and end up stealing away your energy and confidence.

Water – The Devil – Stay mindful that your emotions can drive you to unhealthy behaviors. Make sure that you are dealing with your emotions instead of letting them fester so that you can avoid going down that road.

Fire – Ace of Wands – It’s okay to let yourself get excited and enthusiastic about something. Work on incorporating a bit of passion into your days instead of trying to smother that aspect of yourself.

Waning – Eye and Heart – Be grateful for what you have instead of feeling envious that you don’t have more. You are getting time with him that you weren’t before. Is it as much as either of you want? No. But feeling envious about that solves nothing and brings a negativity into the equation that doesn’t need to be there.

Waxing – Dove and Snake – It might not seem like it, but this week would be an excellent time to drown.
