#tarot journalling

Sometimes it feels like I don’t know how to do the work without making a mockery of it.

I don’t know how to be a better person if it’s not about looking like a better person

Day 1: 31 Day Tarot Challenge #autumntarot

1. As I begin this journey into self, where would it be best serving for me to initially focus my energy?

9 of Pentacles + Queen of Swords (back)

I like how the Queen of Swords showed up, as that’s the card I got for my deck’s personality when I interviewed it.

The efforts I have put in so far will pay off, bringing me confidence and clarity. Notice how the 9 of P is all yellow and the bits of yellow in the Q of S are in her crown and on the foundation of her throne? I interpret this as going confidently forth, using my knowledge and experiences as the foundation and the basis for this journey ahead. I should also watch my words, as words carry a lot of weight. Moreover, I need to work with my intuition more than my rational mind. I should be wary of growing too comfortable and continue to seek out more knowledge to grow as a tarot reader.

month of spreads - day 4

intuitive reading - illusion

This one was hard...

I would say illusion can be a very real and impactful thing. I absolutely believe in a “fake it till you make it” attitude. But even that takes a lot of work (Strength, suit of coins). I have two eights... not sure what to make of that, but i like how the two coins are linked together and the two eights are linked... and Strength in my deck asks you to be persistent and so does the eight of coins, and the three of coins is like, satisfaction and enjoyment of works...

The whole suit of coins in the Raven’s Prophecy deck is about growing roses. And roses are lovely things, although I myself prefer more humble flowers. But there is a strong connotation between roses and the... illusion of names? in literature. “A rose by any other name would smell as sweet”; “Rose is a rose is a rose is a rose”. You can work on illusions - and they can be satisfying - but it won’t change the fact that they are not real.

Making illusions real is taking it a mile further. It needs effort. And that effort is worth taking.

“Once he changed a dead rose into a seed. The unicorn liked that, even though it did turn out to be a radish seed.“ (The Last Unicorn)

Day 2: 31 Day Tarot Challenge #autumntarot

2. What can I expect to creatively manifest within the upcoming days ahead?

9 of Swords and 4 of Pentacles

I've got a serious interpretation, and a funny one. Let's start with the serious one.

Pretty negative reading, but I can't say it doesn't resonate.

The 9 of Swords, like obvious from the picture, is the card of depression, anxiety, and turmoil. My situation right thankfully isn't like, that bad, but it isn't the most optimum either. We moved a few days ago, and the moving process itself was more or less a nightmare. I'm still exhausted, and even though I'm happy outwardly, I have major mood swings.

It's also interesting how the 9 of S showed up today, compared to the 9 of P yesterday. Every wish come true brings new things to worry about.

The back of the deck energy here suggests frugality and conservatism. Exactly what I need I guess. I need to be even more mindful of my energy to avoid manifesting more of that despairing 9 of S energy. Before this energetic block festers even more, I'm gonna start taking it easy.

And now, the funny interpretation: I have manifested headaches and will need to take many Tylenols.

I also need to take better pictures lmao

Day 3: 31 Day Tarot Challenge #autumntarot

3. In order to have prosperity, and a nurturing love for self and others, where should I focus my energy?

Knight of Pentacles and The Hierophant

I need to focus on moving beyond materialism, and connecting with religion and spirituality. To strengthen my connection, I may need to employ offerings to the Gods and prophets of my religion (whom I usually call upon before doing readings), and/or my spirit guides (I get the feeling it’s more of the former).

Also, I watched this PAC on YouTube about who my spirit guide is (or is one of them anyway) and it indicated it was a male energy. I'm an earth sun/rising so I could be the Knight here.

I did a lot of free readings for people over there. It was sort of the journal of teaching myself tarot... and I really enjoyed doing them. The only problem was I'd take the time to do a real, dedicated reading, only asking for feedback in return. Nobody knew how to give feedback and usually wouldn't bother.

The other thing about doing free readings online is that I simply can't have the followup conversation I believe needs to happen when I give you your reading. I remember one person told me in pretty good detail how they didn't resonate with a reading I did, and I would have really loved to continue the consult, draw more cards, explore together what other possibilities we see.

And by "free" -- I do not mean money. Honestly, the BEST repayment for a good reading is a good conversation, good follow-up, and good feedback. The amount of time and energy I put into every reading is pretty ridiculous (actually, I need to find someone to talk to about how to be more efficient with my time).

I would still totally consider offering a couple of readings, but I need to plan that out a little first. And... have some followers.
