Harriet Powers, Pictorial Quilt, 1895-1898
Her descriptions of the images in this piece:
First Row:
(Panel 1) Job praying for his enemies. Job crosses. Job’s coffin. (2) The dark day of May 19, 1780. The seven stars were seen 12 N. in the day. The cattle all went to bed, chickens to roost and the trumpet was blown. The sun went off to a small spot and then to darkness. (3) The serpent lifted up by Moses and women bringing their children to look upon it to be healed. (4) Adam and Eve in the garden. Eve tempted by the serpent. Adam’s rib by which Eve was made. The sun and the moon. God’s all-seeing eye and God’s merciful hand. (5) John baptizing Christ and the spirit of God descending and resting upon his shoulder like a dove.
Second Row:
(1) Jonah cast over board of the ship and swallowed by a whale. Turtles. (2) God created two of every kind, male and female. (3) The falling of the stars on Nov. 13, 1833. The people were frightened and thought that the end had come. God’s hand staid the stars. The varmints rushed out of their beds. (4) Two of every kind of animal continued… camels, elephants, “gheraffs,” lions, etc. (5) The angels of wrath and the seven vials. The blood of fornications. Seven-headed beast and 10 horns which arose off the water.
Third Row:
(1) Cold Thursday, 10 of February, 1895. A woman frozen while at prayer. A woman frozen at a gateway. A man with a sack of meal frozen. Icicles formed from the breath of a mule. All blue birds killed. A man frozen at his jug of liquor. (2) The red light night of 1846. A man tolling the bell to notify the people of the wonder. Women, children and fowls frightened by God’s merciful hand caused no harm to them. (3) Rich people who were taught nothing of God. Bob Johnson and Kate Bell of Virginia. They told their parents to stop the clock at one and tomorrow it would strike one, and it did. This was the signal that they had entered everlasting punishment. The independent hog which ran 500 miles from Georgia to Virginia, her name was Betts. (4) The creation of animals continues. (5) The crucifixion of Christ between the two thieves. The sun went into darkness. Mary and Martha weeping at his feet. The blood and water run from his right side.

In my opinion you can totally do tarot readings for yourself in a religious way if that's what you wish to do! Others reading for you, yes that might be tricky when they have a different beliefsystem and practices that might not agree with you personally but when reading for yourself you don't have to consult other spirits, ask for your God(-s) and only him (/them).
So many religions have pictures and all these meaningful visuals and the tarot is such a great medium for the divine to speak to you more clearly through such.
I think the main reason people are against it is a misunderstanding of divination, thinking of it as looking into the future and prophesying things you're not supposed to know or be aware of but in my experience things will simply not be revealed if they're not supposed to. Most of the time it's just analyzing situations and getting guidance on emotions, thoughts and overall your inner world, it's very psychological.
Little things I like to do are lighting those candles with religious images, praying over my cards and making sure I'm wearing jewelry with symbols important to me, these are also great ways to protect yourself (from outside influence).

Signs and Wonders Bear Witness
1 When Yeshua had finished instructing His twelve disciples, He went on from there to teach and preach in their towns. 2 Now when John heard in prison about the works of the Messiah, he sent word through his disciples 3 and said to Yeshua, “Are You the Coming One, or do we look for another?”
4 Yeshua replied, “Go report to John what you hear and see: 5 the blind see and the lame walk, those with tzara’at are cleansed and the deaf hear, and the dead are raised and the poor have good news proclaimed to them. 6 Blessed is the one who is not led to stumble because of Me.”
A Prophet Without Honor
7 Now as they were leaving, Yeshua began to talk to the crowd concerning John. “What did you go out to the wilderness to see? A reed shaken by the wind? 8 No? So what did you go out to see? A man dressed in finery? Look, those who wear finery are in the palaces of kings! 9 Then what did you go out to see? A prophet? Yes, I tell you, even more than a prophet. 10 This is the one about whom it is written,
‘Behold, I send My messenger before You, who will prepare Your way before You.’
11 “Amen, I tell you, among those born of women, none has arisen greater than John the Immerser. Yet the least in the kingdom of heaven is greater than he. 12 From the days of John the Immerser until now, the kingdom of heaven is treated with violence, and the violent grasp hold of it. 13 For all the prophets and the Torah prophesied until the time of John. 14 And if you are willing to accept it, he is Elijah who is to come. 15 He who has ears, let him hear!
16 “But to what shall I compare this generation? It’s like children sitting in the marketplaces who call to one other, saying,
17 ‘We played the flute for you, but you did not dance. We wailed, but you did not mourn.’
18 “For John came neither eating nor drinking, and they say, ‘He has a demon!’ 19 The Son of Man came eating and drinking, and they say, ‘Look, a glutton and a drunkard, a friend of tax collectors and sinners!’ Yet wisdom is vindicated by her deeds.”
20 Then Yeshua began to denounce the towns where most of His miracles had happened, because they did not turn from their sins. 21 “Woe to you, Chorazin! Woe to you, Bethsaida! For if the miracles done in you had been done in Tyre and Sidon, they would have turned long ago in sackcloth and ashes. 22 Nevertheless I tell you, it will be more bearable for Tyre and Sidon on the Day of Judgment than for you. 23 And you, Capernaum? Will you be lifted up to heaven? No, you will go down to Sheol! For if the miracles done in you had been done in Sodom, it would have remained to this day. 24 Nevertheless I tell you that it will be more bearable for the land of Sodom on the Day of Judgment than for you.”
Yeshua Teaches the Ways of His Father
25 At that time Yeshua said in response, “I praise You, Father, Lord of heaven and of earth, that You have hidden these things from the wise and discerning and revealed them to infants. 26 Yes, Father, for this way was pleasing to You.
27 “All things have been handed over to Me by My Father. No one knows the Son except the Father, and no one knows the Father except the Son and anyone to whom the Son chooses to reveal Him. 28 Come to Me, all who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest. 29 Take My yoke upon you and learn from Me, for I am gentle and humble in heart, and ‘you will find rest for your souls.’ 30 For My yoke is easy and My burden is light.” — Matthew 11 | Tree of Life Version (TLV) Tree of Life Translation of the Bible.

What does Matthew chapter 11 mean?
Key Events in Matthew 11
1. John sends his disciples to Jesus. 7. Jesus' testimony concerning John. 16. The perverse judgment of the people concerning the Son. 20. Jesus upbraids Korazin, Bethsaida, and Capernaum; 25. and praising his Father's wisdom in revealing the Gospel to the simple, 28. he calls to him those who are weary and burdened.

we've talked a bit before about how obsessive scully is, that she's a zealot. and i was thinking about this when i posted about signs & wonders. it's how i think about her with mulder — specifically the idea that mulder is a (her) prophet, the way her faith shifts to him. she follows him, protects him, believes (in) him. the way that, in the show, he's objectively right so she's right to take his side. it's reinforced even as they're "punished" for it. is this what you mean or maybe something else i haven't really considered?? what scenes/episodes do you think this plays out most? (as always, love anything you have to say especially about scully <3)
yeah that's basically what i've been thinking about...but like, when you posted about signs & wonders, this was the ending dialogue that you shared:
Mulder: If this was some sort of test looks like I failed. Scully: I'd say if it was, you passed with flying colors. You're alive, aren't you?
and i think it gets bypassed a lot of the time how reductive "believer/skeptic" is, in that these are roles that they play but often not really who they are. mulder isn't actually a believer, per se. he's trying to be, and it's extremely fragile and difficult ("you think believing is easy?"). scully is a natural devotee. she's catholic, born and bred, and feels most defined in faith. not just a belief: a completeness, a trust, a reliance. "based on spiritual apprehension rather than proof." (dictionary definition)
it's been addressed throughout the series, that despite her job as the skeptic, the one demanding evidence, she does not feel the need to prove what she believes in. she tells him that she believes in miracles, even if they can't be witnessed. when he asks what she would do to prove the existence of god, she says that she doesn't think about it. she doesn't think it can be proven. believing isn't difficult for her, isn't fragile, isn't frantic.
but "zealot" means "uncompromising," someone who fanatically pursues their beliefs and convictions. and it isn't belief in god, or dedication to the mission, that scully is violently committed to. signs & wonders is a religion-based episode, where they don't catch the killer. he safely moves to a new city to continue his work. but scully sits in “blessing, tennessee” and calls it a win, simply because she can say anything to him at all.
(collateral damage by audries: "he tells her he loves her, and she thinks someday she’ll tell him that the rest of the world is collateral damage. she’ll tell him that her prayers are selfish and that she is not the saint he thought, the savior he expected. she thinks she’d destroy the world for him, rather than save it, if it came to that...they’d wanted her to love the whole damn world, but she won’t. she wants it all narrowed down to one man in a dim basement and the way he falls asleep with his head in her lap, his restless hands and warm insistence and the way his coat gets darker and darker as he leaves her behind.")
it isn't steady, rational, commitment to her god or her family or her country ("i left behind a career in medicine to become an FBI agent four years ago because I believed in this country"), that she gives her last rights to on her deathbed. that she froze for in the artic, that she inked into her skin. it isn't to save the world that she gives up her child. her job. her home. her identity. and runs.
people tend to think of mulder as obsessive and myopic and that's true, it's hard to always be seeking. to always be following is terrifying.
#prophets and converts#love you and i love to talk about scully i just hate how everyone else talks about her#lol#what did i used to say? there's grief in being starbuck?#asks#signs and wonders#it's so hard on her because he DOES want to save the world#and it's part of why she is so dedicated to him#but as we've discussed before he isn't ever going to actually belong to her#it would actually probably be easier to prove the x-files and end the conspiracy than it would be for scully to ever see him still and safe#in iwtb when she says that she does NOT chase monsters anymore and she does NOT go into darkness anymore#'we're not fbi anymore mulder. we are two people who come home at night to a home.'#and he says 'this is who i've always been' and she says that's why she's scared#and she's a devout believer who has searched her whole life for something righteous to devote herself to and she does see him as a prophet#but all it does is leave her chasing something into the dark forever#and in iwtb she says that it's why she's scared AND that it's why she 'fell in love' with him#who up......................our-ing their boros

Scripture Of The Day – June 3, 2024
Mark 4:39 -- "Then He arose and rebuked the wind, and said to the sea, 'Peace, be still!' And the wind ceased and there was a great calm."
John 14:12 -- "He who believes in Me, the works that I do he will do also; and greater works that these he will do, because I go to My Father"
Jesus did not come to show us what God can do. He came to show us what one Believer can do who was wholly yielded to the Father and His Holy Spirit.
Affirmations:
I FORGET THE PAST AND REACH FOR THOSE THINGS WHICH GOD HAS CALLED ME.
I PRESS TOWARD THE MARK FOR THE PRIZE OF THE HIGH CALLING OF GOD IN CHRIST JESUS.
I CONFESS TODAY THAT I YIELD MY HEART TO GOD'S WORD SO THAT RIGHT THINKING, RIGHT BELIEVING, AND RIGHT SPEAKING BECOMES A WAY OF LIFE FOR ME.
Hebrews 3:1 - “Therefore, holy brethren, who share in a heavenly call, consider Jesus, the apostle and high priest of our confession."
ALBERT FINCH MINISTRY
