Today’s meditation was (yet again) skipped.

Today’s draw is the JAPJI 33^ᴇ PAURI card combined with the affirmation “I am the master of my dreams and my reality.”

It is too much work hiding your true self behind masks in order for others to find you more “acceptable”.  The message in today’s cards is encouragement to let your true self free and allow the world to shift to fit you instead of the other way around.

When you stop trying to conform to what others expect of you, you shed those that don’t “fit” the true you and find others that truly do.  The world around you adjusts, and you are no needing to expend so much energy on appearing to be what others want you to be, but instead find acceptance within your heart for who you really are.  This acceptance carves a you-sized niche in the world that is all yours and a perfect fit… as opposed to the ill fitting ones those masks are providing.

#DiscordTarotholicsSep2024 Challenge
Prompt for September 22nd : Do Spread 3

What gifts from Summer are ready to be harvested?

Kitchen Witchery – Make good food and share it with those you love. Nurture not just them, but also yourself. There is healing in the act of tending to one’s needs and in sharing that care with those you love.

Where is your attention most needed between now and the upcoming last harvest of the year?

Darkness Falls – Make sure you are not flirting with your depression. If it’s creeping in, you need to acknowledge it rather than try to ignore it. Keep an eye on your mood and emotions, and make sure that you are doing what you can to counterbalance.

What seeds need to be planted now to be ready in the Spring?

Campfire – Work on opening up to others more. Appreciating camaraderie and sharing with others will allow for a closer bond between you and those you care about in the year to come.

Take Away:  On the whole, there is a great deal of encouragement here to connect with and bond with others over the next handful of weeks.  Make sure you are not just communicating with others, but sharing good food and quality time with them as well, and enlist your help on darker days when the depression starts to encroach.

I wasn’t really planning on napping today, but I let myself have one and I definitely feel better for it.
