Tarot of Dürer - Three of WandsThe @GlitterbyInk #NovemberWhispers25 Liminal Dreamland Challenge
Truth-Teller Prompt for November 9
: Whisper
Daily Mental Health Prompt
: Seek a positive message to carry with you throughout the day and offer perspective.

Today’s draw is the Three of Wands, which is traditionally a representation of the first active step in a journey, progress towards a goal, and the seizing of opportunities.

When you want to accomplish something, you need to step beyond the silence. Action requires boldness. It requires moving beyond watching and waiting, beyond planning into actually stepping up and stepping forward.

When the time to act arrives, it’s no longer time to whisper and go about silently doing all the planning and preparation. Beginnings require more than that. They require stepping out of that safe space and being loud.

The message in today’s card is that you can only plan for so long before there’s nothing left but to step out of your shell and actually start moving. That place of planning and whispers may feel safe, but it can only get you so far before you have to step out of the shadows and take action. Lingering in that safe space beyond that point just creates unhealthy stagnancy.

Do Spread 2 : Advice I need to hear at this time concerning my ambitions.

Tarot Reading with Tarot of the Woodland Wardens and Wild Medicine Cards v2

Reading Summary: There is a color correlation between the ram’s clothing in the King of Pentacles and the hyssop flowers in the anchor card, which draws the attention to the base of the ram’s throne. This connection speaks of a need for a strong foundation in order to back up the success that you seek (as seen in the dog in the background of the Ten of Pentacles, who is also close in color match with the hyssop card.

In the Three of Wands, there is no blatant correlations aside from that of the vertical wands standing tall, which connects to the trees in the King of Pentacles and the stalk of the hyssop in the anchor card; standing tall in the center of its own card. There is also a slight color connection between the Three of Wands background and the anchor card’s background. These factors communicate a need for action after you get your foundation in place. You have to be able to stand strong first, before movement can begin towards your dreams and aspirations.

Take Away: This message expands on the Card of the Day message pulled this morning, which is that you can only go so far with planning and preparation before you actually have to start moving towards your goals and take action. The reminder here is that you need to make sure that that foundational planning and preparation is in place first. Don’t jump the gun just because you want to get there faster.

My DesireGoldenrod – You want to ensure that you are going in a healthy direction, and try to prioritize this above everything else.

An Obstacle In My Path Lemongrass – Your negative inner narratives and your drive toward addiction and excess are your greatest obstacles when trying to set yourself on a healthy direction.

The Solution Clary Sage – Focus on clarity of mind and self-awareness. You need to be able to see clearly what you’re doing and the motivations behind your actions in order to circumvent these less healthy tendencies and habits.

Tarot Reading with The Tarot of Dürer and Forest of Enchantment OracleThree of Pentacles

What challenges do I usually face when collaborating with others?

The Hanged Man and A Light In the Forest – While happy to listen to other people’s perspectives and try things their way, you often find that others are not willing to do the same for you. They either want to take control, or they want you to take control and lead them. You have found that, in your experience, collaboration very rarely results in an actual give-and-take from both parties.

Where in my life would I benefit from calling in support?

Ace of Cups and The Gingerbread House – You are quite unskilled when it comes to understanding new emotions. Although this is your journey and your challenge, you would benefit from not going off on it alone.

Three of Cups

What can I celebrate with my community or chosen family?

Page of Wands and Branch of Summoning – Share new discoveries on your path of learning, and doing so well draw in those that share your same passions. This makes it a learning experience for everyone involved and something all enjoy.

Other elements included in this reading:
Staghorn Sumac for Connecting Deeper with Nature and the Wild
Foraged Beech Pods for Realizations that Foster Personal Growth

Daily Self Kindness

I made Miss Luna come lie down with me in the bed instead of letting her stay where she wanted to on the couch because I was feeling needy and wanted her cuddles.

Self Care Saturday (On a Sunday)

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?

Scorpio Sea Tarot, Wild Medicine Herbal Deck, Wild Rituals Intentions Deck, Spirit Animals Oracle

EarthThe Hierophant and Vitex – Restraint is needed this week when it comes to your finances and your health.  Take some time this week to reassess your finances and make some adjustments.  Make sure when you see your financial advisor later this week that you discuss these reassessments and lean into that restraint for the time being. (Now is not the time to tip your mortgage payment back up to double payments.)

AirPage of Cups and Mugwort – Anxiety and depression come from the mind, and they have a habit of trying to sneak in when you’re feeling vulnerable. You’re going to be feeling a bit tender footed this week and you need to make sure that you are doing your meditation to help in keeping your negative inner dialogue from disrupting your balance.

WaterAce of Cups and Masculine Energy – You need to acknowledge over this week the progress that you have made with your emotional growth and new emotional intelligence.  Don’t discount the work you’ve done and the progress you’ve made. Keep in mind that you are strong and capable, and will be able to sustain yourself and support what you’ve accomplished through the holiday season’s busy times simply by acknowledging that the progress exists.

FireSix of Swords atop Three of Swords Rx, Feverfew atop Skullcap – It’s time to focus upon moving past your disappointments into a healthier and more productive mental space. You might end up feeling a bit under the weather this week and it’ll mess with your inspirational spark, but you need to examine whether this “under the weather” is truly a physical ailment… or possibly psychosomatic in nature.

WaningBear (Introspection) – Now is the time to focus on moving away from introspective pursuits that pull you into yourself and away from others. Going out in nature is healthy, but don’t pull away and retreat in other aspects of your life that would leave you susceptible to the negative effects of solitary time.

WaxingHorse (Freedom) – Open your mind and heart to new paths and inspirations.  Although the cards above indicate inspiration might be in short supply, don’t allow your “under the weather” feelings to choke out the ideas that come through.  Explore them and enjoy them.

Take Away – Financial restraint. Make sure I’m meditating to counteract vulnerability and the negative effects of my inner dialogue. Keep in mind my progress and accomplishments, and take care of my health by delving into what may be behind when I’m feeling sick.

There doesn’t seem to be a cohesive message this week, but rather a handful of different smaller tips of things to keep in mind.
