#intuitive development

🌲✨ Beneath the canopy of your own intuition, something ancient stirs. These tarot journal prompts aren’t just questions—they’re quiet keys, whispering open the doors of memory, instinct, and the parts of you that know without words. Inspired by The High Priestess and the hush of deep forests, these prompts invite you to wander inward like moss creeps over stone—slow, sacred, and sure.

Think veils, moonlight, and the scent of rain-soaked earth. Think symbols that follow you in dreams. Think secrets kept even from yourself.

If you’re into tarot as a mirror, journaling as ritual, or just want to feel more connected to your inner underworld... you're in the right place.

Follow for prompts, cosmic quiet, and tools for the soft, strange path inward. 🌑🕯🌿

The Following Channel is from higher powers, Divine, the ancestral plane and is prophetic through Quornesha S. Lemon| Whether the letter J/j appears in dreams, visions, waking life or synchronicities, it is a sign and message that you are a person whose intuitive and it will be hard for you to have a large circle of friends. It is because you are being forewarned not to trust too many people. Yes, you will need to open your heart as you choose. Don’t be fooled by others who demand that you love in any way. It is up to you as even a closed heart or mind is your choice. And don’t discount yourself, sometimes what others perceive as you being closed minded is your freedom of choice to choose what is right for you. The Letter J foretells that you are a strong leader. You know who to deal with and who not to associate yourself with. The letter J says, that you’re able to love others as you see necessary. It is not necessary to come from a place of hate. And just because you love others it doesn’t mean you allow others to use you or be a doormat for them to walk all over. The letter J means that you’ve been through a lot in this lifetime. It is time to surrender all of your pain and let go. With the letter J being the 10th letter of the alphabet it is further confirmation that it is time to start again. So, if you have given up on a dream or a goal, it is time to put your fighting spirit to work. Don’t allow people in your close vicinity if you know that they will drain your energy. The lower case letter j is a reminder that someone isn’t being true to you. And it is your responsibility to filter the things you tell others. Watch your back, be careful and keep your inner most fears to yourself in the setting of others who don’t have your best interest at heart. It’s up to you to identify them. The Letter J is a also a positive reminder for you to stay put for now, if you’re thinking of moving hold on just a little bit longer. Your ideal home is forthcoming. But keep manifesting and looking as miracles, financially and home wise is on it’s way. J is also the alphabet of stability. So, be prepared for prosperous times. As this letter will lead you to anchoring outcomes. People with first names that begin with J, have some mental instability to overcome. Fortunately it’s the opposite for those with Middle names that begin with the letter J. Pay close attention to your dreams, as prophecies will start to come through. As this letter reminds that you will overcome your biggest obstacles if you forge ahead. And it is perfectly ok to seek the help of an experienced professional to decode them. ASE!

This message isn't, obviously resonant with all whose paths it crosses, as perhaps you may come into contact with someone of this vernacular, mastery or skill. Therefore, it is a sign from the universe that you're meant to work with such a person. If this is not you, then it is time to get clear to rejoin your tribe or the rest of the world of infinite beings. It's time to bring your light to the forefront. However, if you aren't able to invoke, heal or otherwise on your own, call on the assistance of shamans, healers, intuitive people, etc. to assist you. This synchronicity can possibly have specific meanings for you, it's time to get insight.

Hello there Babes,

Yes indeed, Spirits can lie (and not even just for fun). And it’s hard to trust the motives of a Spirit because they will almost always have their own agenda or motivation for speaking to you or helping you.

Trust issues in Spirit Work is totally a thing, for sure.

I guess trusting in Spirit Guides or Allies within Spirit is really a matter of trusting them over time based on the results of your direct spirit communication. Much like trusting a new friend or new romantic relationship. You start with 0 trust, or trusting based on giving them the benefit of the doubt. And your layers or levels of trust then get chipped away based on the results of that particular relationship - and mostly whether it is mutually beneficial.

I know that may not be the most helpful way for me to answer that, but I’m really asking Spirit here to remind me how I came to a place of absolute trust and they laugh and say “Well Allison it has been 5 years of you reading for yourself and others full time, all day, everyday, so it’s only after 5 long years of doing that, that we have gained your trust. But you still don’t trust us completely and that’s ok.”

I think the fact that you are even considering the possibility that the Spirits you work with cannot be trusted - can only be a good and healthy sign of your own personal Intuitive development and spiritual practice / progress. When you stop questioning is perhaps when you need to start being worried if you are overly trusting of Spirits that you do not necessarily know on an intimate level (or at least what we perceive to be an intimate level in our human experience).

So that’s my answer about trust.

In terms of guides changing all the time… Welcome to the club! That has been my general experience since I started connecting in Spirit. Even now I am asking in Spirit if I am still working with the same Spirits or energies I have always worked with in answering these Asks (since I started on Tumblr), and I get a firm / immediate “No”. That doesn’t panic me though because I’ve grown accustomed to my guides always changing.

I want you to think of your guides as a reflection of where you are at spiritually. As we grow, evolve, and change in deeper understanding of our own soul and the world around us, then our guides or those in Spirit we work with must also grow and change with us. Which for me almost always manifests as a changing of the guard. So honestly it’s to the point where I personally don’t get hung up on a name, face, or information about each specific guide. 

Every once in a while I energetically probe, I guess what you would call the “collective” of my group of guides. Just to see if there’s anything fishy or worth being worried about. The level of trust I have in Spirit though, as I said earlier, has been forged and tested over thousands of readings and years of intensive Spirit Work that I just implicitly trust. I have the ability, though, for my clients to provide my “peer review”. So if I get told from clients that my reading is way off or that they don’t appreciate what I have to channel - THEN I self-assess. For me - my main reason for Spirit work is to help others, and if I am not helpful, then I have a problem to deal with in my relationships in Spirit.

Generally - all my answers are the same as well among many guides. It just has (mostly) always been that way for me too. I wouldn’t be worried if the answer is the same among many. That’s a sign that your entourage in Spirit has reached a “consensus” I feel. I have at times felt a sense of argument or discussion in Spirit but that’s usually when I take a step back and allow them to confer. What I care about is the distilled answer that is agreed upon by the majority. In early days I would jokingly refer to the process of speaking / communicating in Spirit to being similar to being that fly on the wall in a UN meeting. There are many representatives but the collective come to a consensus of “what the message is” by conferring with each-other. I just get the Cole’s Notes version.

Do I think the pendulum is safe? Well since this is a bit of an older Ask I feel that you may not even use a pendulum now for reading yourself. I feel like you’re taking a break from Spirit perhaps at the moment but the most recent tool you may have used is cartomancy or some form of Tarot or Oracle cards. Personally I prefer using cards to a pendulum, because a pendulum can be very vague or general and then there’s the question as to whether you are influencing what the pendulum is doing through Ideomotor action - with the answer you most “want to receive” within your mind. So I prefer cards because there are so many (more specific) messages available. And if something is unclear you can just pull more cards.

I do get told at the time of you submitting this Ask that your pendulum needed to be “cleared”. So clearing can happen in a lot of ways - some people burn dried herbs like sage, others use clearing crystals like selenite, or will charge pendulums during a specific moon cycle (typically the New Moon). If you go back to using a pendulum I would recommend getting into the practice of regularly clearing that pendulum energetically after each use or before each use (or even both) so that you can trust that the energy it’s connecting to (and the energy held within the pendulum itself) is fresh & brand new.

Best of luck to you on your spiritual journey! I’m excited (and for some reason Spirit is even excited) for you ♥

Hello Beautiful ♥

This is one of my *last few* super-old Asks & I’m sorry I couldn’t be there for you with Spirit sooner. I have a lot of empathy for what you’re experiencing because I’ve been there… Anyone who is adept at Spirit Work of any kind has been there, really. Control is such a hard thing when you are initially bombarded with everything, and control comes with time.

I guess this isn’t true for everyone. Some people seek to open more, while the naturally gifted usually end up seeking for some semblance of sanity. Been there, done that, got all the t-shirts.

I’m going to suggest something that helped me *way back when*, but I have to say… just because it helped me doesn’t mean it will 100% work for you. The gifts are individual, and how our hearts, minds & souls process spiritual lessons is individual as well. We all have to find our own path & method in dealing with our spiritual abilities.

That being said though… In the beginning, like you, I was so overwhelmed by the number and diverse nature of the entities / energies / spirits that would visit me & sometimes I guess I also felt intimidated or afraid because with certain entities it’s just impossible to know, understand, or discover their true motives in seeking to initiate communication with you. They always seem to have their own agenda and depending on the type of entity they are they may not deem it necessary to let you in on that agenda or that agenda may not even be in line with your highest good.

So in the beginning I actually sought to ignore the things that weren’t relevant to me. In fact I think I would repeat a phrase like that in my head and then visualize certain aspects of protection, plus carry spiritual tools of protection (like protective crystals), plus do more ritualistic work in protecting my home, my bedroom, etc. 

And it was only through that work over the course of months if not years, that my natural psychic defenses just sort of started kicking in on their own. Now the switch has flipped where I don’t notice entities in my home AT ALL unless I’m *working* (spirit work) from home via my clients. And even then the only entities / energies / spirits I interact with at home are now my Guides / Allies + Loved Ones that hang out with me a few days before a client’s session.

In terms of what methods will work for you - again it’s really trial & error, but I would definitely focus most of your spirit work right now in protection, grounding, and asserting your own energetic will rather than engaging in communication with these entities.

Spirit just whispered an interesting thing to me while typing that last paragraph: “Don’t feed the Beast”

I think what Spirit means is that the more you choose to pay attention to & engage with these entities, or try to “figure them out” (why they’re there, where they’re from, why they want you, etc.) the more you’re focusing your will and energy on them. Spirit says in times like these it’s best to be selfish in regard to your own mental, emotional, physical & spiritual health. And that means beefing up your repertoire on Psychic Defense and Spiritual Protection.

♥

There are a few books I like (and one I haven’t read yet but it’s on my list) about Psychic Protection: 

My current “go-to” is not really a mainstream or well-known one but it’s called [ “The Art of Psychic Protection” ] by Judy Hall (that’s a link to the “Good Reads” profile on this book). 

It’s an old one so some of the practice or knowledge is a bit dated but I think why I enjoy this one is because my first / initially most powerful gift was Clairvoyance, so anything with visualization work actually makes things easier for me. There’s a lot of “theory” to learn from in this book but also practical application & it covers not only entities but “cord cutting”, “psychic attack”, and a variety of other topics.

The next book I plan to read *soon* and I have heard is good, is [ “The Occult Art of War” ] by Seth Cardorra (that’s an Amazon.com link for ordering the book). Which is loosely based on the principles presented by Sun Tzu in “The Art of War”. 

Side Note: Some of the reviews about this book say it’s a bit complex or it’s based on the idea that the reader is already well-versed in magical / spiritual work. And I can understand that just based on the exercise I performed below.

Because I haven’t read this one yet I just pulled a *bibliomancy* move by opening up the book to a random page to see what message I get / if the info resonates and the 1st + 2nd passages I read amount to this:

1. Sun Tzu: “Ordinarily, an army likes high places and dislikes low ground, values light and despises darkness,”

Occult Art of War translation: “There are always constants one should be aware of. Keep to your advantages and do not allow yourself to be burdened by your disadvantages.”

I really like that passage for you. I feel like it’s a reminder that you’re powerful enough to even be able to interact with entities to begin with, which means you’re powerful enough to deal with them otherwise you wouldn’t possess these gifts & abilities. Don’t look at your ability to communicate as a disadvantage, instead look at it as an asset and see what line of thinking that leads you to.

The second passage I read is:

2. Sun Tzu: “Take care of physical health and stay where there are plenty of resources. When there is no sickness in the army it is said to be invincible.”

Occult Art of War translation: “Keep close to your resources, take care not to overtax your energy or spread yourself too thin. If you do you will be stuck at a lower power levels until your position changes.”

That one resonated with me today - just read the note I posted before answering this Ask! I had to bail on / cancel or reschedule a lot of things last week because my energy was just not in the space to best “perform”, and honestly I’ve been questioning whether it is okay to do that. I guess Spirit just gave me my answer ;) 

♥

I could literally sit here and write forever on this topic or subject BUT instead, I encourage you to re-submit an Ask if you now have alternative questions about dealing with these gifts or spirit communication. I always just feel like there’s so much ground to cover in sharing knowledge / practice in Spirit Work.

Wishing you the best in dealing with this & please have faith in your own abilities / skills. You’ve got this, you just need to believe that you do.

It can be in entities’ best interest to encourage our disbelief in ourself. So we have to be the ones to push past what they are trying to communicate and instead always focus on what you know to be true deep within yourself.

Best of luck Babe 

Hello Anon Boo,

Before I start - make sure to check out [ my post here about how my clairaudience works ] as I have had someone in the past ask for a more detailed account of “how I hear” or “how to hear” in general & this may help you out :)

…

Right away Spirit tells me that you may be focusing too specifically on “hearing” and missing where the messages come from entirely. It’s important to note that communication in Spirit is not as limiting as language and communication barriers we face in reality. In reality we speak out loud and hear the words - whether we understand the meaning behind them or not. And if we cannot do that, well then we use body language (even sign language). We can even rely heavily on visual cues AND THEN there’s touch as well (brail). 

Considering all of this, Spirit is encouraging you to open up your mind in terms of what communication in Spirit really means. I keep feeling this urging to let go of “trying to hear” right now and focus more on “what you feel”. I keep visually receiving this as your hand placed on your heart / chest. This would be Spirit showing me that one of your most powerful, yet understated, gifts in your arsenal may be an Empathic or Clairsentient ability - a feeling, sensing. I also get the vibe that you may be Claircognizant in those moments as well - a knowing. So you feel or sense something subtle in your chest (or stomach, or wherever) - it’s like feeling an emotion but there’s a bit of disconnect there where you know it’s not your emotion. And then right away the possible answer to that feeling or sense pops into your head (the claircognizance or “clear knowing”).

I know receiving in that way doesn’t come across as J A Z Z Y as “hearing” can, but it is still a completely valid form of communication. We can get so obsessed about seeing and / or hearing that we end up completely ignoring the Spirits around us. And yes, oftentimes they get frustrated that we are so limited in our world view that there are only S P E C I F I C ways to communicate.

So your homework is… TRY COMMUNICATING WITH THE GIFTS THAT COME NATURALLY TO YOU FIRST.

…

BONUS ROUND: A super simple exercise to start chipping away at hearing / clairaudience would be    A U T O M A T I C    W R I T I N G

All you need is a paper (perhaps it would be a good idea to keep all of these exercises in a journal) + a writing instrument. Next time to speak to your Spirits, write down your questions instead. Start with very simple   Y E S / N O   questions. While writing, open up your mind and try to enter a semi-meditative state. Release all preconceived notions and let go of what you would WANT the answer to be. Anytime while writing, wait to see if a clear YES or NO pops into your mind. At the end of your sentence see if you feel compelled to write either YES or NO immediately. If neither of those things happen - KEEP WRITING ANYWAY. Practice this a few minutes everyday and you will soon find yourself getting one step closer to any latent   C L A I R A U D I E N T   abilities you may possess.

Hello Dear Anon,

I don’t know much about Abraham Hicks - I don’t read a lot of New Age books or follow some of the bigger who’s who in the New Age Community. I know that’s weird. I’ve had Spirit to teach me and guide me since Day One and allow Spirit to be my teacher (the many I communicate with).

So what I’m going to do is refer to a bit of Google, read up on Abraham Hicks, and see what vibes I get ;)

So the first thing I feel before even searching is a weird disconnect or absence of energy. Like I don’t know who Abraham Hicks is, but does anyone? And when I feel that way it’s usually my sign from Spirit that I personally may not resonate with what Abraham Hicks says or theories they present.

And the main results coming up for Abraham Hicks seems to be Esther Hicks? A woman? So I went to the website and clicked on the “About” page and VOILA…

“Abraham Hicks” is a moniker for a Spiritual Collective that Esther Hicks channels. THAT makes so much more sense. Because Abraham Hicks was not resonating with me (and it still isn’t really).

After reading a bit more… here is what I generally get in Spirit about Abraham Hicks:

• There seems to be a lot of jargon used on the website that makes no sense to me. I’m not sure how else to say it. One of my biggest pet peeves about some New Age Community / industry theory or practice is saying very little while using A LOT of words. That’s what I’m seeing here. But maybe the books, etc. are different? Spirit says “No” to me on that one. So now I can see why this isn’t my cup of tea. I’m a “cut to the chase” kind of learner in Spirit. 

• The description of who Abraham is as a collective energy doesn’t make sense to me BUT the vibration I *personally* feel at work here is ringing my “Alien” bell. Most of us Mediums that work in Spirit develop a short-hand with our Guides / Spirit Allies over years of work. So in my own *personal* short-hand my “Alien” bell is going off re: who Abraham Hicks is. BUT keep in mind that my own *personal* definition of “Alien” doesn’t translate to “little grey men”. “Alien” to me is energies / entities in Spirit that are not from here. Here being Earth, our plane of existence (which includes “the Other Side” or “Heaven” AND Ghosts or Spirits that are stuck here on Earth). So based on those 3 levels of Spirit energy - Abraham Hicks is ringing my bell wayyy off into “Alien” territory. That may mean it’s very high vibrational energy / entities. 

• I get told in Spirit by whomever I work with, that Abraham Hicks’ teachings / knowledge is merely ONE way to look at things, but it is from whatever perspective the Alien Entity Collective chooses to share. I get the feeling or word / sign for “perspective” and “opinion” here. And even my sign for “Outsider”. So I take that to mean that Abraham Hicks may be presenting specific perspectives or opinions about how life works here on Earth but that is their perspective and may not be a wholistic view of how all things work / operate. Because ultimately they are Outsiders - they are not human - they are merely communicating what they believe or feel to be the best way to approach belief or action in our Human Experience, but they are not Human themselves.

• Spirit then tells me at the end of the day, anyone can take or leave what Abraham Hicks is saying as long as it resonates with you. So if it resonates - then great! Maybe ignore everything I just said. I always teach this in Intuitive Development - and that is the concept that I can only channel or provide so much insight / guidance and that insight / guidance will always be a reflection of my own personal journey / perspective… just like ANYONE ELSE who is a Spiritual Teacher here. Like Esther Hicks channeling Abraham Hicks. BUT that being said, it’s up to you to use your own unique connection within yourself & Spirit to decide what resonates. Keep what works, drop what doesn’t. And don’t lose sleep over it. ;)

So if what I channeled is helpful to you… GREAT… if not, then continue connecting to whatever energy helps you to understand things Spiritually & level-up in Spirit. Trust your own gut above what anyone else has to say.

For me, from my Spirit connection & gut, Abraham Hicks doesn’t resonate. But that may not be true for you and obviously isn’t true for many others but that doesn’t make the teachings of Abraham Hicks wrong in any way. Just different.

To each their own - everyone has a right to their own personal preferences ;)
