🎨 Weekly Creativity Prompt – Different Scenarios

PromptThe purpose of this activity is to practice interpreting small spreads by combining card meanings, symbols and intuition. We will all interpret the same cards based on a few different (imaginary) situations. A 3 card spread will be posted together with 2 more specific scenarios. It’s your choice which scenario you’d prefer to use, or if you’d rather do a general reading of these cards as for an imaginary querent.

Spacious Tarot - Six of Pentacles, Wheel of Fortune, Child of Pentacles, Page of Pentacles

Scenario 1 – Kim has an ongoing conflict with their older brother and wants some guidance on how to approach this in a better way.

Although you have gone in different directions, you both come from the same shared beginnings (Six of Pentacles). Life has treated you both differently and guided you each to learn what works best for you to persevere and keep moving through the ups and downs (Wheel of Fortune). Take time to consider what is behind these conflicts rather than just the conflict itself. Where is the root?  How can it be fostered to grow into something healthier moving forward? (Child of Pentacles)

Scenario 2 – Stacy has a sneaking suspicion that her friend has a crush on her mom, and it’s been making things awkward. She wants to know what she should say whenever she brings it up.

Start by talking about the past and how much they’ve meant to each other (Six of Pentacles), then segue into how weird life can be and the odd twists and turns it takes along the way (Wheel of Fortune).  Take things slow and be open and supportive.  Don’t fly off the handle or push too hard. (Child of Pentacles)

Gideon’s Challenge

Patio PartyTake Me With

Please don’t
leave me behind
alone
and forgotten
when you visit
places
of laughter
and sparkling lights
Not even
when I say
that I don’t
want to go
because…
that’s a lie

The WeatherThe Weather Here

There is a
give and take
an ebb and flow
to the energy
between you and I
where intensity
combines with
light hearted fun
where home
is found
in the dancing light
of dominance
and submission
and strength
within vulnerability.

Yellow RoseLift Me Up

Happiness comes
and goes
like the flow
of waves
over sand
and sometimes
when the tide
is out
we forget
how sweet
a walk in the surf
can be.
I think I need
a little pick me up

RainforestThe Cling

I love your cling
like moss that creeps
over trees and ground
as you  grip tight
you nurture my soul
and give life
to the heart
of my life to you
with each tendril
of your soul
that clings so tight
and reminds me
each day
that I’m yours

SwansThanks and Gratitude

So much of my life has been spent alone that sometimes I forget how wonderful it is to have community that cares about you.

Yesterday, someone pilfered one of my pictures from here on IG, and it was brought home to me again just how nice it is to have people who care about you and have your back.  People that will reach out and give you a heads up, and even reach out to stand up for you when shit goes awry.

Today’s Gideon’s Challenge isn’t a poem, but rather a sincere expression of gratitude to those around me that are so supportive.  I see you… and I am so very grateful for your presence in my life.
