For this
year’s Autumn spread I’ve used the Ravens Prophecy Tarot. This deck is quite
the opposite of the Tarot of the Hidden Realm because while that deck is mostly
about people and faces, this deck is all about symbolism. I was surprised by
the amount of Court cards I got in this reading but fortunately it was easy to
relate to them.
By the
way, getting reacquainted with my
Autumnal decks after so long, makes me very happy! It feels like coming home:
warm, cozy, familiar but also completely
new.
The
potential to become and achieve whatever I want and cope with whatever comes my
way
What have I reaped? The Queen of Wands:
I feel
so much more confident to express myself in words and images and I’ve learned
that art is not only something I like to do but maybe even more a way of taking
care of myself. It feeds and fulfills my soul. I always feel so much better
after I’ve created something.
What should I be thankful for? The Queen of Coins
I am grateful
for taking better care of my body and I am also grateful to be able to be a caring
mother not only for my family but most of the time for myself as well.
Where do I still need to focus my efforts? The King of Cups
I would like
to try to really listen what others have to say; at least give them a chance to let them finish their
sentence. Also I think it is important to become more aware of my own emotional currents.
How can I achieve balance? The page of Swords
I need
to find clarity in all aspects of my life especially about my emotional well being
and for me the best way to do this is journal, journal, journal!
You too work through your cards. Those couple of Queens are following up with you from the group of four that had a conversation with you the other day. Imagery is everything. There are lots and lots of written works on Tarot but I think its the 'picture is worth a thousand words' is the key. Sure it helps to get guidance but mostly we need to listen to ourselves. Enjoy your Season of Autumn. Still ninety degrees here for a few more days then The North Wind will send us some relief next Tuesday or so.
ReplyDeleteSo happy for you the weather will change any time soon now. I love to read guidebooks and often I mix and match what I read with my own intuitive ideas. The artwork of a deck is very important to me. It has to be evocative in some way or else we will not get along! :D
DeleteHow perfect that the Page of Swords shows up to advise you to journal - something you are very adept at doing! That World card makes me think of taking an expansive look rather than a narrow one with that horizon. I imagine when you get to the mountains in the distance, you'll have an even better view. :)
ReplyDeleteThanks for your addition to World card. I love the idea to stand on the top of the mountain and to be able to look to all directions and have the wind blowing all my cobwebs away!
DeleteI know what you mean about coming back to decks and finding something new and wonderful in them! This is such a lovely reading - I clicked with it as soon as I saw it on Instagram. In the Page of Swords, I saw the need to be open to new ideas... Love your journal prompt, though, that works perfectly for it, too :)
ReplyDeleteThank you Chloe!Journaling has been always my go-to tool to find clarity; maybe even before talking to some one else. Before opening up to new ideas I want to know what my own thoughts on the matter are :)
DeleteIn quilter-speak that orange is named cheddar, one of my favorite colors.
ReplyDeleteThank you for being my friend
Aw, that is so sweet of you to say my dear Sharyn!!
DeleteOh, this is such a lovely reading. And yes, I'm excited to revisit all my autumnal decks as well.
ReplyDeleteThank you Rose! Yes, picking up these deck again is a real treat!
Deleteart is self care - thanks for reminding me of that.
