Got some new altar decorations for the new year and celebrations of winter to come. It has recently snowed where I live so I felt it was time to begin the winter processions and get more in tune with the sun (you know I’ll be needing him on these dark days.) I did a winter tarot spread to gain focus and have some clarity on this first waning crescent of the winter season.
I have really enjoyed studying tarot. I take each reading of myself as time to learn the cards. It’s exciting when I begin to feel emotions and thoughts when I flip a card as I’m learning to feel their meanings rather than read them off a chart! They give me direction and clarity and allow me to take progressive steps towards my goals.
My tarot spread:
Card 1: gratitude - 9 of swords
Card 2: rest and health - ace of cups
Card 3: peace - 10 of wands
Card 4: rebirth - 6 of swords
Card 5: gifts - queen of cups
Card 6: forgiveness - 4 of wands
Card 7: friends and family - death
Card 8: celebration - strength
Card 9: comfort and joy - knave of cups
Card 10: full moon magic (what will be leaving you this winter) - 3 of swords
Card 11: new moon magic (what will be entering your life) - the chariot
Card 12: winter magic you should focus on - 8 of swords
Let me know what you think and what your beginning of winter magic routine looks like for you <3
