Oracle Cards: A Gateway to Divine Guidance and Personal Insight

Shaina Tranquilino

September 12, 2023

In the realm of divination and spiritual exploration, there are countless tools available to seekers who wish to gain insight into their lives and receive guidance from the divine. One such tool that has gained popularity in recent years is Oracle cards. These beautiful and captivating decks offer a unique way to tap into our intuition and access the wisdom of higher realms.

What are Oracle Cards?

Oracle cards are a type of divination tool that consists of a deck of cards, each featuring a different image or message. Unlike Tarot cards, which follow a specific structure and symbolism, Oracle cards have no fixed system or rules. They can vary greatly in terms of theme, imagery, and purpose.

The Purpose and Power of Oracle Cards:

The primary purpose of Oracle cards is to help us connect with our intuition and access divine guidance. Each card in the deck carries its own energy and message, offering insights into various aspects of life – love, career, personal growth, spirituality, etc. These messages often serve as gentle reminders or encouragement for us to trust our inner voice and make empowered decisions.

Unlike traditional fortune-telling methods, Oracle cards do not predict the future with absolute certainty. Instead, they act as mirrors reflecting our current state of being and potential paths ahead. They invite us to explore our thoughts and feelings more deeply so that we can make informed choices aligned with our highest good.

How to Use Oracle Cards:

Using Oracle cards is simple yet profound. It requires an open mind, willingness to surrender control, and trust in the process. Here are some steps to get started:

1. Choose Your Deck: There are numerous Oracle card decks available in bookstores or online platforms. Take your time to find one that resonates with you visually or thematically.

2. Set Intentions: Before each reading session, take a few moments to ground yourself and set clear intentions for what you seek guidance on. This will help you focus your energy and invite the messages that are most relevant to your current situation.

3. Shuffle and Draw: Holding the deck in your hands, close your eyes and take a few deep breaths to center yourself. Then, shuffle the cards while silently or aloud asking for guidance. When ready, draw a card randomly from the deck. If a card jumps out of the deck while shuffling, then this is a bonus card that has a message that you need to hear.

4. Reflect and Interpret: Look at the image on the card and pay attention to any thoughts, emotions, or sensations it evokes within you. Read the accompanying guidebook or booklet for insights into its meaning, but also trust your intuition to interpret the message uniquely based on your personal experiences.

5. Journaling and Integration: After a reading, consider journaling about your experience, noting down any significant messages received or revelations gained. This allows for deeper reflection and integration of the wisdom offered by the Oracle cards.

The Benefits of Using Oracle Cards:

Oracle cards offer numerous benefits beyond their divination purposes:

1. Self-Reflection and Personal Growth: Regular use of Oracle cards encourages introspection, helping us gain clarity about our desires, fears, strengths, and limitations. They can act as catalysts for self-discovery and personal transformation.

2. Intuition Development: By relying on our intuition to interpret the messages received through Oracle cards, we strengthen our intuitive muscle over time – a skill that can be invaluable in various areas of life.

3. Empowerment and Decision Making: The insights provided by Oracle cards empower us to make informed decisions aligned with our spiritual path and highest good. They remind us that we have agency in creating our reality.

Final Thoughts:

Oracle cards are tools designed to assist us in connecting with divine guidance within ourselves. Whether seeking answers to specific questions or simply desiring spiritual insight, these beautiful decks serve as gateways to explore our own inner wisdom and tap into universal energies. So why not give Oracle cards a try? You might be surprised at the wisdom and guidance they offer on your spiritual journey.

after having an entire hour long conversation with my coworkers about what "degendering" is, and the importance of using trans people's pronouns when you know them- rather than always defaulting to "they/them" no matter what- and still getting "they/them"ed by people I trusted not to fucking do that to me, I have decided that the name and pronouns circle of introductions for new additions to the group will now include the very clearly stated boundary that they do not use "they/them" pronouns for me.

your move, cowards!

#the positive end of this is that i happened to be the first non-cis person to introduce myself in the circle #and two nonbinary(?) people after me both followed suit & elaborated on like #which pronouns were okay AND which pronouns they actually preferred people use for them/how they use them #which was really cool!!#usually they've just given the list of which ones were okay #so it was nice to have the detailed insight and also nice to see them asset boundaries

Pick-A-Cat GIF: Why Do People Stare At You?

Let's expose the people who stare at you *evil laughs * hehe

Paid readings now available for everybody!

Intention set for the reading: "I want this to be a feel good pick a card to uplift anybody that comes across it. I want their lower three chakras to get a healing boost after reading this pick a card. I want the messages in here to be clear honest and oh so fun to read.

Thank you so much spirit team for helping me do this and help my collective. I lysm <3

Let's begin!"

⋆˙⟡♡⋆˙⟡♡⋆˙⟡♡⋆˙⟡♡⋆˙⟡♡⋆˙⟡♡⋆˙⟡♡⋆˙⟡♡⋆˙⟡♡⋆˙⟡♡⋆˙⟡♡⋆˙⟡♡⋆˙⟡♡⋆˙⟡♡

Pile 1:

Ok. You a domestic queen/king/non-binary royal. Even if you don't identify as one.

Why you ask? Because sweetie, there's something DEEPly satisfying about watching you go about your mundane day. Doing your lil mundane chores and things. You give off a cozy Bilbo Baggins typa vibe it's almost as if you seem so content being in your lil bubble and living your life that it begs for the attention of people who struggle with inner peace. This is why a lot of people who stare at you, stare at you. They wanna know your secret formula to what they're calling inner peace, cuz you look like somebody who's sooooo CONTENT with their own life and their own shi- and their own company. Keep in mind that this doesn't necessarily mean your life is inherently good all the time like you could have everything going wrong in your life and still handle it like a damn Pro and come out on the other side feeling better than before. You alchemize. Consciously or not, you do. And you do it naturally. Let me tell you something, this alchemical-bouncing-back-from-anything mentality IS your source of infinite inner peace. People who stare at you actually pick up on this nature of yours on a very subconscious level without even realizing and boy.. do they desperately wanna know your "secret" which is basically your alchemy. Lmao. So good luck to anybody who tries to understand you, they're gonna have a tough time tryna understand alchemy as a muggle

A lil rant: NO shade to anybody who's not on the spiritual journey but hey I gotta call it out EXACTLY how it is. Your wisdom was hard 👏🏾 earned 👏🏾 so it's gonna take MORE than just overnight to understand you and your alchemical nature. Like am I wrong?

End Of Rant

I think you get it by now. Your vibe is why people stare at you. It's like you ✨️bewitch✨️ people with your ability to "never get stressed" (at least on face value) no matter what life seems to throw at you. This tells me that most people who stare at you are people who see you in public spaces fairly regularly (like a class or a park near where you live etc) and they don't know you very well?

You have a lotta strangers taking respite in your beauty. Staring at you could be like an escape almost.. like taking a sip from that well of infinite inner peace .. gosh you have a very beautiful aura pile 1, hehe and I love and adore that.

It seems to me like you're angelic.. a white aura or light blue one almost.. you exude very high vibrational energy which makes sense cuz a lot of high vibe people get stares for simply existing! Cuz they move differently through life.

Pile 1, you take the proverbial road less taken- the path of spiritual alchemy and face your darkness and this allows you to MOVE DIFFERENTLY and respond different to life than most people. This. THIS is why people stare at you. My sweet, <insert your name> 😊

Any physical/personality traits that people admire:

👉🏾 You may look very cute in your overall appearance which makes you VERY endearing to look at haha. You're cute like a hobbit is. Maybe your shorter than average? Love my fellow Short Queens Tehe ✨️

👉🏾 Even tho you seem very cute, you have eyes of a SAGE of like fucking YODA or something cuz goddamn they deep af. People are MESMERIZED by this duality they sense in you. Love to see it.

👉🏾 You have an air of authenticity to you. You care if you really care, don't if you really don't. No BS typa first impressions when people look at you.

👉🏾 You might strong looking g features that's very beautiful. Like strong looking legs, or strong looking hands, or strong facial features too? Your beauty is kinda Tate McRae's if I'm being honest.. that's what I'm picking up on.. it feels so lovely to sit in ><

And with that were done with your reading for today!

Thank you so very much for reading!

I love you soooo much 🫶🏾🫂

Have yourself a nice rest of your day, now and see yaaaaa <3

⋆˙⟡♡⋆˙⟡♡⋆˙⟡♡⋆˙⟡♡⋆˙⟡♡⋆˙⟡♡⋆˙⟡♡⋆˙⟡♡⋆˙⟡♡⋆˙⟡♡⋆˙⟡♡⋆˙⟡♡⋆˙⟡♡⋆˙⟡♡

Pile 2:

Whoa when I was starting your reading I accidently asked spirit "What makes my pile number 2s attractive?" instead of "What makes people stare at my pile 2s?"

So you have your answer right there.

People stare cuz you is attractive ok? 💅🏾 I'm getting a strong vibe that you already know this but kinda don't care? Cuz like there's more to you than meets the eye (kinda like in the case of Marilyn Monroe) and you seem to know this too so you're like "yea ik I'm cute, whatever" haha I love itttt sooo much. You a lil miss diva ✨️

Have you ever heard of Brown Magic by Twinjabi? It's BLASTING in my ears as I'm channeling for you right NOW lol this is, again, pointing to me how people find you really attractive.

~Oh and keep in mind, you don't have to be a brown girl to relate to the song :p ~

It's ridiculous how many pages you got all at once. This is telling me that you have this child-like vibe to you. You seem carefree and ~oh so~ positive in the way you look at things, at life. Your energy seems very light just like a child. You embody your inner child really well and this CATCHES people's attention like it's nobody's bussiness. You could really do a lot of work around healing your inner child and your connection to her/him which is helping you sustain your natural curiosity, wonder for life and that pure essence.. Alot of people who stare at you do so cuz they've most probably lost touch with their own inner children. They look to you as a source of light that they struggle to connect with themselves.

And you know what that means-

You trigger people ALOT.

You get stares from some people who are jealous of you and want what you have (your connection to your inner child and GodSource) but WITHOUT putting in the work necessary like excuse me?! Back off. My dear sweet <insert your name> doesn't need your stank ass energy rn.

This. This right here is why you also have a very strong field of divine protection around you. And because you're so protected, you have this untouchable reputation which is ironically why people like to stare at you. They feel like staring at you is the only way they can be close to you. Gosh.

You are naturally a very open and welcoming person but spirit makes sure your safe WHILE being so open and trusting of life and people which is why very few (best of the pack) people are allowed into your "circle" so to speak. Love that for you 😌✨️

You seem to have a very strong root chakra, pile 2. People stare at you cuz you give off "rich girl/guy vibe" (don't matter if you are actually financially comfortable or not) it's just. your. VIBE. It's very abundant because of that open and functioning root chakra! So whatever work you've been doing just know that's it's PAYING OFF really nicely heheheheh (good job pile 2! Root chakra work ain't easy)

Any physical/personality traits that people admire:

👉🏾 Your. HAIR.

👉🏾 If you wear red you may feel like people can't take thier eyes off you BECAUSE THEY ACTUALLY CAN NOT. You rock red like nobody's bussiness tehe ❤️

👉🏾 Not just red, any kind of dark feminine aesthetic like black cat makeup, edgy/alternate aesthetics or darker clothes etc brings out your beauty and people who stare at you can't get enough of that lmao

👉🏾 You have a earthy vibe which makes you feel very pleasing to look at (in a luxurious way)

👉🏾 People might find it hard to recognize your ethnicity or your accent cuz you give ethnically ambiguous in the best, most attractive of ways ✨️

And with that were done with your reading for today!

Thank you so very much for reading!

I love you soooo much 🫶🏾🫂

Have yourself a nice rest of your day, now and see yaaaaa <3

Pile 3:

You have the 9 of pentaches and the empress out as your first two cards. Need I say more?

You are STUNNING to look at. You wear amazing clothes. You're in your divine feminine energy, hell, you COMMAND energy like an EMPRESS does.

The power you hold is exactly why people stare at you.

They can't help but stare at you. Bro, your energy BECKONS for attention even if you don't want it.

I'm getting a feeling that you like to stay low key and just chill like because I'm getting a very Miss Independent vibe from you which is well deserved because you know how to get ish DONE 💅🏾 you're responsible like that. But it's this I'm-in-my-bubble-don't-BOTHER-me typa energy is why people I heard- are obsessed with you. People stare out of obsession.

They wanna observe every move you make cuz it's just that mesmerizing. Some people who stare at you may have have crushes on you or secretly admire you (platonic/romantic)

There's a deep respect that the people who stare at you, have for you. It's like they look to you for some kinda inspiration, depending on who is staring.

I'm also getting that you may move like deer, graceful. You may love to vibe out to your own energy.

You also know who to let in and who to keep away. You can SMELL bullshit from a mile away and keep that the fuck out.

This is some bad bitch energy, pile 3! I'm so pumped rn sitting in your energy!

Wow ok I'm getting a very specific message now. People stare at you so they can learn more about you? They wanna know what makes you tick (maybe there's somebody in your surrounding who wants to shoot theur shot with you?) Lol that's kinda cute.

But yea you have this free sprinted, wild feminine energy. You'll do what you want, when you want. You're the definition of never let them know your next move and BOY do I love that for you <3

You are a very interesting person. Cuz you're you. You're not afraid of expressing exactly how you feel and this makes you are really enjoyable to be around and so people stare at you cuz they enjoy how you come across- unabashed in your self expression and unapologetic in your authenticity!

Ahhhhhhh this some Queen Shi-

I'm so honoured to be reading for you rn!

You must also have your boundary game strong cuz I'm getting that you can easily cut people off if they don't come correct and people enjoy how authentic you are.

You're giving me MAD Tyla energy rn man. You could maybe even look her? Idk but whatever you look like trust me. People love to stare.

Hehe ��

People enjoy watching you take action. Lemme explain. If you're in school people love to stare at you while you're working on a project or something or just in class, taking notes n stuff. You have a way about you that's so addicting, man, people who's stare at you don't wanna stop 👀💀 like hello stop burning holes on my body from the intense staring? Excuse me like huh?

If you're at work, some of your colleges could stare at you out of admiration or simply cuz they have a crush on you (or your work ethic?) Or how you dress 🙃

Whatever it is you tend to pour your authenticity into everything you do. Small, big. Doesn't mattter. You do life in YOUR own (divine) way and that's awesome!

You the shit pile 3, I hope you know that.

Any physical/personality traits that people admire:

👉🏾 Your clothes!

👉🏾 You! Yes you read that right, you in your entirety, in your full essence is what people admire. It's your physical beauty. It's your intelligence. It's your taste in music and movies. Your hobbies. Your authenticity. Everything about you, girlie, is fantastic.

👉🏾 Your independence

👉🏾 Your courage to choose joy over fear

👉🏾 Your wisdom

👉🏾 Your ability to enjoy being alone

👉🏾 Your sense of dedication and devotion (to whatever you choose to give it to)

And with that were done with your reading for today!

Thank you so very much for reading!

I love you soooo much 🫶🏾🫂

Have yourself a nice rest of your day, now and see yaaaaa <3

I'm only a couple of hours into South Of Midnight, and what I can tell you is that this is a Black game for a Black audience. And I say that with care and attention. That conversation between Hazel and her mother in the first fifteen minutes is a conversation between me and my mother, between my sister and her kids, between my aunties and my cousins.

There are certain distinctions that other folks may have observed because of their friends, but many of those distinctions are not portrayed positively on mainstream television, if they are portrayed at all.

My (adult) daughter watched over my shoulder and once I got into the actual gameplay, we both lamented that the game is likely going to be attacked for not centering a certain demographic.

And then when we got to meeting Bunny (she doesn't deserve that other name, tbh, even if it's the more correct one)... I turned to my daughter and said, "Welcome to the Deep South," as she stared at the screen in shock.

"You mean, it's not just a stereotype."

"No, Mija, this is life."

I anticipate many hounddogs hollering because there's no dodging that hit.

Having said all that... I really did not think myself worthy of playing the game for all the reasons I laid out above these words. I struggle with blackness, and accepting if I'm "black enough". That first conversation between Hazel and her mother? Hazel took the words from my life.

And then when the "strings" started to show up....

That's when I understood why my mutuals and followers were so keen to tell me about the game when the preview first dropped last year. You all saw something that I have struggled to see.

You all saw me.

Thank you.

#South Of Midnight #Hopefully I haven't spoiled anything.#I paid the extra for early play because personal reasons that were instantly justified.#And there's a lot of personal stuff alluded to that I don't want to get into right now.#But long term readers knew what was up well before I did.#And I appreciate their insight and encouragement.

something i think about a lot and don't see discussed often in the silt verses are the narrative foils and parallels shared by the saint electric and VAL, particularly when it comes to their respective endings. a woman sacrificing her humanity in flames and undergoing apotheosis, elevated not merely to sainthood but ascended to godhood, and losing the entirety of herself in the process, becoming a product to be traded and sold, and a woman who sacrificed her humanity to be made into a commodity, a "valuable" weapon, finally rejecting her attempts to claim that same godhood in favour of reclaiming her personhood in a similarly fiery death. the peninsulan propaganda machine's greatest triumph, and its most damning defeat. the beginning and the ending of the same tragic story.

#🐉#VAL being the inevitable end result of what the saint represents - your willing sacrifice #for the benefit of everyone but yourself being deified ritualised and enshrined as an ideal to aspire to #the saint herself being just as much of a propaganda tool as VAL - and a significantly more effective one at that #(the monopoly the saint has in the peninsula; the majority of the information both the characters and we as audience receive #being conveyed via electrically powered devices; shrue suggesting drafting the saint as their representative god in their #reelection campaign and being told that 'she' (ie: the corporate interests she represents) doesnt get involved #in 'local elections or wars')#and the fact that we get a lot of insight into VALs interiority and personality while we can #only attempt to interpret a handful of actions or inaction by the saint - presented to us secondhand in accounts by other people - at best #because that is what it means to be a god. to be spoken about and prayed to but never spoken *with* or understood.#to be written about in so many words but never your own #to always be the last word on matters but never get to have it yourself #and of course theres the fact that theyre both women exploited as vessels for other peoples interests and values #- specifically those of the state and the corporate - but thats almost too implicitly obvious to merit highlighting #the silt verses #VAL thesiltverses #i dont have a saint electric tag. im sorry women.

really unpopular opinion but if ur trans u should probably lie to ur doctors. not all of them necessarily, but like you could and should especially in the er/urgent care, specifically if what youre having treated/checkups for has nothing to do with your transition. i had chest pain from binding for years that wasnt addressed because i was told it was just anxiety, until the first time i stealthed at the er. suddenly they wanted to run tests on me and said that my ribs were fucked up but they didnt know from what. ive had chest pain for years and i thought i was binding safely but i was also binding for 6 1/2 years before my operation and youre not really supposed to do that

also, even if youre getting gender affirming care, they do not need to know all the details. gay/lesbian/st4t? they dont need to know. transfem top/transmasc bottom looking for srs? dont tell them that. nonbinary/nondysphoric /otherwise gender nonconforming? dont fucking tell them that. a lot of trans people that arent t4c heterosexual and binary trans people, or just trans people who dont follow traditional gender norms during sex/in general are discriminated against all the time. you cannot lie to your doctors about everything, but theres a lot of things that you honestly should just keep to yourself when seeking care as a trans person. as far as your doctor is concerned, youre a binary trans person who isnt comfortable disclosing their personal sex life and its none of their business. letting them think ur a binary trans t4c heterosexual is the smart thing to do

#i mention st4t specifically because the people (doctors) who expect trans people to conform to gender roles also expect them to date #cis people of the opposite gender #in my personal experience #and obviously you dont have to follow any of this advice #also if you can its smart to say youve lived as ur desired sex to the best of ur ability for at least 2 years #even if its just online or not true at all. just dont mention it lol #i understand that a lot of people are deluded into thinking that doctors are the smartest most insightful people in the world #but also every trans person i know including myself has been withheld competent care for being trans #and a lot of the time our transness didnt even need to be disclosed #the average doctor that isnt involved in trans healthcare specifically is not trans informed #they probably heard that trans people exist for like an hour in their schooling and that was it #not every doctor needs to know youre trans to give you competent care #and unfortunately a lot of times if they do know #they will not give you competent care #stay safe out there #trans #t4t #st4t #transmasc #trans man #transhet #t4t mlw #transgender #transsexual #transfem #trans lesbian #trans woman #trans gay #gay t4t #lesbian t4t
