Daily Draw 3/10/17

Hello,

Here is the daily draw for March 10th, 2017!

Wahhooo!

The Wild Unknown (Charlotte): Ace of Pentacles
Happy Tarot (Giddy): Six of Pentacles
Shadowscapes (Merthur/Arlin): Six of Pentacles
Golden Thread Tarot: Seven of Pentacles

Holy pentacles Batman! It makes sense that I would draw a lot of pentacles because I recently got a new job so money and what not has been on my mind. Though it is quite funny that all my decks were like "PENTACLES!".

Anyway, what does it mean?

Whelp, I look at this as a time line. A past, present, future kind of thing. The beginning is the ace of pentacles, the beginning of my new job. The beginning of a prosperous time. The two six of pentacles cards are the present, an exchange from the ones who have (my employer) and have not (me). There is an exchange not only of just money, but opportunity to work and experience. Finally, the future, where though the work won't be done, I'll be able to harvest the fruits of my labor.

Pretty optimistic and rad overall.

The Wild Unknown (Charlotte): The Magician
The Happy Tarot (Giddy): The Hanged Man

This reading was basically a reminder that I have power, I need to broaden my horizons in terms of perspectives on myself and family, and, again, I have personal power.

Overall, a really sweet and relevant reading.

The Wild Unknown Spread Plus the Daily Draw

Hello,

I decided to do a different spread today, the Wild Unknown Spread. And here is what I drew.


From Left to Right:

1. The Past: Mother of Wands
2. Resilience: Father of Swords
3. Present: 4 of Cups
4. Challenge: 10 of Swords
5. Future: The Lovers
6. Wild Unknown: Father of Pentacles

Lots to notice here, namely that most of these cards are court or major arcana cards. Secondly, there is some swords going on.

So what does it mean?

Well, I am unsure about the past influence, but the father of swords is reminding me to be more analytical and distant from the problem. 4 of cups is to stop being greedy with emotions. To stop hiding them away and express them. The challenge is rock bottom if I don't let go of the emotions. And the future holds a union. But with who? Maybe the father of pentacles. Who by the way, keeps showing up in my Shadowscapes/ Merlin/Arthur deck.

The Daily Draw

The Wild Unknown (Charlotte): Mother of Swords
The Happy Tarot (Giddy): 8 of Cups
Shadowscapes (Merthur/Arlin): King of Pentacles

Seriously, who is the father of pentacles? At least in my life? WHO ARE YOU?! And then the 8 of cups is saying to walk away from something, but I don't know what. Or maybe that I am giving up on something I shouldn't be. And finally the mother of swords. Hmmm

Well, perhaps this is all a warning/reminder of things. I think the 8 of Cups is saying I am giving up on stuff I shouldn't be, and the Mother of Swords is saying "Hey, Don't be too critical of this, you just lost your way".

BUT WHO IS THE KING?! And how do I connect with him.

Daily Draw 2/18/17

Hello,

Here is the daily draw for February 18th, 2017!

Wild Unknown (Charlotte): Seven of Cups
Happy Tarot (Giddy): King of Pentacles
Shadowscapes: Nine of Cups

Lots to notice here. 2 cup cards. 2 that are higher numbers. A court card.

Now that that is out of the way, what does it MEAN?

Still not sure to be honest.

So lets go through card by card.

Seven of Cups: Illusion/Deception.
King of Pentacles: Seeking/Giving Fatherly Advice
Nine of Cups: Health, Prosperity, Good Fortune, Satisfaction, Wish Fulfillment.

It now reads to me like a journey I must go on. I am in an illusion about something. And must seek advice, and will then be happy.

But what am I in illusion about?

Only time will tell....

Daily Spreads for 2/16 and 2/17 PLUS BONUS EXCITMENT

Hello,

Here is the daily draw for February 16th, 2017

Wild Unknown (Charlotte): Six of Wands
Happy Tarot (Giddy): Six of Swords

I went home from college for the weekend and this reading is very much about that. The Six of Swords is to do with travel and the Six of Wands is to do with overcoming obstacles. Both were/are relevant to the situation with my family. Obviously, I was traveling physically. But I was also traveling back to a different mental/emotional space. One where I have to overcome painful obstacles with my family. We aren't there yet, but hey, we are trying. At least I am.

Here is February 17th, 2017's draw

Wild Unknown (Charlotte): The Hierophant
Happy Tarot (Giddy): Seven of Swords

I read this reading as two different messages. The one from Charlotte was definitely for today and I did get a new spiritual teacher (I will reveal that later). And I think Giddy is telling me about something to come. But what? I think it is again to do with my family. For me the seven of swords is about taking back what is yours even if it is stealing from someone else. I don't mean literally going out and stealing someone's shit. I mean emotional shit. Like with someone in my family who has certain beliefs about magic and paganism, how I have to reclaim my religion from them and reclaim my own beliefs. Very powerful.

As for Charlotte's message. I did get a new teacher who I am still becoming familiar with (obviously, we just met). And that is.......


A NEW TAROT DECK!

Yes! I am so excited to now have the third addition to my little family, the Shadowscapes deck! I'm still doing meditations and things with them, so I have not done any readings, but I will start bonding via daily draw tomorrow. Right now all I have done is gone through card by card and looked at them. And tried to meditate on one card's image, but I have too much excited energy to really focus. I'm also reading the guide book that goes with this deck.

I am very excited and blessed that I got a surprise bonus from work today so that I could afford to go out and get a new deck. And I look forward to seeing how this deck expands my view of myself and the world around me, offering a new perspective.

Daily Spread 2/15/17

Hello,

Here is the very interesting daily draw for February 15th, 2017!


Wild Unknown (Charlotte): Six of Cups
Happy Tarot (Giddy): Ten of Pentacles

The way I interpret these cards is that the theme is memories. The six of cups is a card that is about memories of childhood, innocence, reunions, pleasure/wonder of a child, and gathering of happy memories. And then the ten of pentacles is about traditions and memories, family, and abundance/generosity.

So what does that mean?

To be honest, memories didn't really show up in my day, so it wasn't a draw for what was to come that day. But rather, what is to come? I am going to be working on a Book of Shadows soon, so maybe that cards are telling me to remember some things for that process? Like to have fun and remember the child-like wonder and pleasure of craft.

These cards remain to be seen, but I feel like I am on the right path with the Book of Shadows idea.

We'll see.
