I-Ching

[timdrakequotes]

I-Ching: Robin.

Robin: Don’t try to stop me, I-Ching.

I-Ching: You are old enough and wise enough to know your own mind. If indeed this is your own mind.

Robin: What this is…is a chance…to bring back all those people I’ve lost.

I-Ching: By joining forces with Ra’s al Ghul?

Robin: Out of my way!

I-Ching: You are divided.

Robin: Let go.

I-Ching: Your touch betrays the struggle that takes place within you.

Robin: There is no struggle! I’ve made up my mind! I don’t want to hurt you.

I-Ching: To fight you is only to harden your resolve. The superior man must decide for himself which path to take. Go ahead, Robin. I will not try to stop you again.

Nightwing: He might not try to stop you…but I sure as hell will!

Are you considering opening a spiritual business? You have the potential

I do offer tarot and I-Ching readings and have for a while both on Etsy (Hadit93- The Magical Hearth) and via PayPal organised through email: [email protected]. But in truth not many seem to be interested. I am also awful at self-promotion and social media in general. Honestly I don’t know where to start.

I also don’t like charging large amounts of money, but would need to up my prices to make the venture viable. I think because I am so cheap compared to other readers that people assume my readings are not as good. Price reflects worth in their eyes. But this is not the case, I simply don’t think people should be paying stupid amounts for spiritual services.

In fact I have probably done more free readings than I have paid ones!

My dream is to own an occult shop with my own formulas and an array of strange objects and books. Offering tarot readings and other services in a small back room. Alas, I have known many occult shop owners and I know, at least in the UK outside of London, there is not much money to be made. You need a following who are willing to spend money, and I have a little following and few wish to spend money or cannot afford to spend money.

I also urge people who cannot afford to spend money to treat spiritual services as unnecessary luxuries. Food and shelter should always come first and not be sacrificed for anything else.

Throughout history and across various civilizations, names have been believed to hold significant power over individuals.

In ancient Egyptian mythology, gods and goddesses all had true names that they kept secret. It was believed that knowing a deity’s true name granted one the ability to steal their magical powers.

According to Vedic astrology originated in India, naming a child based on the lunar mansion (called “nakshatra”) that the moon was transiting at their birth is considered beneficial. Each lunar mansion consists of four sections, each associated with a particular sound. By choosing a name containing the sound corresponding to the moon’s position at birth, individuals can accelerate the process of burning off their karma.

A name represents a person’s energy, as each sound carries a unique vibrational signature. For example, according to the Seth Material, Seth – an advanced spiritual teacher who existed in another dimension and taught his materials by speaking through American channeler Jane Roberts – used the name Ruburt to address Jane as this name resonated well with her entire being.

Beyond sound, elements and numerology also play a crucial role. In Chinese culture, a name’s quality is assessed using the five elements philosophy and numerology derived from I-Ching. A good name consists of words that align with a person’s elemental needs, and the number of strokes in the name should form harmonious combinations. For example, if a person needs more fire energy in their life, incorporating words associated with fire into their name can bring balance, prosperity and happiness.

Lastly, the meaning behind a name also influences personality and life path. Qualities such as strength and a loving nature, or characteristics of a god, can be bestowed upon an individual through their name.

Ideally, your first name or the name most commonly used to address you should embody aspects of yourself that you consider meaningful and important. If your name does not resonate with you, it may be a sign that it does not accurately reflect your energy and essence, and is time for a name change.

HE’S SORT OF A LOSER...

[bargainbinwizard]

Here’s a question for the ages.

Since we know that scrying is a thing, why are we still using tarot cards or runes or i-ching or any other divination method which is basically making educated guesses on some premade symbols?

With scrying, all you have to do is ask a question and stare at a mirror/crystal until your answer literally appears in front of you. It’s extremely easy to verify whether or not you’re doing it right because you see your results in front of you (unless your scrying mirror likes to give you symbols instead of real images) and you can just go outside and verify your answer. There is no guess work, you just see your answer.

With tarot however, you have to learn every meaning of every card and every placement and study it for a while and even then, it’s still the magical equivalent of making an educated guess because you still genuinely don’t know the answer to your question so you just guess at it and hope you’re right.

Which would you’d rather do?

Study for 4 years so you can literally see the answer to any question (plus cool spirits/deities and the astral plane)

or

Study for 4 years to be able to make the best educated guesses on the planet?

When you use tarot or any other physical oracle, there is only a 99% chance you’ll be right because there will always be that  personal bias based on those feelings or what people call ‘intuition’ when it’s really just opinions based on feelings.

(I still haven’t managed to successfully use the scrying mirror yet because I got too lazy to practice. I should get right back into it though...

I have used tarot/oracle cards myself but only because I can’t hear the voices of my spirits so I attempt to channel their messages through the cards.)

Harry leaked to the Tatler (allegedly): my I Ching reading

Hi Empress, I’m the I Ching anon. I’ll try to detail my reading on the Tatler leaks for you. Bear in mind this is all alleged for entertainment purposes only. Also, I’m an amateur & this will go all over the place so, apologies. By the way, I Ching uses lots of royal imagery, which is super helpful when reading about the BRF! This was one of several readings I did:

Why did the Cambridges issue the retraction request to Tatler?(Hexagram 14, line 3; change to Hexagram 38, line 3)

The Cambridges’ reason for the retraction is related to *someone* getting lots of wealth and resources; the sort of resources that must be shared and not hoarded for oneself. This *someone* also bears the expectation of behaving properly (Hex.14). In particular, this person is like a Duke (!) who has received wealth from the King (!) and has a duty to be loyal and obedient. This person appears to have abandoned their duty to the king and turned selfish to please only themselves (changing line 3).

The hexagram implies that the Harry is the reason for the retraction request. In particular, the Cambridges feel like Harry (the duke) has been given so much by Charles (the king), that he needs to start paying back, but he has instead become really selfish. And that is why the Cambridges have done this: to counter Harry’s selfish behaviour.

The likely outcome of this retraction request (Hex 38) is that there is serious alienation and estrangement. The Cambridges and Harry will continue moving apart. Particularly, this incident will cause major obstacles for Harry if he tries to reconcile with the BRF. Also, as a result of all this, Harry will be marked as a villain or traitor to the Cambridges (line 3).

I suspect the Cambridges are angrier at Harry than they ever let on. The reading also suggests there is a strong personal element to this retraction request. They are punishing Harry with it. Allegedly.

This is already pretty long so I’ll stop here. I’ll submit the other readings if you are interested. But this was the most important one. Hope you find it interesting!

Thank you I-Ching Anon! This is quite a reading! I appreciate that how clear the message from the divination tool is. And how cool is it that you use I-Ching with royal imagery, I had no idea that was even an option. I can completely understand the Cambridges anger with Harry, he has enabled, allowed, encouraged everything that has transpired over the last three years.

I have a suggestion for a future reading if you so please “What does the summer hold for the Harkles”. Thank you again.
