Monthly Challenge: Lionharts’ WanderLust: Massive Catch up Days 20-24

On By HeatherIn Monthly challengeLeave a comment

Hahahaha whoops.

Listen. Listen. Listen. I used to be a blogger, alright? Back when I was in university, and in high school- when I was in my early 20s and the internet was still a fresh young beast. I was a blogger extraordinaire! I’d write multiple posts a day, and they would be so chaotic, ridiculous, awesome, unfiltered and so… cringe. But, I’d write! I would be writing! These days, I’m lucky if I wash my hair correctly every other day. Keeping up with multiple blogs? Impossible. So you’ll have to forgive my lapses. They will be often. They will be long. But hopefully, they will not be forever 🙂

So let’s get crackin’ then shall we?

Day 20: What can I learn from the wind,, the sky or the air element right now?

Card: The Magician Rx: I learn to take control of the things around me, push forward with power- something I’m lacking at the moment. I can tap into my intuition, see where my power can reach to, and see where it fails.

Day 21: How can I harness the warmth around me to fuel my inner fire?

Card: Guardian of Swords (Queen of Swords) Rx: It’s ok to be emotional- to get upset- to burn brighter and stronger at the things that are unfair in the world. I need to take care not to let the fire consume me, and overwhelm me.

Day 22: How can I use nature as a source of creative inspiration?

Card: 5 of Wands: I can use nature to unravel the anger and resentment coiled away inside of me. The inner battle that rages between making money, making others happy, and making myself happy can be fought and soothed through nature.

Day 23: What should I let flow in? What should I let flow away?

Cards: Flow in: 9 of pentacles Rx, Flow out: Greed (the Devil):

Embrace what I’m worth, I am enough, and I need to recognize it. Let go of overindulgence, hanging onto things I don’t need, and desiring more and more.

Day 24: Where should I give myself freedom?

Card: 3 of swords Rx: Give me the freedom to forgive maybe? To let go of any pain I’m carrying and give myself some kindness- the kind of kindness I give to others but not myself.

The deck used is the Tarot for all ages- a cute one though sometimes tricky to read as the court cards are a bit different and some of the major Arcana are renamed, but it’s a good deck!

Happy Readings 💛💛

Monthly Challenge: Lionharts WanderLust: Day 15

Day 15: What can I do today to connect with my inner childlike wonder and curiosity?

Card: Ten of Swords

I should sit with the pain of the past and the present before I try to move past it. I’ve been working on the whole ‘feel your feelings’ thing- I know it sounds silly but I’m one of those people who kind of logics their feelings into submission, but it doesn’t actually help me get past the feelings. I just psychoanalyze them and still feel shitty. Maybe this is a call to stop doing that, and sit with the pain.

Deck used: I’m pretty sure this is a bootlegged version of the Spacious Tarot. It was given to me by a friend who thought it would be a nifty gift, and it is- I like it a lot, but it’s got a real aliexpress-ness about it. The biggest issue with these kinds of decks is that the creator makes no money from them. If it’s an indie creator who you want to see profit from their work, you should do what you can to purchase from them authentically. That being said, your classic RWS, old-fashioned tarot decks are (I’m pretty sure but don’t quote me) within the public realm now- or they should be. I don’t think there’s anything wrong with finding affordable tarot options 🙂 Some decks will run you 150 bucks plus shipping, and if you want to use tarot as a self reflection tool, you shouldn’t be limited to only super pricey decks.

What do you think?

Happy Readings 💛💛

Monthly Challenge: Lionharts WanderLust: Day 13

On By HeatherIn Monthly challengeLeave a comment

I’ve spent the whole day writing an essay that I feel is way too broad and doesn’t make any sense so I’m juuuuust about typed out but here we go!

Day 13: Where can I use a sense of playfulness and curiosity in my approach to life?

Card: 10 of Swords.

I need to be more vulnerable- I need to take on curiosity into painful endings, betrayal, loss and pain generally. I need to take the pain of the past with a lighter heart and a sense that I’ve moved passed it- I’m in a different place, I’ve grown, I’ve developed. I can explore them and look into why they came about and what I can learn about them- or I can let them move along and leave me be.

Deck used here: This Might Hurt.

Tell me what you think in the comments!

Happy Readings 💛💛
