#Tarot sessions

[branzinos]

sorry for not being super active on here anymore I've been doing intense therapy in the last few months and it consistently leaves me a dehydrated husk of a person who can just about handle doing one task per day and all I've done recently is watch YouTube videos with my girlfriend every night and dissociate while staring at my shrimp tank. the soul wants to gif and post but the body says be horizontal and play PowerWash Simulator (2022). but I am very excited that Abbott is back and that they are all back to sharing one brain cell like one of those partial best friend necklaces

hi loves! since valentine's day is coming up, i figured it would be fun to have this month's speed reading session centered around love! consequently, i will only be accepting questions about your future spouse or your next partner's physical traits and their characteristics. i will also draw for their potential zodiac signs. additionally, i will be relying on messages that i've created myself rather than traditional tarot.

please specify if you like to know your future spouse or your next partner's traits/characteristics

just for fun, tell me what your favorite romance movie or book is and why it's your favorite!

please add your initials or name in the ask, as well as what gender you're attracted to.

i only accept requests through my inbox, not through dms. anon is accepted.

asks that do not follow these rules will be deleted.

disclaimer; this game is solely for entertainment purposes. please take these messages with a grain of salt.

I've been trying to figure out how to incorporate religious practice into my life & trying to get over the fear of being...annoying? If that's the right word? It feels a little like tugging on the gods' sleeves when I make more than one offering a day to them even though I know I'm not, like, being rude by *checks notes* giving them things or dedicating time/activities to them. Today I made a dessert in preparation for tomorrow's Pathfinder game and dedicated that time spent baking to Hestia and Aphrodite, and it was really nice! I feel like I'm starting to find my footing despite my worries. I'm also trying to make sure I take time where I'm not thinking about religion at all so that I don't start to ruminate/spiral. It's happened a few times already to varying degrees and it's! Not fun!

It's possible it's hindsight/confirmation bias, but I do think the vibes of my tarot deck changed when I started reaching out to the Greek deities. It makes sense: I was using my deck to reach out to a completely different deity/deities before I started exploring Hellenic polytheism. And it's definitely not in a bad way, just more energetic and...light? When before it was heavier (in a comforting way). I've gotten consistently coherent pulls, too, which is nice.

I've been trying to remember to pour a libation to Hermes at certain street corners when I'm out & about, but I have to make a game plan for when other people are also in the area, even if it's just psyching myself up so I don't look awkward while I do it. I have a pendant that I keep in front of his altar/shrine jar that I try to remember to take with me when I travel, and it's been cool having something in my pocket that's consistently reminding me of him because I check so often to make sure it's still there. There were some...issues with my commute on Monday (a true comedy of errors on the city's part) but the change in routine was a *lot* easier to handle in the morning. Of course, the unusually cool temperature helped, but I do accredit the smooth transition to Hermes because I wasn't stressed at *all* for the vast majority of my commute when I usually would have been wiped from the mental/sensory strain of having to pivot & kinda just hope I guessed right on what to do next. The commute home was a nightmare but I didn't have a whole-ass work day ahead of me after that so the stress didn't matter as much (and I was able to get through the last bus ride & walk from the stop which I wasn't sure I'd have the mental fortitude for).

I'm almost done with the statue of Hermes I've been working on, and I finished a set of alphabet oracle "stones" (squares made from air dry clay...would that technically be closer to potsherds?) tonight. I'll share a picture of them once I finish their bag- I have some leftover green cotton yarn from a recent project that I think will go well with them. We'll see how well they hold up, though I'm not planning on doing the "shake them until one falls out" method so hopefully they'll last a while. I worked on them in the living room this evening, instead of in my room. I'm getting more comfortable showing little elements of what I've been exploring to my housemates; it was nice to be able to sit & paint & listen to the iliad while my friend did his own thing next to me on the couch.

I'm still trying to figure out how to gauge each housemates' potential reactions. It'll probably be fine: friend 1 actively has an altar-esque space and uses tarot cards and a pendulum and friend 2 is friend 1's wife. I'm a bit worried about friend 3 being weird about it, at least at first, but considering he was experimenting with witchcraft-esque things a few years ago (I distinctly remember charms & him discussing which of the wheel of the year days he wanted to observe) I think I'm overthinking things. He's an atheist & his view of witchcraft was, at the very least, *similar* to the psych model, which I think is where the hesitation has been coming from on my end. I have therapy this weekend so I think I'll start bringing things up then. The office my therapist is in openly advertises all sorts of alt/witchcraft things so I think I'll be safe there lol

Did a tarot session to try to discover more about this mysterious deity (possibly Lucifer). Learned a few things:

- They seem to identify with Lucifer in some way, whether they actually are him or not

- They don't reject the label of 'The Devil', but also consider themself as something more than it, and reject being pushed into one box

- They consider themself enlightened and a source of new beginnings. They exude wisdom and clarity, and are associated with change, breaking free, and challenging authority. They are possibly also associated with moral ambiguity(?)

- They want to help guide me on a journey through personal transformation, overcome internal conflicts, and help me gain confidence

- They are possibly associated with pain, betrayal, or rejection

- Their domain is associated with or symbolises freedom, rebellion, and overcoming trials

- They believe I am 'ready' for the next stage of my life and that I am in a good place to begin a new chapter. They view me as someone in need of guidance

All in all, it was a very interesting session. I'm honestly quite excited (and a bit nervous) to work with them.

Any input from those who work with Lucifer, or with a deity who sounds similar to this one would be very appreciated!!

i think tarot interpretations of the winners is cool but im sorry Grian, Scott, and Pearl r NOT the fucking Sun, Star, and Moon tarot. if ur gonna choose Martin and Scar's by how they played and won then do it for those 3 too dont pick them based off imagery bc if u look a bit deeper i dont think they fit those cards much at all...

i assigned them based off how ive seen them play + some other assignments ive seen around and think fit! i havent watched Scott or Martyn's pov the full way through so this could be a bit off in relation to their winning session, so sorry bout that :(

this is how i see em:

Grian: Justice, a card about consequences and law vs trickery and unfairness

Scott: The Lovers, a card about relationships and love vs self love and disharmony

Pearl: Strength, a card about courage and outward strength vs inner strength and raw emotion

Martyn: The Tower, a card about upheaval, revelation, and chaos vs averting disaster and personal change

Scar: The Magician, a card about resourcefulness and power vs manipulation and untapped potential

My reasons for why The Sun, Star, and Moon r not rlly applicable for the celestial trio in a tarot lens:

The Sun is about abundance, optimism, and vitality, im sorry none of that fits Grian at all??? in any season?????? what even????

The Star is about hope and faith, arguably applies to Scott but not like the best? imo? it CAN fit but I think that would work better for someone else, tbh Martyn 3rd life fits this more

The Moon...is about...fear, anxiety, and intuition...brother that is NOT Pearl in ANY season?! Especially not in DL where she was her most rebellious and confident??? I think a few fit her but definitely not the Moon

tbh imo its a bit...lazy...to just apply them tarots based off their celestial theming when they dont rlly...fit? if Martyn and Scar get actual thought put into their cards the celestial trio should as well especially when u cna get rlly interesting applications when u step outside of the celestial mentality :D!!!
