#ValidationDayTarotChallenge
Days 1 and 2
Day 1: I am...
Cards- 10 of Daggers, The Emperor, 2 and Daughter of Cauldrons
I am afraid of things the future holds. I am struggling to see the path in front of me and not finding the energy to do the things I need to do to find my way again. I am looking to find balance again, and I am learning new skills to help find that balance of things again.
Day 2: I am becoming...
Cards- The Star, 7 of Cauldrons, The Magician
I am becoming a guiding light to those around me, a beacon. I am becoming a source of foresight and wisdom, learning to predict what is coming, planning for the worst while hoping for the best. I am becoming a creator of change, taking the things I know and sharing them with the people around me.
Ok, let's take the questions one by one.
So, I had a Christian background as a little kid, and spent a lot of time not being religious/spiritual at all.
The Lady found me rather than me finding her. My friend (I'm gonna call her Hawk here) already worked with Her. Hawk already worked with the Lady, and the Lady started poking at me while my friend and I were talking. I was a little confused at first, admittedly. Hawk was willing to facilitate a conversation, and that's how the Lady and I got to talking.
The fight happened later on. The Lady noticed me and decided to reach out because she thought I had potential. Another god from a different pantheon also noticed that same potential and wanted proverbial dibs.
Hawk had to call in someone else to get them to quiet down and move the shouting match away from where it was causing me a panic attack.
This was about the same time I learned that I was real sensitive to the energies of other people and to those of the gods and goddesses. Hers felt safer to me, I guess? It's a lot of personal experience on that front for me.
It took a good month of thinking on my own to make my decision, and honestly it was a rather literal leap of faith for me. It's ...hard to explain? My intuition guided most of my decision making on that front, and with my practice in general.
I hope this all makes sense.
So, let's get this started!
Spring: Spring is the time of year when the world around me begins the process of renewal and revival. As Life reawakens from the slumber of Winter, I find it easier to get moving and do things. The lengthening days and warming outdoors draw me outside, and the sweet flowers hold me out there in the sunshine!! A lot of my bigger rituals are easier for me to pull together as the Sun comes out. I take inspiration from the return of fresh energy and clean out the old and used from winter. I also try and collect a little of the energy from this season in dried flowers and crystals!
Summer: Summer is the time of year when everything is lush and vibrant! The summer sunshine warms and charges the air and I feel more energized this time of year. I feel like my magic is more effective and so much stronger here. I always feel refreshed by the beautiful balance of the cool water of the lake I live near and the Sun beating down from overhead. The long days are often are filled with activity. I still try and collect some of the energy here too, as it feels so different from that of the other seasons and each have their uses!
Fall/Autumn: Autumn is the time of year when things are starting to hunker down and prepare for Winter's stillness and rest. This is when I try and make sure my stores of energy from the rest of the year are well maintained and I add to them from the cool of Autumn. As the nights get loner and the days begin to cool, I take advantage of the sunlight that remains and make sure things are finished. This is a time of celebration for me, and a time where I try to renew my promises to my divine family. This was the time of year where I met the majority of them and I try to thank them for their influence, their aid.
Winter: This is the time of year where everything sleeps and recovers from the activity of the year. It's when I try to conserve the energy I throw off, and try to make use of the other energy I've collected over the other seasons. The cold and lack of sunlight give me time to reflect on the events of the year and what needs to happen before Spring returns. I try to connect more with the Moon and the Stars, as this is a time when they hold sway in the calm of the night. I struggle in the cold, so I bundle up and try to hold my personal energy close, where it won't get too scattered.
I think I like this format, it'll work nice for the readings and the interpretations I like to do!
Oh yeah this is gonna be great. I'm excited.
Alright, let's give this a try!
