daily tarot card 12/18/25: seven of wands

SEVEN OF WANDS—A young man on a­ craggy eminence, brandishing a staff, six other staves are raised towards him from below. Divinatory Meanings: It is a card of valor, for on the ­ surface, six are attacking one, who has, however, the vantage position. On the intellectual plane, it signifies discussion, wordy strife, in business—­ negotiations, war of trade, barter, competition. It is further a card of success, for the combatant is on the top and his enemies may be unable to reach him. Reversed: Perplexity, embarrassments, anxiety.

hello world! i'm jay! i've been interested in practicing paganism (particularly atheopaganism) for ages but i've never really been able to stick to it. i feel like having an accountability buddy usually helps people stick to things better, but since i'm solo for now i figured shouting into the void via tumblr might be a good alternative.

since i'm just starting out -- does anyone have a favorite daily practice? it'd be much appreciated :)
