morning divination #1
i've learned that when i wake up in the morning with my blood up like this and everything getting to me real close, i should take a minute and do some tarot.
today i'm asking, “what is a source of peace close at hand?”
i'm using the Marigold Tarot by Amrit Brar (amritbrarillustration.com). this is my absolute favorite deck, i can't recommend it loudly enough. pay her.
i drew two cards side by side, the left representing what comes from within and the right representing what can be found outside myself.
the left-hand card is the ace of swords reversed. god, that's so me. a great amount of force brought to bear upon a situation in a single blow is sometimes both a huge risk and the only solution possible. no one's ever questioned my capacity for indiscriminate bludgeoning. if there's anything i ever have to offer, it's that.
the right-hand card is the three of rings reversed. upright, this card speaks to collaboration, delegation, and group work moving smoothly. there is a sense of machine hum. this card tends to present its reversal negatively in general, but in this placement it just signifies that the opposite situation — solitary work — is what's favorable here instead.
i asked the cards this question because i was feeling blood-up about stuff i saw on twitter; my cards efficiently responded “ignore them and bang out yr own shit by yrself.” thanks, cards.
by way of clarification, i draw a third card without shuffling: “where should i focus my efforts?”
the devil, reversed. liberation. resisting temptation into situations which hold me captive. this is literally “get off twitter.”
lmao.
