☁️Pile 1: Redline Marble

7 of Wands, Hermit Reversed, King of Cups

They wanna tell you that you’re doing more harm than good by standing your ground and putting up boundaries. That right now, you’re really just isolating yourself from the world. They don’t think it’s healthy but they don’t want to tell you bc they don’t want you to push them away too.

Here’s your advice: Boundaries are a good thing but you have to set those boundaries with compassion and a balanced mind and heart. Are the people you’re cutting off from your life people who are really bad or are they just telling you truths you’re not ready to hear? You need to have Compassion and Patience with yourself first so that you can feel your emotions and have compassion and patience for others who might not have the right words to say the right things.

Signs this is for you: Seagulls, 1989 Taylor’s version, Out of the Woods song in particular, Beach, Pier, Malibu, Sand, White, Blue, 999 777 1111

🦢Pile 2: Selenite

4 of swords, 7 of swords, Chariot, Six of cups Reversed

They want to tell you that they think you need to stand up for yourself. Right now they think you’re taking things too lightly, and justifying it as “I’m staying out of it for my own peace”— but they really think this is just letting other people get away with being mean to you. They want you to start standing your ground and sticking up for yourself even if this means getting into an argument with someone or taking the conflict to HR. They think it’s necessary and the faster you do this the better it’ll be for you. They also want to say that if you need help doing this they’re here for you. You don’t have to face your bullies alone. 🩷

Conflict can be really difficult to face but you deserve to feel safe and if someone is causing you trouble, talking it through and fixing it is better than putting on a mask and convincing yourself it doesn’t hurt.

Signs this is for you: Napping a lot, Feeling restless, Anxiety, Shaking, Mirrors, Mirror magic, Cats, White, Black, Orange cats, Golden retriever, Pitbull 323 333 444 777

🤍Pile 3: Rose Quartz

Knight of Cups Reversed, Knight of Pentacles Reversed, 4 of Wands

This is in regard to a wedding or a marriage. Some of you are planning a wedding and others are already married. There’s conflict with the parents in law or with your parents. Your significant other thought this would be like a fairytale wedding/marriage. But it’s turning out to be either a nightmare or they’re realizing their ideas of this were unrealistic. They thought you were going to be their knight in shining armor to defend them against all troubles with your parents {this is giving Rapunzel, where the prince saves her from mother gothel except you didn’t do this. But they thought and wished you would.} They don’t want to bring this up because they’re worried that when push comes to shove you’ll choose your parents{in law} over them. They’re used to being neglected or chosen last for everything and as much as this is hurting them right now, they’re choosing to suffer in silence. I can see this isn’t your intention at all, but instead you just wanted to keep the peace. Unfortunately, this isnt a situation where keeping the peace is a good thing.

Your advice is to think about what you want and what you are willing to do to show your love. This will require you to stand your ground with your parents{in law} to be the protector your significant other needs you to be. First, create a safe space for your significant other where you can sit down and talk. Let them know they are loved and cherished. Work on making them feel that they don’t have to worry about you choosing someone else over them including your parents{in law.}

Be prepared for healing tears and be open to collaborating on how to fix this moving forward not only with your parents{in law} but with each other. Work on rebuilding a foundation of trust with open, honest communication. It can be difficult at first to get the words out but be patient and compassionate with each other and everything will be all right 🩷✨

Step Two is implementing this by talking to your parents{in laws} and putting up boundaries necessary to protect you and your significant other’s peace.

Signs this is for you: Fighting over tablecloths, Theme wedding, Elven or Fantasy theme wedding, Destination wedding, The Witcher, Game of Thrones, ACOTAR, Estranged parents, Mother/Father in law visiting, Crowded guest bedroom/house, Family gathering, Reunion, Red, White, Black, Silver and Bronze, 353 333 555 444 1111

꒰ THE UNBEARABLE WEIGHT OF LOVE ꒱ RORONOA ZORO X READER

warnings ⟢ slight angst (though it gets resolved). hurt/comfort. mentions of death and dying. descriptions of blood and wounds. brief allusions to buddhism. reader is gn and described as “beautiful” once.

word count ⟢ 1086

notes ⟢ happy birthday to my most beloved! this fic is self-indulgent (i.e. full of my hcs about zoro’s childhood) and a labor of love. the three of swords design in the banner is from the rider-waite tarot deck. three of swords generally depicts a difficult, sorrowful experience.

So this is how it ends.

The midafternoon horizon is fathomless—a halycon ocean���the sun anchored in its depths. A cool breeze stirs, kissing his tawny flesh, rustling his hair, and chiming his earrings; whispering beachgrass casts sinuous shadows across his face, allowing his good eye to rest in partial shade. Nearby, the tide laps at the shoreline—tenderly, the caress of a lover. Foam glides across half-buried seashells and beached debris in a brief greeting before returning to the sea, heeding her call.

Where Zoro is, he can’t be certain (not an uncommon occurence, though he would never admit it). His robe was slashed off at some point, and fell to the ground in shorn tatters. He lies bare-backed in a slurry of sand and ichor, his swords beside him; weeping wounds litter his torso, the most gruesome of which stretches from his navel to his right side. While he had the wherewithal to cut his haramaki and tie it around his waist as a makeshift tourniquet, the fabric is sodden, metallic teardrops puddling in the sand.

Pain is a feeling he greets like an old friend. It’s comforting, almost, like a suffocating embrace. As a boy, he had to nurture that cold familiarity if he wanted to survive—be it fighting bigger kids for spare scraps at the orphanage, or taking lashes from a bokken at the dojo. Strength comes with a cost, as does physical and mental growth. Existence is suffering, and suffering is—in its purest form—pain. But the mind-numbing sting that currently radiates from his injuries is the last thing on his mind.

For the first time in years, Zoro is afraid. He shivers despite the scorching sunbeams, sucking in shallow mouthfuls of air, glistening beads of sweat sliding down his body toward the earth.

It isn’t the prospect of death that scares him; he has walked most of his life along the corpse-strewn path of demons, fighting against his fate as an asura. And he has peered into death’s grim visage before—too many times count. He even dived into hell and cleaved through its bowels to face Enma, emerging victorious as the king of souls departed.

Regret, however? Regret is a different beast.

It’s why he trembles now, covered in grime and gore, half-lucid. As dark thoughts slink to the forefront of his consciousness, he’s aware that dying here will mean failing. Not simply failing himself and his own dream of becoming the greatest swordsman, but also failing his captain and best friend, and failing to preserve Kuina’s legacy. Most gut-wrenching of all, he knows that dying here will mean failing you. There’s so much Zoro wants to do with you, so much he wants to say. He itches with regret, calloused digits twitching at his sides, desperate to claw his skin off.

Clarity torments him. Memories flit before his steel gaze, now wet—a tear-streaked blade. He sees you: the flicker of your eyes when you tell a story; the curve of your lips when you poke fun at him; the halo of your hair when you nap against his chest; the set of your jaw when you’re serious. More than anything else, he longs to tell you how he feels.

I love you.

Three simple words that he always struggled to string together. Perfect moment after perfect moment was presented to him on a gilt platter: inside the crow’s nest at dawn, or beneath the lush boughs in the tangerine orchard—even perched atop the Sunny’s bow to watch the sunset. He squandered each of these opportunities because he (foolishly) assumed there would be more in the future.

I love you.

If only he could muster the strength to breathe out the sweetness of your name once more—to taste each smooth, honeyed syllable on his lips, to feel it silken on his palate. Maybe then he could forgive himself. But instead, it dies on his tongue as his vision blots and blurs. Eventually, his world goes black.

I love you.

Zoro awakes to the muffled creaking of a hull.

His head pounds, his mouth is bone-dry, and his limbs are leaden and stiff; he feels like death, and suspects that he looks like it, too. Surgical gauze tightly wraps his frame, stifled wounds screaming in agony. When he glances up and sees framed pictures of the crew above his cot, he recognizes where he is: the Sunny’s infirmary. In his periphery, you’re sitting at Chopper’s desk with a book in your lap. He tries (and, to his frustration, fails) to shift into a seated position. As soon as you notice the movement—head snapping up in surprise—you rush to his bedside.

He waits for you to reprimand him for being so reckless while away from the rest of the crew. But you don’t—not yet, anyway. (Not until he’s mostly healed. And for that, he wonders if you may be an angel.) Instead, you kneel on the wooden floorboards to level with him. Your fingertips tentatively brush against his cheekbone, as though you’re testing to ensure that he’s real. Content with what you find, you cup his chin, allowing him to lean into the soft warmth of your touch, catlike.

“I was worried about you. Well, so was everyone else. But I’ll only speak for myself,” you murmur.

His voice is gravel, cragged from disuse. “Sorry.”

After a few beats of silence, he clears his throat. “Is Chopper on break?”

You nod. “I’ve picked up the night shift so he can sleep.”

“How long was I out for?”

“Roughly two days.”

“Fuck.”

That draws a chuckle from you.

Zoro swallows. “Listen, I—”

Your thumb grazes his chapped lips, forcing him to pause. “Save your energy, Zo. You don’t have to defend yourself; you’re safe with me. I promise.”

Tired but patient, your gaze breaks him, only to piece him back together. His heart aches.

He inhales deeply. Then—in a flood of emotion he can’t stem—the words flow out: “Y’know I’m not good with feelings…or words. But, uh…” A broad palm wraps around your wrist, your skin hot against his. Ignoring the heat creeping up into his cheeks, he sighs, “I love you.”

Before he can second guess his confession, your lips bloom and burst into a radiant smile, setting your features alight. He doesn’t think you have ever looked more beautiful.

“I know,” you admit airily. Leaning in, you dot a kiss to his scarred eyelid. “I love you, too.”

[just-a-ghost00]

Where is your path taking you?

Images are from Pinterest. I do not own them. The decks used for this reading are the following : Crystals oracle to determine the imagery representing each groups energy, Threads of fate oracle shadow edition, below the surface oracle, White Numen tarot.

Group 1 - Meteorite - Connect to your "star stuff"

If you were drawn to the meteorite, you might consider yourself a starchild. You may have a fascination for stars, astronomy and astrology, science fiction and alien theories. You may find it difficult to connect with people and feel like you belong in a group. You may struggle with your sense of identity. The meteorite oracle card states the following :

" When to use it : When you're looking to conduct more spiritual energy, try Nickel-Iron meteorite. When you're looking to chat with a friend in another galaxy, go with Chrondrite meteorite. When you want to feel aligned to that universal energy that pulsates through everything, try Pallasite meteorite." It feels like you're doubting whether you'll ever find people that are on the same wavelength as you. Well, good news for you. You're getting closer to your soul fam. As you're intuition and connection to the universe are getting stronger, you're able to sense people with whom you may match or your magnetism is doing the trick for you, since you're raising your vibrations. This card also tells me that you may be deepening your connection to the spiritual realm. I'm especially picking up on your ancestry.

Now let's take a look at your other cards. You got the card n° 35 from Below the surface oracle : Oarfish - Be the bigger person. Your kindness is your strength. Here your spirit team is reassuring you on your ability to love and be loved. They're asking you to trust yourself and your qualities. You also got the card n° 34 : Titan triggerfish - Your bold side. Make the first move. Oarfish is a very long fish that adapts well in the depths of oceans. It seems that in different cultures, it is a symbol of misticism, intuition and inner work. It invites you to uncover hidden talents and truths that will help you on your journey. The titan triggerfish is known to be quite protective of its territory and rather aggresive, especially during mating season. Though being bold is a great quality, it shouldn't lead to arrogance and agressivity. Looking at these two cards together, it seems like your journey is taking you to a new territory. You might start a new project, discover a new interest or find a new job that gives you the opportunity to meet your people. Other cards that you have include "dare to dream" and "self love" from the Threads of fate deck. The first card is related to air and the second to water. "Dare to dream" is an invitation to "step wildly into your dreams, to visit them often, to ask them what they need from you". The guidebook insists that though we feel like our dreams are out of reach because we don't know how to reach them, we should still pursue them as dreams coming true is a collaboration between you and the universe. "Show up forthem and they'll show up for you too". To me this also means that lucid dreaming could be a way for you to either manifest these connections faster or to help you identify them when you meet them. Pursuing a dream could very well be the door to new friendships and alliances. Have you ever dreamt of starting your own rock band or publishing a book? Now might be the time to give these dreams more substance by taking a first step towards them. On this card, an eagle's claw is depicted holding tightly to a ruby. The claw is surrounded by Buckthorn. The eagle, the buckthorn and the ruby are symbols of resilience and durability. The Eagle's energy allows you to see clearly through people and situations, to spot the connections between events and people. While the buckthorn helps you deal with external influences that might deter you from following your path, the ruby helps you with the internal factors such as self limiting beliefs. The "self love" card provides a similar meaning as it figures a magestic peacock. Your journey is leading you to a higher perception of yourself and more acceptance of your identity.

It also leads you to success, personal and material accomplishment as well as more opportunities to grow, for your last two cards are the ten of pentacles and the two of wands. On the first card can be seen three animals that resemble white dogs and on the other is a snake. These animals could be reprensentative of the energy of the people you're about to meet. You could be traveling a bit more in the future.

Group 2 - Chrysocolla - Be your own mama.

If you chose this crystal, you may feel quite vulnerable lately and emotionally overwhelmed. You may ask for external validation and help in making decisions for yourself, as you don't trust your ability to be objective and thorough in your analysis of situations and people. You might be in a state of confusion and exhaustion because of someone or something going on in your life. You may feel anxious about the future. Your path is taking you to more control over your life and being your own parent. Meaning that you'll learn to nurture and provide for yourself. You'll learn to be your own mental and emotional suppport, as life may take you away from loved ones. Specifically, I'm picking up on the energy of students or young adults that are leaving the parental home for the first time to pursue their career or studies. It could also be that you're leaving a relationship and being single again scares you. You will be healing your heart chakra on this journey to your independence. Maybe some of you were taught at a very young age that they were unable to live on their own for some reason, that they would always need somebody else to succeed in life. These false and self limiting beliefs became your truth and made you depend on people when in reality you only needed yourself. Looking at your cards, I can tell that your path is taking you to reclaiming your power. Your cards from Below the surface deck are the following : n°23 Coconut Octopus - You're on the right path. Keep going through the in-betweens. n°14 Giant oceanic manta ray - Life is a marathon. Don't burn yourself out in one sprint. I get a strong feeling here that you were manipulated and belittled by people around you, made to feel like you were incompetent or even unstable. That you were worthless, untrustworthy, following the wrong path. Your spirit team is begging you to wake up. "You're not crazy, they are" is what I heard. Your gut feelings are accurate. Your vision of yourself and the world is accurate. Your opinion is valid. You have to keep pushing and keep going. Don't doubt yourself, your skills or your intent. Your mind is clear. People want you to belive otherwise because they are scared of your light, your influence and your power. You mirror back to them their BS and it makes them uncomfortable. The reality is that they dispise themselves more than they dislike you. You have done nothing wrong. Your journey is thus taking you back to clarity and to your inner truth. The octopus is a very clever creature. Its brain functions in ways that are so complex even humans fail to grasp its potential. Your energy is so intense and deep people fear it. You are not to be blamed for their inability to grasp your potential. The giant manta ray invites you to slow down and meditate, to take a few steps back in order to see the bigger picture. It is a symbol of healing, adaptability and focus, as the manta ray is a swift navigator that knows where its going and never loses sight of its destination. The manta ray is also called the "devil fish". People have been misinterpreting its nature which could be something that oftens happen to you. The manta ray highlights the importance of choosing your source of help wisely, if you ever feel the need for external support.

Following these cards are "fate" and "The Magi" from the Threads of fate deck. These two cards are related to the element of Ether. There's a quality to you that people can't grasp. They can't put you in a box basically because you were never meant to fit in one. You are meant to expand and grow beyond anything they could even comprehend. Your path will lead you to great manifestation and a better sight. You could be among the people whose influence in life will be meaningful and well known. You could find your calling in spiritual and divination practices such as tarot, pendulum or chiromancy. Fate and Magi card remind me of Doctor Strange and the multiverse. Similarly to this character, your path may lead you to the awakening of the ability to consider all alternatives and roads to achieve one goal, but also to predict which are likely to be more successful. These cards remind you of the importance of boundaries and the power our actions and words hold. Especially the power and meaning of saying no. The fate card figures an egg resting on a pillow while the Magi shows a hand supporting an eye. It feels like you are currently incubating but soon you will hatch and be able to see the world clearly with your third eye.

Your last two cards are The Chariot and The Empress. The energy of these cards feel welcoming but also extremely powerful. Your path is leading you to stepping into your feminine and leading your life with dignity and grace. The Empress here is depicted as being active contrary to traditional tarot. She stands proud and ready to battle with anyone that would try to dethrone her. She is fierce and with the Chariot in her shadow, she is a force to be reckoned with. She knows where she's heading and will not stop until she reaches her destination. The energies of Cancer and Taurus accompany you on your journey. The Venusian energy of Taurus will help you attract love and nurturing experiences. The lunar energy of Cancer will help you see beyond the veil and understand the threads of fate and their intricate design. You will slowly but surely become the Weaver of your life. Like a manta ray, you will swiftly navigate through shallow waters and like a spider weave your way through the lies and deceit people might want to trap you in.

Group 3 - Rhodochrosite - Soften your heart.

If you selected this group, you may be going through a break up or mourning the loss of a loved one. A situation that was important to you might have ended unexpectedly which left you feeling lost and resenting what was happening. Rhodochrosite is to be used when your heart hurts. It reminds you that though you're hurting, you will heal and love again when you are ready. Your path is leading you to forgiveness and acceptance of that which you can no longer change. It will lead you to detachment and renewal in matters of the heart. The card n°18 from the Below the surface deck is associated with the broadclub cuttlefish. It states : rapid changes, let your flexibility serve you. The following card is the n° 12 represening the ambon damselfish. It states : don't be afraid of your voice, your opinion matters. These two cards suggest that this state of mourning won't last too long. You will quickly be presentend with new romantic opportunities or new projects and spirits are reassuring you. You will be able to move on and start anew. When these opportunity rise, don't be afraid to step in the light and let yourself be seen. The cuttlefish and the damselfish are both very unique and bright. They live in deep waters and can adapt pretty well to their environment. Like these two species, you are resilient and can make your way back to the top pretty quickly. Your other cards tell me that any limiting belief regarding love and relationships will be purged, as you have the destruction card followed by the versatility card. It was important that you do through this experience as it was meant to bring to light the toxicity and limits of your reality. Destruction is associated with fire whereas versatility is related to air. The versatility card reminds you that timing is very important and that forcing a situation to be when the timing is not right will only hinder your growth. It asks you how you can shift what is already existing in order to progress or to consider moving on when no solution can be found. Your path will lead you to a spiritual "spring cleaning". You will be going through your life, your possessions and relationships and ask yourself whether you truly need them now. You will be reassessing the value of your environment, your beliefs, your routines. Your approach to dating and entertaining relationships will be complitely different afterwards.

Ultimately, your path leads you to a new offer. An opportunity to be the main role in your life instead of a spectator. The knight of pentacles and The Emperor bring a message of patience and faith. You have to trust that at the right time and in the right place, what is meant for you will find you and you will be able to recognize it. They also invite you to be clear on your intentions. Especially if you consider dating again. Make sure you are clear on what you expect from a relationship, what you appreciate or what triggers you. Be mindful though of the power you exert over your life. Allow yourself to receive but do not shy away from your responsibilities. Your next partner may be a little bit controlling but also guarded. They need to take things slow and can be quite stubborn. But they will also teach you how to ground yourself and be in the present moment, not to burn any steps and feel things through to ensure you are on the right track. The signs of Aries and Taurus could be significant.

🔥🐉Messages for 2024🔮✨

Sorry for the delay 😅 Got a bit carried away yesterday.

There are three decks for three piles, left to right. Each pile also gets two bonus affirmations to start their year 🥳.

Asking for messages/ what you need to know heading into 2024! Hope it resonates <3

Pile 1: Rider-Waite

Off the bat: I am getting something about your love life. It could be prominent for the first 3 months of this year.

Be less tense. Maybe get into yoga or pilates or something similar. Some people might enjoy strength training.

4 Card Spread: Ace of Swords, Wheel of Fortune, 9 of Cups (R), High Priestess. Bottom of deck is Queen of Wands.

I can see why some of you may be tense. I think you have a lot going on. In particular, there could be a toxic situation or individual you have been dealing with. I almost want to say managing. It won't be a relationship for all of you. It could be any domineering masculine figure in your life or a job situation. I'm saying this because right under the Queen of Wands is the Devil and a few other negative cards, bookended by the King of Wands.

Anywho, despite that I am getting a positive message for you heading into 2024. I kept hearing that "you know the truth." So I don't know if someone has been trying to gaslight you or if you are learning to trust your intuition. Either way, you only benefit from trusting what you know in your gut is the truth of a person or situation.

You are much more resilient than you may know. Or maybe you are just tired of having to be resilient (i feel that). I think that is going to motivate you to start taking more control of your life. I'm not a doctor and if you are feeling depressed, or just not okay emotionally, please reach out to someone for help. With the 9 of cups reversed, some of you may be feeling super unfulfilled, disappointed, and despondent.

The Wheel of Fortune is next to it however, it is my "things are looking up," card. So I see the lack of fulfillment changing. For some this may require you learning how to be more "selfish" or getting rid of a person with a selfish attitude! I see you giving them the boot and them just swirling away like they're being flushed 🚽 lol. These changes may even benefit you financially.

TL;DR: So I guess the overall message is to stand in your power. Remember you are that bitch/guy/person. Or at least you can be if you so choose. Better boundaries and less need for external validation will bring you a lot of peace. You know the truth and the right thing to do. You can trust your intuition

Pile 2: Lucid Dreams Beginners Tarot

Off the bat: You could feel a little scatter brained right now. You might feel like your mind is buzzing and there is a lot to do! Slow down a little so you don't mix things up. I almost grabbed the wrong deck for your pile. Double check everything. Don't lose shit!

You may want to meditate.

4 Card Spread: The Tower, The Fool, Ten of Pentacles, and Queen of Pentacles. Bottom of deck is Seven of Swords.

You know...just as I was beginning to shuffle, I got a message about the soft life. Maybe you should allow yourself to be pampered and blessed more. Not just by people but the universe and yourself.

Also, are there scammers in this pile cause I'm getting some finessing energy 🤣. If you are living a city girl type of life, tread carefully. Just giving this warning because of the 7 of swords and Tower. But you seem to think quick on your feet so you will be good. Work hard but keep your hands clean. You want to build a lasting dynasty.

For others, you could be planning a wedding or planning to elope. Maybe some of you are actually reconsidering marriage all together. It doesn't feel negative but more like, you feel you need more time on your own. Maybe a recent success at work or another area of life has you wondering about the health of the grass just yonder 🤔. Should you follow your heart or stay where you are? I don't know just don't do anything crazy and focus on your legacy/long-term goals.

I can't ignore all the pentacles. In some way, money and foundations are important. This could be related to your family, legacy, inheritance, career, etc. There is emphasis on your physical world. Some of you could be going against family traditions or in some way stepping out on your own. You feel ready to carve out your own path and it is hard to hold it in any longer.

Some of you could go back to an ex or someone you are separated from. For others, that could be the very thing you are rebelling against. I'm hearing "who said I have to choose you?!" You could just now be realizing that you have autonomy and the feeling is intoxicating. There is a male energy present. I can't tell if this is a family member or significant other. Be wary of this person. They are a bit stuck in their ways.

TL;DR: You want to take life by the horns. You feel so ready for it! I feel like it could have been a long time coming for many of you. See what it feels like to be free. Just don't get too carried away! Be wary of the intentions behind people wanting to sway you from your decisions. Keep focusing on your bag and carrying yourself with grace. Maybe you will make some mistakes but maybe they will be make for awesome memories! For some of you, marriage or long term partnership could be on the mind heavily.

(three wanted to come out so I rolled with it).

Pile 3: Muppet Bear Tarot

Off the Bat: I felt really chill starting this pile. I took a little break, had a laugh then came back to it. So maybe you are a little checked out and just going with your flow. The last few years may have been rough and all you want is quiet. As long as you are balancing your priorities, keep moseying down the lazy river of life ☮

Also, if you have been considering getting your first tarot deck...

🔆this is your sign🔆

There are plenty of budget and beginner friendly decks. Do some research then choose what you feel drawn to. Caution: Don't get too sucked into doing readings. I think many of us had that phase 😅

4 Card Spread: 8 of Wands, 5 of Cups, Queen of Pentacles, and Strength (R). Bottom of the deck is the World.

Again, I am getting the feeling that you are more focused on your day to day. You make sure your "home is in order," then you go off to your happy place. If this is not what you are doing, maybe this is encouragement to start. You could be mourning a loss, whether it is a person or a relationship. Or you could be feeling down for another reason. Its okay to do what you need to feel better. Maybe its a quiet night in with a cozy atmosphere or a solo trip.

In some way, releasing control will help propel you forward.

Some of you may be in a long-distance relationship and finally getting the chance to be together. For others, as you focus on healing yourself, you will naturally meet a love interest. Or an existing connection could unexpectedly develop into something romantic. I feel this person being emotionally safe for you. You are entering a new chapter in your life without even realizing it.

You may receive a message that you have been waiting on. Could be a DM, text, email, or even physical mail. Someone may have been sitting on it for awhile. I am not necessarily getting malice behind this delay even though it may be annoying.

There's definitely a chance for a fresh start. It could start slow but I have a feeling you won't mind that. This fresh start could somehow be related to you coming out victorious in a situation or just being "chosen."

Some of you may have family going to combat or returning from combat. I'm definitely getting a military undertone. This could be a young male that wants to make everyone proud. I think whoever that message resonates with will get it. For others, there could be a male who you would like to see do well.

TL;DR: Focusing on healing is the right thing to do. You have been through a lot so its okay to create your own safe space to reside in. Your blessings won't miss you. Even as you focus on yourself, good events and people will still find their way to you. Trust that the whatever high power(s) you believe in have got your back. You could experience rejuvenation in your romantic life. Also, a delayed message is coming through. Welcome to the next chapter of your life :). You deserve all the good karma headed your way this year. 🥰

Hope you loved your readings. May we all have a wonderful start to our 2024s 🥂🎇

I saw your recent recommendations for psychic vigilantes games, but do you have recommendations for anything with a more inception or psychonauts feel (aka exploring/influencing dreamspaces or representations of a person's mind)?

THEME: Exploring Dreamscapes

Hello friend! When I first saw this ask, I thought I might have one or two games off the top of my head, but there’s actually many more game options than I thought already stored away in my folders! Without further ado…

Praedormitium, by Joie Martin.

Named for the transition of wakefulness to sleep, Praedormitium is a tabletop roleplaying game inspired by the experience of lucid dreaming. Players portray Hypnopomps, characters with the innate ability to manipulate the Realms of Dream as they travel through it on strange and wonderful adventures.

Praedormitium uses a deck of tarot cards as the basis of its resolution system, cooperative play, and the unlimited power of players' imaginations to build a cohesive narrative experience. Anything is possible in dreams, and the game can be as wild or whimsical, as dark or surreal as the players choose to make it.

This game has some really intriguing lore that creates some backstory as to why your characters are Hypnopomps, and what that means in the game. It’s not extensive though, so there are plenty of gaps and spaces for your play group to fill in. Your main role is to keep the balance of dreams: nightmares and phantasma all have a role to play. The game uses tarot cards, and incorporates tarot card suits into the lore, so if you like games that tie the mechanics to the setting, you might be interested in Praedormitium.

Lucid Sea of Dreams, by The Games Gardener.

A roleplaying game about Lucid Dreamers and their adventures, tribulations, and mysteries in the Waking World and the Sea of Dreams. Inspired by dreams,  nightmares, and Jewish folklore  (and much much more). Has been described as 'inside-out meets pan's labyrinth’.

Lucid Sea of Dreams makes lucidity something that your character can lose. Your character has Lucidity points, which kind of doubles as Hit Points - lose all of your Lucidity points, and you wake up. In the waking world, losing Lucidity points could lead to becoming unconscious, or even death. This means that there’s much higher stakes in this kind of game - in fact, it’s tagged as horror, so be prepared to enter dangerous scenarios and meet difficult foes. The dice resolution system uses d10 dice pools, which I personally find very satisfying! This game was Kickstarted back in 2022, so I’m not sure if it’s in its final stage, or if there’s more to come.

Nyx, by Doctor Glasgow.

When the Day of the Comet came, much of what was sank into the world below. Into the murky ebon twilight of a most ancient realm, Nyx. Since the very first sparks of light danced behind the eyelids of our ancestors, this realm began to swirl with Dreams. And yet, in sleep, there too, are Nightmares…

Nyx is a role-playing game, set in a darkened realm of sleep and dreams. It is an interpretive game, wherein the strange setting is only just barely glimpsed, like a dream half-remembered when one wakes from slumber. It is up to the players and the Dream Master (DM), to interpret the vague setting details as they see fit, and form a vision of Nyx wholly their own.

Nyx combines dice and cards in an average play session, with plenty of set-up questions to encourage a collaborative world-building and a point-buy system that fuels character creation. Your character is pretty customizable, allowing you to increase specific stats, improve character skills, or focus on special abilities and spells. There’s also different character forms, which I really like - as dream-entities, race or species don’t really make sense. It’s totally possible that your character has been different things over different iterations. The art in this book is lovely and does a really good job of conveying the magical and surreal theme. The full game is only $5, but if you want to see what you’re getting into first, you can always get the Free Beta version at the bottom of the shop page.

18XX Dreams, by Deep Light Games.

THE DREAM REALM WELCOMES YOU: This land has always been here, visited by some, forgotten by many. Something changed. An increasing number of people have been waking with fantastical ideas and feelings. Now, dreams are becoming more solid: books, paintings, scores… 

The barrier is thinner. Some are trapped here, some search for what they can’t reach elsewhere, some just roam, exploring and helping others. What meaning is hidden in your dreams?

18XX Dreams is only 4 pages long, which is pretty standard for 24XX games. This game relies on a handful of polyhedral dice, a small inventory, and special abilities that align with your character archetype - a minimalist set-up that focuses on creativity to overcome obstacles, with elements of OSR play. There’s a page of d12 roll tables for the GM to roll on when they want to introduce something new to the dream, and the game even comes with rules on how to create a DreamCrawl, a simple map that helps the players navigate different parts of a dream-scape.

Dreampunk, by Xavid.

At night, you dream. Your dreams are not idle imaginings, but visits to a persistent world of wonders and dangers both personal and alien. Will you find power there? Will you find freedom? Or will you slowly slip into Entanglement, and be trapped there forever? Play to find out!

Your character is a Dreamer, someone from a waking world who is drawn to the Dream when they sleep. As a Dreamer, you have powerful abilities to shape the world around you. To do so, you must play a card and incorporate into your action an element of your choice from the card.

To play Dreampunk, you’ll need to either buy the Dreampunk Deck of Cards, or a deck of cards with similarly surreal art. Dixit cards, for example, would be an excellent tool for this game. The game uses a series of Moves, but rather than rolling dice, like you would in PbtA games, you play cards from your hand. The game designer cites Belonging outside Belonging and Jenna Moran’s work as inspiration, so I’d expect this game to be well suited for players who are willing to work in the grey areas of interpretation, and who are looking to embrace themes and motifs rather than damage and gear lists in their style of play.

Onira’s Slumber, by FantasticJean.

Welcome to Oniria - a place where Dreams and Nightmares come to life and make the city their own. In this game you play as a member of the Quixotic Society and are tasked with investigating and containing the Reveries when they start becoming too messy. 

This is a game that is compatible with TROIKA, which, while originally is meant to be a kind of multi-verse science fantasy, easy translates to a surreal dream-scape. You don’t need Troika to play though - the rules are included to make this a standalone game. Onira is meant to be a place that can be explored, and the game comes with a number of place descriptions, special events that might affect the characters, and an introductory adventure for a first-time group.

If you want more dream-related supplements for Troika, I’d recommend Oneironauts and Oneironauts 2, by Thriftomancer.

very bad nightmare

Hey guys,

I ended up having a very difficult night last night, had a couple nightmares, but one specifically happened after I woke up at 4:25 am

my cat had been chewing on my draw strings so I tried to pry his mouth open (they are plastic and falling apart, I didn’t want him to choke) and he bit down on my finger and it started bleeding a lot so I got up and cleaned the bite

Normally, after waking up early and walking around for 5 minutes and then going back to sleep leads me to having prophetic dreams or lucid dreams, last night was prophetic and unfortunately a terrible nightmare to wake up to

I don’t want to get into it too far, but it had a people from my CR who are currently going through something difficult, and in the dream they were suffering from something/someone else I know

after having prophetic dreams I wake up with intense worry and a pushing feeling to check in on them, I can’t with one since they are in the hospital

I’m going to consult my tarot deck today to get some more information about whether it was prophetic or not, and what I can do to help or stop/lessen whatever is coming

I might post my spread and the meanings behind the cards

I hope you all have blessed days 🫶

[ladypiscesmoon]

Can I ask if armie’s reputation will get restored in some way even though he may not act anymore? And will his main accuser finally stop beg for attention? I’m tired of the constant attacks he still faces from her…

Hi, anon thanks for your question!

First question: I pulled from the lucid dreams tarot deck and got 4 of pentacles, 7 of wands, 8 of swords. From the Kipper deck: lovers (love, closeness, loyalty), despair ( despair, grief, adversity, obstacles), poverty (harsh conditions, poverty, deprivation)

I think it will be fifty/fifty some people will always love and defend him, others will choose to believe his accusers even though he’s completely cleared of all charges. I don’t think his reputation will be fully restored, unfortunately, but enough that he can start over.

As for your second questionI pulled from my fairy tale Lenormand deck: snake (desire, sex, betrayal, deception), mice (destructive, defects, infested, theft), sun (happiness, success, victory, power), stars (hope, spirituality, dreams, progress, inspiration)

I think this was interesting, because it seems really divided in bad and good signs. She will not stop anytime soon (snake, mice) but I feel that Armie will be happy (sun, stars) regardless of her ranting.

(Alleged, for entertainment purposes)

[pchuaymee]

can you please tell me how you recieve study tips and messages from deities like ganesha and saraswati, i am really interested to connect with them.

Hi, I'm apologize for lately reply to your question.

Before I will share my opinion about this, let me say about my disclaimer and intention on this post.

The first it all, I'm not an Indian, Guru, or person who is born in Hinduism. I am a Thai-Chinese-Laotian who is born in Thailand that interest in witchcraft, spirituality, mythology, folklore and mysterious or ghost story. And I am a spiritual but not religion (SBNR) person, thus, I do respect Hindu deities is my spiritual guides in my spiritual journal.

Secondly, this my opinion is my experience and my belief only, you should be using your thoughtful very much while you read my opinion. This post is not meaning guarantee that is true.

And the lastly, my intention is not to discredit or destroy other beliefs, and I have something maybe mistakes. I am apologized for this, I will say as I know. And you should be do research more.

You can read on my pinned post and on this post.

And here is my personal opinion about them. (TW/CW: Long post.).

In the first time that I know about them, they will do something to you feel to notice about them such as sending their signature symbol in your dream or in while you are doing astral project, some good idea come in your thinking in moment, or other that they can do. As me, I met them in my dream while I was doing lucid dream in the first time that I have come back to witchcraft and spirituality way after I got healed my trauma mental by spirit with Lord Ganesha and Lord Brahma. I saw Lord Ganesh has been appeared as an elephant has broken single tusk with Lord Brahma has been appeared as the olden Brahmin, in later Lady Saraswati has been appeared as book in giant lotus or an adult woman is teacher. Meanwhile i was trying to study about divination and connected them by oracle cards deck is Tibetan theme (This oracle cards deck is oldest of divination tools in my home, LOL) And Tarot deck is Rider-Waite. I did try do connect them until in finally, they connected to me via Tarot. It makes me accepted them as spiritual guides in my spiritual journey since a few years ago, and I have to do research internet and ask or read from someone who is guru in Hinduism for their information, how to Hindu worship them, their mantras for praying, and their special occasional or festivals. And also, I am always connecting with them for they give comment my offerings after I did offer things in their festivals by via divination tools too. But in some time, I will pray them or connect with them by divination tools when I feel get anxiety or blocked ideas for suggestion to me. If that problem, I cannot handle by myself.

I'm always offering for Lord Ganesh are milk and water in normal day, because I don't have time enough to praying him. But in special occasional as Ganesh Chaturthi's festival, I did offer him by his foods are milk, water, butter, yogurt, sugar cane juice, honey, banana, apple, orange and cereals. And also, I did create his small statue for 9 of days and send him back to his home by float him in the last day. For other deities as Lady Saraswati, I am often to do pray her when I need to suggestion about study tips or art tips. She is often giving a suggestion by via divination tools, some cool ideas flashlights to me while I'm thinking, in dream or in astral projection. And her festival is "Vasant Panchami", I am always offering foods as Lord Ganesh, but I am always to offer stationeries, laptop, art supplies, and divination tools too. However, I am always praying to Lord Ganesh before I will pray other deities. Because Lord Ganesh is the deity of removing obstacles and new beginnings of all, so, many ppl who is Hindu or someone is Hindu deity's worshiper are always praying him. In addition, I am usually drawing them for I do worship them in my personal space and motivation when I am studying too. But whatever, I will not offer with them by meats, bloods, alcohol drinking, and illegal things.

I'm often cleaning and organizing on my desk and in my room in every I have a free time, because it can help me to be more productive for some new ideas and my room is free from dirty. And also, I'm usually to change water in glasses, buy a new box of milk, and changed water in vase at altar meanwhile I am turning mantra on YouTube too. Because they have blessed me and my family to be lucky. (In my home altar is not only Hindu deities, but we also have Chinese deity as Lady Kuan Yin and many of Buddha Image too.). However, I will not forget cleansing my divination tools and some crystals, if I have free time too. And I am always taking a shower in after waking up and going to the bed in everytime. In addition, before I come in my home, I will wash my feet and wash my face too. Because my family always tell me that "It help to clean our face and feet, it can cleanse from something maybe negative or evil spirit followed us in during we are traveling." Thus, I am always do it. Oh, I am closely to forget something! Don't be forget to do meditation until it will be calm down too.

For study tips, I am accepting that since I was a student at primary school until I am a final university student in now. I am studying in my primary school and middle only, because my family has not money enough to me study at any academic for helping exercise subjects such as math, science, English, or other. But I did much homework from school with researching by internet when I was a middle school and I had fortunately when I was a high school, I had gotten studying at university in pre-degree system too. So, I did homework from high school and do exercise for final exam in university until I was graduated from high school and become to full uni student. Cause, I got trauma mental from school so long time. It makes I don't believe them and ignore studying from university, but I have a lucky again that I got heal from my spirit with Lord Ganesh and his family until I'm ok now. And Lady Saraswati tells me about study tip a little when I study at home such as allowed to I'm turning video about study with me or pomodoro on YouTube, or do meditation before study. For Lord Ganesh tells me about how to do manifest for my goal, how to do accept my mistake or failure for do it in correct, and I do respectful owner in my university when I go for do exam, or taking care myself when I am during in time of the month. However, they're always tell my that "Focusing and understanding about content by using critical thinking, it is very important. For stationary or tools that is the most expensive or the best. It is just ingredients to help you in study is better up."

And the lastly my opinion, they're always tell me that "You just have believe in yourself that 'I can do it.' when you are studying or doing something is handling by yourself, but if something you cannot do by yourself in final. Just let it go and waiting for a new thing is better." And them mentioned to my craft that "When you are doing ceremony or worshipping is still holy or not, It is upon yourself that how are your intention. If you use it for in good way, it becomes to be your blessing. But if you use it for in bad way, it becomes to be your curse instead." So, my witchcraft or spiritual stories might be likes as normal life that is none special thing.

And these are my opinion for about them that I got experience with them, it is long text post so much. However, it is upon each personal are different and my opinion is not guaranteed that is so true. And also, it might be wrong in normal Hinduism way too. Thus, you maybe do research or ask someone who is guru in Hinduism by yourself.

And the last, Thanks for read my long text post and for someone who is Hinduism read this my opinion, I am so apologize again for I give an information is mistake.

[the-sheep-from-obeyme-real]

Obey me! headcanons

also, some of these might just be straight-up canon/not canon cause I'm only at lesson 26.

Demons are about 7'-8' tall. (obviously, the little devils are like 3 feet tall at most but this isn't about them.)

The HOL was designed for demons, which is to say counters are a bit too high for mc to reach comfortably, stairs are a bit too steep, etc etc. doors are also taller, but that's a non-issue. That said, the house probably wouldn't be quite so obnoxious to live in if your mc is like 6'whatever tall, but I'm not so like.

Lucifer

8'2

I think he uses he/him just because he doesn't even know what neopronouns are. but if he did he would use he/him and ze/zem

pansexual, but only because he never cared about romance before meeting mc, and since mc's gender has nothing to do with that attraction-- yeah.

he honestly really likes Diavolo he just doesn't have the energy to do anything about it yet

Mammon

7'8

he/it

he's so bisexual. like he's just so clearly bi this isn't up for debate he just is. /lh

Levi

7'7

he/him

I simultaneously wanna be like "That's a straight man" because I hate him and he has an anime body pillow, and be like "idk what he is but he isn't straight" because of his whole. yk. self. that said idk wtf he is so I'm gonna say he's Omni and call it a day

his room smells like mold and gamer sweat. probably also monster energy.

Satan

7'7

he/they

pansexual

he has a 5-step morning skincare routine because of Asmos's influence

also if you gave him the opportunity he would talk for like 6 hours about his new favorite book

Asmodeus

7'7

he/they/it/pretty(pretty/pretty/prettys/prettyself)

bi with a pref for men

probably taught himself to lucid dream/owns a tarot deck and knows what the cards mean/has some healing crystals

Beelzebub

8'4

he/him

pan

technically knows how to cook, but can't cook because he eats the ingredients

Belphigor

8'1

he/they

Omni

prompt fill #1

prompt: #16 no I'm not okay

fandom: blaseball, sort of

verse: based on a dream I had where the Reader helped me out of a really bad trauma nightmare before it began

tw/cws, as needed: implied attempt at SA (thwarted by the Reader before it began)

You sit there staring, the body lifeless on the floor. The Reader places the chair they've beaten the other to death with back, pokes the still form with a foot, head tipping to the side slightly.

"What the fuck," you say.

It hits you then: this is a dream--

The world sharpens.

"What the fuck," you repeat, with conscious choice and feeling this time.

They look up toward you, and all you can see from beneath the shadow of the large hat that obscures their face is a smile. "Interception."

The emotions swirl in your brain-- fear and grief and horror and relief and gratitude. You stammer out some incoherent thing; the Reader nods.

They're regarding you now, like you're something they're trying to interpret.

"I'm on deck," they say finally, and you feel like you should know what they mean, but you don't. "That's a Parker phrase," you answer instead.

The Reader shrugs. "I'm an echo-- I'm your echo," they say, nonchalant, like it makes sense.

"Uh..."

The Reader waves a hand; one of the many tarot cards that dance around their form comes to gently land at your feet, face up.

You stare--

Ace of Cups, upside down.

Fuck, cups represent emotions, right? Water. Ace ... one, beginnings? You're really not that great at reading tarot at all. The Reader watches patiently as you pick up the card and mumble.

Finally, they step over closer and take back the card as they say gently, "Your voice is my voice."

There is so much fondness in their voice. You blink in surprise and confusion; they smile again.

"Sorry, I'm half lucid and very stupid," you say.

The Reader hums-- I'll keep you safe.

And you know that song, because it's one from Central's playlist. And not just Central-- your archetype F/O iteration, who is your romantic fictional other.

"Oh, shit," you say, because that means this is your Reader-- not in a fictionkin sense, but in ...

Your eyes well up with tears. "Did you-- did you know I needed help?" Your voice cracks, your body trembles.

They gingerly remove the sunset colored shawl they have draped around their shoulders and lay it around yours, softly patting you on the side of the arm.

You can barely see now through your crying. "We don't even know each other well yet," you say shakily. "I haven't even made it official...."

The Reader takes one of your shaking hands in theirs, carefully carefully, like they'll drop it and the entirety of you will shatter.

"I want you to feel okay," they sing as they lightly kiss the back of the hand they're holding. "...I want you to wake up tomorrow and fight another day."

You're bawling now.

The Reader steps over the memory of your assailant's body and sits on the bed, opens their arms to you, and you cascade into them, the tears hot down your cheeks and your throat tight.

"You deserve a say," they murmur. "Don't give up."

"...Seriously, are you Parker now?"

Somehow, you're able to tell they roll their eyes, and can't help but laugh.

"I think I get it, though," you manage, "you can't... you're not able to speak on your own, because you're..."

The Reader nods. "Weak reverberation."

"Maybe you'll be able to talk with your own words later on," you muse. "That's be nice..."

You lean back a little, peeling away from where you're pressed into their shoulder neck area, and rub at your face. They are still holding your hand.

"...Reader," you say slowly, "did I will you here?"

They smile, a smaller shrewd thing now, before they bring you back into the hug as they say, "I'm always here." They pause, give you an affectionate look. "Don't worry - we're in equilibrium."

Their gaze drifts to the body on the floor. "...It's okay if you're scared," they say after a moment.

You swallow back new sobs. "Honestly rather terrified... no, I'm not okay."

They make a motion with their head toward the body; their hat tips a little and absently you reach out to adjust it, make sure it doesn't fall. The Reader makes a little pleased noise as you do and then presses another tarot card your sternum. "Have hope," they say.

"I'm just Wyatt Ma--"

You cut yourself off from the sing song words as you examine the card they dealt. The Star.

You look up at them. "You really think so?"

They nod sternly.

Your eyes cast down. "I wish I was so sure."

"Listen," says the Reader, "you're learning."

You lean closer into them; they sway you back and forth a little. Because you will it, realize you have that power here, and they have none at all, the body sinks into the floor and disappears.

"Thank you," you say. "Gotta make sure to say it properly-- we don't have much time left, I think."

The Reader cocks their head questioningly.

"This'll end," you explain. "Usually anything nice like this stops pretty soon after it starts-- no telling where I'll end up next, but it won't be soft."

"Love you," they say. "Remember that."

"I'll do my best."

The last thing you see is their smile.

(When you rise back to awareness, you're in the between, the realm of half-wakefulness, the pitch dark empty and the Reader is nowhere--

But their shawl remains, still on your shoulders.)

My first experience with lucid dreaming

So, yesterday I tried watching a youtube video before going to bed, one of those for you to enter into a meditative state, and I found myself for the first time ever lucid dreaming! For the first time ever and it felt so weird and different from all the other dreams I've had in the past.

My goal was to try shifting to a specific dimension, but I couldn't get to it, but I definitely felt like I found other dimensions and other dimensional beings. So weeeird!

And when I woke up, I'm pretty sure I saw my guardian angel quite proud of himself for allowing me to tap into that. I used the tarot deck as soon as I woke up and the message that I got was that it was all real, that he helped me go into another dimensions because I asked to, that he'll help me with this so I don't have to go through all this alone.

I even got the angel's name when I woke up. Uriel was the first name that came to my mind. And, fun fact, just googling it now...

Dream walking and Spiritual manifestation.

So, um...

That's interesting.

[ladypiscesmoon]

Hi, in your reading of Armie, I found his concern about having a home for the kids and Timothee so cute. Will it take time for him to have the financial solidity he had before?

Thank you for your question! I pulled: (lucid dreams tarot deck) the moon, ace of swords, the devil reversed. And from the Kipper deck: privileged lady (joy, creativity, yes), thoughts (ideas, dreams, maybe), high honour (recognition, awards, fame, VIP, promotion, yes)

I think it will take Armie a while to be back on track. He’s got lots of ideas and whatever he ends up doing, I think in the end he will be successful. He will earn enough, maybe he will not have as much money as he used to have, but he will certainly not be poor I guess. it looks very promising, he isn’t there yet though so yes it will take him a while.
