Tarot for self care and self exploration. A place to learn, develop and explore tarot.
I let the chalice guide my heart, I drink from it, I embrace this part:
Card: Seven of Cups Rx: My inability to remember things, my flitting from topic to topic, and fixations that constantly change. The distracted parts of myself. The bits that feel like I have no choice.

I swing my wand intentionally, how can I conjure what I may need?
Card: 6 of wands: Through victory in battle, by winning the little wars I can and in celebrating my little victories every day.

The blade it cuts what’s rooted deep, what am I to shed, what am I to keep?
Shed: two of swords: The feeling that I must decide and it’s up to me and only me. The choices are only on my shoulders- this isn’t right. It takes more than just me.
Keep 5 of swords Rx: Reconciliation and compromise, keeping promises and seeking to fulfil what needs to be. Ensuring I get what’s mine, and it isn’t taken away from me.

What I’m most looking forward to Autumn bringing:
Cards: Ace of Rods, The Empress Rx, and 8 of Pentacles RX.
I’m looking forward to a spark of new opportunity that will help me to move past this feeling that I’m stuck in a rut, with a dead-end job that doesn’t seem to give me what I need in life to be happy.

As the universe, so the soul, how can I let my magick flow?
Card: King of Pentacles Rx: I need to release the pressure of feeling like I need to be stable and in control, that I need to be master of my space, and domain, and allow myself to let others take control when appropriate. I need to let go of worries about stability and money.

Omens, signs, symbology, what do I follow, what do I heed?
Follow: The Star. New opportunities, rejuvenation, hope, the things that make me feel like life is worth living.
Head: The Tower (always, bb). Total destruction, serving things that don’t work, burning bridges and setting fire to the world as I know it.

From today until Samhain, how or where should I begin?
Cards: 5 of swords Rx, and The Salamander and Black Pepper (Inspiration)
I should let go of old ideas that haven’t served me and are just taking time away from what I need to be getting on with. I should look towards reconciling with my inner child, encouraging my freedom of thought and finding a way to broker peace with how I’ve treated and neglected my own creativity.

As above, so below, what will this path reap or sow:
Card: This path will either take away my worries and concerns about financial stability or make these concerns even worse (though if I’m going with the flow, hopefully not), so perhaps I’ll learn how to budget better and be better with the wealth I do accumulate.

The Blessing of Dionysus: What blessing and message does Dionysus send you at the end of this challenge?
Card: 8 of swords: Don’t allow yourself to be imprisoned by anyone, yourself included. You are able to break through whatever you think has confined you, and the swords are yours to take. Just allow yourself to open up to what there is out there.
A negative card usually, but here, I’ve seen it as a blessing, not a condemnation. 🙂

The Inner God: Which part of yourself would you like to recognize and strengthen more?
Card: 8 of pentacles reversed: My work ethic- strengthening for sure but maybe also turning it more to working for me and not so much for others. Finding a balance in appreciating the work that I have done, whether others recognize it or not.

What have you learned from the Dionysian mysteries? How can you apply these teachings in your daily life?
Cards: The Moon Rx, Temperance, ten of cups
I’ve removed some of the illusions in my life and begun to see things as they are. I can continue to do this to see balance and to bring balance into my life. Bringing happiness into my home and into my life through connections will help me to keep these lessons in my life
These are a nice set of cards to put together- the amount of water we can see throughout really makes me think this is also about emotions- emotional balance, emotional confusion/camouflage, complete happiness and still emotions.

What aspects of yourself or your life have been transformed since starting this challenge?
Card: King of cups Rx: I’ve started to emotionally come out of my shell and have moved away from colder feelings of resentment that have manipulated me in the past. I feel like this is particularly true today, as I’m writing this. I’ve felt a little beleaguered by some of the work interactions I’ve had to face and go through recently. Simple things like personality clashes, and concerns with people being happy with what I’ve done. This has caused me to feel resentment towards other people when really that wasn’t something incredibly necessary.
I’m starting a new job in a month. It’s something very different to what I’ve been doing for the last decade and I’m both excited and nervous, but hopeful for what might come!

Day 24: The Daze- What forms of ecstasy can you find outside of traditional means?
Card: None of these cards make me feel ecstasy. Not a one of them. Maybe the Knight. That’s it.
King of Pentacles RX, Knight of Swords, 4 of swords reversed.
I can find ecstasy by no longer giving a sh!t about what others think and run, headlong into all of the things that I can fit into a day before collapsing into a heap on the floor out of pure and utter exhaustion. I mean… maybe?
That knight of swords keeps following me- I’ve got a new stalker card. Why can’t I ever have the 10 of pentacles stalking me, eh?
Happy Readings! 💛💛💛

Day 16: The Wise Guide – What message does Dionysus have for you right now?
Card: 8 of swords Rx: Surrender to the scary things because freaking out about them and stabbing yourself with anxiety isn’t going to fix anything at all. Have faith in what’s to come.
Deck used: Le Tarot Vert. Excellent representation of bodies, genders, and figures. Beautiful artwork, though monochromatic so if you struggle to read cards without lots of colours, you may have a hard time with this one. The artwork is absolutely stunning, the Canadian creator has included a bilingual (English and French) guidebook and the quality of these cards? Absolutely stunning. Buy it. Buy it now.
Happy Readings! 💛💛💛
