Hi Jasper, it’s NJ again (they/them.) Could I please ask for a reading about a spirit I asked about before I call “S?” (he/him) I was told by another reader that we had friendly energy between us but we’ve grown apart, so could you please check to see if I could start up a friendly connection between us again? Thank you!

Hello again NJ, let me preface this with a regular reminder:

I am not good at entity-related readings. This is why I do not normally offer them.

I am also going to rephrase this question into something actionable, which is How can NJ start up a friendly connection with S again? - That way it actually gives you something actionable to work with. For this reading, I am using the Hemiptarot by Ladybeadle Works, my newest deck, and it has given you the Six of Pentacles upright.

This is a card about charity, giving freely to others, and letting people share in your fortune. While the Pentacles are associated with Earth and the material world, it's about all forms of abundance and prosperity. It's embodied in this deck in the spots of a ladybug, which is a symbol of good luck. This is about the home, food, work, money, and possessions alongside physical health and one's connection to their own body and the Earth. Being a Six, it also comes after the backslide that is the Five, meaning that while things have been difficult, you're past the worst of it and can move forward more consistently again.

The way I see it is that this is telling you to reach out to S yourself and do nice things for him without the expectation of reward. If you've seen something you think he would like or have made something for him, go ahead and give it. You have to initiate the reconnection.

I hope this helps, NJ! If you feel so inclined, please feel free to send feedback in my ask box, leave feedback in a reblog of this reading, and/or reblog my reading guidelines!

Hi again, it’s Brambles, thank you so much for the reading about S! This does track with my understanding of the situation, and I’m glad to know it’s stable. Thanks again!

Hey, thank you so much for the feedback! I hope things go well for you going forward.

Hi Jasper, it’s Brambles (they/them) again. Thank you for your last reading you did for me about my relationship with the entity I was curious about, but as you know I wanted to know more about my relationship with the entity I called “S” (he/him) I had a change of heart about that, but if I could please ask another question about “S” could you please check to see if he will be safe and well? We seem to have communicated in the past, but I’m not sure if we have a relationship beyond that. I just wanted to know how he was doing. If you’re willing and able to answer this, then I’d really appreciate it!

Hello Brambles, thank you so much for your patience on this reading while I got back into the swing of tarot reading after my hiatus, and thank you for resending the question and information more in accordance to my guidelines. I would like to preface this once more with the fact that I am not good at these sorts of readings, so there is a higher chance that I am off somehow. Having said that, I picked out the Tarot of Bones by Lupa Greenwolf for this reading, and drew the Queen of Pentacles upright and the World reversed.

The Pentacles are the suit of vertebrae in this deck. The Queen, an opossum skull, rules it among a border of moss and birch cones. This is a card indicating someone working hard to make ends meet and put in the work. They do their job and bring home the bacon, handle caring for those who rely on them, and lead by example. This is a card about grounding - not the kind of grounding where your parents take away your phone, but rather the sort that tells you to settle down and focus. It's a sign to work through whatever has you in a tizzy and calm down, taking your own practical steps to deal with whatever's got you nervous.

The World depicts a (replica) hawksbill sea turtle shell in the center of a circle of seaweed. Four stones bearing elemental sigils sit in the corners. When it's topsy-turvy and reversed like this, it's an indication of being set in one's ways to their own detriment. Sometimes the biggest obstacle to completing something is you getting in your own damn way, you know? Sometimes that refusal to move on shoots you in the foot. Something needs to be dealt with.

Hm. There are a couple different ways to read all of this. Let's go over a few, shall we?

This reading could be a check-up for S indicating his current status: busy and moved on, regardless of whatever interactions you two had before. Possibly involving him working on a personal project that leaves him without time to interact.

This reading could be a message to you, asking you to take the step first towards S to reconnect and talk. Just the two of you, potentially. Nothing wrong with the reminder that you can move yourself across the great chess board of life.

This reading could be asking you to look at the other relationships you have with various spirits and checking to see if you have the time, energy, and resources for balancing another if you were to reconnect with S at this point.

This reading could just be completely off. I'm not exactly a mind reader nor am I a spirit detective of any sort, so I'm kind of relying on my tarot deck to haul most of the load here.

And, hell, there are probably more. I'm just here to give you the cards, I don't know enough about your situation to say for sure which one it is. I just hope that this has helped somehow. I wish you the best, Brambles! Good luck with whatever route you go down!

Hi again, it’s Brambles. Thank you for your reading, even though you said spirit readings weren’t really your thing, but I didn’t know what to make of it at all… Thank you so much for trying though, it means a lot to me. Have a great day!

Aw, sorry to hear that the reading didn't help much. I wish you luck with whatever happens between you and Z!

Hi Jasper, it’s Brambles (they/them). How are you? Could I please have a reading about a being I’ll call Z (they/them maybe because I’m not sure myself) I reached out to them a while ago, and I believe I received a response. Is there any way you could please give some insight on what the response entailed, because I’m not 100% sure. I’d appreciate it a lot, thank you for your time!

Hi again, I forgot to mention that Z seems to be a representative of a nation of spirits, I believe. Sorry I forgot to say that, thanks again.

Alright, I'm absolute shit at spirit-related readings, but I already told you that in DMs, so...one-card reading, let's fucking go. The deck for this reading is the Wild Mystic Oracle by Anastasia Catris, and your card is Moth (Death) upright.

[No picture because signal bad.]

The word "death" usually causes discomfort, because...shit, buddy, death usually does. In the natural world, death happens all the time, and it's important as the lead up to both rebirth and to decay. This is a card of not just physical death, but also the symbolic death that signifies the end of something that leads into something else.

Moths are always seeking out the light, even though we associate them most with the night. There's a secondary theme of hope and happiness in the face of life-changing events or endings and the new beginning that comes afterwards. It encourages you to let go of old thoughts, traumas, and anxieties, though that's always easier said than done.

This card associates moths with the following:

Element: Air, Spirit

Flora: alder, bluebell, cypress, elder, willow

Stones: chiastolite, amethyst, hyalite

Spellwork: Samhain/Halloween rituals, funereal blessings, ancestor work, speaking to those beyond the veil, blessing a new beginning after a big life change, and dealing with grief

I have no idea what your initial message from Z was, so I had to read blind. I hope this reading has helped in some way! If you feel so inclined, please feel free to send feedback in my ask box, leave feedback in a reblog of this reading, and/or reblog my reading guidelines!
