Today is about divination and what I need to focus on for the month. I took it a step further and actually paid attention to things that I noticed I do a lot when I read. There isn’t a lot of those but there were a few things I noticed. The reading will be under the cut since this will be pretty long.
1&2: The Fates / Priestess and Priest
I don’t know who to turn to when looking for guidance.
3: Faery Door
I ask because I see a way ahead of me that has been opened.
4: Athame
The past or what is leaving is an assertive force.
5: Earth
Soon will be a time of slow but steady transformation.
6: Astral Body
My gift is the ability to see things from a different perspective.
7: Perfect Love and Perfect Trust
I’m afraid of trusting others and myself.
8: Maiden:
Others see me as energetic and youthful... possibly childish. Funnily enough, this also implies that some seem me as being younger than I am. I imagine this is truer online than in real life, but who knows.
9: Mother: (Book of Shadows)
I need to nurture my path and help it to grow.
10: Chalice
If I take the advice in 9 then I will be more open to growth and my own personal power.
Earth: Mortar and Pestle
The work I do at home needs to take the bits and pieces of my craft and blend them together while still retaining their individuality.
Air: Centers of Power
I need to draw from my power in order to communicate both mundanely and spiritually.
Fire: Oak King
My passion for my craft is high but I need to remember it will wane. It is all a cycle that I must go through.
Water: Yule/Winter Solstice
While it may not seem like it, I can get very emotional over my spirituality.
The theme of this reading is accepting and nurturing my path as it changes.
Okay, here are some things I noticed:
I shuffle and bridge my cards until it feels right. I also don’t interpret cards that fall since it is more likely to happen with how clumsy I am with cards. Those things just go back into the deck somewhere random. When I am laying down cards from the deck, I flip them bottom to top, but if they are already on the table, I flip them right to left. I pretty much always use the same spread as I have found that I can make it very flexible for the reading I want to do.
This is my "Hidden Path" and "Well Worn Path" decks. I combined them and found it works very well for spiritual work. You do need knowledge about holidays and such to use it but I find it to be very accurate.
