down at the local metaphyisical store/coffee shop for more #tftwstarotchallenge !! again, answering two of the prompts, but seperately this time. ▪ "how can i connect more deeply to my inner Hermit?" 🕯️ because of my childhood abuse, i have a difficult time expressing my emotions, especially in a timely & direct manner. even when it comes to being honest with myself about them! there have been times when i felt as if i was waking up to a realization of hurt, disappointment, loss, etc. years after the incident itself. the energy for KNIGHT of CUPS feels to me like the gentlest of all the KNIGHT cards, which i think is incredibly appropriate for this prompt. being harsh with myself -- "you shouldn't be upset!" "why can't you just say what you want?" -- has only buried me further beneath my shame & fear of expression. but if i can't be honest or communicate with myself, how will i make any progress on my internal path? ▪ "how can i trust the medicine of change?" 💊 seemingly impossible tasks are made managable through enough organized cooperation. there's a reason that "barn raising" is a relatively well known rural ritual & folks say "it takes a village to raise a child". work shared not only makes our individual tasks more managable, it strengthens our community & enriches our lives. it enables those in bad situations to facilitate change for themselves because they don't need to do it on their own. i have a good support network; it is small, but it is good. if i lean towards them for support during these transitions i so fear, perhaps they can seem more managable & allow me to change for the better. ▪ ▪ ▪ ▪ ▪ #julytarotchallenge #tarotreadersofinstagram #queertarot #queertarotreader #knightofcups #fourofwands #tarotofpagancats #queermagic #queerwitch #guidedhealing #communityhealing #thehermit #embracechange #divination #cartomancy
