Eight of Pentacles and Five of Wands

Today you are reminded that you're very productive working by yourself, but have a terrible time getting anything done in a group.

Five of Wands was my first card for @dptarotproject! It was the one card I really really wanted 👀 I would have happily done any of the other ones too, but this was definitely the one that caught my eye in the card topic list!

Here are some process pictures:

It was super interesting to see what I can do if I take my time with something and put my all into it. I'm genuinely very proud of this 💜

Five of Wands: Covention Duel!

Upright: Conflict, competition, rivalry, disagreements, tension, arguments, difference of opinion, clashing ideals

Reversed: Avoiding conflict, mutual understanding, peace, cooperation, truces, healthy competition, release of tension

The Five of Wands is the card of conflict, clashes, and competition. It could signify a literal physical fight (like the duels between Lilith and Eda or Luz and Amity), or more internal conflicts like differing worldviews or clashing priorities. In Lilith and Eda's case, their conflict derives from their opposing lifestyles and beliefs about magic and social systems; Eda practices wild magic and refuses to conform and join a single coven, while Lilith upholds and enforces the coven system and strives to get Eda to join her side by any means necessary. Their rivalry also stems from disparities of raw magical talent between them. Luz and Amity also show clashing priorities in this episode: Amity's diligence improving her Abomination magic to maintain superiority versus Luz learning magic from scratch to protect her loved ones.

When reversed, the Five of Wands symbolizes an end to a conflict, often through clear communication and trying to understand differing opinions. After their botched duel, Luz and Amity communicate their motivations and admit their failings in behavior towards the other. They both recognize a bit of themselves in each other, and are able to come to a mutual understanding and make a tentative peace—the first brick in the foundation of their relationship.

I never properly posted my contribution to the @narutarotproject! This picture is from around a year ago, it’s interesting to see how much my art has changed since then.

I got the pleasure to be part of the team that made this project a reality. What started as me fangirling on the side ended in a tight knit little community where I was able to paint 2 of the cards.

I was in charge of the design for the Back of the Cards and the Five of Wands!

The Five of Wands is a card about conflict, competition ,and rivalry so I painted Daniel!!

The realism got very side tracked by my demand for more glow but I don't totally hate it. It fought me a good but I wrangled it back into position ahah

And for the Back of the Cards, I just wanted to highlight the ribbon of fate and the mix of their respective differences. I went a bit more traditional since my fave part of cards is always the classy blues and golds.

Anyways, if you want to see what everyone else created then keep an eye out on the official account @dbh-tarot !! I'm personally making sure to also follow the IG and twitter!

I really love the vibe these cards have and every single artist is mad talented!!!

A gif of the progress. Ignore the part where I mis read wands as swords and it took very funky turn ahah. I'll upload the back of cards speedpaint later as I did it all in procreate where this one I jumped between procreate and sai leaving it very chunky

My creativity sometimes works like a glass ketchup bottle, sorry.

Also, this isn’t my first try designing a tarot deck and it always feels like whatever card I’m working on influences my life.

The kind, gentle approach isn't working, and you're about to start walloping things with sticks.

Tarot Card of the Day

Five of Wands (Minor Arcana)

Tensions are high,and you're in the midst of a conflict, competition, or change that is impacting your ability to move forward.You and the others involved are unable to find common ground. Everyone is fighting to be heard, and yet no one is listening. Calm your storm and listen to what the others have to say, even though it may not be easy to do. Try to be open and encourage productivity.

Pick a flower: For your May

Happy May everyone! I hope it is warm and sunshiney where you are. Wisconsin is a beautiful 63 and sunny!

As I like to do with a new months, we're looking at three questions:

What do you need to leave behind in April?

What obstacles might May bring?

What can you bring with you into May?

Then I have a theme/word corresponding to your month.

Pick a flower from above and find your group below

Group 1: Nurturing Practicality (Queen of Pentacles)

What do you need to leave in April? Three of Wands rev.

Leave behind your comfort zone. You played it safe in April, thinking you didn’t have what it takes to accomplish your goals/dreams. There could have some some delays that occurred and maybe those seemed like “a sign” to not go for it. Signs can be confusing! But this is a new sign to let you know to keep going when you know it’s what you want.

What obstacles might May bring? Knight of Cups rev.

With that in mind, you may find yourself overdoing it in May. Find a balance for yourself. What pushes you juuust enough out of your comfort zone without it being a complete 180? Or, before you act, create a vision for yourself on how you want it to play out. Perhaps start with writing & drawing your biggest hopes out of the situation. Then look at it objectively and see what is realistic. Maybe you can’t spend thousands of dollars to fly to Paris and explore fashion. But, can you go to boutiques in your hometown and see what beautiful items are right in your back yard? Inspiration can be found in a lot of places.   

What can you bring into May? Queen of Swords & Nine of Wands

As you enter May, enter with courage and unbiased judgement. These cards (all of them!) are screaming “TRUST YOUR ABILITIES!” I know that you’re scared, but you really can do it. There are things about yourself that you haven’t even discovered yet. Having the courage to pursue the scary things is going to be so worth it. If there is anyone in your life who is making you feel badly about the decisions you’re making, this is your sign that setting boundaries with them is GOOD. Even if they are someone you love and appreciate, you are allowed to set boundaries. (Boundaries also take courage and are a form of self-love).

Group 2: Possibilities (Page of Cups)

What do you need to leave in April? Three of Swords

I have this feeling of overwhelming sadness and disappointment. You’re grieving something. I am not going to tell you to stop grieving, because grief is a process, but what I do think you should try to leave behind is the idea that it never gets better. It is hard to believe, I know, but it DOES. Each day it will hurt just a little bit less, even if you don’t feel it at the time. You may still think about this situation daily – I’ve thought about my grandma every single day for the last 8 years since she passed. But now it comes more often with smiles than with tears. I just say that so you know you’re not alone with grief regardless of if it's the loss of a person, a job, or anything else that was important to you. I just wanna give you a hug 🤍

What obstacles might May bring? The Magician rev. & The Queen of Pentacles

There may be a motherly figure in your life this month who tries to keep you down. They may also be grieving this same situation and think that you “moving on” is you not caring anymore. But, that’s not the case. Taking care of yourself and moving forward doesn’t mean you don’t care. Two things can be true at once: you can continue grieving AND work on healing. It is likely this person doesn’t have the tools to do their own healing so they want others to wallow with them. It is not your responsibility to take care of this person’s feelings, no matter how much they mean to you. You can grieve with them, certainly, but you are allowed to have a boundary that says, “I need to step away from this so I can keep myself healthy.” (ps, this queen of pentacles REALLY wanted to come out. It showed itself to me like three times while shuffling and then it finally came out. Group 1 might have some messages for you, too!)

What can you bring into May? The Chariot & Four of Cups rev.

Okay, I’m copying the text right from Biddy Tarot because it is PERFECT. From the Chariot:

“Others may try to block you, distract you, or drag down the pursuit of your goal. But The Chariot is an invitation to draw upon your willpower and home in on what’s essential to you, so you can push past the obstacles in your way.”

I don’t know how this CAN’T be about the obstacles above. As you move into the new month, bring with you introspection and self-care. Know that it is okay to say “no” when you know you don’t have the energy to participate (in a heavy conversation, in an outing, in someone coming over). Exhausting yourself for the sake of others is only going to take away from the healing. Find the things that ground you, do some meditation, and just “be”.  

Group 3: Self-prioritization (Seven of Swords)

What do you need to leave in April? The Hierophant rev.

Take the need for external validation and chuck it! You don’t need that moving forward. You know what your values are. You know what motivates you. And you know that it’s not in the majority. In the past, this has prevented you from taking action or doing what you felt was best. You didn’t want to stir the pot and that makes sense. But, it’s time to give yourself permission to trust your gut and do what is best for yourself.

What obstacles might May bring? The Chariot & The High Priestess

The biggest obstacle in the upcoming month is your subconscious. Going against the grain IS scary and your subconscious will probably try to save you from the discomfort of it. But you have the strength, willpower, and determination to power through. People may try to convince you to stick to the status quo and, yeah, it would be easy to just do it. But, is that what you actually want? Fighting toward what you DO want is going to bring you out stronger on the other end.

What can you bring into May? Five of Wands

An open mind. Something this card suggests is having discussions about the conflict that may ensue from you following your own path. People may try to manipulate you into staying the same or tell you that you’re a bad person because you’re going your own way. But, this is coming from a place that’s important to them. Can you discuss why they feel that way? What is their end goal and how can your new path still lead you to the goal? Just because you aren’t doing life the same way, doesn’t mean that you both can’t be successful. Remember: having an open mind doesn’t mean changing minds. If they’re still frustrated that you’re not coming back around, but you’ve had a discussion, they need to work through the frustration. You did your due diligence.

Group 4: Open mindedness (King of Swords)

What do you need to leave in April? Ace of Cups

The ace of cups usually indicates love – receiving it, giving it, being it. As I think about what this could mean in terms of leaving something behind, I think it might be the hesitancy to open up to love. You are full of love, and I think you know this, but you might be protective of it. It’s okay to take down your shield in order to let the love move onto others and to let it flow to you.

What obstacles might May bring? Seven of Cups

I don’t know if this is necessarily related to the above, but an obstacle you might face in May is the lack of gumption behind ideas. You have a lot of ideas in your head on what you want to do, who you want to be, how you want to interactive with others, and where you want to go. But, you come up with so MANY ideas that then you find it hard to execute them. Take time to analyze your ideas and see what is realistic. Think about ways to prioritize all your ideas. What is most important to you? What has the most impact? Can you actually do them all?

What can you bring into May? Knight of Wands rev.

This card really reiterates the obstacles and how to overcome them. In reverse, the knight of wands acknowledges all of your creative energy. It’s this energy that gets you excited and inspires all of these ideas in your head. But, the card also acknowledges the need to slow down. Remind yourself that you don’t have to do everything all at once. If you are struggling to prioritize, try to think of alternative methods of achieving your goals. Maybe there are baby steps you can take toward each so you feel like you are accomplishing them all. It might go slower, but could help you feel less overwhelmed. Lastly, keep an open mind. There will be things that happen which are out of your control. Take a beat, readjust your expectations, and get back at it.

Nightly Tarot card: Five of Wands

You might be dealing with some shit right now. Arguments, disagreements, feeling like someone or multiple someone's are just trying to be better than you. There's visible tension radiating from you and you know it. While you do need to slow down, this is not the time to take a step back from these situations. You gotta play an active role in getting yourself together and working through these conflicts you have going on
