9/27/17 ☉♍︎ ☽♐︎ A spread by me for a friend who's going on a trip. ✨What do you need to prioritize on your trip? Mother of Wands: She is the embodiment of intelligence, wit, knowledge, and independence. Keep a sharp eye on your surroundings; be cautious, but don't let yourself become cynical or cold and distant from those around you. Swords represents the mind; prioritize that. ✨What can help you do so? V of Pentacles: This can indicate a loss of faith during hard times, or a falling out with a loved one. You may be feeling lost or out in the cold, but don't keep yourself out there, remember you can find strength in warm places. Allow yourself to seek help when you need it. ✨What will be a challenge for you? XV the Devil: This card represents feeling trapped, contained, and restricted, either mentally or physically. Sometimes this can indicate your surroundings inflicting this upon you, but more often than not it's you keeping yourself there. This card is ruled by Capricorn, which has a lot of control over itself. You may feel contained, but you are in control. ✨How can you overcome? Ace of Wands: Aces represent the potential of the entire suit, and wands represent fire: your passion and spirit. Inspiration lives here, and in it the potential for creativity, productivity, and power. Using this fiery potential will help you to break free from whatever chains may be holding you. ✨On your trip, what can you teach to others? Mother of Wands: Another queen and more fire! Passion, spirit, determination, and warmth emanate from her. Bring this energy to those around you while you're away, infuse this vitality into your aura. To me, this goes hand in hand with the Queen of Swords; they are both encouraging you to stay warm, and she agrees with the Ace of Wands on your passionate creative potential. ✨What can you learn? III the Empress: She is Mother Nature, nurturer and life giver. She represents the earth and its features, the entirety of the natural world. You may gain further understanding and appreciation of nature and motherly love, what it means to be nurtured, or how to better nurture others. #customtarotspread #dailytarotbird #dtbwildunknown #wildunknowntarot (at Tucson, Arizona)

09/25/17 ☉♍︎ ☽♐︎ A spread for a friend from a book I own posted with his lovely permission. ✨What is important to you now? The Fool, the first card of a tarot deck, represents great untapped potential, the cleanest slate possible. Adventure and new experiences are ahead, and while it's nearly guaranteed there will be pitfalls, there's also an enthusiasm that will carry you through. As far as what is important now, it's that wild abandon and enthusiasm for new experiences. ✨What do you need to set aside? The III of Cups is the celebration card, it represents a feeling of being well on your way, or having accomplished minor obstacles that will continue to launch you forward. Setting this aside, to me, would mean be weary of celebrating too soon, let the thing happen first and don't get ahead of yourself. ✨What do you need to take into consideration? The World, the very last card in the major arcana, is where all plans culminate; this is the end of a cycle, as well as integration into the world as a final stage of a process. It can indicate travel, foreign language, accomplishment of long term goals. This is a deep card that can be hard to peg, but I believe it's telling you to keep your eyes wide open. You've always had such big sights and you shouldn't narrow them now. You can get what you want. #tarotspread #foundtarotspread #cardoftheday #dailytarotcard #dailytarotbird #dtbwildunknown #wildunknowntarot #septembertarot #tarotreadersofinstagram (at Tucson, Arizona)

08/22/17 ☉♍︎ ☽♍︎ VII of Swords: This simple illustration conveys a lot, and that's part of why I love this deck so much. We can plainly see six swords, while a seventh is tucked away under the fox's tail. We know according to folk lore foxes are sly and clever tricksters. A secret is being kept, and I am either the keeper or the kept-from. Today I'll be weary. #sevenofswords #cardoftheday #dailytarotcard #dailytarotbird #dtbwildunknown #thewildunknowntarot #theaugusttarot #tarotreadersofinstagram

08/06/17 ☉♌︎ ☽♒︎ Mother of Wands: Today being Sunday, I pulled a card for the week. The imagery of this deck is immediately thought-provoking and that's something I love about it; a mother snake curled up protectedly over her eggs gives us a basis for the archetype presented here. We know this woman to be protective and passionate, kind and nurturing, although ruthless if you cross her. Classically known as the Queen of the fire element, she's someone who could solve all of your problems, or destroy you, or both. During the week ahead I'm going to try to embrace this idea. Being a fire sign, I've always thought of this card as my best self. Let me regain some passion and compassion. #motherofwands #queenofwands #cardoftheday #dailytarotcard #dailytarotbird #dtbwildunknown #thewildunknowntarot #theaugusttarot #tarotreadersofinstagram (at Tucson, Arizona)

08.01.17 ☉♌︎ ☽♐︎ XVI The Tower: Seriously, what a way to start out the month. This card tends to make me tense and anxious, but I have to remember to be the lightning, not the tree; react swiftly, make decisions quickly, be the change that happens. While this card can foreshadow great and sudden change, it can also symbolize an escape from imprisonment. Following the fool’s journey through the major arcana, The Tower is preceded by XV The Devil; imagine this tower (although here represented by a tree) the prison in which the devil held you captive and you’re breaking free. #thetower #cardoftheday #dailytarotcard #dailytarotbird #dtbwildunknown #thewildunknowntarot #theaugusttarot #tarotreadersofinstagram
