* it's with a lot of guilt i'm doing to say the previous 2 free readings i owed are not going to be completed. i've been going through a lot of health issues, and i don't want to insincerely do a reading that i'm not putting my complete heart and dedication into. thank you for understanding. i'm going to reopen paid and free readings with a disclaimer that it may take me a while to get to them. i'm talking days, weeks, maybe months. until my health issues resolve, activity on this blog is going to be very unpredictable. as always, please look at my pinned in full before ordering a free or paid reading - it shows what i can do and my terms and conditions for performing a reading for you.

hello anonymous! thank you so much for the patience with getting this reading done. it does cover some heavy topics, so please take care of yourself while reading.

hello again! here's the remainder of your reading, thank you again for your donation and i hope this is enlightening for you!

the location houses (yourself, place and timeline, vices, fears).

cards drawn: the commander reversed, the pathfinder reversed, the romantic, four of lotuses.

the cards indicate that you were a leader of sorts, but you weren't liked by everyone. you were stubborn, and defined by that stubbornness - and in a lot of the places where you resided, you felt suffocated and controlled. you were a spirit that wanted anything but that, you longed for freedom endlessly, and a place to truly soar. you were convinced a lot of the time that your heart was always telling you the truth, especially when it came to decision-making. some other entities admired this, some saw it as childish and stubborn. you were very set in your own ways, which would have been a result from what we talked about in the previous post. ironically, what you feared the most was your heart being ripped, torn, broken. it was the only thing you felt you could rely on, especially to stay around and remain loyal. you feared losing touch with your heart.

the unknown houses (faith, illusions, changes, judgements).

cards drawn: ace of lotuses reversed, eight of embers, five of embers reversed, two of embers.

these cards indicate that you were not a religious entity. you were someone who longed for deeper meanings, but ultimately, could not find them whenever you looked. so thus, you grounded yourself in the real world - what grew, and what survived. you were fueled by fear at times, and sometimes that meant your heart guided you incorrectly - you felt like you needed to act quickly to certain instances, and that would bring you the distaste of those around you. you had good intentions, but not everyone realised that. they wished to give you new perspectives, but you didn't always listen.

the earth house (achievements).

card drawn: ace of embers.

hello, firstly thank you for your generous donation and equally thank you for your patience surrounding the time this long reading took to complete. i have tried my hardest to delve into the cards and your past life as efficiently as i was able.

disclaimer: i do not practice karma, but this deck does have a card associated with karma to present challenges that have extended into current life. i was not aware of this prior to purchasing. i do not condone the appropriation of karma, and completely believe that you cannot separate it from its original context.

death (how and/or where you died).

card drawn: dreamworld (reversed).

the dreamworld is the one "major arcana" (i say that loosely as this is an oracle) that is not included in the layout of this spread. it's interesting that the single remaining major card was what was drawn for this - i believe it is to highlight that you died in the astral. it signifies a death of the spirit, rather than a death of the body. perhaps your spirit was the first to rot and perish in a place that was dreamlike and ethereal - but this begs the question, did you have a body to begin with? i'm getting a pull towards the notion that you were a a spirit, specifically an elemental spirit. perhaps you were the spirit of a breath of wind or a spirit that helped flowers bloom; but this card does make one thing clear, you did not suffer in a way that was abstract to what you existed as. you began life as a spirit, and you faded away as a spirit.

the bird houses (creativity, knowledge, relationship with the earth, disciplines).

cards drawn: nine of trees, the dreamer, the mender, nine of lotuses.

the cards drawn here indicate that your realm involved that of dreams, both in the context of sleep and also in the context of goals. you liked to see things grow to their full potential. you were someone who was creative and resourceful, you knew how to grow things and you knew how to make things flourish. you were able to use your mind for making the world, your world, a better place; you had a centre in you that was made of compassion, and you were explorative and curious. you were like a breeze of bouncy wind; examining where you were, and helping it become something that grew forth and became luxurious. you also had a good head on your shoulders; you knew how to balance the delicate, near-fragile nature of dreams, as well as remain grounded when needed. this helped you remain realistic about how to make your world become its best.

the spirit houses (spirituality, lovers, homelife, strengths and truths).

cards drawn: the composer, ace of trees, eight of birds reversed, five of birds reversed.

it seems you believed in the inner harmony of all things. that was what lay deep in your soul; what you devoted to. a spirit who wanted balance, and tried to imbue it in everything it touched. you wanted everything to blossom, and you wanted everything to grow - not from a desire to make something complete and perfect and grown, but to make something reach its fullest, happiest potential. many were drawn to you for that, particular spirits who wanted to witness what how you could make them whole. you had an airiness and a flourishing, nurturing energy - and that magnetised many other spirits to you! this nurturing energy did come from something, though. a desire for a proper environment. perhaps you were once trapped in a tight, decrepit space - where your metaphorical vines and leaves tried so desperately to find light, and ultimately, you had to escape that environment. you flew into the whips of wind and let it take you where you needed to go, and now, you will never trap another spirit again. you will let others be as free as they deserve, and grow as big as they need to. you wanted that.

the cycle houses (connection to your soul, career and interests, spiritual debts and challenges, sorrows and misfortunes).

cards drawn: two of birds, the elementalist reversed, the wanderer, the weaver.

Name: Nyx

Deck: Left deck please

Spread: Three Card Spread

Question: My question would be, what can do I to move forward in my craft? I want to advance but feel like I'm running myself in circles ^^"

Spirit: N/A

Fun Fact: I was obsessed space/astronomy as a child and would go to the Smithsonian Air & Space museum every year for my birthday :)

Payment: Yes! It will be sent through Ko-Fi from a "Nyx (formerly Meiven)

Public is fine, thank you very much :)

hello nyx! thank you so much for the generous donation, i appreciate it so much! i hope this ends up being a solid reading for you!

what can i do to move forward in my craft?

current position.

card drawn: the lovers (upright). key words: partnership, blossoming relationship, individualism.

aspiration.

card drawn: seven of swords (upright). key words: cutting ties, speaking your mind.

the path to take.

cards drawn: eight of swords (upright). key words: self-imposed imprisonment, despair.

so, with the lovers we're getting an indication that you're excited to start something new. you want to move to a new and beautiful place; one where you can flourish and be yourself and live genuinely. your current position speaks of being a student for what feels like forever, but it is now time for you to step onto your own path - something that is uniquely you, and does not sit in anyone else's shadow. you want to be yourself, you want to show the world who you really are, at your core. this is where your passion should guide you - it is time to begin this dance that only you can perform. the lovers is also a card associated with the number six, which is a very emotional number. it is a number of partnership and endeavors with the bonds you have - i will follow this thought with the other cards.

for your aspiration and path to take, however, we get swords cards. they are cards of brutality, and misery. why would you draw such a positive card with the lovers and follow through with something so heartbreaking? the reality is, for you to flourish, you're going to have to give something away - a part of you, or something you have, you need to give up something that made you really happy once upon a time. this is a new year, and in order to dance your own dance as the lovers portrays, you need to be able to let go to dance on your own. walking a path that is uniquely yours is both an empowering and an isolating experience - you might feel that the community around what you want to follow has dwindled, or just plainly doesn't exist. these cards want you to sit down and think: is forwarding my craft worth the isolation i will inevitably feel? only you can answer that. just be true to you, in whatever you choose. the card is also numbered seven, linking it to the lovers in the sense that it's what comes soon after. perhaps you'll have a revaluation within a week's time after you've established where you want to go; but remember to truly analyse your decisions and where you feel is best to wander.

but equally, with the final card, eight of swords, this is a reminder moreso than anything. wherever your lonely feet step, whichever dance you twist and twirl and bend and dip for - you can indeed reach out and form that community, whenever you need it. community is something that grows, and you need to be able to plant the metaphorical seeds. if your path makes you wander down a lonely road, i suggest you stop and look at what's around you; stop and admire the flowers, listen to the birds that exist around you. there is life and wholesomeness bursting around you with every step you take, and it's not something that's just going to abandon you like that. you can advance your craft by starting with you, and what's around you - and don't forget to reach out amidst everything, i think this card wants you to know you are not alone. you are not going to suffer forever in lack of support and community. create a place for you, and for the people around you. don't despair too much, even if the path you take is painful. as the guide book says, it is the swords that are wedged in the snow. you, on the other hand, can get up and leave whenever you need. the number eight connects this to the previous cards as the final step; the final part to be reminded of. eight says to centre yourself, to not topple over into despair. keep your footing balanced, and things should work out.

ultimately, i cannot tell you specifically how to advance your craft outside of advice. this is something you have to choose for yourself, it is something deeply personal to you.

disclaimer: this was sent by a person who i owed a reading to and had paid for an automatic writing done. i am currently not accepting any reading that does not involve my new decks.

plain text: Wild. Untamed. A torn page ruthlessly ripped out and left alone to crackle and pop on an open, uncontrolled flame. The world keeps turning, even if you stop. Even if you choose to stop breathing; plants, animals, guns, they all keep huffing and puffing, swimming, twisting, breathing, dragging, like a deep inhale from a long, fucking cigarette. You are a dog, filled with cold air in your lungs that leaves you with whines, barks, howls -- noises of animals is the language we speak; the dance we dance, the violence we make with our own, two hands.

this is part of the message sent, if you are the person who sent this, then this reading is for you! this is for a career reading regarding an application. while i cannot give yes/no answers based on whether it will be accepted or not (as i do not use tarot for limited answers), i can at least give a reading for advice surrounding your career choices.

cards drawn: the chariot (upright), the knight of wands (upright). key words: momentum, moving forward, ambition, balance, passion, inspiration, adventurous.

so, whatever happens with your application, these two cards are phenomenal to draw in terms of how prepared you are. these are two cards showing momentum, adventurousness, drive, and determination. you are more than ready to take on this application, and many more after should things not work out. you are more than qualified for a job in this field; and additionally these cards suggest a competitive workplace, but don't be discouraged! have faith in yourself, okay? you've really got this. you are capable, you are strong enough to take this on with grace and glory.

cards drawn: justice (reversed), ten of wands (upright). key words: injustice, inequality, unfairness, carrying all the weight alone, heavy stress.

question that you want answered or "general reading" I have some big choices coming up, how can I know what choices will lead to my best future?

which spirit you want channeled, if applicable Maybe Leviathan, if possible?

which kind of reading you want done (from the below list) oracle, pokemancy, or shufflemancy, dealer's choice

a fun fact about you I frequent open mic poetry spaces and I worship Hestia!

if you plan to pay for the reading I can't at the moment, but I'd love to later, when I have a little more funds after the holidays!

if you want the reading to be posted anonymously or not Either way, however you prefer.

hello revan! i've consulted my pokemancy deck for your channeling with leviathan. i hope this ends up being a worthwhile reading for you! thank you for your patience with this being posted, too.

question asked: what do i need to be aware of to achieve my best future?

cards drawn: here comes team rocket!, mabosstiff. key words: vulnerability, exposure, obsessive defensiveness.

"...you need to be aware of your emotions, first and foremost. when someone steps on your toes -- tries to truly get on your bad side -- attempts to expose or humiliate you, do you go over the top when trying to maintain your honour? don't overdo it. if you want to achieve your best possible outcome, you need to be able to assert yourself without aggression. as tempting as it is to maul someone's face of, you must remain civil. you can get your point across without resorting to volatile behaviour."

cards drawn: raichu, nemona. key words: shared pain, big events, friendship, healing.

"...you also need to remain aware of those around you. if you are suffering, you mustn't suffer alone. share your pain with others; allow them to cradle you during your times of hurt and vulnerability. they are here to help -- they are here to assist you and to make things a little less agonising. if you have a resource available, and as much as your support circle is more than that, you must remain resourceful and use that resource. if they offer to help, do not shun them. this will be the key to remaining supported as you make your biggest decisions."

cards drawn: charizard, metagross GX. key words: deserved payoff, patience, nostalgia, past affecting you.

this is part of the message sent, if you are the person who sent this, then this reading is for you! no spirit jumped out for this particular reading to give you a message, so consider the spirit speaking to be the spirit of this tarot deck.

cards drawn: 3 of pentacles (upright), king of cups (reversed). key words: teamwork, collaboration, moodiness, withdrawn.

"...it seems, you're being made to cooperate with someone less than ideal. they may be manipulative, controlling, or alternatively, entirely closed off and shutting every idea you have towards them down. it's like you're talking to a wall. they are not a good listener, they are not someone who will guide you or nurture you - they are not a king of any sort. it's sad to watch you try to close the gap with them, because every attempt you give is being denied. it is like you're chasing your tail; going utterly nowhere with them."

cards drawn: the tower (upright), knight of swords (upright) key words: upheaval, chaos, a reckoning unlike any other, directness, bravery, adaptability.

"...you've been in the centre of something big, haven't you? or perhaps, you will be in the centre of something big, should you take the next steps forward. you're a little intimidated; especially considering this will not be a clean victory or a clean change for you. you're afraid of hurting people with this change, you're afraid of making more of a trouble for others than what it's worth. i utter to you, be brave. you are stronger than you think, and you will be a better person should you make this decision. perhaps this has to do with the person mentioned earlier; where you feel as if you're having to make a hard decision with them in the middle of it. i urge you to keep going, to finish this journey of yours. it will be worth the loss, and sometimes sacrifice remains necessary."

cards drawn: queen of wands (reversed), king of pentacles (upright) key words: demanding, overbearing, practicality, hardworking, reliable.

"...ah, is that doubt i see? deep in your heart, how you see yourself and the reality of this 'tower moment' stand before you. you see yourself as overly-demanding, as in, 'how dare i make adjustments in my life for the sake of myself?! that must make me such a drag to cart around, setting boundaries is such a downer on everyone around me. setting boundaries hurts everyone i know'.

My name is Jess, she/her.

I am requesting a general reading, please.

I'm happy to hear from whichever well-intentioned spirit would like to come through.

I'd love for you to go with whatever type of reading feels right to you.

A fun fact about me is that I've always been highly attracted to witchcraft, but I only stopped being afraid to fully engage with it during some very serious medical treatment! (This is a fun fact because I'm better than ever now).

Yes, if you are comfortable with this reading, I will send the payment along in a couple of hours at most!

I'm happy for you to share my reading however you'd like.

hello jess! i've consulted the fallen angel oracle cards for your reading. i hope this ends up being an empowering reading for you, and thank you so so much for the tip.

i have channeled lucifer for your reading.

cards drawn: murmur, forneus. key words: history, honesty.

"...the past comes back, and comes back, and comes back. you try to push it back, and you try to fight against it - but are you truly trying to solve your past problems, or are you just trying to delay their effects on you? sometimes you must encounter your past with more ferocity than originally intended; avoidance will not deliver anything more than a softened blow; a delayed punishment. destroy your history once and for all, do not be afraid to be ruthless in ensuring it does not chase you down, evermore."

cards drawn: bifrons, seere. key words: new chapter, change, travel.

"...are you afraid of change? to be a little brave, a little daring? something is coming your way, but you must have the courage to face it - to face the metaphorical sun, blaring light in your eyes. will the sun catch you alight, or will it warm you and invigorate you? how exciting, to be faced with something so tantalising biting at your ankles. it's coming, and it's coming soon - leap ahead for better days. you will find whatever change comes, will be something you justly deserve."

cards drawn: halphas, bael. key words: respite, secrecy.

"...more hiding. i'm noticing a theme of invisibility and fear possessing you. but truly, what are you afraid of, with all this strength you hold? despite the world being at your fingertips, your crown awaiting you, you are afraid to reach for it. don't worry so much. harder times are apart of life, but it is not all there is to existence itself. you have good times, too - and those times wait for you, just as the bad does. don't be so afraid; don't convince yourself of being powerless. you are not. you are a core of energy kept in a body of flesh, and you have every droplet of power you are prepared to gather. sometimes, all you have is your hands - but those hands can build something beautiful, something powerful. for you, for others, for whatever you need. but there is a requirement to taking this power for your own; don't hide anymore. face it; face it all."

and lastly, this is a card from me. it flung out of my hands when i was drawn to drawing one card from the rebel oracle for you. and seeing what lucifer has said, i have one thing to say:

you do need a big fucking hug, actually. may you have all the support you need to build a brilliant life, friend. ✨
