Day 4 of the @biddytarot #TarotMakeover #TarotChallenge - encouraging us to weave a single story out multiple the cards. This is not my strongest skill, and it’s one reason I have appreciated the Tarology work with the Tarot de Marseille so much - looking at the pictures themselves to tell a story. Starting this exercise I literally translated an answer for the wrong question! I answered “why is this happening” rather than my actual question “how can I improve this situation.” I laughed at myself realizing I was looking back instead of forward. And yet, my answer still ended up a chain of answers, rather than a single answer. I’m still chewing on it as a single story chain. #Tarology #Tarot #BlackLight #BlackLightTarot #LaughingAtMyself https://www.instagram.com/p/COY_2RshiiI/?igshid=10izvrsf97w4k

Day 3 of the @BiddyTarot #TarotMakeover #TarotChallenge - the art of working on choice-based questions (what can I do to invite love into my life) rather than faith-based questions (will I ever find love). I’ve gotten better about this over the years, but today did my brainstorming on personal questions from my own life. I “fuffed” out loud about the answer, because this deck does this to/with me. Black Light Tarot by @TarotCollectibles ... now what to do with it. Really tempted to draw a clarifying card, but the homework is one card. May do anyway because F it, it’s my practice. Dress from Scout Dry Goods & Trade on Broadway... because Beltane needed some more gold :) #BlessedBe #Tarot #TarotCommunity #PersonalPractice #Beltane https://www.instagram.com/p/COWn-g2hL0c/?igshid=19sgskpaxalzd

Day 2 and 3 of the #TarotMakeover with @biddytarot Day 3 was coming up with powerful questions or empowering questions. Questions that are more about guidance and empowering the client. The question I asked was how I can be more confident in myself and my intuition. And i feel like the message is not to think too hard about it. I need to trust myself and just go with it. I put too much thought into it sometimes, and my best readings are when I just go with the first feelings I get during a reading. And day 2 was about creating a sacred space. My cards basically said it is going to take some work to get it the way I want it, but the sooner I can get it done the better. (The short version of it haha!)

So I’m a day late on the #TarotMakeover with @biddytarot but better later than never. Was still recovering from the full moon. It was heavy! Anyway! So for this video, I actually did have an aha moment because I’ve never thought to take time to think about when a reading goes well and why. I always focus on when it doesn’t. So shifting my perspective on it was really really helpful. I do my best when I’m comfortable and when i feel like I’m helping other people feel in control of their life by focusing in realistic steps that they can take. That’s when I’m in my zone. So I intended on drawing just one card while I was focusing on this, and it felt like validation when I saw no place like home which is just about that feeling of being comfortable and setting boundaries (😬). And then I got yin which is more of the nurturing side of life, and when I think of what I’m doing as nurturing the growth in others, that feels super powerful. So anyway, gonna go get started on day 2. Brb lol! #tarotreadersofinstagram #tarotcommunity #tarotreading #tarot #tarotjournalling (at Wichita, Kansas) https://www.instagram.com/p/COS08EGnh8F/?igshid=94fr341hmnds

Day4 of the #TarotMakeover and I asked the same question today as I did for Day 3; “How can I incorporate my passions into a successful career?” This reading threw me for a bit as all three cards I pulled (The Moon, 6 of Swords, and 2 of Cups) were reversed. Part of the exercise called for us to look for similarities or themes throughout the cards. At first glance I wasn’t sure there was a commonality, but the more I look at them, the more I think I understand that there is a common thread. To start, The Moon. I had to check the book on this one, especially for the reversed meaning, which is “delusions, lies, disappointment, anxiety.” Well, I’m certainly feeling a good amount of anxiety where my career is involved. But I also know that I tend to live in a fantasy world, so maybe, this card is reminding me to bring it back down to Earth. Having fantastical ideas and daydreams is fine, but if I want to truly find a new career path that is fulfilling in all aspects, I can’t expect to find it if I’m daydreaming about its arrival. Next, the 6 of Swords. In my deck, the landscape is winter in a forest and an unmanned boat is gliding down a river. The swords rest in the boat, and the boat’s masthead is a woman who looks as if she is serene but searching. Upright in my deck, this card means “travel, discovery of new shores, leaving old places and friends.” Reversed I’m interpreting it to mean that I don’t need to “go searching,” I need to hunker down and get to work. Swords are the suit of Air (intuition, flexibility) - I need to trust myself and take a chance right now. Lastly, the 2 of Cups. The deck’s image is two people locked in an embrace while standing on a hillside near a stream. I would take this to man, quite literally, embrace love. But this card is also about growth and partnership. Altogether, I believe this reading is telling me to be realistic. While I’d love nothing more than to be a professional witch, living in a cottage and trading spells, that isn’t necessarily realistic in this day and age. But, that doesn’t mean I can’t incorporate what I love into a new career! I need to ground and connect with my network to find support on the journey. https://www.instagram.com/p/B-g4jARnBZq/?igshid=x8pc1vg6ari3

I won’t lie to you, I’ve been slacking on the #BiddyTarot #TarotMakeover challenge and now I’m playing catch up. Here are my notes on day 3 “Ask powerful questions.” ✨ ✨ ✨ Recently, the COVID pandemic rendered me unemployed so my 5 questions were based around not only finding a new job, but using this crossroads moment to reevaluate my career path. ✨ I asked the cards "How can I incorporate my passions into a successful career?" and pulled the Acolyte (Knight) of Cups. ✨ In my deck, the Acolyte of Cups is pictured riding a dolphin into the sunset - he represents seeking adventure and new experiences. So what does that mean in relation to my new career? And how does that play into combining my passions into a career? I feel as if there are many interpretations but one strong overall message - go forward into this time of the unknown with a fresh outlook; this is an exciting time to keep moving forward (I tend to get stalled up when I'm overwhelmed or feeling uncertainty); don't expect to fit into some preconceived notion of what a successful career is - I require a good amount of "freedom" to be able to explore the world around me. I'm still not quite sure what this new career path will look like, but I'm a lot more excited to take this next step! https://www.instagram.com/p/B-eg3XKn0r8/?igshid=2kdm460p685r
