Do you have any modern Norse head canon? Like if the gods were in a modern setting, what jobs would they have? What style/music taste would they have?
I just saw this! What a fun question! And you bet I have some ideas because when I hyper-fixate on Norse mythology, I go hard, baby.
An incomplete list of a few of the gods:
Odin
A politician or CEO of some sort--as long as the cash keeps flowing (legally or not). He doesn’t want money for money’s sake, or for material things; he wants it so he’s afforded the luxury of privacy and anonymity when he desires it (and to fund major scientific research projects and universities--he has a soft spot for those and often spends hours in their libraries). A consummate conman, but he does have a heart...usually.
He's a charmer and incredibly charismatic. A "Forbes 500" sort of fellow. In reality, he cares more for the art of pulling the strings than for running a company itself. He'd much rather be wandering--he loves Westerns and cowboys, hence the country music peppered in (Johnny Cash, Hank Williams, old Appalachian ballads) among his classical playlists. An extroverted introvert--disappears on weekends into the mountains, and no one knows exactly what he's doing up there. They're all too afraid to ask.
Thor
A pro-wrestler. Has a devoted fanbase and writes all of his own lines for the matches. He’s made a few forays into acting, usually playing lovable lunkheads, and he’s surprisingly good at it.
If it involves fitness and/or food, he's lifted it, punched it, or tasted it. Lives for beer festivals and looks up restaurants first whenever he visits a new place. Has a growing brood of big, boisterous dogs (and one pig--it's a "house pig," don't worry). Beloved by generally everybody who meets him, and perpetually the life of the party despite his occasionally quick temper. Goes hog-wild for monster truck rallies, hard rock, heavy metal, and "Life Is a Highway." Does not know what “use your inside voice” means.
Tyr
Ex-lawyer who founded a nonprofit that works to get wrongly incarcerated folks out of jail. Couldn’t stomach being a prosecutor for too long--he found too much of it was all about image, publicity, headlines, rather than real justice. So he turned to grassroots efforts. His nonprofit does a few things: fights minor drug possession charges for the disenfranchised, works in prisons to rehabilitate rather than punish, and does outreach for kids whose parents are in jail.
He’s grizzled and looks more like he should be chopping wood than going up against the courts, but he was never really one for a tailored suit, anyway. Plaid and old jeans and work boots.
Drives an old pickup even though he can afford something better, and has a big, husky bark of a laugh (especially when he settles down for some Scotch at the pub). Nickname is Captain Hook.
Freyja
Founder of Valkyrie Self Defense--a wildly successful franchise of gyms and workout programs that focus on teaching women self-defense techniques. She’s been on the cover of Sports Illustrated twice but always scowls when journalists ask her why she didn’t just go into modeling. Her shoulder muscles and biceps are almost as popular as her red carpet fashion. She speaks her mind always and regrets nothing, making her infinitely quotable and usually trending on Twitter.
Also hosts a popular self-empowerment and sex-positive podcast, and runs a cat rescue sanctuary. She currently has four cats--they have their own Instagram and merch, which always sells out.
Frigg
The go-to doula and midwife. Runs a clinic for women and new mothers that also includes a childcare center. Usually wears her thick, silver hair in a braid that trails down to the middle of her back. Her clothes are earthy and floral and always, always the “flowy, art-teacher-you-really-liked-in-high-school” type. Frequents the local farmer’s market every Saturday and knows how to brew a killer cup of tea.
Everyone knows she’s only person alive who can bring Odin to heel, although she’d rather stay out of the limelight he often enjoys.
Her eyes are pale blue, almost periwinkle, and sparkle when she smiles. Does a wicked Joni Mitchell impression, which makes sense, given how much she listens to Joni Mitchell. Everyone’s mom, and brilliant--almost eerily so.
Baldr
Wealthy, and expected to take up his father’s mantle, but would really rather not...he’s more like his mum in that way, although he has his father’s magnetic charisma. You want to hate him, because he’s just perfect--handsome, as in “movie star handsome,” and everything he wears looks good on him (he favors a simple, white button-down, navy blue trousers, and boating shoes). You want to hate him, but you just can’t--he’s the nicest guy in the world. He wears his wealth and privilege well, but seems a bit uncomfortable with it. Rather than hobnobbing with the elite, he spends most of his time in charitable pursuits, and rather than delegating the actual work to lackeys, he likes to get up to his elbows in it himself. It makes more sense that way, and it’s the right thing to do.
He loves cycling, and spends every spare minute he gets riding. He’s browned from it, but the tan looks good on him, of course, and only turns up the wattage on his Colgate smile. Which you want to hate, you really do, but you can’t, because he’s so genuinely interested in how you’re doing and if you’re well, and what you need, and how he can help.
Angrboða
Rocker and bar owner who partied hard in the 70s and even harder in the 80s. Her downtown bar became a hotspot for up-and-coming rock bands and even launched several major careers in the music industry. A practicing witch, she usually does readings after concerts.
She has no filter, and never does anything by halves. She loves and loathes and lives at full volume. She can drink Thor under the table, is covered in tattoos (some good, some embarrassing, and all consummately hers) and her voice sounds like a curl of smoke. She plays the bass and the drums like an absolute boss, still rocks a hair metal mane, and lives for her kids.
Hel
Her mother’s daughter through-and-through, although she takes herself a bit more seriously. She has her father’s green eyes and penchant for toeing the line. A writer who indulges her exhibitionist side as the lead vocalist for a Chelsea Wolfe-ish troupe of musicians and performance artists.
Proud goth, and definitely an introvert at heart. Her favorite place in the world is the old, threadbare, impossibly comfortable recliner next to the window overlooking the mountains in the family cabin. She’s working on her debut novel there, and prefers to write it all out by hand first, rather than typing it.
Jumped the gun when she was 21 and tattooed one half of her face in intricate knot work that resembles a skull’s. Professional eye-roller. Her phone lock screen is her parents, but she’d never admit it.
Sigyn
Nurse practitioner and the walking embodiment of “patience of a saint.” It’s hard to feel upset or worried or stressed when she’s around. She has a knack for helping her patients stay calm.
She’s small but her personality fills up the room. Exceptionally good at baking, but dislikes cooking meals that aren’t dessert. (Her cinnamon bread is to die for, and people constantly tell her she should sell it, but she’s fine giving it away for free).
The best “boy mom.” Not afraid to roughhouse with her twin, hellion 11-year-olds. Those boys are her life. Objectively, she has her hands full, since they inherited their father’s wild penchant for mischief, but they respect and love their mom too much to do any real harm.
She’s got a biting, wicked wit, always smells like floral perfume, and gives the best hugs, second only to Thor.
Loki
An itinerant performer--actor, guitar-strummer, fiddler, Renaissance (faire) man, juggler, fire-swallower, and only a thief sometimes. Has multiple viral tweets and TikToks to his name. If he ever chose to stay put, he’d probably hit it big in Hollywood, but he’d rather be running off to that elusive Somewhere Else. Lives out of his RV and travels cross-country picking up odd jobs here and there, and always makes sure to swing back home as much as he can to see the kids (the highlight of their year is summer road trips in the RV, and he makes sure to hit all the best hiking and fishing spots. His BBQs are legendary).
Go-to road trip tunes: the more raucous, the better. Also, Queen, always.
Occasionally, he has more money than he should, doing what he does, and no one is quite sure how or where he gets it. But the word is, he has some dirt on his old pal, Odin, and uses that to his advantage when he needs to. A little blackmail never hurt anyone.
Perpetual thrill-seeker: sky diving, bungee jumping, “you haven’t lived until you’ve hiked Angel’s Landing while high” sort of guy. Pierced and tatted and rangy and most likely the funniest person you’ll ever meet, but sometimes, his smile is a bit too sharp, too like a knife. It makes you wonder if he’s hiding something dark or painful or worrisome under that easy, loud cackle.
I personally do not have any deities to work with and have lately had this calling to work with my ancestors. I have done several readings and tried different techniques in order to learn how to communicate with them but it doesn't sound like an easy task.
A good friend of mine heard about my predicament and believes that the reason my ancestors aren't to keen on helping me is due to their traumas. My ancestors are resoundingly Christian and close minded it seems. She encouraged me to have a ritual to try and heal their traumas and find a common ground for us to communicate on.
I am attaching photos of the readings I did, along with the ritual I am putting together for the new moon!
✨ a tarot spread i made for trying to see who’s reaching out to you ✨
1. card to represent entity
queen of cups - a beautiful, introspective woman sits on a throne at the edge of the sea. this entity is a women or has feminine energy, she is caring and compassionate. intuitive and creative, she goes with the flow. she might be an empath, a highly sensitive person, a healer, or psychic.
2. my relationship to them
the empress - a full figured woman, with a peaceful aura and peaceful energy. perhaps someone from my maternal line, with the previous card it seems to make sense that it is a female. a call to connect with feminine energy. she is also deeply connected to nature and perhaps is calling me to connect with nature and the female divine as well. with the pregnant belly showing, it really points to being a maternal ancestor.
3. why are they reaching out
the sun - her warmth and light shine down on me, she wants me to be happy and positive. she wants me to live life to the fullest that perhaps the people who came before me couldn’t have. she wants me to be open and confident, free and careless.
4. how they relate to my ancestors / are they an ancestor?
the hierophant - either they taught my ancestors about spirituality and tradition or they were an ancestor who taught others. they passed on knowledge, perhaps cultural traditions. with the previous cards, it would make sense for this person to be some kind of spiritual advisor or healer.
5. what can i do to hear them out?
page of wands - communicate via prayer or just talking, they want me to undertake a journey but for it to be creative, lively, and free. they want me to be full of energy and find my passion and go for it. perhaps a path similar to the one they took.
6. what can i do to honor them?
eight of pentacles - card of apprenticeship and mastery, whatever i’m currently practicing, keep doing what i’m doing because this is the right path. i’m currently in college studying art history, and trying to learn more and more about my own history. i must keep at this. they are encouraging me to do so. i will achieve success this way.
7. card to represent their origin
seven of wands - this is someone who was fiery at times and stood up for what they believed in. perhaps they were caught in the middle of a battle or constantly had people against them or critical of them. despite their sensitive nature, they defended themselves and protected what they cared about. if they were a teacher of some sort, then it would make sense for them to have a few who did not agree with them.
4. is there anything you would like to communicate to me?
5. how can i honour you?
🖤2.
🖤5. 🖤1. 🖤3.
🖤4.
note: i don't draw cards, i just let them pop out freely as i'm shuffling. so, in my case, if i had multiple cards pop out for the first question, i would assume that there were multiple ancestors present. if you draw cards differently & would like to speak to multiple ancestors, consider altering the questions to make them more plural.
I’m sure in your google searches you probably heard about cord-cutting.
For me, this is what I use to cut ties with someone.
The key with cord cutting is that it is the last step you take in a situation so that means you have to get rid of all their “stuff” in your space. By that I mean delete photos of them off your phone and social media’s, block their number and social media’s too, etc
THEN once you know in your heart of hearts you are done... that’s when you conduct a cord-cutting ritual...
I’ve seen on social media the most popular option to cut cords by wrapping a cord around two candles but here’s a different option for you involving knot magic.
✨Supplies needed ✨
✨ 2 Pieces of paper
✨ 2 cords (preferably of different colors but if it’s the same color it’s fine)
✨ Salt
✨ Yarrow (feel free to sub this for any other strength, releasing type herb)
Taking the two cords and bring them together. Tie 9 knots starting from one end working down to the other.
In each knot, tie in your intent of letting go. Each knot you can repeat the same intent or you can include something within the ties that you’re trying to let go of, whether that be emotions of shame, fear, and guilt, etc.
Take your two separate pieces of paper.
On one write your name and on the other write theirs.
Tie the two separate pieces to opposite ends of your knotted cord.
Cast a circle of salt and yarrow on top of a fire-safe dish, the circle should be wide enough that it doesn’t touch the cord that you will lay in the center.
Light both pieces of paper on fire preferably at the same time. If not it’s okay it won’t affect your spell. FIRE SAFETY FIRST.
Once the cord has completely ashed take your remains and bury them off your property and away from your home.
“In order to be healed, you need to work through your backlog of unprocessed emotions. You need to cry about the lack of sensitivity with which you were treated; to be angry about the violation of family boundaries; and to summon up the fear of being a young child with no one looking after your needs.
The more you can connect with these feelings, the more you will be in touch with your original nature. You will discover that you haven’t lost the capacity to respond naturally to daily events, you’ve just been denied permission to do it. Once you practice being more emotionally alive in a safe, supportive atmosphere, you will become more true to yourself, more in tune with your wishes and needs, and less willing to tolerate unhealthy situations.”
I am not abandoned because I won't abandon myself. I will always be here. I embrace every version of myself with love. I give myself the love I didn't receive. I am here. I am not alone.
What wounds does your inner child have and how can you help heal them?
Please remember that this is a general reading and some things may not apply to you. Don't force it to fit. I offer paid readings on my page if you would like a personal reading. Prices are listed there. Please message me if you are interested!
Pile One (Fuchsite):
How do you see yourself?
Seven of Wands:
You view yourself as someone who has fought tooth and nail to get to where you are. You also believe you have a strong sense of justice and will never let others stand in their way. However, due to the difficulties you've encountered in your life, you have lost the ability to see others as allies, which has hindered your ability to make new friends, keep friends, and ask for help when you need it.
The Widow:
Throughout her life, the Widow has suffered a lot of death, literally and figuratively. She, however, has survived each of these losses with a great amount of strength. While you have had a lot of difficulties in your life, you have handled them with great dignity and grace. These are the things you believe make you strong and give you the ability to survive all that life throws your way.
How does your inner child see you?
Ten of Cups:
This is the card of fairy tales and having it come out here is showing me that your inner child thinks of you as their fairy tale ending. You are everything your inner child ever dreamed of becoming. They view you as obtaining their happily ever after, after having gone through a period of struggles in life. You are very successful and charming in their eyes.
The Coquette:
In their eyes, you are extremely charming, confident, and flirtatious. You have everyone’s eyes on you when you walk into a room. Everyone either wants to be you or do you. You are able to charm the socks off just about anyone you encounter, making them give you just about anything you want. You are very dreamy in your inner child’s eyes.
How does your inner child feel currently?
Two of Swords:
They feel out of balance and they do not know how to find balance again. They are scared because they view you as this amazing person, as the one who they always dreamed of becoming and you do not think of yourself like that, which scares them. Because how can they see you for what you truly are and you not see that? How can you be the same person yet be so so, different?
What did you lack as a child?
Ten of Pentacles:
This is the card of abundance, of happy families. It seems to me that your family lacked financial abundance in your childhood and this really affected your happiness as a whole family but also as an individual.
What is something that has left your inner child scarred?
Three of Pentacles:
At some point in your life, you were the victim of envy, and this scarred your inner child. The people around you were jealous of you, so instead of trying to help you, they tried to destroy you instead. As a result of them hurting you, your inner child struggles to trust others.
How does that thing affect your life now?
Ten of Wands:
This has affected your ability to work hard, and your progress in life. When these people were trying to ruin your life you were at a point where your progress and hard work were just starting to pay off. And now you have a fear of making progress in your life because you fear the people around you will not support your life last time.
The Empress:
The Empress is all about growth and having it come out here is telling me that your fear of success is hindering your growth within yourself. Your inner child’s trauma is what is causing you to fear your own success and your mistrust of others.
What is something you can do to heal your inner child?
Nine of Swords:
As a result of the trauma that your inner child has endured, they have become very anxious and depressed. Your lack of trust in others is your inner child coming forward.
Seven of Cups:
By rediscovering your dreams of success, you will be able to heal your inner child. As a result of your past, you have lost those dreams and this has caused a lot of pain to your inner child. You will be more willing to achieve success once you realize that people in your life don't determine how you spend your life, thus healing your inner child.
Princess:
You are your own knight in shining armor, according to this card. There is no need for anyone else to fight for you. To help your inner child heal, your guides are telling you that you must fight for yourself. You do not need the people in your life to approve of your life decisions.
How can you support your inner child?
The Devil:
As we have established, your inner child views you as the person they have always dreamed of becoming, and this card is showing that one way to support your inner child is by viewing yourself as they do. You can regain balance in your life by aligning your views of yourself with theirs.
Tower:
This card tells you to unplug and relax. You need some self-care at this moment. Your guides are saying that a way for you to support your inner child is by taking care of yourself. Love yourself, view yourself the way your inner child does.
What does your inner child have to say to you?
Six of Cups:
When you were a kid you were very passionate about life and your dreams of success. Those dreams were shattered by setbacks and jealous people who made you lose heart. You are being urged by your inner child to rediscover those dreams. Channel your inner child so you can feel that passion yet again.
Pile Two (Amethyst):
How do you see yourself?
The Empress:
Charm, charisma, and beauty are just a few of the things you think make you special. Your view is that you are a very creative and intelligent person who can succeed in anything they do. In your eyes, you exude a strong motherly nature that compels others to love being in your presence making you a great friend and lover.
The Gamine:
The Gamine rejects all things that society deems feminine, often rocking a pixie cut or a short chop with boxy clothes. They are free-spirited and a delight to be around. This is how you see yourself, as possessing a charming youthful spirit.
How does your inner child see you?
Six of Wands:
Your inner child sees you as someone who loves the spotlight but is very passionate, determined, and unafraid to take risks. In their eyes, you are positive, optimistic, and a natural-born leader. It feels to me that you are not at all someone they ever imagined becoming but they love who you have become.
The Siren:
The siren is a symbol of the challenge of resistance. Irresistible, she can entice just about anyone into her traps. She has every enchanted by her beauty and her voice. That is how your inner child perceives you, as someone who is irresistible and extremely strong.
How does your inner child feel currently?
Queen of Cups:
Your inner child feels very loyal to you. They love you very much and cannot believe how far you have come in your life. They are putting you on a pedestal due to the fact that you have surmounted everything they could have ever imagined becoming. They idolize you.
The High Priestess:
As this is the card of secrets, it seems like they are also reluctant to discuss how they are feeling at the moment. Maybe it is hard for them to trust others so they aren’t willing to share with me how they’re feeling currently. From the energy, I sense that they feel alone and that they cannot trust anyone else but themselves.
What did you lack as a child?
The Hierophant:
You had a very hectic childhood. Your family never had any traditions. Not only were there no traditions, but there was a lack of balance as well. Constantly walking on eggshells around the people in your life, you never knew what to expect. Not wanting to rock the boat for fear of uproar.
Three of Swords:
As a result of your hectic childhood, you received heartbreak after heartbreak. This makes sense with the energy I am receiving from your inner child. Your inner child is very untrustworthy because you lacked the stability in your childhood to feel like you could truly trust others.
What is something that has left your inner child scarred?
Ten of Wands:
As a kid, the people in your life relied on you a lot to provide for them and to keep them in check. You were blamed for many things, and you had to enforce balance in a place where it did not exist. You were the parent to your siblings and you were the parent to yourself. Which has left your inner child scarred and scared to trust others.
Justice:
As a child, you experienced a lack of justice. You were blamed for so many of the bad things that happened because you were expected to be the emotional punching bag for so long and when you didn't live up to your role you were punished.
How does that thing affect your life now?
Three of Pentacles:
This scarring affected your education. Your family may have pressured you to stay home and take care of them, so you did not pursue higher education. Alternatively, you may not believe you are intellectually capable of pursuing higher education. Whatever the case may be, your education has been greatly affected by the scarring your inner child experienced.
What is something you can do to heal your inner child?
Three of Wands:
The way for you to heal your inner child is by teaming up with someone. Asking for help. You have been conditioned all your life to be a strong individual, who never asks for help even when they need it. Now is the time to change that. Your guides want you to reach out to someone and ask for help when you need it. You do not need to tough it out alone.
Voyage:
Voyage tells you that you have all the answers within yourself, and you know it. You have been trying to avoid rocking the boat for some time now even though you knew that asking for help was the right option. You know, and maybe always have known, that you need help to get through this. Your inner child urges you to listen to yourself over trying to be what everyone else is telling you to be.
How can you support your inner child?
Two of Pentacles:
Your whole childhood lacked balance which left your inner child wounded. Here, your guides are telling you that the way for you to support your inner child is by finding balance in your life.
Escapist:
For a long time now, you have avoided what needs to be done in your life, avoiding this lack of balance. The way to support your inner child is to come home to yourself. Stop running away from yourself and what you need to do. Find that balance so you can begin to heal.
What does your inner child have to say to you?
Seven of Pentacles:
The Seven of Pentacles is all about plans paying off and having it come out here shows me that your inner child is telling you to maintain hope because soon your plans will pay off. If you do not have plans for the future, this is your inner child's way of telling you that you may need to plan more for your future because your hard work will pay off.
Additional Messages:
A channeled message I received from your inner child is, "You possess limitless abundance, you just need to believe it."
Pile Three (Amazonite):
How do you see yourself?
Nine of Wands:
You have faced an extreme amount of seemingly insurmountable challenges in your life and have come out on top almost every time. This has caused you to believe that you have unlimited potential to achieve all of your dreams. You see yourself as someone who will preserve until they reach their end goal.
The Demon Mother:
The Demon Mother is a vessel of mysterious power. She has a strong ability to manifest whatever it is she desires. She, however, commands attention, and others can’t help but be in awe of her. This is how you see yourself.
How does your inner child see you?
Ace of Wands:
Your inner child sees you as someone who is constantly pushing forward towards the things they want. They think that you are very successful when it comes to getting the things you want. Overall it seems to me that you and your inner child view you in the same way, as a very hardworking fiery individual. You could even be a fire sign, Aries, Leo, or Sagittarius.
The Psychic:
It is the psychic's strong intuition that allows them to see the future. They are able to predict what will happen in the future. Your inner child sees you as someone who has great abilities when it comes to your intuition. Whether you have practiced it or not doesn’t matter in their eyes, because to them you are very very magical.
How does your inner child feel currently?
Two of Pentacles:
They feel as though they are out of balance. This is interesting to me because they view you ultimately the same way as you view yourself. However, based on the energy I am getting from both you and them I think that you may be unaware of how strong your intuition really is. This is where they feel that imbalance, in you being unaware of how much power you hold. They know you can do so much with your powers if you were just aware of them.
What did you lack as a child?
Knight of Swords:
It seems to me that you had a masculine energy in your childhood who was very aggressive and caused you a great deal of drama and conflict growing up. This person loved to fight and that’s all they did when you were a kid, whether it was with you or other people. You were a witness to a lot of aggression.
Two of Swords:
Because of that person and their aggression, your childhood lacked a lot of balance. It was always a crossroads when it came to them, whether you should avoid them or face them. You were constantly juggling the drama and conflict that they put you through that your childhood lacked peace and balance.
What is something that has left your inner child scarred?
Judgment:
You lacked the ability to make decisions for yourself as a child and this really left your inner child scarred. This aggressive person had strong control over almost everything in your life at a young age and you were never really given the chance to be in charge of your own life.
Strength:
When you were a kid you feared standing up for yourself against this person who had so much control over you. This fear made you believe that you were not strong enough to stand up for yourself, which left your inner child scarred as well.
How does that thing affect your life now?
The Hermit:
You now live your life in a constant hermit mode. Avoiding others at all costs because you fear ending up in a relationship like the one you had with that person. You are lonely as a result. You may have a few friends but you keep them at arm’s length, not allowing them to truly get to know you. You believe that you are the only one who will ever truly know you and love you.
What is something you can do to heal your inner child?
Four of Pentacles:
The card of possessiveness indicates holding on to what you have with all your might. According to your guides, the only way you can heal your inner child is by keeping your things to yourself. Because you didn't have much control over your life and what you had when you were growing up, you aren't so possessive now. Since you never had anything to yourself as a kid, you allow others to take it from you at will. You may also just give your things to others because you aren't used to having them yourself. Your guides want you to stop that behavior and start holding onto the things you have.
Garden:
This card tells you that now is the time to focus on yourself, even if you feel that it is selfish. Put yourself first because you can now. Even though you were conditioned to believe that you are not in control of yourself, you are. Now is the time to truly listen to yourself and what you want, then go after it. If you do that, something good will arise, and that good thing will be the healing of your inner child.
How can you support your inner child?
Queen of Pentacles:
Treat yourself. Give yourself everything you have ever wanted, within reason. According to your guides, this is the way you can help your inner child. Bring luxury into your life, spend money on yourself, give yourself a spa day or two. Give yourself what you lacked as a child. Control over your needs and desires being fulfilled.
Lighthouse:
This is the card of not doubting your worth. Your childhood made you think that you were not capable of really anything, and that has really affected your inner child a great deal. The way for you to support your inner child is by believing in yourself, knowing that you truly are worthy of just about anything that you put your mind to.
What does your inner child have to say to you?
The Lovers:
Out of all of the piles here, the love that comes from your inner child is indescribable. Your inner child loves you so very much. It is hard for me to even find the words to describe the amount of love that is coming from them. They are extremely proud of you and everything that you have become. That is really all they want you to know, just how much they love you.
Additional Message:
Before closing out this pile this is what I heard from your inner child, “Thank you for everything. I love you, it’s always been you that was there no matter what.”
Pile Four (Rose Quartz):
How do you see yourself?
Page of Wands:
As a thrill-seeker, you consider yourself someone who enjoys adventures. In your eyes, you are passionate and free-thinking. You enjoy traveling, especially to exotic locations, and you enjoy socializing with other people. Aside from that, you have a very young heart, which makes you extremely optimistic and joyful. According to you, you are a very forgiving person who is willing to overlook red flags, which makes you an excellent friend.
The She-Wolf:
You see yourself as a person who is not only fierce but also has a great inner strength. In your eyes, you are a survivor, having been through so much and surviving it all. Additionally, you are very protective of the people in your life, willing to do whatever it takes to protect them.
How does your inner child see you?
The Magician:
Your inner child sees you as a very quick person. In their eyes, you have great mental agility. You are considered very magical, you have a strong intuition and are an amazing manifestor. You are seen by your inner child as someone who is very eloquent and highly intelligent.
The Magical Girl:
This is interesting to me because the Magician in Tarot is a very magical card, representing having an innate ability to manifest whatever it is you want. The Magician is very magical and in this Oracle deck, the Magical Girl is essentially the Magician. Your inner child defines you as someone with great abilities and someone who has grown so much over the course of their life.
How does your inner child feel currently?
Knight of Swords:
Right now, your inner child is very aggressive. Almost angry, they are restless and destructive. They are irritated and ready to fight. You have been ignoring your inner child for quite some time now, which has really pissed them off. There is strong firey energy here. In astrology, it seems to be more water or air energy rather than fire signs. You might be a Gemini, Libra, Aquarius, Scorpio, Cancer, or Pisces. It feels like strong Scorpio energy.
What did you lack as a child?
Ten of Wands:
There were a lot of burdens placed on you as a child. It feels to me that you lacked a childhood as a kid. You were expected to be strong and mature and not act your age. You were the one who mainly held your family up which is a lot of pressure to put on a child resulting in a lack of innocence and play.
What is something that has left your inner child scarred?
King of Wands:
The King of Wands is a masculine energy consumed with their desires. Pure passion drives them to focus on their career and hobbies. Growing up, you had someone like this in your life. Instead of focusing on you, they focused on their career, making it so you were the one in charge because they were never around.
How does that thing affect your life now?
Death:
Death is the card of transformation, of shedding the old and embracing the new, becoming a new person. You have not been able to let go of your past, holding on to the old which is holding you back from your transformation. You can’t truly grow if you are not willing to let go of some things along the way. Your guides are saying that yes, you had a rough childhood but you have grown up. Now is the time to treat yourself the way you deserved as a kid, instead of maintaining that negative treatment.
What is something that you can do to heal your inner child?
Five of Swords:
You've been struggling for some time now, trying to regain control of your life. Yet, as we have established, the way in which you were battling for control is detrimental to you. According to you, now is the time to act your age and be mature because that is what is best for you. But you are treating yourself the same way that person treated you when you were a kid. By letting go of the idea that you are doing what is right for you, you will be able to heal your inner child. Instead of ignoring your inner child, embrace them.
Thorns:
A good support system is just as important as self-care. The idea that you only need yourself may have led you to go at life alone. Your guides are saying that you can heal your inner child by giving yourself a childhood. Hang out with your friends. Act like a child and have fun since that is what is needed here.
How can you support your inner child?
Ace of Pentacles:
The Ace of Pentacles is all about building a foundation. So, the way for you to support your inner child is by building a solid foundation for you to freely be able to act like a child in your life. You may not feel comfortable doing this in your life right now, but the key to this is building a solid foundation for you to do this. Surround yourself with people that allow you to do this, make your home a safe place, fill it with things that make you comfortable. The key to success here is your own comfort levels.
Confidence:
You also may be lacking the confidence to truly give yourself a break from the hustle and bustle of life and show your inner child. Your guides are saying that you need to build your confidence so you can support your inner child. The key to feeling confident is feeling comfortable. Make sure you are comfortable with the people you surround yourself with and with the things you surround yourself with.
What does your inner child have to say to you?
The Devil:
The Devil is all things passionate and all things taboo. Your inner child tells me that you avoid all these things because they scare you because your childhood lacked fun. You need to embrace some of the things that scare you. Take baby steps towards having fun. Do things you were never allowed to do as a child.
Additional Messages:
While channeling for this pile, I heard "Have fun...let loose...try new things...be brave, little one." I heard the phrase, "Chicken little," but I have no idea what it means. I'm hoping someone can understand what it means.
Though tips are not required, they are very much appreciated. Thank you!
