My Self-Care Tarot Routine

Have you ever felt stuck in a cycle of knowing you need to take some time out to do some self-care but are unsure of where to start? I’ve been there. Because of this, I wanted a way that I could do something on my low energy days that I knew would absolutely make me feel better. By utilizing the Major Arcana of any of my Tarot decks, I created for myself a small guide of self-care with the help of Tarot. I encourage you to use mine or create your very own self-care guide to help you. 

Step One: Separate the major arcana out from your Tarot deck.

Step Two: Shuffle as you normally would.

Step Three: Pull one to three cards. If any of the cards are reversed, I turn them upright.

Step Four: Look up your cards with the guide and do what it suggests.

The Fool Stretch out your body.

The Magician Take a Lavender and Vanilla bubble bath or a nice long shower.

The High Priestess Eat some yummy pizza.

The Empress Do a Rose face mask or wash.

The Emperor Paint your nails.

The Hierophant Meditate with your Tarot cards.

The Lovers Sing aloud to your favorite songs.

The Chariot Bake some cookies.

Strength Make a pillow fort.

The Hermit Brew some tea.

Wheel of Fortune Make a list of wishes for the future.

Justice Write yourself a love letter about how awesome you are.

The Hanged Man Take cute and funny selfies.

Death Binge watch some new television shows on Netflix or Hulu.

Temperance Burn incense or a nice smelling candle.

The Devil Treat yourself to something nice

The Tower Color, scribble or doodle some art.

The Star Cuddle stuffed animal or pet.

The Moon Create a feel better playlist on Spotify

The Sun Go eat ice cream

Judgment Call or message a friend for support.

The World Take a long nap.

Raven and I are back from hiatus with a fun little workshop on June 26th, starting at 6pm EST.

Ever struggle to create a tarot spread? We’ve broached this topic before, but we have a fun, new, super simple technique to share with you. Sign up below to get a reminder, or mark your calendar and join us here on the 26th!

First tarot deck! Got it in a little shop while in Hungary, the salesman said it was a good deck for beginners and it comes with a little book the size of the cards which was great because my suitcase was already pretty full and I needed something I could bring back on the airplane. You can’t see it on the pictures but the sides are covered in gold and it’s really pretty and shiny.

My mom knows my aesthetic so she brought me another one of the Tarot- themed wines~ So far I’ve had the Lovers and more this one, but I’ve also seen the Fool in stores~

That’s the second time in a row that I’ve dropped the Justice card for a friend.*

***This event is not associated with Tumblr or Yahoo.*** I’ve reached..over 1000 subscribers, and I’m FINALLY able to host this! I’ve been putting things together over a month, grabbing what I can when I can, because you guys are WORTH IT. Y’all, I can’t even believe you’re still here with me. So, what can you get?

This will be an in-depth study into the Arcanum VIII, for the purposes of investigating the card itself and parsing differences between the Marseilles and Rider-Waite decks. In the Marseilles deck, this card is unnamed. The 20th Century British mystic A.E. Waite took the liberty of naming this card “Death” for his own deck, a choice which has reverberated throughout tarology and nearly every subsequent deck. 

On the left, we have the Marseilles Arcanum VIII, and on the right, the Rider-Waite Arcanum VIII. As we can see, nearly everything about the earlier Marseilles card changes in translation– we still have a field of severed bodies in either card, and a skeleton, but otherwise there is little likeness.

The difference between the 9 of Cups and the 9 of Pentacles. As always this is my take on the matter and your mileage may vary!

Nines overall are about completion. So both 9C and 9P show the fruits of their labor at the final stage. For 9P that is the stack of pentacles around the woman, the fruit on the vines behind her, and her nice fancy clothes. All signs of wealth. The 9C card shows a man in nice clothes with all of his golden cups lined up behind him to show off all his has accumulated like a shrine to his wealth.

Decomposition.

A person who is lively and graceful, yet also cunning and vengeful. This person has abandoned the stability of home in favor of the path through fire to illumination. There is an attitude of uncertainty and the possibility of a return to past ways. Regain the soul’s desire by completing the psychological tasks set by one’s own destiny.
