What are your hidden powers?
For today’s reading I’ll be using a deck with brazilian divine beings, they’re called Orixás, you’re all welcome to know these gods. This is a collective reading, so just take what resonates.
Pile 1 - Tiger's eye Pile 2 - Moonstone Pile 3 - Blue Agate
Pile 1
Nine of Wands, The Judgement
Ogum
You have the power to survive the cold, I feel high perseverance, a warm heart and great courage. I see a reindeer(deers are also relevant, but because reindeers survive in the cold and I also saw antlers, I thought reindeers make more sense, but take what resonates). It feels like royalty, this group has a certain ease to lead. Wisdom. You might be a loner, didn't find your people yet, still figuring it out, but we both know that you’ll definitely succeed. Don’t worry too much if you’re right or wrong in your path, walk through it with your heart and you’ll find out what’s right for you. You don’t seem to be frightened by the future, but you seem to be tired of being so perseverant. You might ask yourself if there’s more of life than just fighting battles.
The reindeer’s antlers are like a crown and are also a manifestation of wisdom, for me it looks like a tree’s root, but growing upwards as a crown, the fact that it comes out of their head and it’s a bone structure seems to be a sign of sagacity and experience. They’re also mammals, they have warm hearts and survive cold environments.
Aries, Leo or Sagittarius. Your hidden powers might not be that hidden lol. Everything that’s connected to fire always erupts in a way or another, don’t try to hide that away. There’s intelligence here for sure and great personalities, you’re here to accomplish great things and do great things, no matter how small your step is right now, in the future, things will have grown so much you won’t even notice. You have the hidden power to end cycles, to know and to spread the truth, your path is important to be walked, don’t hide away, you’re supposed to face it, you have the capacity to face it. People will be grateful for you, you’ll help many people doing the things you are meant to do.
War is a theme here, but as I said, you might ask yourself when will life stop tasting like a fight, a battle. This is definitely to be healed, but war might have taught you to not give up and to not abandon yourself. Meditate upon this. I heard something about “you’re fighting the wrong battle”, this fire you hold is being put in the wrong direction, you are supposed to use your wisdom and know where to put your sacred energy.
Ogum, in Brazil, is a divine being that’s related to war and iron. He’s a very fiery God, needs constant movement, he opens the way and leads people so they can walk through it. He’s strong and fierce. There’s an energy here about building things out of nowhere, a great hidden power also related to perseverance; from where people least expect, something big and powerful can arise.
Pile 2
The Knight of Swords, Two of Swords, The Star
Logun Edé
Water, waterfalls, flowers, femininity. The night time, the moon. This is my psychic pile, girly girls who are probably Cancers or have prominent Cancer in their natal chart. Delicate and soft, so fragile. There it is, your hidden power is being vulnerable to your feelings and respecting your emotions, your fantasies and dreams. It feels like a “silent” power, the opposite of Pile 1, which is a more obvious and aggressive manifestation of it. For Pile 2 people here are dreamy and just so cute, like a disney princess or something, talking to nature and animals, the world feels magical, full of mysteries to be uncovered.
I saw in the cards something about divorced parents, as if all this chaos resulted in you, as a child, having to forget everything that was going on in the external world and creating this dreamy personality(a certain appeal to illusions in the negative way). This pile is also screaming to me how our biggest wounds can also be our biggest powers(that when we heal them properly). People here could also be ignoring some situations, maybe their feelings, because they’re afraid of how big these emotions are. Take some quiet time to just feel it, they won’t hurt, they’re just feelings. Air and Water are very present, see how similar they can be, these elements are free, we can’t lock it, we can’t have it just for us, they're supposed to flow freely, with no attachments; now, you can apply the same perspective to your emotional field. It’s free to flow, no judgments, no limits.
Logun Edé follows the same nature, they don’t seem to have a gender, some stories tell they flow from gender to another. Another hidden power of yours must be flexibility. Logun is also ruled by water, they rule prosperity, wealth and beauty. Balance. They’re hunters in the forest, they carry a bow and arrow; with the swords cards there’s a suggestion of fierceness, standing to one’s self. Highly intuitive. You might have a connection to seahorses.
Pile 3
The Magician, Seven of Wands, Page of Swords
Iansã
The way you use your words. Speech. Witty. Practicality. You know words hold magic, “in the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God." It seems that you know how to come up with some good arguments in a discussion or maybe you are not aware of that yet. It’s easy for you to play with your imagination and in a way you know that “playing” with these scenarios will bring them into reality. You like things fast and in your way. There’s also a connection with scents in here, you might like perfumes, things that smell good and a very sensitive nose. I’m getting people from this pile have a big personality, like their opinion might have some weight, might be important in a way for a group of people or maybe you have an “influencer” personality, people around you take your opinions as something important.
Because of how much people care with your opinions, you probably are in a high place in your life, this is not necessarily about work, there’s just this thing of being “big” and important. You probably are in a high spiritual level of consciousness, the Magician card is giving this confirmation, you know something most people don’t…
You might not have much tolerance, because you always want things in your way and usually people are a distraction for your plans, so you prefer doing things alone. Very independent.
Iansã is a boss bitch, she’s the type of woman that prefers to conquer her stuff, her house and money. She works really hard. It’s said that she rules storms, lightning and the winds, a pretty seductive woman. If I were to describe her energy I would probably say she’s an Aries woman. Have you seen Lady Gaga? Unstoppable. She’s eager to conquer everything she desires.
