So what, I can't post directly from Instagram anymore? What is that. Why. You expect me to type the same thing twice in a row? I think not.

Ok I usually do, but only because I can save drafts here and not in Insta, so I have to download them from Tumblr, to my phone, then back up to Insta. What a process.

Anyways. I'm iffy about this deck.

Aries: Taroscope for Four Life Areas

ARIES - Tarot Reading for Four Life Areas

If this reading resonates with you and you'd like to book a personal reading, feel free to PM me :)

This is for Aries in Sun, Moon, Rising or Venus.

The energy you're currently in: 10 of Swords

In this context, card expresses a sense of emotional burden. Here's a quote from the Midnight Magic Tarot book: "The Ten of Swords announces that what seems like a chaotic experience might only be a natural transitional event (...) Appreciate the lessons you've learned from this hard time instead of focusing on the crisis itself."

1. Mental Sphere, Stress and Tensions: Strength + 7 of Cups + Reversed Ingwaz and Wyrd The 10 of Swords talks about this heavy burden, while the 7 of Cups indicates that you've made peace with letting go of what’s old and no longer serves you. Now, you have access to what you need for inner transformation (Strength). However, Ingwaz emphasizes the need for renewal and regeneration. Along with Strength, it highlights where you should start: within yourself. Wyrd is a rune calling you to trust fate and a Higher Power, which is reinforced by the Tower card appearing later in your spread. Trust that what is leaving your life now is doing so for your benefit. I've always seen Wyrd as a powerful rune connected to destiny, and the Tower represents divine intervention.

2. Love and Partnership: Magician + 3 of Pentacles + 10 of Wands + Page of Swords + 7 of Pentacles The first two cards indicate that your relationship is your driving force during this tough time. However, 10 of Wands and Page of Swords, as advice, say: be honest with this person about how much weight you're carrying right now. You will have the opportunity to see if your relationship is built on solid foundations. If it is, then joy awaits you, as shown by the 7 of Pentacles as the outcome.

3. Arguments and Conflicts: Reversed Wheel of Fortune + Hanged Man + Tower + 4 of Swords + King of Cups It seems like you’re in a state of waiting for some catastrophe, although this mindset is mostly due to your exhaustion. The Tower, as advice, asks you to accept that what hinders you must go. The 4 of Swords, as the outcome, promises peace, renewal of mental energy, calm, and relaxation. However, for now, you need silence and distance. The King of Cups suggests that this may relate to your relationship with your father.

4. Work and Finances: Reversed High Priestess + Reversed Page of Pentacles + Ace of Pentacles + 9 of Cups + The Emperor The High Priestess here could point to your fear of a despotic boss. Additionally, this person may not see your true potential or what you have to offer (indicated by the next two cards). The advice is the 9 of Cups, which tells you that your place is somewhere where you will be appreciated and where you’ll find joy in your professional relationships. There, professional growth, high earnings, and the realization of your true potential await you because The Emperor represents YOU, Aries (a card associated with your zodiac sign):

"The fly agaric is an iconic mushroom, usually the very image we conjure up when we think of a mushroom. They grow large and strong, and aren't afraid to flaunt their bright oranges, yellows, and reds (colors that broadcast their toxic effects to any creature who dare eat it). Like The Emperor card, the fly agaric has earned respect and can teach you a lot about control and leadership."

God of prophecy, music, and plague 𖤓°⋆.ೃ࿔*:･𖤓°⋆.ೃ࿔*:･𖤓°⋆.ೃ࿔*:･

I was supposed to post this Sunday but got caught up with stuff so here's a midnight rundown on my relationship to Apollo ;-;

Apollo began showing up around a month after I began my worship to Aphrodite. I was afraid at first. Not of him, but of the idea of worshipping another deity. In the past, I had only ever worshipped one at a time. As a neurodivergent person I was also afraid that my relationship to Aphrodite was just a hyperfixation since I had been playing Hades a lot.

The thought of worshipping Apollo only further worried me. I wanted to assure Aphrodite that she wasn't;t a mere hyperfixation and that she would not be forgotten. The first time I tried to communicate with Apollo via tarot cards, Aphrodite showed up instead and voiced her concerns.

She was afraid that I'd abandon her and forget about her. I knew where this was coming from because I had told her about Hades. Early 2023 I had begun worshipping Hades but after about a month and a half it became too much for me to continue and I kind of just stopped my worship and never went back. I had felt so bad but worship can be so draining sometimes.

Anyways, after reassuring Aphrodite many times I believed I had the okay to begin doing proper research on Apollo before reaching out to him. What interested me about him is his Lo'xias epithet, meaning god of prophecy or messenger of Zeus. I was so drawn to it because throughout my entire life I have always had crazy intuition and predictions.

At first I chalked up to the fact that I'm autistic and can recognize patterns really well. Specifically, I take "data" I've collected about a situation or people and use it to make predictions about what will happen or what they'll do. But, too often did I predict something and it actually happened in a scarily accurate manner. There have been multiple times that it's felt as though I've actually spoken things into existence. For example, while I was ranting to my sister about someone who had talked major shit about me and I said that (for the sake of privacy I will not describe what I said) this specific scenario was going to happen to them. I said it out of anger and in passing but that very weekend exactly the thing that I said would happen to them HAPPENED.

With tarot cards, especially, my readings are always insanely accurate. Even my sister, who is not a believer in anything that I do, is wary about my readings because she knows that whatever the cards say will happen will actually happen. Furthermore, when I first moved to college I had visited a metaphysical store with my cousin and there the owner overheard me say that it had been so long since I had really done tarot that I probably couldn't ever do it again. And she said to me "tarot reading is like riding a bike, you learn once and never forget. She then brought out her own personal oracle cards and had me do a reading on her and her husband. She wanted me to use the cards to tell them who they are. According to them, everything I had said was more than true.

With Apollo, I thought I could use his help to groom and cultivate this proclivity of mine.

After having properly reached out to him, I've come to the realization that I love more than just his prophetic aspect. I stated in my previous post that I had been struggling due to a situation that occurred earlier in the school semester. Even when I was back home, I was struggling with panic attacks and bouts of major anxiety. What always helped, however, was taking my dogs out on their walk and feeling Apollo's rays of sunshine beaming down on me.

Every single time I stepped out of the house-heart racing, hands shaking, ears ringing-suddenly it would all melt away into nothingness the second I felt the sun on my face, enveloping my person, weaving its heat through my curls and over my ears. Even if it had been storming, when the time came to walk the dogs, the sky would magically become clear enough to allow the sun to shine through.

Eventually, I started keeping the tarot cards I dedicated to Apollo under my pillow and asking him to visit me in my dreams. The first night I saw a beautiful, swirling ball of light above my bed, with orange and yellow flares coming out of it. The second night, however, I woke up in a dream. I was in the back of this van sitting next to this man. He looked young with beautiful, black curls. He had his arm wrapped around me and my head rested on his shoulder.

I remember him feeling so warm. He felt like home. He felt like snuggling up under the covers in a cold room. And I just lay there, hands holding his, watching the scenery of the drive we were on. I woke up that morning with the sun shining on my face, clearly attempting to wake me up.

I've heard a lot of people say that Apollo feels like a golden retriever boyfriend or nice frat boy. And while I respect that everyone's experiences with deities is different, Apollo to me feels like some guardian. Maybe an older brother or a father or an uncle. I think people expect Apollo to be boyish and naive because he's always been described as a young thing. We forget that he is just as wise, if not more, as his cousins and aunts and uncles.

Praise Apollo, averter of evil, dark-haired, messenger of zeus!

♡ 𝐂𝐔𝐏𝐈𝐃’𝐒 𝐀𝐁𝐒𝐎𝐋𝐔𝐓𝐄 𝐅𝐀𝐕𝐎𝐑𝐈𝐓𝐄 ♡

𝐄𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐫𝐞𝐚𝐥 𝐁𝐞𝐚𝐮𝐭𝐲 ✧ 𝒯𝒽𝑒 𝒦𝒾𝓃𝒹 𝒯𝒽𝒶𝓉 𝐹𝑒𝑒𝓁𝓈 𝐿𝒾𝓀𝑒 𝒜 𝒮𝓅𝑒𝓁𝓁

You’re the type of beauty people can’t explain—like a dream they wake up from too soon, leaving them breathless, aching for just one more glimpse. It’s not just about looks; it’s the way you move, the way your expression shifts like a soft melody, the way your presence lingers long after you’ve left. You don’t try to be mesmerizing—you just are.

𝐌𝐚𝐠𝐧𝐞𝐭𝐢𝐜 𝐀𝐮𝐫𝐚 ✧ 𝒜 𝐹𝑜𝓇𝒸𝑒 𝒯𝒽𝑒𝓎 𝒞𝒶𝓃’𝓉 𝐸𝓈𝒸𝒶𝓅𝑒

You walk in, and the air changes. Eyes flicker toward you, conversations falter, and hearts stumble over their own rhythm. There’s an unspoken pull—like gravity but sweeter, like fate but more dangerous. Even those who try to resist can’t help but fall under your spell.

𝐃𝐞𝐯𝐚𝐬𝐭𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐖𝐢𝐭 ✧ 𝒯𝒽𝑒 𝑀𝒾𝓃𝒹 𝒯𝒽𝒶𝓉 𝑀𝒶𝓀𝑒𝓈 𝒯𝒽𝑒𝓂 𝒮𝓉𝒶𝓎

Pretty faces turn heads, but your mind turns souls. You say things that stick, words that wrap around their thoughts like velvet, teasing them long after you’ve gone. Whether it’s the way you weave words like poetry or how you effortlessly turn the mundane into magic, they’re left wanting more.

𝐒𝐞𝐝𝐮𝐜𝐭𝐢𝐯𝐞 𝐌𝐲𝐬𝐭𝐞𝐫𝐲 ✧ 𝒥𝓊𝓈𝓉 𝒪𝓊𝓉 𝑜𝒻 𝑅𝑒𝒶𝒸𝒽

You’re like the last page of an unfinished novel, the love story that keeps them up at night wondering what if? You don’t give everything away—you leave spaces in the story, just enough for them to dream, to chase, to ache. People don’t just want to know you; they want to solve you.

𝐄𝐟𝐟𝐨𝐫𝐭𝐥𝐞𝐬𝐬 𝐀𝐥𝐥𝐮𝐫𝐞 ✧ 𝒯𝒽𝑒 𝒞𝓇𝓊𝓈𝒽 𝒯𝒽𝒶𝓉 𝒩𝑒𝓋𝑒𝓇 𝒟𝒾𝑒𝓈

A glance from you is enough to set someone’s heart racing. A fleeting smile? That’s all it takes to turn their day into something they’ll replay like a favorite song. Even when you’re gone, you’re still there—in the back of their mind, in the warmth of a memory, in the sigh of a hopeless romantic.

𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐃𝐚𝐲𝐝𝐫𝐞𝐚𝐦 ✧ 𝒯𝒽𝑒 𝒪𝓃𝑒 𝒯𝒽𝑒𝓎’𝓁𝓁 𝒩𝑒𝓋𝑒𝓇 𝐹𝑜𝓇𝑔𝑒𝓉

You’re not just a person—you’re an experience. Something about you feels like a stolen moment, a golden hour glow, the taste of something sweet and forbidden. You make people wish they could freeze time, relive every second, hold onto you just a little longer.

𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐄𝐜𝐡𝐨 𝐨𝐟 𝐘𝐨𝐮 ✧ 𝒯𝒽𝑒 𝒢𝒽𝑜𝓈𝓉 𝒾𝓃 𝒯𝒽𝑒𝒾𝓇 𝐻𝑒𝒶𝓇𝓉

Long after you’ve left the room, you remain. They’ll hear your laughter in a song, catch a glimpse of your silhouette in a stranger, feel the ghost of your touch when the wind brushes their skin. You’re not just a crush—you’re a haunting.

𝐋𝐨𝐯𝐞 𝐋𝐞𝐭𝐭𝐞𝐫𝐬 𝐓𝐡𝐞𝐲 𝐍𝐞𝐯𝐞𝐫 𝐒𝐞𝐧𝐭 ✧ 𝒯𝒽𝑒 𝐼𝓃𝓈𝓅𝒾𝓇𝒶𝓉𝒾𝑜𝓃 𝐵𝑒𝒽𝒾𝓃𝒹 𝒯𝒽𝑒𝒾𝓇 𝒟𝑒𝑒𝓅𝑒𝓈𝓉 𝒟𝑒𝓈𝒾𝓇𝑒𝓈

You’re the muse behind the midnight confessions they never had the courage to say. The scribbled poetry in the margins of their notebook, the whispered name in the dark. People don’t just like you—they worship you in quiet, unspoken ways.

𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐓𝐡𝐮𝐧𝐝𝐞𝐫𝐬𝐭𝐨𝐫𝐦 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐂𝐚𝐥𝐦 ✧ 𝒯𝒽𝑒 𝐹𝑒𝑒𝓁𝒾𝓃𝑔 𝒯𝒽𝑒𝓎 𝒞𝒶𝓃’𝓉 𝒮𝒽𝒶𝓀𝑒

You are both the rush of a first kiss and the warmth of a lover’s embrace. The exhilarating high and the soothing lull. You make people feel everything, and once they’ve felt you, there’s no going back.

𝐂𝐮𝐩𝐢𝐝’𝐬 𝐀𝐛𝐬𝐨𝐥𝐮𝐭𝐞 𝐅𝐚𝐯𝐨𝐫𝐢𝐭𝐞 ✧ 𝒯𝒽𝑒 𝐿𝑒𝑔𝑒𝓃𝒹 𝑜𝒻 𝐿𝑜𝓋𝑒 𝐼𝓉𝓈𝑒𝓁𝒻

You aren’t just someone’s crush. You’re the myth, the legend, the story that gets retold over and over, growing sweeter with time. You make people believe in love like it’s a religion, a miracle, a wish on a shooting star.

𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐒𝐢𝐥𝐞𝐧𝐭 𝐒𝐩𝐞𝐥𝐥 ✧ 𝒯𝒽𝑒 𝒪𝓃𝑒 𝒲𝒽𝑜 𝒮𝓉𝒶𝓎𝓈 𝒲𝒾𝓉𝒽𝑜𝓊𝓉 𝒯𝓇𝓎𝒾𝓃𝑔

You don’t have to be loud to be noticed. There’s a quiet magic about you—something in the way you move, the way you listen, the way you exist so effortlessly. People don’t realize they’re falling for you until it’s too late, and by then, you’ve already taken up space in their mind like a favorite song on repeat.

𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐃𝐞𝐥𝐢𝐜𝐚𝐭𝐞 𝐃𝐚𝐧𝐠𝐞𝐫 ✧ 𝒮𝓌𝑒𝑒𝓉 𝐵𝓊𝓉 𝒰𝓃𝓉𝑜𝓊𝒸𝒽𝒶𝒷𝓁𝑒

There’s a softness to you, but don’t be mistaken—you’re not easy to have. You’re the definition of desirable yet unattainable. You make people feel special with just a glance, but deep down, they know not just anyone gets close to you. That’s what makes them ache for you even more.

𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐌𝐨𝐨𝐧𝐥𝐢𝐭 𝐌𝐲𝐬𝐭𝐞𝐫𝐲 ✧ 𝒯𝒽𝑒 𝒪𝓃𝑒 𝒯𝒽𝑒𝓎 𝒞𝒶𝓃’𝓉 𝒬𝓊𝒾𝓉𝑒 𝐹𝒾𝑔𝓊𝓇𝑒 𝒪𝓊𝓉

You’re the lingering question, the unfinished chapter, the puzzle they can’t solve. You give just enough to keep them hooked, but not enough to be predictable. You exist in whispers, in stolen moments, in the spaces between certainty and longing. And that’s what makes you impossible to forget.

𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐃𝐞𝐯𝐢𝐥𝐢𝐬𝐡 𝐒𝐦𝐢𝐫𝐤 ✧ 𝒯𝒽𝑒 𝒪𝓃𝑒 𝒲𝒽𝑜 𝒫𝓁𝒶𝓎𝓈 𝒲𝒾𝓉𝒽 𝒯𝒽𝑒𝒾𝓇 𝐻𝑒𝒶𝓇𝓉𝓈

A little playful, a little teasing—you know the effect you have on people, and you don’t mind making them sweat a little. You drop hints, you laugh at the right moments, you know when to hold eye contact just a second too long. You don’t just make people fall for you—you make them chase you.

𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐄𝐩𝐡𝐞𝐦𝐞𝐫𝐚𝐥 𝐃𝐚𝐲𝐝𝐫𝐞𝐚𝐦 ✧ 𝐻𝑒𝓇𝑒 𝒪𝓃𝑒 𝑀𝑜𝓂𝑒𝓃𝓉, 𝐻𝒶𝓊𝓃𝓉𝒾𝓃𝑔 𝓉𝒽𝑒 𝒩𝑒𝓍𝓉

You don’t just come into people’s lives—you drift in like a dream and leave them wondering if you were ever real. Even after you’re gone, your presence lingers in the way they sigh when they hear your favorite song, in the way they glance at a crowd hoping to see you just one more time.

𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐄𝐧𝐜𝐡𝐚𝐧𝐭𝐞𝐫’𝐬 𝐓𝐨𝐮𝐜𝐡 ✧ 𝐸𝓋𝑒𝓇𝓎 𝐼𝓃𝓉𝑒𝓇𝒶𝒸𝓉𝒾𝑜𝓃 𝐿𝑒𝒶𝓋𝑒𝓈 𝒜 𝑀𝒶𝓇𝓀

Your words? Laced with meaning. Your presence? Magnetic. Your touch? Just the right mix of warmth and mystery. Whether it’s a passing brush of your fingers or a lingering gaze, every little thing you do has a way of sticking to people’s souls like poetry.

𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐃𝐫𝐞𝐚𝐦 𝐓𝐡𝐞𝐲 𝐖𝐢𝐬𝐡 𝐖𝐚𝐬 𝐑𝐞𝐚𝐥 ✧ 𝒯𝒽𝑒 𝐹𝒶𝓃𝓉𝒶𝓈𝓎 𝒯𝒽𝑒𝓎 𝒞𝒶𝓃’𝓉 𝐸𝓈𝒸𝒶𝓅𝑒

You don’t just belong in reality—you exist in people’s imaginations. They picture you in the rain, in candle-lit rooms, in slow dances under city lights. You’re the character in their unwritten novel, the face they see in their dreams, the what if they’ll never stop wondering about.

𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐄𝐜𝐡𝐨 𝐢𝐧 𝐓𝐡𝐞𝐢𝐫 𝐌𝐢𝐧𝐝 ✧ 𝒯𝒽𝑒 𝒯𝒽𝑜𝓊𝑔𝒽𝓉 𝒯𝒽𝒶𝓉 𝒲𝑜𝓃’𝓉 𝐹𝒶𝒹𝑒

Long after they’ve met you, your name still tastes sweet on their tongue. Your voice still lingers in their ears. They replay conversations, reread messages, stare at the ceiling at night, wondering if you ever think about them the way they think about you.

𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐅𝐚𝐭𝐞𝐝 𝐄𝐧𝐜𝐨𝐮𝐧𝐭𝐞𝐫 ✧ 𝒯𝒽𝑒 𝒪𝓃𝑒 𝒲𝒽𝑜 𝐹𝑒𝑒𝓁𝓈 𝐿𝒾𝓀𝑒 𝒟𝑒𝓈𝓉𝒾𝓃𝓎

It doesn’t matter if they believe in fate or not���when they meet you, it feels like the universe whispered your name in their ear. Every moment with you feels like a cosmic alignment, like something bigger than themselves is at play. They can’t explain it, but they feel it.

𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐋𝐨𝐯𝐞 𝐓𝐡𝐞𝐲’𝐥𝐥 𝐍𝐞𝐯𝐞𝐫 𝐅𝐨𝐫𝐠𝐞𝐭 ✧ 𝒯𝒽𝑒 𝒞𝒽𝒶𝓅𝓉𝑒𝓇 𝒯𝒽𝒶𝓉 𝒩𝑒𝓋𝑒𝓇 𝒞𝓁𝑜𝓈𝑒𝓈

Some people fade away. But you? You become a permanent bookmark in someone’s story. Years will pass, seasons will change, but whenever they hear your name, their heart will still skip a beat. You are not just a memory—you are the love they measure all others against.

Cupid never misses. especially when it comes to you, He aims straight for the heart. ˚₊· ͟͟͞͞➳❥

– A wish come true

new year's tarot pick a pile reading ( → 1, 2, 3 )

pictures from pinterest → one, two, three

At the midnight of the new year... There are a lot of whishes that cross our mind. And even more of them stay hidden, silently, somewhere in our heart... But which one of them will be granted to you this year? Which is the one that your soul wanted or needed more, enough to allow it to manifest into this world?

This is our third and last message for the beginning of this new year… A somewhat magical ending, with a glimpse of what we will be able to create and gift ourselves, through the connection of our subconscious and conscious mind. Because it is true that when wish for something', we whisper it out, into this world, hoping that someone will hear and help us... But we are the first ones to listen to ourselves. We are the ones that start to create and guide us through our reality, right to that dream that we expressed.

So take a moment. Breathe. And follow your gaze to the pile that attracts you more. The one that hides a message for you, about something that will be soon and finally yours.

{P.s. What pile did you choose? ♡ Let me know ~}

– Pile One,

the book: the eight and the nine of cups

This year… will be the one of transformation. Of pure and powerful growth of your persona, and of the world around you that will rush to keep up with you and all the possibilities you will discover for you.

One little thing, one little detail… And it’s like you open your eyes for the first time. Seeing your reality so differently. Almost like your perception of it, just a mere second ago, was only your imagination. The limits, the obstacles… all gone. Just like that. Just because you found that right spot from which to look at it, discovering all at once the alternative paths that were always there, so hidden and never used.

Changing place, career or studies… it will not be a scary and silent desire anymore. It won’t be a fantasy to lull you at night. It will be overwhelmingly real, but beautiful. And possible. All thanks to your patience and hard work. All thanks to your dedication and tender grip you had on this dream, never letting it go, no matter how difficult it seemed to bring it into this world.

You will make it out of this cage of circumstances. But without any rush or guilt for leaving everything and running away, hearing the disappointing or judgemental voices of others behind your back. No, you will do it the right way. The one that will satisfy both them and your mind. You will do it so no one ever doubts it, your decisions… You will do it by taking care first of what you have now, so you won't ever have regret about your choice.

It will take some time indeed, to finish up this journey first, to conclude at least one of its phases, to keep under control that impatience and at times frustration of wanting to move on… But it will not seem so long once you will do it. Once you will focus on it, this time knowing clearly why you are doing it, and without feeling pressured and forced for the first time in so long.

You will just do it. Achieve what you can, what is enough for you, and then you'll move forward, but on a different path.

It will be quite an adventure, the one you will live this year. But it won't be rushed or difficult. It will be clear and flexible. An adventure that will seem to be already so well written, leaving to you only the most fun and easy part of enjoying it, following the flow and plot of it.

{ ♡ }

– Pile Two,

the ship: the eight of wands and the knight of cups

So much movement… So many things to plan, to check and to control. So many stuff to consider and to take care of as you go further… It really is overwhelming. Even if this change and progress was something that you wanted and worked on for so long. It still doesn’t really prepare you, desiring it or thinking about it, to the reality of what change is. The fast pace, the little time to breathe, the way things become completely different from one night to another, needing much more attention from you, than when they only were in the dreams you visited when you wanted. It is demanding, consuming, and it is not linear at all. It is so fast one moment, and then the other everything stops. Making you wait days, months, sometimes even years… Not giving you time to react and adapt, and once you somehow do it, not allowing you to put in practice what you prepared.

It was happening already for quite some time. Becoming the manifestation of your frustration, rather than a dream come true, the thing you wanted and hoped for so long… But finally things seem to calm down a little, as there is less and less to do and organise. And more free moments for you to just stop, look around, and see that you are finally here, exactly where you pictured yourself so many times. Where you can realise that it wasn't a mistake after all, like you started to think amids all that confusion and movement that you didn't expect in your dreams. And that it indeed was just a phase, just the beginning of a journey for which this year you will be ready for finally.

You will have more time and space, in the end. Exactly like you imagined it. That freedom, that peace, that space to grow and experience new things. Learning again to enjoy this journey, to remember why you wanted it so much, and letting go of the stress and confusion that this preparation overwhelmed you with.

You will make out of it, victorious. Holding in your hands the reality that you created all by yourself. Complete, real, exactly like you wanted it to be.

{ ♡ }

– Pile Three,

the stork: the six of cups and the ace of coins

They are so heavy… those things, people, situations from the past. The ones that became pure burden, slowing you down so much, distracting you, calling your mind and heart every single time you try to start anew. They are so persistent, even when they are only a memory, that is ridiculous, just how much power something can have over you… So much that in this desperation and frustration you started to think that it was you, who was still holding onto it, who was bringing it back alive from the past.

But it wasn't really you, at least not only. It was simply all that reminded of it to you, triggered you, in such a painfully familiar way. And there wasn't anything wrong in the fact that you couldn't just ignore it like so many suggested.

You needed your time, and you took it for yourself. Even if it wasn't always so easy or exactly like you wanted… you still gave yourself that space needed to heal and fully process all that happened. Enough to clear things out, find answers, context and explanations, even if you are the only one aware of them, even if they will never listen or express their perspective on what happened. It was still enough for you. For that you of the past that felt like things never really ended, because of how many things remained untold and so strange. You helped yourself. You ended things, concluded them, even the ones that should've been taken care of by those who walked away. But you freed yourself.

And with this new peace, new understanding and acceptance, you will start to welcome in all those things that you wanted but couldn't reach. They will come to you on their own, naturally, seeing that now you are truly ready to live a new phase of your journey.

It will be simply easier this year. Taking the opportunities, making choices, trying things, working on them and achieving. Because there won't be nothing heavy on your heart, nothing overwhelming your mind. Not the past. Not the regret or silent and contained rage. There will be just you, who left it all behind. Being now able to fully open your wings and take flight.

One seemingly little thing will influence and change so much. In all areas of your life. That will start to evolve and bloom into something more, in those desires that for so long you were forced to keep just in your heart, daydreaming about a chance to live a different life.

[holybibly]

Bunnies, I'm in a good mood today, so I'm going to give you a little teaser of my upcoming work with Hwa. I'm going to raise the bar for fanfic writing by creating the most gothic and decadent universe possible. It's a vicious mix of Interview with the Vampire and Dracula, so if you don't like bloody luxury, I feel so sorry for you.

It has always been like this, and it will always be like this—people avoid the village that stands beside the sinister Gothic castle where, according to legend, a beautiful midnight somnambulist holds the guilty legacy of his bloodthirsty ancestors. Dressed in an ancient coronation robe, the magnificent prince of vampires sits alone in his dark, vast house, under the watchful eye of his mad and terrible ancestors, who stare at him from faded portraits, each of them prolonging their dreary posthumous existence through him. He spreads the tarot cards, tirelessly constructing endless constellations of indeterminate possibilities, as if a chance fall of cards on a regal, bloody velvet tablecloth could take him out of this cold, shuttered room and into a land of eternal summer and human warmth, erasing his heart's ancient sadness and allowing him to feel the love for the one who embodies both life and death simultaneously.

His voice is full of the distant echoes of long-forgotten love poems, like an echo that has resounded beneath the layers of the earth: "You have traveled to a place from which there is no return; you have traveled to a place from which there is no return. And he himself is like a dark dungeon filled with lonely echoes—a system of repetition, a closed circle. He is so handsome that his beauty appears unnatural; his beauty is an anomaly, a perfect defect, for in none of his hypnotic features is there even a suggestion of the poignant imperfection manifested in the imperfection of human existence. His beauty is the sign of a fatal disease; his blood is full of poison; and his black tears are the sign of the absence of a soul in him. 

The elegant hands of the beautiful denizens of darkness are the guides of the hand of fate. The nails on his hands are long and sharpened like steel daggers. These nails and teeth—beautiful, glistening in the darkness like snow under the light of the moon—are visible signs of his inescapable fate, which he so desperately tries to escape with magical powers. His claws and teeth have been honed by centuries of brutal wars and bloody orgies; he is the last descendant of a poisonous, barren tree that took root in a time when men worshipped blind gods and the forces of nature. 

As soon as the flaming sun sets, he rises from his luxurious bed and goes to the table, and sitting at that table, he plays his patient game until hunger awakens in him—an insatiable, scorching hunger that burns his whole being. 

[miss-tilney-tarot]

Hello, I'm C. May i ask for a free reading please? I wanted to know if I'll get any opportunity in near future to meet NEW people? I'm at a stage in my life where I don't really get to meet anyone new, just generally speaking. I was wondering if I could make some new friends? Thanks a lot for the opportunity 🙏

Thank you for requesting a reading!

You are at a stage where you just experienced a period of change, and you are settling into what this new stage looks like, looking back at what you had. Before you can move forwards into the new, take time to reflect and even grieve the past.

Just from me, this is such a relatable question and I'm definitely going through that too 🩷

All vie for dominance over their fantastical world, thinking themselves to be as close to immortal as could be. But the question of what exactly they are remains elusive.

Magic drips from their fingertips: control over the sins that rule each of their lives. With fates and visions spinning through their minds, each of the Sins grapple violently with the questions of their purpose.

How far will they go to search for the truth? Maiming and torturing, fucking and fighting, killing for a single word from a silent goddess.

And how can they expect to maintain allies when only one can live in the end?

What began as a simple roleplay has spiralled into a sprawling, character-driven tale...

The Divination witch ✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨

In shadows deep, where moonlight weaves,

A witch of lore her magic breathes.

With eyes like stars, and hair of night,

She calls upon the ancient rite.

In forest's heart, beneath the trees,

She feels the whisper of the breeze.

Her hands outstretched, she seeks the signs,

In nature's code, the stars align.

Her cauldron bubbles, secrets swirl,

As midnight mist begins to curl.

The tarot cards, they tell a tale,

Of love, of loss, of futures pale.

With crystal ball, she peers through time,

To worlds unseen, to dreams that climb.

The past and present intertwine,

In threads of fate, her soul's design.

She reads the runes, their symbols stark,

In twilight’s glow, in ember’s spark.

The fire speaks, the water sings,

Of endless realms, and hidden things.

Through realms of shadow, light, and shade,

She dances in the truths displayed.

A witch of vision, pure and wise,

She sees beyond the veiled disguise.

For she is more than myths and lore,

A guardian of what came before.

In every glance, in every spell,

She holds the keys to Heaven and Hell.

So when you seek what lies ahead,

The paths unknown, the roads to tread,

Find her where the night is deep,

The witch who dreams while others sleep.

any ttrpgs for spooky dark boarding school stories? gotham academy, the boarding school: las cumbres, wednesday, that kinda thing?

THEME: Dark Boarding Schools

Hello there, at first I felt like this overlapped with all of my magic school recommendations, but once I did some digging, I realized that there's a lot of big differences! That also means that there was a good number of games I haven't recommended before, so I hope there's something here that fits what you're looking for.

Tangled Blessings, by Cassi Mothwin.

On the eve of your final exam at Brackroot Academy, what mysteries, secrets, dread, and drama will you recall from your last four years of schooling?

Tangled Blessings is a solo journaling or two-player RPG inspired by dark academia media, ghost stories, and graduate school. Featuring a wizarding college, wandering specters, assigned houses, curses, devils’ bargains and more supernatural flavor, Tangled Blessings blends horror and the fantastical to help players craft a story that spans their time at the academy — culminating in one final showdown against their rival.

If your favorite stories ever involved sneaking around an ancient building, uncovering dangerous secrets, studying in a dusty library, practicing spells on the lawn, or making perilous deals with creatures lurking in the darkness… This game is for you.

Tangled Blessings is a game about discovering the dark secrets hidden behind the allure of a secret magical world. You use a tarot deck to determine your character’s placement at the school, the nature of their rival, and the ghosts and creatures that will emerge throughout your years at the school. Each year is represented by a series of card draws, which will represent events that you have to decide how you respond to. If you play this game using the 2-player variant, each of you will play each-other’s rivals, comparing your results to see how the school year affects the both of you. The game culminates in a Final Exam that will determine whether you or or rival comes out on top.

St. Hornbeck, by belsaas.

Welcome to St. Hornbeck College/

Atop a small hill in the woods just outside the small town of Southfield, WI sits a College. Old, copper-rimmed limestone buildings huddle together against the harsh winters, while herds of students wander between them in search of wisdom, kinship and the occasional party. Soon, those herds of students will include you. There are two main reasons for enrolling at St. Hornbeck. Firstly, they have a leading program in the field you want to major in (yes, whatever you may choose). Secondly, there are only a handful of colleges that accept monster-teens in America…

This game relies on traditional teenage tropes to inform your character background, and leans fully into the allegory of monstrosity being a metaphor for young adulthood. Gameplay occurs over a series of scenes, marking various days in the calendar of the school year. In each scene, you can roll for or choose complications related to your monstrosity as a way to invite tension and obstacles for your characters to overcome. If you want to see something that’s a bit darker, you might want to check out this game’s inspiration, by snagging Midnight Oil from Jay Dragon’s Patreon.

Lost Years, by Summerwood Games.

The boarding school in this game is any boarding school, every boarding school. The walls are old stone or red brick, the dormitories are filled with young people going through the agonizing process of becoming themselves, classrooms retrofitted with ceiling tiles and modern lighting.

There are spaces of this school that belong only to us students, sacred rites performed in them that mean nothing to others and everything to us. We smoke cigarettes in the basement, make out in the tack room, make meaningful eye contact across the cricket pitch. I will tell you two truths and a lie: no one can take these years from us, none of us will be the same when we leave, no class will teach us more than we learn from one another. Can you see now which one is the lie? We couldn’t.

Lost Years is a Belonging Outside Belonging game set in a boarding school menaced by a mysterious force that threatens to empty the students of everything that makes them themselves. Meant for 3-5 players, it can be played as a one-shot but is most suited for multi-session play. 

Lost Years looks to be a game that focuses on the emotional highs and lows of being a teenager trying to survive in a strange environment away from the eyes of their parents - but still under the control of some form of authority. Your characters will fill the roles of various tropes from boarding school media, such as the Sporty One, or the Witchy One.

Because this game is BoB, the school itself will fill the foreground, with various locations such as the Attic and the Greenhouse being fleshed out by different players around the table. If you want a game that focuses on the themes of dark academia and how they affect the relationships of these students, you might want to check out Lost Years.

Never & More, by Small Stories.

NEVER & MORE is a quick-play roleplaying game and Edgar Allan Poe-inspired hack of John Harper's Lasers & Feelings.

You are the newest recruits of The Society of Ushers, an occult secret society. Your mission is to prove yourself to your superiors, master the rituals required to move up a rung, and learn how to talk to ravens. Your direct superior and teacher, the Belfry-Devil, has finally deemed you suitable to circulate by yourselves amongst greater society, trusting you to remain faithful to the Ushers in the face of attempted poaching, targeted seduction, and superior parties.

This isn’t necessarily a game about academia, but I think it carries similar elements of learning, dark secrets, and hierarchy. Lasers and Feelings games balance your characters between two qualities; in this case, you are torn between your desire for safety and your hunger for knowledge. You can play this as a one-shot or draw it out if you like, just keep in mind that these types of games usually don’t have resources for character advancement, so your characters won’t gain any new abilities - although whether or not they learn from their mistakes is up to you.

Precarious Prep, by Seaworks.

Welcome to Precarious Prep.

Something dark is going on at Precarious Preparatory School, and one detective - your GM - needs somebody on the inside. In the daytime you'll take classes, get to know the students and faculty, figure out who you can trust. The better you do in class, the faster you'll level up. At night you'll investigate the campus, search for clues, and unlock puzzles. Report your discoveries to the detective to gain points.

Instead of having 6 universal stats, Precarious Prep uses a curriculum - the stats your character takes on are determined by the course load you pick up each trimester. The better you do in classes, the more firepower you’ll have in your investigations. Classes can be fully relevant, partially relevant, or irrelevant to the checks you need to make throughout the game, so coordinate with your team and round out your education with a variety of skills.

Precarious Prep uses something called Discovery Points to indicate how close your students are to revealing what exactly is going on at this preparatory school. Your characters use the things they are learning in class to investigate the mystery, while trying to avoid generating enough suspicion to get them kicked out. Many of the rules strive to generate a number of different gambles that the players can take while trying to gather information - will you do something that increases your chances of success while also increasing your chances of getting expelled? Can you get enough information before the school year ends - or before one of you gets killed?

This game is still in open beta, which means it’s free, but also that it might still have some kinks that need to be worked out. The designer is very eager for feedback, so if you take a look at this game, you might be able to contribute to the final product!

Spirit-

Because spirit is not tangible, its correspondences differ from those of the physical components. Planets, tools, and other objects may be associated with it by various systems, although these associations are significantly less standardised than those of the other four elements. The element of spirit has various names. The most popular are spirit, ether or aether, and quintessence, which is Latin for "fifth element."

There is no universal symbol for spirit, however circles are prevalent. Eight-spoked wheels and spirals are also used to symbolise spirit. Spirit connects the physical and spiritual realms. In cosmological conceptions, the spirit is the intermediary substance between the physical and heavenly realms. Within the microcosm, the spirit serves as the link between the body and the soul.

Invoke your god or goddess. This can be accomplished by looking into their correspondences and making sacrifices or burning suitable incense, for example. If you discover a chant you enjoy, you may utilise it as well, or focus on this god, welcoming the message they wish to convey to you.

Practice divination! This is one of the most effective techniques to connect with the spiritual dimension. It allows you to bypass your conscious mind, which sometimes prevents us from receiving subconscious instructions. Whether you use tarot, a pendulum, or runes, calling on spirit or a specific god can help you connect with this element while performing divination.

Keep a dream notebook. We frequently receive messages in our sleep that we quickly forget unless we write them down. When we sleep, our conscious mind is not functioning, leaving us more receptive to receiving messages from Spirit. To interpret the dreams, become familiar with common symbolism and interpret them instinctively.

Draw, paint, or colour a mandala. This is a style of meditation derived from the Buddhist and Hindu practices of Tantra. Mandalas became popular in the New Age movement after Carl Jung presented them as a tool to examine the subconscious, and they can now be found almost anywhere, including adult colouring books.
