What mask do you wear that is keeping you from the rebirth you have been waiting for?

I have a ton of prompts that I have waiting! My partner picked this one intuitively for the day so shout out to them. The decks used today are the Star Spinner Tarot, the Healing Waters Oracle and the Starseed Oracle. Take what resonates and leave the rest behind but always be open to new experiences.

_________

PILE ONE

Astrology: Leo, Pisces, Cancer

Song: Magic by B.o.B.

Vibes: Pink, blue, yellow, mice, rabbits, corvids, dice, bear, mushroom, 666, watermelon, kiwi, pancakes, hockey, activism, university, fairies, Amaterasu

Cards: The Sun, The Moon, 6 of Wands, The Waterfall, Cracked Open

Hello, pile one! The mask you wear is a mask of logic. You think you need to see it to believe it. You have a tendency to see the worst-case scenario in a lot of situations. You see life as guilty until proven innocent. This point of view is understandable but it is limiting your success. Why assume that you will fail before you have even begun? Especially, because you are so capable and a powerful manifester. You seem to believe that you deserve to fail. This belief is a subconscious belief that you can definitely remove easily if you just knew it was there. Take this mask off and you will see your dreams come true! Your manifestation will come true fast and easy it'll feel like the impossible became mundane. Spread your wings and fly my dear. You don't need to fear jumping from the nest. You have always been ready no matter who told you that you weren't. I believe in you, the universe believes in you! Please believe in yourself too!

PILE TWO

Astrology: Scorpio, Aquarius, Sagittarius

Song: We Are Golden by MIKA

Cards: King of Cups, 4 of Swords, 4 of Pentacles, Thank You, The Golden Children

Hi, pile two! Welcome to your reading. This miiiight be a little hard to hear so heads up on that. You are being held back by a mask that can't exist in the present. You are constantly thinking of what will be to the point where when you get the manifestation you were wishing for you can't even enjoy it because your mind has already turned to the next achievement to work towards. You are incredibly driven but I see how unsatisfied you feel about all that you do because of this mask. Take time to congratulate yourself! Take time to give yourself a gold star for your efforts. You worked so hard!!! Thank yourself for working so hard. Thank the world for what you have in front of you. What you will have is important to work towards but what you have now is still worthy of recognition. Look back at how much you put into what you have now. Look at all that you have achieved! It's hard for you to recall. The tunnel vision you get from the task at hand is blinding you from everything you have already done. Please see how well you have performed so far. Acknowledge yourself. Acknowledge your strength. Your inner child is screaming at me "ACKNOWLEDGE ME ACKNOWLEDGE ME ACKNOWLEDGE ME!!!!" You need to hear them because wow they are yelling loud. Don't just buy them something nice by the way. Genuinely allow them to feel happy about what they have done. Pat them on the head and tell them you see them.

PILE THREE

Astrology: Libra, Aries, Capricorn, Taurus

Song: The Call by Regina Spektor

Vibes: Pastel pink, yellow, teal, clocks, falcons, Horus, armor, coy fish, 8888, storms, renaissances festival, mermaids, libedo, strawberries, cucumbers, caramel

Cards: 6 of Cups, 8 of Wands, 8 of Pentacles, Let It Rain, Star Brothers

Pile three, welcome. You wear a mask of perfectionism. You have the belief that only you can perform tasks to the right standard. Part of this belief is good but some of it is holding you back. I am glad you have confidence in your abilities and feel capable enough to do things on your own. The problem is you feel this way a lot more than is physically healthy. You believe it so deeply it makes you over-exert yourself constantly. You probably feel super tired all the time. Part of you longs immensely for help with all the tasks you do. It feels lonely to do everything alone with no companionship. Let me tell you a little secret, my friend. Let them fail. Let people underperform the tasks that aren't and shouldn't be your responsibility. If you let things slip through the cracks it might seem like you are failing but really what you are doing by letting people fail is helping others learn lessons. You are doing yourself and the people around you a disservice by taking responsibility for tasks that need to be failed. If the people around you fail, they will be more likely to learn faster. You are robbing them of lessons and exhausting yourself in the process. That literally helps no one. The next time you see someone not doing their job properly. Let them. Let them not do their job. If someone else tries to make it your problem you tell them what I just told you, okay? It will make you a better teacher and the people around you better students. Let people fuck it up. Trust the universe. Trust people to learn even if it takes them a couple times to figure it out. Failure is the best lesson teacher.

PILE 4

Astrology: Capricorn, Gemini, Virgo

Song: Hell's Coming With Me by Poor Man's Poison

Vibes: Purple, lilac, navy blue, ibis bird, Thoth, architecture, stars, akashic records, 3rd eye chakra, crown charka, dreams, diamonds, lilys, daffodils, angels, whiskey, pyramids, curse breaker, dragonfruit, mangoes

Cards: The High Priestess, The Star, Ace of Swords, Stagnant Waters, Star Ancestors

Hi there, pile four. You wear a mask of imposter syndrome. You don't think you've done enough. It doesn't matter how much you have achieved. You never think it is enough. You are blind to how much you do. You have the belief that the world would be better off without you but the thing is. You raise the planet's vibration WAAAAY more than you believe. You have such a good heart and you are so balanced. You are kind, smart, intuitive, wise and witty. I wish you could see yourself clearly because you are truly an angel. The thing is all the things I just named are things you wish to be. You wish it as if you aren't aligned with those things already. The mask you are wearing is distorting your vision of your true self. The only thing holding you back is your perception of yourself. Let go of the past criticism that plagues you, my dear. You took that critique in stride and grew far past your initial goal. You have succeeded already. You already did it! Congratulations on being super awesome and cool! You don't need to wish upon a star anymore, baby! You are already a star yourself. <3 Change your view of yourself and you will be UNSTOPPABLE!!!

[sixthwater]

Hello! Have you been feeling a bit lost recently? Especially with all of the eclipses that we've been experiencing? Well, here is some short advice from your spirit guides and angels to help get things sorted out.

Disclaimer | Pinned | Tip Jar | Paid Readings

Pile One

I began your reading and my back started killing me; make sure you’re doing proper stretches or you’re not pushing yourself too hard to wear yourself out.

There is a sense of holding your tongue or keeping yourself trapped in the closet. I just got an image of The Little Mermaid when she signed away her voice but it’s not the Disney version it’s the legitimate fairy tale, it’s also more of a choice? It’s difficult to describe; it’s not that you prefer to be uncomfortable and to hide under a mask blah blah blah, but there’s experience of pain and loss so you don’t want to do it again. Maybe you haven’t expressed certain emotions or identities, but you overheard them being looked down upon or it was made fun of, so instead you locked these emotions up and threw away the key (ex; someone laughing at you having feelings for them when brought up as a joke or someone disrespecting a sexual orientation/identity, etc). Your pile is the very first, in all of my history of reading, where I want to be completely silent and only listen to certain frequencies as well.

The advice: You need to listen to yourself and the world (in a way). You already have the answers to your questions/concerns inside of you, but you do need some help finding them obviously. You’re looking for external answers, but it’s only causing more confusion because...well everyone sees the world differently. So when you try to put yourself in those shoes, it causes more scratches on the Vinyl record that is your life, you know? It’s funny to say this but they’re kind of asking you to pull back and not move on so fast from what’s going on because you haven’t really sat with your feelings and gone through the process. What’s been upsetting you and why did it bother you. Why did you react that way. Well how did you get to Point E from Point B? Take a time out and sort these things out when you can because it’ll get you some clarity. There’s also a piece here about communicating and becoming vulnerable. It’s not exactly the same, but I need to figure myself out sometimes with talking and I end up stumbling upon revelations through discussions. You might need to have a low energy discussion with someone you feel comfortable with you so can get to these answers. You don’t need to immediately express or explain these things, but it will help you out. Some of you might need to re-route yourselves because you are lost and you took the wrong exit; it’s fine, that’s life and it’ll happen constantly. There’s nothing to be embarrassed about, if you weren’t here to make mistakes then what are you even here for. Confide in other people, ask for help, get some guidance. You can rely on those around you, not everyone will want to hurt you. I keep being nudged to an issue with identity and — for some it’s just figuring out who you are but there’s pain so if it is what i mentioned earlier, only you know yourself. People can help, but do not let them police who you are and decide what’s ‘correct’ and what’s not. The main message overall is that there is a need for you to be vulnerable with people — or at least someone. There is either embarrassment or pride here holding you back and it’s smothering emotions that end up causing inner turmoil. I would say this points to seeking out a therapist but there are no swords here, so I believe this could just point to finding people to confide in or making peace with the softer aspects of yourself that you might find shameful.

With ‘Chance’ and ‘Dive’, I believe it’s just pointing more towards diving deeper into unknown territory which would be emotions you haven’t explored yet. ‘You cant live your life dealing with surface level things’ is the phrase I’m getting.

Pile Two

Pretty simple so this might be short. The energy check is a bit out of reach despite how simple it seems. I think the first two songs might sum it up a lot better than I can. I don’t believe it deals directly with love, but the idea remains.

I think the advice here is to not teeter too much to one side. You’re not lacking in passion, but you might pull back too much if something fails. There’s a slim piece about being a bit scattered in where you want to go, but we’ll touch on that later. For now, it’s being enveloped by how alive you feel when you’re going after your dreams. How happy it makes you and the rush you get. I keep being drawn back to Passion Ignited as well as Aylis because they’re similar; a glowing ‘orb’ that’s placed over the chest somewhat. Ah that reminds me of The Greatest Showman. Just it’s song ‘Come Alive’, I think that fits this pile quite well. You just have to be comfortable diving into your passion and not be embarrassed, and even when making mistakes, to laugh it off and keep chasing after it. It doesn’t even have to be a dream — people call nearly everything cringe these days. Are we not supposed to have hobbies? Enjoy your hobbies, that’s the point of living. What does it matter. Express yourself and be a bit goofy, you’re a bit tense and scared of messing up right now, but it’s okay. Now before I mentioned being scattered — there’s a small message of getting a clear view of what you want in your life. Do you want to be an influencer or do you just want a good work-life balance. Or a remote job. It’s the general idea that you have which might not really be what you want at the end of the day, and they’re just asking you to clarify, because you can make certain things come true if that’s what you want. However, with just as many ‘let loose’ cards you have, they’re balanced with some grounded cards here. Also, if you haven’t reached your goal yet, don’t give up. We never reach our goal with just one attempt or in just one chapter. You will get there.

Tiger Lily...maybe my job example was on point? If you’re thinking of jumping into something headfirst with no back-up, really think about it. Make sure you have savings, you have a safety-net, you have all your bases covered, etc. There are plenty of people who can afford to take a risky route of income because other people are covering bills with an insane paycheck, or they’ve had years to build up a base. Be patient, and work dutifully to get to that place. It’s difficult, but with these really precious spread I believe that you will have much to offer people if you take your time. This doesn’t mean give up, it just means be smart and take your time.

Associated Songs: Passion – Utada Hikaru, All My Heart – Sleeping with Sirens, Tonight – Kesha

Pile Three

This is gorgeous. The energy while pulling cards was light and goofy and I’m understanding why now. The meaning of these cards would usually give off a blue/purple aura, since there are a lot of messages alluding to soul searching, but I believe this is more...personable? How do I explain this.

Usually when you think of soul searching, you think of The Hermit. Someone who pulls back from socializing and focuses on themselves. However with this combination, it feels more like really thinking about- I’m sorry the strongest smell just popped through my vents and it smells like Cinnamon. It is not my favorite but it reminds me of gatherings late at night, anyway — It feels like thinking about the people around you and how they reflect you and what you want in your life. You figure yourself out and what you want out of life by interacting with others. It’s not that you need others to do this, but they shine a light on certain aspects of yourself or they bring you to do activities that you wouldn’t have done on your own, thus making you have these realizations. So the advice itself is saying that you should sit on these moments and really let them seep in. They’re not necessarily telling you to isolate and do some introspective thinking, but when you have these moments, don’t push them aside to keep up with others. You have a knack for knowing yourself inside and out, and what’s best for you. I know that seems pretty normal, but it’s not necessarily common. Knowing who or what you want VS what you don’t is a good gift and you should be utilizing it right now. I keep hearing ‘don’t be satisfied’. Keep looking for things that really make you happy. It’s not in a greedy sense, but don’t think ‘well that’ll do’, go seek out experiences or hobbies that make you feel whole! I don’t deal with chakras, but all this green is hard to ignore considering it stands for the Heart and I’ve felt happy and calm the entire reading. There’s not much advice here because you might already have the answer inside of you but more like recommendations; such as going for walks, or having calm hangouts with friends or family. I think you’re already doing what’s being said here, but do your best to keep a balance of focusing on those revelations of what’s best for you and healthy doses of engagement with those around you. I don’t have to pull extra cards either, you seem to be doing quite fine honestly

(There are no songs here, a lot of light-hearted songs. Some goofy mixes. Good Time by Carly Rae Jepsen & Owl City as well as chill songs that don’t really have messages in them)

Pile Four

Confidence. That sums up your whole reading. Well that and some change. Right now it doesn’t necessarily feel like doubt or naysayers, but you don’t really have people to boost you up. Or you need to feel extremely safe/supported in order to really go after something — which feels more physical than spiritual. So it could be a change in majors, career, personal expression, hell maybe just changing direction with your life in terms of dropping out or not using your degree in pursuit of something else entirely. The flowers in the Deceit card resemble horns right now and it’s like opinions or external thoughts regarding the situation that can make you overthink your next steps or how you feel about the topic in general. Gosh I’m forgetting the term but in a way, they could end up being right in a sense that they affect your natural ability and make you way too anxious to perform naturally, thus making you fail. So it’s the ‘well I’m going to fail so I’m not even going to do my very best’ so when you fail you think it was destined to happen.

Your guides and angels are asking you to just take a chance and trust in the adventure. You have to move with confidence, you can’t be sheepish with this. You could be new to this change, so obviously mistakes will happen, but you can’t go into this with a pessimistic attitude. I’m seriously not getting any negative energy around you so don’t worry about that. If the world around you is dull, explore different avenues that give you joy. I’m always going to say to never just leap into the unknown without any thought, but you seem extremely hesitant and it’s holding you back from a new chapter and great experiences that are meant for you. This could be in the shape of a new job or merely just new friends who could help you gain more confidence within yourself. Again though, this pile seems more material based than the others, so I’m thinking it’s related to money matters or at the most, possibly moving but that’s a stretch. There’s a small piece of being scared to take up new opportunities because you’re not well versed in them but, you won’t know everything in the world? The only way to gain experience is to test it out. If it’s for you, then you’ll know once you try it, right?

Haha the Bear! Yeah, this is an uncomfortable time for you, but it’s urging you to sort of learn how to walk, and embrace the natural calmness yet underlying formidable strength of this animal. I’m thinking of when someone was arguing that the bear was one of the scariest predators in the world, but this card also stands for inner strength and you literally have Strength here so, you just have to be comfortable entering this new stage of life (transitions, which there are too many examples for me to list here). Don’t be hard on yourself, everyone has been in your place before.

(Not many songs, just Bends by Carly Rae Jepsen stood out)

❊ 𝐌𝐢𝐧𝐢 𝐓𝐚𝐫𝐨𝐭 𝐆𝐚𝐦𝐞 𝐀𝐛𝐨𝐮𝐭 𝐘𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝐃𝐞𝐬𝐢𝐫𝐞𝐝 𝐑𝐞𝐚𝐥𝐢𝐭𝐢𝐞𝐬 ❊

This is the first time I'm doing a mini tarot game and it's reality shifting related! I decided to give you options on what you can ask, you can find them down below. Just so you know, all of those readings will be kept relatively short! And of course those are just tarot readings, they don't have to resonate and nothing is really set in stone! At the end of the day, you are the one in control and you can always change things to your liking! So, don't take these too seriously, they are just for fun!! ❤️🌿

× 𝐖𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐭𝐲𝐩𝐞 𝐨𝐟 𝐃𝐑 𝐬𝐡𝐨𝐮𝐥𝐝 𝐲𝐨𝐮 𝐟𝐨𝐜𝐮𝐬 𝐨𝐧 (𝐫𝐢𝐠𝐡𝐭 𝐧𝐨𝐰)?

I would give you keywords/genres or vibes. I have made a cute little deck with DR (desired reality) themes and I would use this and probably a tarot deck.

× 𝐒𝐡𝐨𝐫𝐭 𝐥𝐨𝐯𝐞 𝐦𝐞𝐬𝐬𝐚𝐠𝐞𝐬 𝐟𝐫𝐨𝐦 𝐲𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝐃𝐑 𝐒/𝐎

I would try to get cards from my love oracle deck and my self made message cards for you. Please tell me in advance if you're ok with 18+ messages!! Otherwise I won't mention them... :')

× 𝐀𝐬𝐤 𝐬𝐢𝐦𝐩𝐥𝐞 𝐲𝐞𝐬 𝐨𝐫 𝐧𝐨 𝐪𝐮𝐞𝐬𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧𝐬

This could be about your script or about what you plan to do in your DR or whatever. I will simply tell you whether it seems more like a yes or no. I will not give an in depth explanation, just a brief one. So, take this with a grain of salt!

× 𝐀𝐬𝐤 𝐦𝐞 𝐰𝐡𝐢𝐜𝐡 𝐨𝐩𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧 𝐰𝐨𝐮𝐥𝐝 𝐛𝐞 𝐛𝐞𝐭𝐭𝐞𝐫 𝐟𝐨𝐫 𝐲𝐨𝐮

For example you could ask "Should I be a vampire or mermaid in this dr?" - those are two options and I would try to find out what would be the better option for you at the moment. Ofc you can try out both!! This is just for those who want their first experience there to be the most 'ideal', you know?

❊ 𝐈𝐟 𝐘𝐨𝐮 𝐖𝐚𝐧𝐭 𝐓𝐨 𝐏𝐚𝐫𝐭𝐢𝐜𝐢𝐩𝐚𝐭𝐞 ❊

Step 1) Please check in my pinned post whether the game is still open or not.

Step 2) If it's open, follow me and reblog this post.

Step 3) Ask me just 1 of the 4 options at a time! Those asks with more will be deleted, sorry. However, there is no limit to how often you can send in asks!

Step 4) All readings will be tagged with #t.minigame , so you can find your reading under this hashtag once I posted it!

Hello, you may call me Amour! I'm twenty eight nine and I go by she/they. I've been reading tarot since 2021, though I'll always feel like a perpetual newbie. I'm an eternal optimist, I love mermaids, faeries and angels. With my style of reading, I like to incorporate my own kind of magic with kindness and respect for other people. The blunt, "no bullshit" type of readings are not my style. You'll also find I don't resonate with the concept of twin flames, new age practices (manifestation, LoA, etc) and binary concepts of "masculine vs. feminine" energies solely. My readings are meant to be inclusive of all gender identities and sexualities, but you are more than welcome to correct me if there's a slip up. I love feedback and I'm always eager to know how my readings may (or may not) have resonated with others. Enjoy your stay! ♡

Yes, but they're open solely for mutuals. I'm still working on a proper page with guidelines and examples of my exchange readings so my page is more organized.

Went on a huge witch/craft supplies run yesterday, spent a fuck ton of money more than I wanted, but I thing it's worth it. I got refills on a bunch of the stuff I've been sharing with kiddo and coworker, I got a book on mermaid magic that looked hella cool, four more oracle decks including three of the Seasons of the Witch decks (Beltane, Litha, and Mabon!), hubby managed to surprise me by sneaking these gorgeous tree of life notebooks into our cart when I wasn't looking, I got a few more notebooks myself in a different store (those were for a good cause and I can't resist notebooks lol), and there were two copies of Cunninghams Encyclopedia of Magical Herbs so I grabbed them both, one for Kiddo and one for Coworker.

Next step in kiddos present is gonna be Grovedaughter Witchery by @breelandwalker and herbs out the ass lol. They already have the crystals I could share, and I've gotten them a pendulum and a tarot deck.

(Sorry if I get overly emotional about Kiddo this week y'all, they turn 18 on Wednesday and I'm having some very strong emotions about it...)

pile 1

(cards: eight of cups rx, judgement, ace of swords, ten of cups rx, the tower, death rx, pluto)

hello pile 1, how are you guys doing? 2023 is going to be a very eye opening year for you. i feel like you have struggled with the relationships in your life a lot, so this year will be all about learning how to maneuver situations that arise within those relationships, and when to know it's time to leave.

you have a very interesting approach to the people around you. sometimes, the smallest things make you want to leave them behind, have a glowup, and forget they existed. you have an "i don't need them" attitude, since you have survived so much, and you choose to cut people off because of it. other times, you stay and endure things and situations that harm you, mentally and emotionally, just to keep that one dear person in your life. it must have been exhausting doing that, but trust me, it'll be so healing to work on it this year.

especially when it comes to the people who have hurt you and are still in your life, make sure to sit with yourself and let the memories of the things they have done really occupy your brain. it's not going to be a pleasant experience, but it's needed for you to judge how exactly they have acted, their possible motives, and why they still are in your life. relationships demand communication and understanding, but if that person offers neither, why are they still around you? think about why you keep them close, what would happen if you let them go, and try to judge everything as objectively as possible.

there will be moments within the year when you will feel more clear-headed, better at discerning lies, and will reach a point where you will know if a person entered your life just to teach you a lesson – and what that lesson is. get ready for the process to be turbulent, letting go is not an easy task, especially when everything is happening inside you, and you are the one who needs to take the first step.

in order to overcome your obstacles, recognise your trauma and the root of the issues you face in relationships: where it comes from inside you, when it happened, how it now translates itself into behavioural patterns and your relationship style. learn how you love and ask people to love you the way you want, don't be scared to be alone, look into things that interest you, no matter how taboo or unconventional they may seem.

thank you for reading!

pile 2

(cards: queen of pentacles, king of cups rx, ten of swords rx, the sun, the hugh priestess, the hierophant rx, luna)

hello pile two, i hope you're doing well! so, 2023 is going to be a year when you'll chase your happiness. you got the sun card, so i really don't think there is much else to add, other than the fact that it'll be full of you achieving your goals.

when it comes to resolutions, i belive going after what you want academically will help you a lot. deciding how many hours a week you want to study, having a healthy school or job schedule, working towards your hobbies with a calculated approach rather than "just doing them". for example, if you like to dance as a hobby, don't limit yourself to specific moves or styles. expand, try new things, maybe even look up some classes you could take and give yourself a gift. invest your money in a way that makes you happy, not in the way your parents, or the people around you did.

and, i think you doing your own thing and healing from certain experiences will be a huge theme for you this year. so, set the resolution to do whatever you want with your things, as long as you know that you can a) afford it and b) fix it if it goes badly. if you want to paint on your walls, for example, make sure that you can cover up the paint to the original color if you're renting the place you live in, so you don't face trouble with your landlord. study different languages, invest in the things you love instead of what you think you should, expand your horizons. listen to the music you want, go to the places you want, decorate the way you want. some of you may be moving out of your parents' place this year, so some doubt and uncertainty may arise. don't let it consume you, and start living by your own rules.

i also see that you have been ignoring your spiritual side and trusting your intuition less. so, make it a goal in 2023 to trust your gut feelings more, and try to communicate with your spiritual team. get into divination, astrology, palmistry – whatever inspires you, truly, or return to it if you've set it aside. don't deem yourself overly emotional or irrational; trust the feelings you get, the things you see. it's very easy for us to get lost in every day life so much that we ignore our spiritual sides and needs. if you're a tarot reader, do a reading for yourself. communicate with your guides a bit, tell them hello.

the energy you should channel in order to overcome your obstacles this year is secretive, alone. don't share your plans with people unless you're sure you want to pursue them, keep your friends close, wear an evil eye, or whatever makes you feel protected. don't live your 2023 in paranoia, but don't be as open as you used to. when adversity comes, listen to good music, and use the hours of the night to relax – whether that means taking a bath, basking in the moonlight, or sleeping until the next morning.

thank you for reading!

pile 3

(cards: the hierophant, the lovers rx, the high priestess, ace of wands, the chariot, five of swords rx, gemini)

hello pile 3, how are you today? so, your 2023 seems to be very interesting in terms of self improvement and getting everything sorted. you may be an overthinker so let's take this one step at a time and set some very clear goals for this year!

first things first, you will need to make the distinction between when you're using your intuition, and when you're letting past trauma take over. did that person really hurt you or are you just afraid that the little thing they did is the beginning of a cycle of hurt, so you cut them off instead of communicating? do you actually have a bad feeling about this situation, or does it just involve you being out of your comfort zone for a prolonged amount of time? try to distinguish when each feeling is speaking and don't lie to yourself – that will only make the situation worse. if you're unsure, especially in the beginning, you can ask for help and guidance from your spirit guides. they are here to help you, after all, so don't hesitate to reach out.

for those of you who aren't in a romantic relationship, focus on yourself this year. set a "self love" resolution, whether that is establishing a morning or night routine that relaxes you, working out, studying for the things you're passionate about, getting a promotion at your job, whatever makes you feel loved and appreciated as you are. do not pressure yourself, especially if you decide to start working out. consistency is key, but each person is different, with different schedules and different needs. working out once a week is just as good as working out once a month, as long as that is your goal. don't push yourself into romantic situations just because you're seeking that feeling in your life. everything will turn out fine, just make this year all about you.

for those of you in a relationship, establish a personality different from your partner's. what i mean by that is, you're your own person. you were your own person before you met your s/o and you will continue being your own person for the duration of your relationship and even after it, if that time ever comes. do not give up on your dreams just because of this person being in your life right now. the best example i could think about is person a getting into a specific college and person b (you, in this example) trying to get into the same college to be with them, even if they don't like the courses or area. just. just don't. look out for yourself more than anyone else.

lastly, take up a new hobby. if there's something you've been meaning to do for a while, or if you are discovering new things you want to delve into, go ahead and do it! being passionate about something is one of life's fewest small joys. don't let it slip through your fingers without chasing after it first.

the energy you need to channel in order to overcome your obstacles this year is communicative, social, and fun. don't take yourself too seriously. laugh at your mistakes, use your intellect to get over them, utilise your wit and quick thinking to ho forward. communicate your issues, ideas, and knowledge with the ones around you. express yourself creatively.

thank you for reading!

id love to see your collection/list! my tarot niche is cat themed decks but i love seeing what otber people are drawn to :)

My Collection of Divination Decks

You're so sweet! You got it! I wish this post hadn’t taken so long. When it was halfway done I decided to take the pictures myself instead and got overwhelmed so I've done it a bit at a time. Anyways you guys remember that I'm always happy to help you find beginner decks that work for you or decks that fit certain ideas or themes! Rather if that's more inclusivity, certain vibes, the deck being based on animals, plants, etc. Don't be afraid to reach out!

Without further delay, the decks...

The Classic Rider Waite

This was my first deck as I'm sure it was for a lot of people. I heard a lot of people talking about it and knew a lot of other decks were based on it so I got it. I'm glad it was my first deck because it helped familiarize me with all the Rider Waite based decks yet to come in my practice and it's just a sort of neutral starting point. I could also see the appeal in getting a more themed deck which is why I offer to help beginners find one that fits their needs. The good deck is the deck you'll pick up and use!

The Linestrider Tarot

This was my first deck that's well... not just the plain old Rider Waite. I was 14 or 15 when I got it so it probably wouldn't be my first pick now, aesthetic wise, but I have a huge soft spot for it. It's always felt like I was in tune with this deck and I love little details like that The Fool has no face and the two of cups are cats! Like isn't that just the cutest? Also it wasn't that expensive and came with a solid box and a thick guidebook, which is always a welcome bonus in my opinion.

The Hedgewitch Botanical Oracle

Ah, my first oracle deck, as you might have guessed. It was also made by the same artist that made the Linestrider tarot, which you may also have guessed. I'm pretty sure I got them at the same time because I adored this art style so much. I like the way this deck is laid out. There's detailed illustrations of plants, and y'all know I love a deck with plants, as well as the name of the plant and the main theme of the card written on it. I need to use this deck more! Let me know if you guys have tips for doing oracle readings or using oracle decks more.

The Star Spinner Tarot

I was interested in this deck for its inclusivity. it's also a hopeless romantic deck in my opinion. It has a fairytale sort of art style and you can choose between four different The Lovers cards, two of which are distinctly gay. Also the two of cups are pink mermaids, what else could you possibly want?

The Avatar Arcana

This deck is based on avatar the last airbender if you couldn't tell or aren't familiar with that series. It's a fandom deck. I was such a feen for it when I found it online. I waited patiently for it for ages. I feel like the selections for what characters go with what cards, especially on the major arcana, are a little on the nose and show that this is more of a novelty deck. But hey, it's a deck themed around a show, I knew what I signed up for, y'know? Anyways I'm very happy to have it!

The Illustrated Herbiary Oracle

This deck is going here because I wanted to show all the decks in my collection. It was a gift and even though I don't wanna be ungrateful, I'm hard to buy gifts for, and picky about my decks. I usually like decks based on plants (and have several in my wishlist) but this one just isn't my favorite if I'm being honest. I think it's the borders. Either way it's in my collection, which makes it worth note, and who knows! Maybe someone else will love it or just generally be inspired to get a plant based deck.

The Dream Interpretation Oracle

The cards are unfortunately bent on this deck so there was a slight glare on a few cards, but even if they’re hadn’t been I feel like the cards here or any picture just couldn’t do this deck’s vibes justice. I got it at witchfest (which I'm so excited for this year, that's a whole different happy ramble) and I feel like it really captures the strangeness of my dreams. There are whole cards for things like shoes, or shouting. Shuffling the cards is a weird time indeed.

The Antique Anatomy Tarot

I feel like this deck is quite popular and for good reason. It’s exactly what it sounds like. It has vintage vibes, it has skulls, it has flowers, these are some of my favorite things to draw so of course they are some of my favorite artistic themes in a deck. I have multiple decks on my wishlist that are just based on skeletons or plants. I love how this deck combines the two. I also like how on the elixirs, the labels on the bottles relate to the card's meaning. Additionally the jumbling of body parts in a lot of the coins suit, particularly the four of coins shown is also an aspect I like. It just looks neat to me.

The Fyodor Pavlov Tarot

This is by far my favorite deck so this section will be so so long and I'm not sorry! This is double special interest material. I'm t4t and deserve to gush about my representation damn it. So I’ve been trying to stick to 6 cards max with maybe the back of the card's pattern or box shown for these pictures, however this deck is my favorite and just too good to contain with such restrictions. I worked so hard to get this deck. I saw The Lovers card online and fell in love. The card's artwork is t4t and I'm SO t4t and so in love with just The Lovers card as an art piece in general. Anyways after I found just that card somewhere online I said a prayer that a full deck by the artist existed, and went on the hunt for it. I found it. I originally found the kickstarter, which had stopped, and after some digging found out the artist had moved the sales to Etsy. The artist was packaging small batches all on his own. I tried to get it twice off Etsy and both times it sold out immediately. The deck has now had an official release and is a lot easier to get. I preordered that newer version and waited months and months for my beloved and it was by FAR so worth it.

I love that this deck is Rider Waite based but inclusive to various experiences. This includes the minority representation, but also details like how the queen of cups is pregnant. Maybe I don't look at a lot of decks but I feel like I don't see that very often and I think details like that are cool. As you'd probably expect, the artist is queer and trans and I love that and supporting them and that kind of artwork. He's also a tattoo artist and I feel like that shows in his work. I love artwork with ink, but I'm biased, because my artwork is usually ink based. Also I already put too many cards in the picture so they're not there but shoutout to Strength and The Hermit in this deck for being women.

Basically I love this deck more than I can put into words!

The Tarot of Pagan Cats

The newest addition to my collection! This is a mini deck that makes me want about ten million more cat themed decks. When I decided to take the pictures myself for this post I added some other cards. Originally I was just gonna have The Tower though. I feel like it tells you everything you need to know. This deck is adorable and charming. The Fool makes me laugh as well as The Tower and Strength. The Lovers, as well as the two and ten of cups are just precious. The design for Death is perfect. Fuzzy, and somehow still comes across as stern. I want more cat decks!!!

(Also side note down here real quick for that one person, someone asked if I could go over how the decks personalities differ from each other but I found I was very bad at putting that into words especially in this post so that will have to be something I talk about elsewhere if I do!)

This post was about gushing and the vibes but if you guys want beginner deck recommendations, help finding a deck that fits your niche, or for me to show off my wishlist in a similar style, just ask!

Thanks for letting me gush and reading the whole post. I had such a fun time making it ❤️

Free Tarot Readings Info:

Hello! I thought it would be fun to offer some free readings. One thing you need to know is that I’m still learning, and my go-to cards are the manga and Halloween deck.

How does this work?

If you are interested in a free reading, just go to my blog and click the *Free Readings* on the page.

Because of the fact you get the reading via an ask, all readings will be publicly available.

There will be no anonymous asks as I need some idea of who the reading is for.

Also, all you really need to say is “I’m interested in a reading”. If you want to give more information you can, but I won’t answer any specific questions.

Keep in mind that you will at minimum get one card. Depending on what I am getting you may also get multiple cards.

I would also find it very helpful if you could give me some feedback.

Also, as this is not my main account, I don’t check it very often. I will try to check at least once a day; so if you request a reading and it takes me a bit, that is why.

What do I read?

As I am still learning, the type of reading I do is Fate readings. Meaning the reading will be what Fate deems you need to know. There is also a past-present-future reading I do with the rune dice. You can pick a form of reading if something is sticking out to you more than the others, but I will ultimately pick whatever I feel drawn to. Also keep in mind that as I am very much a beginner, I will summarize what the book says and add a bit of what I am feeling.

What cards do I use?

As of right now (10/25/2024) there are a few different ways I can do readings. [note: I will update this as I get more cards, so keep that in mind] •Mystical Manga Tarot

-This is currently my only tarot deck, and the first deck I ever got. If you are looking for a tarot reading, this is the only option you got.

• The Halloween Oracle

-This is my main oracle deck, thus is my go to. I say it’s pretty good if you are looking for a basic reading.

• Astral Realms Crystal Oracle

-This deck has a bunch of different crystals on it. If you get this deck, I would consider either getting or looking into what crystal card you get.

• Oracle of the Mermaids

-I like to consider this my Aphrodite deck. Whenever I want to communicate with her, these are the cards I use.

• Runes

-Technically, there are two different types of rune readings. One just being regular runes and the other being rune dice. I mainly use the rune dice to do past-present-future readings, but may use the regular runes as well.

•Charm Reading

-this is very much new to me, so I will not be doing it as it appears in the photo. If I do a charm readings (which will only be adding to a card reading) I will at random pick a few charms and go from there.

Continuing from my previous post on the Moon Goddess Oracle

Haliya*

Moon goddess? Possibly not a goddess at all. Her story comes from the same blog that is the only source for that one story about the gay Filipino moon gods. It's possible that the name survived from pre-colonial times (I found a reference to it being a name for a game people played around the full moon but I'm not sure if that's credible either).

Hecate

Moon goddess? I believe her lunar associations were a late development as she became more associated with the night and witchcraft, but she's not the Greek moon goddess.

Hina Hine*

Moon goddess? There seem to be a bunch of Hinas all over Polynesia. I checked the guidebook for the oracle to see if it refers to a particular place and it just says "Polynesian moon goddess". Wiki says she is associated with the moon in Aotearoa but I'm unsure to what extent that applies in, say, Hawaii.

Ishtar

Moon goddess? No, Ishtar is associated with Venus. The god of the moon is her father, Sin (or Suen)

Isis

Moon goddess? This is going to be controversial but I think as Isis, the syncretic goddess with the famous Roman cult you could make a case that she's kind of honored as a deity of everything (including the moon), but as the Egyptian Aset? I would say no.

Ix Chel*

Moon goddess? No (I was actually surprised by this), wikipedia actually has a whole section on how she's been confused with the moon goddess. She is associated with the earth and war. There do seem to be a few candidates for Maya moon deities: there's a male one, a young woman, a grandmother (who is also sometimes a rabbit)

Kuan Yin

Moon goddess? I think she may have lunar imagery as part of her iconography but I would not call her a moon goddess like Chang Er (also not sure if I would refer to her as a goddess, she is a bodhisattva, but I know many folks are comfortable referring to her as a goddess)

Lakshmi*

Moon goddess? I'm going to say no. At first I thought maybe this was another case of a deity having lunar iconography but I can't find any indication that this is the case. Actually, I checked the guidebook, and it actually acknowledges that she isn't a moon goddess. I guess they needed a prosperity card.

Iemanja*

Moon goddess? Yes, but her oceanic associations seem more prominent. Also I'm very annoyed by this whitewashed image (it may just be a generic mermaid that got shoehorned into representing this orisha)

Luna

Moon goddess? Yes, probably the most moon goddess in the deck
