Weekly Reading - #27

I acquired a quirky little deck a while ago and I got the urge today to use it for this week's reading.

I had real trouble getting my guides on board, though. Perhaps they viewed the deck as a bit undignified? When I finally felt their presence, this was the card I got... 😏

Watch your actions this week. Don't do anything at home or at work that you would be ashamed for people to find out about. Avoid workplace romances in particular.

We have a saying in England - "Don't piss on your own doorstep." Which basically means don't cause trouble in a place or a group where you regularly find yourself, because you'll have to constantly live with the consequences.


Thank you, guides, for humouring me. 😁

Freebie Friday - #4

### CLOSED ### Try the next one... 

We're fast approaching the time of the year that I affectionately refer to as the "C-word". This will probably be my last Freebie Friday until after the silly season.

But I have next week off, so between writing C-word cards, racking my brain trying to come up with C-word present ideas, shopping for C-word presents, wrapping C-word presents... I should still be able to squeeze in one little reading.

The first person to leave a comment* on this post will receive a free card reading**.

* Please comment with your question and tell me whether you'd prefer tarot or playing cards. You must be 18 or older, and not have had a reading here in the past 90 days.

** I will pull 3-5 cards for your question and post the reading here on the blog. In addition, I will answer one follow-up question if needed. I reserve the right to decline a request without explanation.

I fancied a change*. 😀

There will be some shake-up at work. It could be a new employee causing discontent, or changes requiring new training.

Whatever the disruption, it will be seen as unfair, but that's the way it's going to be. Use your wits to make the best of the situation.


*I found this spread in Paul Huson's "Mystical Origins of the Tarot". Without going into too much detail, the first card is the significator (I chose 8 of Wands to represent our desire for a swift and timely message), the two minors are essentially Present and Future, and the two majors above provide more detail. The King of Swords was the bottom card of the deck, which, in this instance, I looked to for advice.

Reading of the Week - #25

It can be worrying when you're confronted with The Tower in a reading, but the 9 of Clubs assures us that it's a positive change.

Things are about to improve dramatically for an older woman, or a woman on her own, who is currently dealing with illness or a stressful situation.

Bottom card: The Star. I said "Yes!" out loud when I turned this, LOL.

Do spirits know everything?

I was reading an article by Lisa Boswell on working with the spirits of your ancestors to improve your Tarot reading abilities and predictive skills.

I was getting along fine with it until I ran smack into this statement -

"... The spirits of your ancestors can tell you everything you need to know about the past, present, and future of your clients. Once they're on the other side, spirits know everything." [emphasis mine]

Everything?!

My take on that idea up to now has been "Nope". If they weren't psychic before they died, how/why would they psychic now?

On consideration, though, since I believe everything is connected in a spiritual/cosmic sense, it could be argued that once my ancestors are freed from the limitations of a physical existence, they gain unfettered access to "everything".

Buuut...

The only thing to do was ask my ancestors. So I pulled out my Skat cards (gotta use the ancestral method) and started pulling three cards at a time, trying to pin down an answer - "Do you guys know everything?"

I'm not going to share the actual readings because a) the process was too organic, with one question leading to another, leading to another..., and b) it was private conversation. 😏

What I can report, however, is that all the (somewhat guarded) responses boiled down, in the end, to "We can tell you everything you need to know."

Which I guess is all I really need to know.

Finances will soon be in place for buying that new home or starting that small business. Just double-check the paperwork.
