PAC: What part of you requires some introspection this summer? ⛱️
Pick a pile reading: What aspect of yourself or your life needs some thinking over? What questions should you be asking yourself this summer to get to know yourself better?
Pile 1-3, left to right
Pick the picture you feel most drawn to. If you feel drawn to more than one of them, you can read the interpretation to multiple piles.
Disclaimer: All my readings contain themes of mental and emotional struggles and pains as they strive to comfort those. I don't intend on rubbing you the wrong way and I'm doing this with the hope I can help people feel better, but if it doesn't work I might just not be the right person to comfort you.
Disclaimer: I'm not a mental health professional in any way. Although my tarot readings focus on giving emotional and mental reassurance, I can only give you as much as a friend could give you - encouraging words, friendly advice, a shoulder to cry on or a metaphorical hug. Please take in the information responsibly, and if your mental health is greatly affecting your day to day functions, please consider looking for a professional if possible. I'm afraid I can't be more than a tarot-enthusiastic friend.
Take what resonates and leave what doesn't. Take care of yourselves and remember hope is your best friend. 🖤
Pile 1 - VIII of Pentacles, Four of Wands, Knight of Swords, Balsamic Moon
Who do I dream of becoming?
The key elements in your reading are your dreams and hard work.
It seems like you have a very clear idea of how your ideal life would look like, and it's beautiful. So beautiful in fact, that the cards depict a twirling dance, gracious and romantic. There is a version of you that you have fallen in love with, but I fear you think it's unreachable. You might have put some work into it already, into reaching your goals, and yet you still feel far away from what you want to achieve. But do not rush.
No big dream in life is easily accessible to grab. They require patience and perseverance, and a lot of obstacles must be overcome before you can finally feel you've gotten everything you ever wanted. The key here is, you must avoid self-sabotage. Perhaps you are insecure, or you lack self-belief, or you get easily discouraged. Know that failure is only the path to success, so look into the lesson you can learn from your mistakes, instead of letting them consume you. Look ahead to the future fully, and break down the demons in your head into tiny little digestible pieces. Identify all of your obstacles, the things (or people) that might stand in-between you and the version of you you dream of. Think of ways you can solve these obstacles, one by one, slowly and surely. Go into the smallest of details when you question what is stopping you, where exactly you stand right now, and everything you want to achieve. Plan and be meticulous.
The balsamic moon gives the advice that, in order to become this dream version of yourself, you must first let go of all the limitations you've put onto yourself, taken from the past you've lived. Your past circumstances should not define you anymore, and you must allow yourself to change and live as though you are truly reborn into the person you want to be. 💚
Pile 2 - The Lovers R, Knight of Wands, Balsamic Moon
Who am I becoming?
The key elements in your reading are self-image and transformations.
It seems that for a very long time, you thought you knew exactly who you were and what you needed. You didn't feel much need to change the way you were doing things, and you were wearing your own personal colors permanently, and they were painting a self image of you. And lately, there's new colors on the canvas. And you don't know what to do with them. It is almost like discovering there's a whole another person living in your body, a strange experience of newly acquired self-knowledge. This can be uncomfortable, but know we as people are always expanding. Whether you are changing for good or for bad (this is also subjective) it is something you must embrace and address. If you fear you are turning into an unknown, malefic force, figure out what is making you act this way, and face the demon in the mirror. There's darkness in all of us, and we're allowed to be imperfect, but we must not let it consume us. Tell the darkness you see it, you acknowledge it and you'll work hard to heal it so that it doesn't burst out again. If you feel you're turning into something unfamiliar and strange, but not exactly bad, you must address what it brings into your life. Perhaps it's a change you needed. Perhaps you're on your path to growth, and that's always confusing.
All in all, do not resist strangeness and changes in yourself - instead, identify these changes, welcome them in, and let them talk to you. Let them tell you what they need from you, what presents they bring, or what old beliefs they want to replace. The balsamic moon gives the advice that you should be open to change, for that's what defines the future moment. The past cannot change, it is merely a limitation. Do not limit yourself, and instead let the future gently sway you. 💛
Pile 3 - Ace of Cups, Knight of Wands, New Moon
Why am I afraid of saying yes?
The key elements of your reading are self-love and opportunities.
I feel like you are in a very strange situation of almost… procrastinating self-love. You know you deserve more, but you cannot bring yourself to accept it. But deep inside, you know.
Deep inside you know you bring beautiful things into the world. Deep inside you know your quirks are not negative as you see them. Deep inside I think you know you deserve all the love in the world. You simply must accept it, so that you can finally let yourself receive all the beautiful things you've been denying yourself of having. I fear what is keeping you stuck is heavy and tangled, binding you to this version of yourself that is afraid to ask for more. These binds must be untangled. Try to think why you are denying all the blessings - what makes you believe all of these negative things about yourself? Once you find the cause, ask yourself if that situation is, in fact, still relevant to the person you are today. Once you let go of your old belief systems, you can finally be free. And if the fear of change is strong, or you cannot let go of your beliefs, ask yourself: what is the worst thing that could happen if I love myself a bit today? Who's stopping me from doing that?
The new moon gives the advice that the hardest part of everything is always the start. However, once you begin to allow a little kindness, a little love to grace you, things will slowly become less and less uncomfortable. Baby steps can take you a long way. It is time you allow your life to become beautiful. 💙
I hope this reading was useful to you!
Please consider leaving some feedback so I know if my readings resonate well. 🖤
While introspection is hugely important for self development, do not forget having fun is just as important for the mental health! So go have fun this summer 😉
If you enjoy my work, please consider buying me a Ko-Fi.
We all expect to be able to turn on a tap and receive fresh drinking water but in the past things were not so simple. Most sources of water were dirty and polluted. The rich could afford to drink beer or mead which was safe but those less fortunate suffered badly from contaminated water sources.
So any natural clean water spring was venerated and usually became linked to a deity. In the UK this was typically one of the following Celtic deities;
Grannus - God of springs
Icovellauna - Goddess of sacred waters
Sirona - Goddess of healing springs
Sulis - my local goddess of healing springs.
Some areas were blessed with an abundance of springs like Derbyshire where each year people still give thanks to the spirits of the wells with a traditional pagan well blessing ceremony.
The well of stars
My local goddess spring is fairly unknown and possible the most mystical spring in the country. It is known as the Holy Well but also has the more appropriate name "Star well, The well of stars". After a full moon the spring releases tiny fossilised stars out with the water. For generations people have visited the well for its incredible healing waters and to collect the lucky charms it delivers.
We know today that the stars are fossilised plant like sea creatures known as “Crinoids” that are trapped in the bedrock, as the water erodes the surrounding rock they are released, the full moon causes a surge of water pushing them to the surface, but even knowing how, doesn't make it any less magical.
Up close you can see how they are related to Starfish
Witches have always been drawn to the well, after all what which wouldn’t want a stone pentagram delivered after the full moon from a magical spring that’s been venerated for thousands of years. As a water witch the Idea that they are related to starfish made them a must for my Altar. The crystal clear waters are also quite powerful for spell work.
Local legends say that on the full moon the water nymphs and fairies come out the well and sing to natures tune, but hide quickly if they sense a human to avoid getting caught. It’s stories like this and the knowledge that it sits on a fault line that have made it some important for some local witches practice.
Hello! I am Lee, a wellness tarot reader. That means I like doing tarot readings based on self-development, emotional comfort, self-care, healing and introspection. It’s therapy oriented and supposed to help people feel better.
I am opening up 10 slots for this ask game, it is unfortunately first come, first served. If you don’t make it this time there will be a next time.
The question for this ask game that I will be doing a reading on is:
What comforting words do I need to hear right now?
Participation rules:
I am going to be answering the given question and no other. I will pull as many cards as needed.
Understand the readings will not really be completed on the spot or within the same day. I like to take my time with them, so it could take me a few days to complete them all.
Go read my blog introduction and my disclaimers very carefully. At the beginning of your ask, put a star emoji so I can see you have read the introduction & disclaimers.
I will need to somehow identify you and connect with your energy. For that I ask:
Your zodiac sign (sun and moon sign would be best, if you know them.)
A name, nickname, alias, initial, something to call you by
Tidbits of information about you. Nothing too revealing, maybe like your favorite color, emoji, hobby, food, animal etc or just anything you wanna tell me about you so I can grasp a bit of who you are.
Any ask that doesn’t abide by these rules will be deleted.
