Hello friends! Welcome to the new, and improved blog. It is I, your lovely hostess, the graceful...
Hey guys! I’ve officially moved! ;D But anyways, please go follow my new account. <3 Continue to support me there. I will be moving the tarot reader questionnaire over to there. (Plus gotta catch up on all da new ones.)
Readers’ Questionnaire
1) How did you get started?
2) How long did you study the cards before you could do readings?
3) How do you interpret the cards?
4) How do you choose cards for a reading?
5) What was the worst advice you’ve ever received?
6) What was the best advice?
7) Do you ever do a reading for someone (A), but it turns into a reading for someone/thing else(B)?
8) What do the court cards mean when it’s not about a person?
9) Where does the energy for a reading come from? You, your client, your cards, etc.
I did a video response because it prevents a wall of text.
thanks to @justtarotstuff for suggesting I answer this. I had a lot of fun.
This week's is a video. It was a biig surprise, and a pleasant one! Everyone gets into tarot for different reasons, and in different ways.
Hey guys, just gonna say that I'm always available for paid readings. You can email me at kiyokiyo.s.1226@gmail. $1/Card I am going to say something that's very personal, and I really hope you guys don't take it the wrong way. I have been dealing with a lot emotionally. So, it's hard for me to provide consistent content. It's an explanation. I am still learning how to function. I am working on it. Thank you for your patience, support, and just being awesome. I am actually making a new blog soon, so this URL will redirect to my new blog. I think I need a fresh start on my dashboard on tumblr. So, things may get weird, but I promise to sort it out. Thank you, thank you, thank you.
Reading Questionnaire
From @gracefulwendigotarot
1) How did you get started? Jealousy, mostly. This is such a dumb story, but I was like 13, and this popular girl at school said that she did Tarot for fun and so my mom bought me a deck that Christmas and I never used it because I didn’t understand the artwork. It wasn’t a standard deck. I used my brother’s deck off and on for the next several years.
2) How long did you study the cards before you could do readings? Currently, it’s taking me about two months. I can do readings, just not completely unassisted.
3) How do you interpret the cards? Intuition, mostly. For now, I’m also using the keyword from the book that stands out to me the most and combining the two for my interpretation.
4) How do you choose cards for a reading? I shuffle for a bit and then draw from the top.
5) What was the worst advice you’ve ever received? Um… “you’re not allowed to do any sort of reading until you know all the meanings.” Wut.
6) What was the best advice? “Take your time to learn, practice often on other people, and you’ll eventually get it.”
7) Do you ever do a reading for someone (A), but it turns into a reading for someone/thing else(B)? Almost every time I do a reading for my husband, it ends up including me and how I feel moreso than answering his question.
8) What do the court cards mean when it’s not about a person? Usually energy/ies related to the situation.
9) Where does the energy for a reading come from? You, your client, your cards, etc. For me, I think it comes from a combination of all 3 unless I’m doing an online reading for someone. Then their energy doesn’t come into play because they can’t touch the cards.
This week we get to highlight Paige who does tarot. (And her baby rats are the cutest!) I really enjoyed your response to 7, haha.
Herb of The Week: Lavender
Lavender The Gemini's Plant
Latin Name: Lavendula Officinalis
General: This plant comes in many, many different forms. There’s the fragrance, medical, cooking, and washing. Today, we are going to be focusing on the medical one, though my information applies to almost every single one. This is a hardy perennial, that's part of the mint family(surprise!). It's usually growing around 12-18in (3.6-5.4m), and blooms from June to August (plus it's ruled by Mercury, so a total gemini). These thrive in full sun, and poor soil. (So these are a great rotation herb! Totally perfect for bringing some life back into that soil.)
Historical: This plant was super popular in China. Considered the "White Flower Cure-All". In Greece, they learned and studied it's antibacterial properties, and relaxing effects. The Romans made this plant's price go up with their superstitions that an asp would make its' nest in lavender bushes. In France, they used it as a laundry detergent. In England, it wasn’t unusual for a laboring mother to be holding a bunch of lavender.
Medical: This plant has been used for headaches, stress, disinfecting wounds, burns, and even labor. That's right; The smell of this is said to "wake you up" a bit, and to give some courage. This plant can kill some scary bacteria (typhoid, strep, pneumona, etc.) in high doses. Not only that, but it helps scars fade. It’s not good enough on it’s own for some real results, though it definitely helps when you add it to your routine. Apply crushed up lavender as early as possible to minimize damage. The tea has sedative effects, and you shouldn’t mix it with any kinda of other sedative medication (chloral hydrate). It’s been known to keep patients under longer when anesthesia has been used, as well as slow the central nervous system down.
Now, how can you use this plant? You get the oil from the leaves, and the blossoms! Did ya know that at different times the plant has a different level of phytochemicals (the goodies)? The best time to harvest lavender is before they bloom completely, and after a long period of hot, and dry temperatures. Here in Texas, we've had a long period of hot, and wet temperatures. I must warn you guys against using excessive amounts of lavender essential oil (orally), especially on infants. This plant can be toxic in high doses. The essential oil is often filtered by the kidneys, and liver.
Hi I'd like a reading on my love life what's to come I have this guy that I've been on and off with and this is something I don't want can we become something more stable or will I be meeting someone soon? Thank you
Hey Anon! I drew 2 cards for ya; 5 of Swords (r) and 7 of Swords (r). I asked first; Will he become stable? Secondly; Will you meet someone within the next month or two?
So, it looks like you’re in a tough spot as far as relationships go. There is too much that’s going on with you personally. Let’s talk about your relationship with G. You’re having to sacrifice your happiness to be with G, but in order to find someone else; You’d have to sacrifice even more. You say that this is something you don’t want, and that’s totally fine. Listen to yourself. This card prompts the question of; “What do you really want from a relationship? Is it even worth it?”
Next we’ll look at 7 of Swords in the reverse. This is a card that suggests you need to work on yourself first. You might not be as ready to enter a relationship as you think. You’re ignoring your own advice, and others’. You have too many things on your plate to put up with G’s shit, or anyone else’s for that matter. You need to take a step back and re-evaluate what you want to do in life. There’s a law of attraction, and I worry that you’ll attract the wrong people if you rush yourself.
I hope this reading helps! Hang in there Anon. You can always turn situations around by redirecting your energy. Take a step back, and really think about why you’re doing the things you are. I wish you luck in your love life, and may you find someone who treats you the way you deserve. <3 If you have any follow-up questions, or responses; Lemme know!
Thank you for my reading about my job 😊 you are right, and they were supportive of me! I appreciate you pulling a card for me, I apologize that I sent it when free readings were over
Aw, darling. No worries. Some days I am strict about keeping it on the time I request (those always due to me, never ya'll), but other days; When I'm feeling good, I don't mind letting it slide. ;D I am so glad you updated me! It's always a blast when I am spot on. :D Have fun, and take care of yourself. Thank you for your time, and trust. <3
Hi there!! I came across your blog and was wondering if you could be ever so kind to give me a reading, possibly something along the lines of relationship/love.. I'm in a bubble ! Xoxo💕🌸💘🔮
I used my Lenormand deck, and though it wasn’t super direct on the relationship/love... I think this has the advice that you need. What I drew for you were 3 cards on what you needed to know about the things influencing your love life. I got The Cross(36), The Key(33), and The Lilies(30).
Okay, so this is gonna be long. This is decreasing by the 3s, which is highly interesting, and is definitely important. What is a negative aspect of the number 3? Impatience.
The Cross represents a situation requiring faith. The Key represents something being revealed, or understood. The Lilies represent someone of influence, maturity, or wisdom. It also represents a content situation, which I think this situation is 50/50.
The Cross and The Key suggests that something has happened. The Key and The Lilies suggest a third person is involved. Now, The Cross comes with this message of “Slow down. Calm down.” You need to think rationally, and understand The Key (aka, whatever happened). You need to understand who is involved, why they are, why it happened, and how it happened. The Lilies on the card are red, and red lilies represent sensuality. This further suggests my beliefs of a “third person” involved in the ordeal.
I hope this reading pertains to your situation well, and if it does not; Just lemme know and I’ll pull some tarot the second time around!
Hello, followers!
I’m really curious as to how my Afterman: Full Story spread works out. So if anybody is willing to be my guinea pig, I’ll take $10 off the total price of $30, or if you just want to try out the Ascension or Descension spreads, I’ll take $5 off of each. Today only.
These are considered life path spreads. Ask me any questions you may have about these.
Paige is doing some great discounts today! Click here to check out her Store envy and the spread she mentions. ;)
24 Hour 6/16 6/17 Free Readings
As it says; I am doing a full 24 hours. 12:30PM 6/16/2016 to 12:30PM 6/17/2016. It will strictly be those hours. 1-3 card readings. I am closing my Etsy shop, and will only accept readings through tumblr, and my e-mail(kiyokiyo.s.1226@gmail). My rate is still a $1/card. I’ll be creating a more visual form for my spreads. :”D So yea, get a freebie, and consider supporting me.
Hello! Could I have a reading on how changing my availability will affect my relationship with my co workers? I wasn't getting a lot of hours and I am hoping to get a second job soon 😊 thank you
Heya Anon! My free readings ended yesterday, but I drew a one carder for ya. I got The Magician. Looks like it won’t affect your relationship with your co-workers! Just talk to your coworkers, and let them know. They’ll be understanding. You are on the right path my friend.
I hope this helps. <3 I should be opening free readings again sometime around Wednesday, or Thursday.
Readers’ Questionnaire
1) How did you get started?
2) How long did you study the cards before you could do readings?
3) How do you interpret the cards?
4) How do you choose cards for a reading?
5) What was the worst advice you’ve ever received?
6) What was the best advice?
7) Do you ever do a reading for someone (A), but it turns into a reading for someone/thing else(B)?
8) What do the court cards mean when it’s not about a person?
9) Where does the energy for a reading come from? You, your client, your cards, etc.
1) Now this is a fun story. I actually wasn’t crazy about readings before, and I turned a few down, actually. It’s wasn’t until my friend (the same one I turned readings down from) was doing a fundraiser for an organization and selling her readings that I did it (more to help her organization than anything). Well, the reading was SCARY accurate, and I had to reevaluate my life. I then went out and bought myself a deck and book from ye olde Barnes & Noble, and the rest is history.
2) Honestly, I started reading for myself almost immediately. I didn’t study them long before I started doing readings for others, either. I’ve never charged (accepted tips once), but it may have been a month or two before I read someone else’s cards. This was a close friend who I knew, though. It took me much longer (maybe 7 months) to read for “strangers.”
3) Goodness, it depends on the deck. I often adhere to the guidebook for a deck, as it is intended to help us understand he subtle symbols and intended meanings behind the artwork. Sometimes I got intuitive and ditch the books, but I typically try to stay to the “intended” meanings.
4) Intuitively and experience mixed together. Some decks work best for certain types of questions, and it’s important to honor that. For example, my Kuan Yin Oracle is very pointed, whereas my Enchanted Maps Oracle is pretty open to answering anything (but it’s great with relationships), as is my Journey into the Hidden Realms Tarot. Once I select the deck, I shuffle three times and deal the cards.
5) I’m honestly not sure I’ve had any truly bad advice. Probably the one I hear most is that someone can’t buy their first deck, when I have bought each of my decks. For some people it works out that someone else gets them a deck, but that model hasn’t worked for me.
6) That there is no correct or incorrect way to read. Everyone is different.
7) No, but I have had a reading come out upside down and backwards. All three cards were in the reversed position (shouldn’t been upright), and the past and future should’ve been swapped. It was the absolute oddest thing that’s happened to me. The deck needed a rest, it was way overworked.
8) Actually, with my Journey into the Hidden Realm Tarot, the courts rarely represent a person, but rather to embrace/be wary of those personality traits in ones’ self or others. Otherwise, they can represent events, but that’s more often the Knights. Usually the rest of the courts represent either a person or personality traits in my experience.
9) Great question! I actually ascribe to “the source.” This is just a nondescript way I learned to refer to the source of energy when learning Reiki, and I have pretty much adopted the source as a deity/higher power/god (but none of those are accurate or adequate to discuss the source for me). Sorry, I know that’s not very descriptive, but I can’t really explain it anymore than that. The source is the source.
Another of my favorites has done it! It's super cool to know you used to be so iffy on the cards! I have convinced quite a few people of how fun it is (and later, accurate) by doing on the spot readings. :)
I am seriously loving the diversity of these questionnaires. Ahh.
Free Readings 3P-10P CST
Hey guys! I don’t have much to do, so keep me busy. 1 or 2 card free readings. If you are interested in supporting me, please e-mail me for those! My rate is a $1 per card. Kiyokiyo.s.1226@gmail ;) You have until 10PM CST today to ask for one. :) Plenty of time.
5 more hours to get a reading!
The reading was spot on! I find it hard to accept things (this reading applies to a current situation) and i don't know how but i guess im too caught up in my emotions to have a clear view of things. Thank you so much! You explained things clearly :)
I am so glad it was! I wish you luck with your situation. Have a wonderful day now that you understand stuff a bit better. <3
hey! can i have a free reading? i saw they're open. Can i have a reading on some advice? (nothing specific. just general life advice). If i misread the post feel free to ignore this! thank you in advance :)
You read completely right! ;D So I drew two cards for ya: What you need to listen to, and What you need to stop.
1) Eight of Swords2) (r) The Chariot
It looks like you’re damned if you, and you’re damned if you don’t. You’d normally think a card like this would be negative, but I don’t feel that way at all. It feels more like you just need to accept this. Once you accept this; That rain will just kind of disappear. You’ll have your horizons broaden so much. If you haven’t reached out yet; Now is a really good time to reach out, and get someone else’s perspective.
It seems like what you haven’t been doing is being forthright. There is a sense of losing control, and just crying out in frustration. Perhaps this is why the Eight of Swords came forward. You’ve hit a road block, and it seems you have to just walk around it. Maybe you’ll leave your Chariot behind, but remember, Strength comes after the Chariot. The Chariot is a card about giving and taking. To drive a chariot takes a team after all. Sometimes a team will leave you stranded, and you just have to get back up again.
I hope this reading helps! If you got any follow-up Qs; come ask me. Hope you don’t mind I set it to public. And thank you! <3

Thank you so so so much for the reading <3 you brought me happiness and hope :) I do love expressing myself creatively (through writing, art and even lesson plans for elementary school students). Thank you so much for your kind words :) I just followed you (I sometimes get shy asking for readings through my account). Thank you again :)
I officially recognize you! ;) Welcome to the fun time 'Anon'. (Though I'll keep your secret a bit longer.) It's so lovely to receive a follow-up like this. So long as you're polite, no one minds if you're anon or not. I'll probably be doing more free readings Monday. :D Eeee. That is so cool you're a teacher as well. Creativity is everywhere you seek it seems. ;)
