Christina Posted June 2, 2025 Posted June 2, 2025 I'm in this week with the Intuitive Night Goddess Tarot and the Universe has Your Back cards 🙂
Bodhiseed Posted June 2, 2025 Posted June 2, 2025 Thank you, dear Fire cat! I'm in with the Idiosyncradeck Tarot paired with the Mixed Emotions cards. Suspicion comes out of the unrenewed mind; discernment comes out of the renewed spirit. ―Joyce Meyer "Don't make any major decisions for a year" is advice often heard in the rooms of recovery. It usually takes that long for the brain to recover and come back online so that we see and understand reality clearly. The Moon suggests a pause as well, either because we are physically exhausted, emotionally drained, or currently in the middle of drama or chaos. Vulnerable suggests we are unprotected because of a lack of discernment. We're not processing information and facts accurately at the moment, and should heed Lao Tzu's question: "Do you have the patience to wait till your mud settles and the water is clear?"
fire cat pickles Posted June 2, 2025 Author Posted June 2, 2025 Welcome back @Christina and @Bodhiseed!
Rachelcat Posted June 2, 2025 Posted June 2, 2025 Hi all! This week I’m going to try a Divining Poets deck without pairing and see if it turns out differently: Divining Poets: Clifton. Lucille Clifton is an American poet who passed in 2010. I’m pretty sure she spoke to my college women’s literature class in 1980. Our professor gave us photocopied samples of her poems to review beforehand. The deck box claims she used a spirit board, and the backs of the cards are an illustration of a hand and planchet. The decoration on the fronts is an illuminated eye. The quotes are shorter than those of the other decks, so we’ll see how that goes too. Interview time! What is your most important characteristic? it is the light in us it is the light of us The deck emphasizes that the magic is in us, not in the cards. And the magic is not something alien lodging in us, it’s a part of and the sum of us. What is your strength? someone calling itself Light has opened my inside. I am flooded with brilliance Well these go together! All one has to do is open to the light and it’s there. Your weakness? the small gatherings gathered in sorrow or joy The deck is more personal, less helpful when talking about groups and others. What can you teach me? some of us know we have never felt safe That’s a hard lesson. I generally feel safe, but others never feel safe, whether it’s real or imagined danger. (It’s probably upbringing. I grew up literally safe but was also 100% convinced that my parents would do absolutely anything for us kids.) I need to recognize that in others and not downplay their feelings because mine are different. How can I learn it? somebody need a map to understand you. Pay attention to the maps. Try to understand even if it’s hard. What will be the outcome of our work together? All ride out on the empty air I have nothing to go on but the “empty air” of words. But I can definitely ride on that!
Natural Mystic Guide Posted June 2, 2025 Posted June 2, 2025 I'm still in with the LeNono Fortune telling cards. HOpefully this week I have time to share my final reading (for now). Next week I shall visit my friend from Australia who gifted me the book and who regularly uses these cards. She prefers these to Tarot. Me? I'm more of an intuitive reader, there's not much here to work with in that regard. It is fun, though.
