Reading for Underworldariel
This is the first of a few readings I’ll be posting on here, and I’m excited to kick it off with this! This one is a mix of divination techniques as part of a trade with @underworldariel.Â
Has what I’ve researched about my past live(s) correct? Are my ancestors/spirit family who I believe they are?Â
Osteomancy (Bone reading)
Oracle (Earthbound Oracle)
Can we take a moment to appreciate this #aesthetic setup I’ve got going on here--
Thanks, cat. Let’s get into it!Â
BONE READING
The way I was taught to do bone reading, it’s exclusively a tool for ancestor work, so I’ve invited all the ancestors in question to be present with me along with my own as I read, just to see what they had to say on their own before we got into the rest. Here’s the results:
Wow, you’ve got some tremendous support behind you. There’s a lot contributing to your current success and power-- and there is success and power-- and a lot of that has been given to you. That isn’t to say that you don’t deserve it or you’ve been coddled-- there’s elements of your own personal grit here too-- but there’s a definite note that you have some level of privilege. Some of that is divine guidance, them watching over you in a committed way. Some of it is just the natural circumstances of your birth in this current life. It’s not something to be ashamed of, but rather mindful of and thankful for; it’s been given from a place of love.Â
Your emotions are pulling you in different directions. Your urge here may be to hide and protect yourself, but honestly... you can stretch more than you have been. You don’t have to be as afraid. You’ve got what it takes to be okay.
PENDULUM TIME! Pendulums tend to hate me and I often lose them very quickly, so I just used a necklace devoted to Hermes, who I asked to help guide me through this.Â
Was this reading correct? Yes.Â
Is there any more to say here? No.Â
Let’s move on. TAROT:Â
The first two on the left jumped while I was posing the question to the deck!Â
“How am I seeing myself?” Page of Swords, reversed + Three of Cups. I think you’re already largely aware of the support I just mentioned before, and you’re grateful for it. You don’t feel deserving of this support, though. Instead, you feel like your head isn’t screwed on right, like something is wrong for believing what you’ve found so far.Â
“How should I be seeing myself?” Ten of Cups. Chill out. Take a breath. Relax. You are correct in your research. (Mostly. We’ll get to that in a sec!) It’s not just wishful thinking! You are allowed to celebrate this and be happy with this without feeling delusional.Â
“Where should my studies be? What parts of my conclusions need clearing up?” King of Cups. Let yourself be vulnerable. Let yourself admit that you don’t know things, but also drop the idea that we must be cold and logical all the time with a journey of self-discovery like this. Something is allowed to just “feel right” if it really does feel right. You may be walling yourself off from things because of the amount of focus you’re putting on trying to “prove” everything. Faith comes easy to you, but allow some of that faith to be in yourself. Practice it.Â
“What are my strengths in this journey?” Queen of Cups, reversed. Just like the King and Queen kind of appear to be facing each other in this spread, these two cards kind of work together! This is almost like an addition to the statement in the first card: You are not the kind of person to get caught up in mysticism, intrigue, and fanciful ideas. While this was pitched as a sort of negative in the first card, it’s a very good thing too. It keeps your feet firmly on the ground, and stops you from believing just anything that sounds nice. This is a natural tendency of yours, and it’s what will allow you to explore the King’s message without going off the deep end. Trust yourself to trust your gut, trust yourself to naturally rein it in when you need.Â
ORACLE:Â
This one tends to work fairly quickly for me so this will be much more brief.
You’ve got a lot of room to explore. You’re definitely nowhere near finished with this journey yet, or even close. That said, the methods you’ve been using are only going to get you so far. As you continue to expand, you’ll need to find new ways to search and discover that are new to you! Basically, your tools need to keep up with you and may be due for an update soon. But wait, there’s more!Â
I accidentally drew doubles for both of these cards, here’s what was under them! My gut tells me you might get more out of this than I do, but I’ll try my best anyway. I, uh... I guess it’s just a similar message to the first! Let go of the old in order to make way for the new, the death of old methods into achievement, just like creativity leads to growth.
PENDULUM TIME! A few final followup questions. Some of this I’m editing the wording of to protect the more specific and personal aspects of this reading ^^
“Based on all of the info so far, I do believe @underworldariel was [who she believes.] Is this correct?” Yes.
“Is this person’s spirit family as she believes it to be?” No.
“Did she have a relationship with those individuals?” Yes.Â
“Was this relationship familial?” No.Â
“Is this something she should figure out?” Yes.Â
“Is there any information or clues in this reading?” Yes.Â
SO, IN CONCLUSION: You’re mostly right! You are who you believe to be. Your research and discernment is sound, and you’ve surrounded yourself in good company that loves and cares for you very, very much! The only catch is that the relationship isn’t exactly the family setup you thought, even if the results are functionally the same as if you were totally right. As for clues, that’s on you. Hopefully they’ll jump out and resonate with you more than with me!Â
Hope this helps! Let me know what you think~Â
