ahahahaha I lovehate the mirror that tarot (actually lenormand, tonight) can be
Me: agh I did something that made my partner's life harder. What can I do to make her life easier in some other way, to follow up on my verbal apology?
The cards: there's a woman in your life who's having a hard time.
Me: ....yeah. I know.
hellooooo I would like a pendulum question :) if I were to start this week and moving forward being healthy/working out will I get my dream body/mind before school physically starts back up again ? my initials: D.C.T and a fact about myself I am lazy but sometimes I do get a brust of motivation that usually gets me going :)
Pendulum says YES
Hopefully that isnāt because the pandemic remains so bad that in-person schooling remains a pipe dream <3
Is the flourite crystal going to work? iām Sāļø
Pendulum says YES
Hiii. I'm K and a my favorite emoji is š„ŗ. I wonder if I know my future husband and is it the person I have in mind? Thank you so much!!!
thatās a YES to both
pendulum please! š is what iām manifesting coming to fruition? -N
Pendulum says YES
Pendulum readings
yooooooo Iāve been absent for ages I know but Iāve got a pendulum now, and while itās been reasonably helpful for me I want to see if it indeed works with questions anyone else might ask of it.
first 10-15 people (depending on my energy) in my inbox with YES/NO questions will get an answer from my pendulum. For free. I just ask that you let me know how helpful it was after the fact.
Questions alone are fine, but Iād prefer if you include an initial or identifying emoji, and a small fact about yourself so I can get a feel for your energy. First come, first served, and limited to tonight (Aug 1 2020)
Just like tarot readings, if you want me to answer privately, just say so in your ask
Okay Iāve only had two questions so far, and Iām unexpectedly tired, though Iām pretty sure thatās due to life events + time of day. and not due to focusing on readings. Continue sending in questions, and Iāll answer any more tomorrow.
Is s š š½ done with me? M š¤
Iām sorry, my pendulum was very consistently swinging on the line between yes and noĀ (but when I asked āis this a question youāre willing to answer?ā it said yes) so Iām gonna interpret that asĀ āthe answer is unclearā Sorry I donāt have a better answer for you
Hi, does the queen of swords represent me or HJ (Pisces) in the tarot reading I had? And then same question, but with the knight of cups? Iām not sure which is for which but I got those two cards. Thank you for your help! -AF (Aries)
Hi there,
I had to split these into yes/no questions, so here are the questions I asked and their answers:
Does the Queen of Swords represent HJ? NO
Does the Queen of Swords represent AF? YES
Does the Knight of Cups represent AF? NO
Does the Knight of Cups represent HJ? Hesitant YES - it spun for a while instead of answering straight away, but it did settle on an answer eventually.
I hope that helps

What kind of magical person do you think I am based on my blog/personality?
šPink: Sweet and kind, would go out of their way to help others. Usually bubbly and happy and is your average magical girl complete with ribbons and bows and sparkles. Typically the leader of the group
ā¤ļøRed: Passionate and hot headed, sometimes their emotions come off a bit too strong especially when theyāre upset but theyāre fiercely protective of the people they care about. Theyāre the one who blindly rushes into situations without thinking it through first
šš§”Yellow and/or orange: Kind, nurturing and positive. Theyāre either the most mature/parental and serene and supportive of the group or theyāre sporty and energetic and always ready for a friendly competition
šGreen: The strong older sibling type, theyāre nurturing and always there when you need them even when you think you donāt and care for you as though theyāve known you all their life.
šBlue: Smart, sensible and reserved. The one who thinks things through and formulates a plan before blindly rushing into situations. They may come off as distant or overly worried but they care deeply for the safety and well-being of others
šPurple: Another mature one. Shrouded in mystery and secrecy. Though they at first donāt seem to want to open up and keep prefer to keep their distance one you get to know them that air of mystery will start to fade away. Regardless, there's no doubt that theyāre always there for you when you need them most
A 31 Day Tarot Challenge for The Month of October, Inspired by The Major Arcana.
Iām bringing this challenge back because it did a lot of good for a lot of people.
If you participated in the past, I invite you to participate again, with the intent of helping you see how much youāve grown.
If youāve never taken this challenge, I believe it will provide you with a great amount of personal insight and growth.
Each question has been written with the hopes of helping you gain greater insight into yourself, and the world around you.
Remember, each question may be answered with as many or as few cards as you feel are required. Some answers will easily come from one card, some may require several cards.
I encourage you to photograph your cards and journal your answers with the tag,

Mew's Relationship Spread
I'll give it a cooler name if I think of one lol
Last night, I made a post mentioning a new spread I put together for my own use, and I got such a useful answer from it, I offered an equivalent reading to the first person who asked.
The first person to ask was AM (who asked not to be tagged, but agreed that I may post the reading publicly) asking about her relationship with BT.
read using the Mystical Cats tarot, which I adore
here you go, AM:
1. Q: How does BT perceive your relationship?
A: Seven of Sea, reversed
This is an interesting card, because upright it indicates daydreams, illusion, or confusion, and in contrast, when reversed it suggests seeing through those illusions; seeing clearly. (The world continues to exist after the bubble is popped.) It's a bit of a roundabout answer given the wording of the question, but as far as I can tell, BT thinks your relationship is straightforward, or at least he isn't concerned with being confused about it.
2. Q: how does AM (yourself) perceive your relationship?
A: Nine of Sky, reversed
Instead of dreams, if this card were upright, it would represent nightmares, or being helpless against something you fear. Reversed, it indicates a readiness to confront those fears or obstacles. This is not a friendly sort of competition like the Five of Fire would indicate, it's fiercer and more desperate. This probably relates to why you asked me this question: you see this relationship as a source of stress or conflict.
Interestingly, with both of these cards suggesting some variant of dreams, I get the feeling that neither of you has the whole picture. Alternately, it could just be highlighting how much your perspectives differ, that the other's perspective probably seems surprising and incompatible with your own.
If neither of you has the whole picture, that leads perfectly into the scripted question for card 3
3. Q: What is a truth that AM may have missed?
side note, when I drafted this spread, I left the "about this relationship" qualifier out of the sentence because I thought it was implied given the previous two questions, but for both your reading and my own, it appears to be sightly more personal advice, so that's definitely something I'll have to keep in mind when writing up this spread properly for anyone else to use.
A: Sea Kitten.
Like all the Kittens in this deck, the Sea Kitten represents exploration and learning and new experiences. Since this is the Kitten of the Sea, those new experiences are primarily emotional, or related specifically to this relationship. There's two ways to interpret this, and I'll share both, but given the other context you shared privately, I suspect the first is more relevant.
(interpretation a) What have you learned about yourself since you first met BT or since your relationship was new? You have learned how far you can splash into the sea without getting swept away, and you can trust your own judgement going forward.
(interpretation b) You are still learning and testing the waters. Give yourself time to gain experience and you will learn all you need to in order to navigate this situation confidently. In the meantime, it doesn't hurt to be cautious. Emotions, like the Sea, are a powerful force, and easy to lose yourself in.
4. Q: If this relationship is already good, what is a good step AM can take to make it even better? If it's not, what is a first step AM can take to improve the situation?
A: Three of Sky
This card depicts cats who run around wildly and knock things over with no regard for the fact that they may be breaking things. The guidebook says it best: don't compromise your own standards for the sake of companionship. Slightly more generically, this card warns against standing with the type of people who will start drama for their own amusement with no regard for others. (the reversal, which I actually got in this same position in my initial reading with this spread, reminds you not to be the person that starts drama, and also that the people who do start drama are going to reap what they sow, and soon. Which isn't particularly relevant to your spread, but it was interesting that the same card showed up in the same place for both of us. I guess this deck is just really set on the 'avoid drama' instruction, lol)
and the optional fifth card, which felt right to include
5. Q: Is this relationship worth AM's energy?
A: The Hermit, reversed
this isn't a straightforward answer. The reversal here draws attention to how isolating yourself (away from everyone) can be harmful. But even so, I can't see either orientation of The Hermit as avocating focusing on one relationship over all others. Make sure you find the right balance for your life and well-being. (but as the Sea Kitten points out, you probably have enough experience to trust your own judgement)
The highlights that stuck out to me from this: you perceive more conflict than BT does (though perhaps neither of you have a clear view of your relationship). and you need to take care of yourself whether or not you pursue this relationship. And be encouraged: you can trust your own judgement.
I hope that helps :) Let me know. I'm always interested in feedback (especially if something was wrong, so I can figure out why and fix it in future readings)

I just improvised a relationship spread and I'll make a post about it when I'm not procrastinating on going to bed, but it really helped me get my head on straight about a situation I was overthinking and I'd like to spread the love.
it is late, and I don't want to overcommit my energy, but the first person to send me a message asking for a reading with this spread, I will happily do so. romantic, platonic, or familial - any sort of relationship.
four card spread, with an optional fifth that I won't promise to include. (any later requests made between when I get the first, and when I edit the post, I may still do the readings this weekend, but I make no promises.)
if you're interested, send me your initials and theirs (or if they're the same letters, some additional way to distinguish how I focus on each of you throughout the spread) and a random fact about yourself as an exchange of energy
I'll edit this post when I accept someone's request or I go to bed. (if the latter, I'll follow up tomorrow, but I was hoping to do this reading and write it up for you before I go to bed)
EDIT: energy dropped faster than I expected. still feel free to send in your request but I won't get to it until tomorrow night
EDIT 2: CLAIMED. I'll get to that reading tonight. If this goes smoothly I may offer the same reading again, perhaps on a broader scale. :)
tarot deck is coming along! as usual meanings are in the captions :)
i got a lot of asks after my last tarot post abt whether or not these will be available as a physical deck and the answer is hell yeah!! i would love to produce and sell theseā¦ iām checking out different options so updates will be comingĀ š
I just posted this on my Instagram and I thought Iād share! Itās way easier to just drop your answers in the tags so feel free to do that if you want to šš
Have you watched Detective Pikachu? If not, you should. I really enjoyed it and I was able to gasp at how cute Psyduck looks in the big screen. Finding every PokĆ©mon included in every scene was part of the experience, though I probably missed most of them because some shots were busy! Thatās the reason why I have been in the PokĆ©mon mood ever since, the Pokemon Tarot by Eliza Bohnen at Lampflower has proven to be a great buddy, and the perfect example of how tarot mixes well with just about anything you imagine.
My PokĆ©mon knowledge is not as deep and vast as my boyfriendās, so I took the opportunity to share our two very different interests over this deck. I explained to him the traditional meaning of the cards, and he offered his insight about why certain PokĆ©mon could have been chosen for each card. We had a really good time, and I think this is one of the best experiences that this deck offers: being able to work with a tarot deck from a known, cheered place that conveys, at the same time, the traditional tarot ideas with a renewed and out of the ordinary approach.
The artwork is very nice: the rich, saturated hues are probably my favourite thing about the cards. They are vibrant and fresh - and even the darker cards have splashes of colour, so the general outcome is very cohesive. Each card was hand-drawn, inked, and coloured with alcohol-based markers. I like how, in most cards, more than one PokƩmon is chosen - I think this add a lot of depth to the card, as each PokƩmon adds a layer of interpretation. Most of the traditional symbols have been substituted for other elements that fit better within the theme - or even for PokƩmon themselves! For example, the lobster that usually appears in The Moon is a cute Corphish here.
Though it is based on the Rider Waite Tarot, there are a few changes. Aside from the obvious re-interpretations which are natural in any tarot deck, there are also shifts in the names of the cards. Some of the major arcana are pluralized, āLoversā has become āLove,ā āWheel of Fortuneā has become āFortune,ā and āHanged Manā has become āSojournerā. The suits are also renamed: swords are claws, cups are scales, pentacles are coins, and wands are orbs. Additionally, the court cards have also been renamed both to degender them and to make them better fit the PokĆ©mon genre: pages are trainers, knights are leaders, queens are elites, and kings are champions. I would have loved to read why each PokĆ©mon made it into each card, but there is no companion guide available for this deck - and anyway, as I mentioned earlier, exploring the cards and coming up with own conclusions is an awesome experience, especially if thereās someone to share it with!!
The Pokemon Tarot offers a great chance to combine two different interests in a single deck. Both the tarot and the PokĆ©mon worlds are extensive and plentiful of details, so building your own meanings and evolving them (*wink*) according to neighbouring cards or different enquiries is fascinating. It is a beautiful fan-art rendition, and its vibrant colours and expressive artwork are a delight to the eyes. You can find more details about it here, and even see the full gallery here - so donāt leave without checking the wonderful cards yourself!
