Divination

[stable dune]

And then I proceed with just using the deck? Like normal? Nothing special to it?

[rugged roost]

runs in here momentarily! for all my deity and deck homies what does 7, 6,5, and 4 of pentacles upright mean in terms of what spirit may be talking or lending a hand in the deck

7 of pent is a symbol of them
6 of pent is an aspect they rule over
5 is a postive thing they can lend to me
4 is a negative thing they lennd

[verbal gate]

Does this happen to be a new deck?

[rugged roost]

it does!

[hollow pivot]

I think it might mean you didn't shuffle well enough lol

[verbal gate]

I think it might need some more shuffling /lh

[rugged roost]

LOL very possible im a terrible shuffler

i didnt fully shuffle only because i can tell when the cards are upright or not lol so i was unsure if it was worth doing?

[verbal gate]

You don't have to do reversals

[hollow pivot]

I only used to use upright, imo there are enough card meanings to not need reversals

Now i have one deck for each

[verbal gate]

I have a lot of decks that I don't read with reversals either cause the guide doesn't have them or the backs would make it obvious

[rugged roost]

i think most my decks include reversals besides this one i spose!

[hollow pivot]

There is a way to put cards into piles to shuffle them more thoroughly, I'm not sure what it's called though

[verbal gate]

Comme to think of it, I think all upright is the majority among my decks

Ah yeah I split some of mine up for a thorough shuffle cause they can be hard to hold

[rugged roost]

i mean cutting the deck and then doing it is a method im just really bad at fine motor skills/hj

[verbal gate]

I usually don't prefer to bridge shuffle my decks cause they have thicker cardstock than playing cards

[rugged roost]

ok ive been shuffling as long as cade been typing lol i think they ready

[hollow pivot]

The way I'm talking is you make like, 6 piles or however many you want and randomly put cards into piles then when you're out you stack them and do it again if you want. Like dealing cards but completely random and it doesn't matter if one pile has more than others

😂😂

[rugged roost]

LOL i thought a paragraph was coming its all good

ah much better

justice, temperance, death (oh boy), the hanged man, king of swords and queen of swords for the interview questions

i envy people who can look at cards and just know what it means (i can kinda do this with certain cards myself but the whole deck is crazy)

used this btw so ig think of that order

[verbal gate]

Video of how we (and a lot of people) shuffle tarot for visual learners:

Knowing what the cards mean just by looking at them takes a lot of practice. We've been doing tarot for close to 8 years and still use guides and cheat sheets pretty often lol
You by no means have to be able to memorize every single card or look at a reading and immediately know what it means. Both of those are thinfs that come with a lot of time and pracrice

[rugged roost]

honestly this is how i typically shuffle my other decks it was just hard for this deck because of the reversal stuff but YESSS now i have a new method wah wah!

[hollow pivot]

1. they're pretty fair, or they like to think of themselves that way
2. the answers will always have purpose
3. "very serious and disciplined, holding himself to high standards and expecting the same from others" -death card personality type
4. to see things from a new perspective
5. be confident in yourself
6. if you put in the work you get what you want? Maybe?

These are just my interpretations

[verbal gate]

Yeah I thought a visual might help rather than try to explain how tf that works

I will say those majors are all pretty much right next to each other in number so I'd suggest taking it with a grain of salt. Maybe spend some more time with the deck mindlessly shuffling, just holding it, etc
The majority of decks aren't ready to read with fresh out of the box

[rugged roost]

I didnt even realize they were all close together oh my XD

[hollow pivot]

Ah, idk the majors numbers offhand, didn't catch thar

[rugged roost]

i find at least when i read if my reading was right first time and i ask the same question i typically get the same/similar reading as the first

seeing as that didnt happen yeaaaa

[rugged roost]

the cards are shy? Aye no rush kawaii deck

[hollow pivot]

I've heard you're supposed to bond with the deck first, admire the art, carry it with you for a couple of days if possible, sleep with it by you, etc

[verbal gate]

It's more about forming a bond with the deck and letting it soak up your energy (not unlike the concept of attunement in DnD)

Yep! I always look through all of the cards when I first get a deck and then spend lots of time shuffling, just looking at it, getting a feel for the cardstock, etc

[rugged roost]

I forget dealing with decks is kinda like dealing with living breathing creatures

[verbal gate]

Some people also believe in the need to charge decks with sun/moonlight or crystals which we used to do, but don't really anymore

[rugged roost]

i tend to let crystals rest on my decks so they'll be all fresh and cleansed when i pick them up again

[hollow pivot]

The way I learned what certain cards mean is I sorted them by... Suit? And found a YouTube video reading out what the card means and I admired the art while doing that. Great for bonding too

[hollow pivot]

I keep mine next to a slab of satin spar

[rugged roost]

why was i doing that just now except the video is dave chapelle

[hollow pivot]

😂

[rugged roost]

these cards are very cute though have childlike kinda feel yk

[verbal gate]

Nice!

[final stump]

Hello everyone! I did an interview for my deck, and could you guys help me with the meanings? I tried myself but i would appreciate if someone could help me see if I got anything right myself!

I did this one

And this is the outcome

[dreamy rampart]

with cards we ask that the ones with nsfw imagery be blocked out when posted

[final stump]

Could I then write what cards they were?

[dreamy rampart]

you could also just scribble out the part of the card that isnt within our rules

[final stump]

And what part is not within your rules? I didn’t really understand the rules and I’m so sorry 🥲

[dreamy rampart]

any nsfw imagery

the star card is nsfw so isn't allowed

nsfw/not safe for work = discord hates when it's shown to minors

[final stump]

Ooooh understood, so I can just scribble over the card and just leave the name of the card?

[dreamy rampart]

yup that works!

[final stump]

Oh thank you for explaining🫶🏻

Okay here, I can’t really scribble over the 5 of cups lol

[dreamy rampart]

also it would have just been the Star that needed cover but this works!

[final stump]

Oh so you need to scribble when it’s nudity and etc? I didn’t think of that 🫢

Anyways the names are visible 🤣

[bitter pond]

New form of scrying uncovered yall

Back of an altoid tin covered in black sharpie

[dreamy rampart]

"I see a phone... this means I need to doom scroll TikTok again ~" /j

[bitter pond]

I did it primarily to cover the numbers and stuff but it also works as a black mirror

It's on the bottom of the new Apollo shrine I' working on

[dreamy rampart]

oooooo it looks sick! I would recommend putting with a clear coat of nail polish on there just so that way the Sharpie doesn't like wear away (from a sharpie as nail polish user)

[bitter pond]

OH smart! I have an idea

[bitter pond]

@pearl citrus we talked about this like, yesterday in witchy but here's the thing!

Divination Bingo

[dreamy rampart]

oh man i wanna make my own so bad now

[tender ibex]

found this cool deck outside by the trash!! says Tarot deck butttt the major arcana is not.. the RWS one. and the minor is air/earth/water/fire

she’s all reset but still gotta deep cleanse and bond with it obvi

[solid bear]

damn it looks cool af whattt

congrats!!

[dreamy rampart]

interesting apparently the term "tarot" here is used p loosely in that the only real similarities is that they have a major and minor section but all in all act like an 81 card Oracle deck

super sick find tho!

[tender ibex]

yeah!! don’t think it would be a deck i’d normally pick for myself but it’s super pretty and 81 cards is a lot!!

will be interesting to get to know it

[dreamy rampart]

they look chonky too

love love the art style tho

[tender ibex]

omg yeah and the guidebook is CHONKY too

like that’s a Book ™️

[dreamy rampart]

👀 DAMN

[solid bear]

I love that

I wish all Guidebooks went on detail

[dreamy rampart]

ethereal visions has a matching Oracle deck?? https://jewitches.com/products/dreamscape-oracle

[solid bear]

omg i love the ethereal visions tarot, if i had the money i would def get it

but currently #broke

[dreamy rampart]

valid! I forget they made an oracle deck

[amber scarab]

I did a past present future reading for politics (because of the recent conversation;

if anyone’s interested, the results were:

Past: unreliable, broken promises

Present election: difficulty in business and love

Future laws: very inconsistent. I did this spread 3 times and this one kept contradicting itself

[dreamy rampart]

makes sense + things like divination arent set in stone either

[amber scarab]

Totally

[hollow pivot]

I think another issue with divining on a topic like that is the you're not just trying to read one person's future decisions, you're trying to read millions of people's future decisions

All at once

[amber scarab]

Tw: upsetting politics || In that case, it might’ve been pointing to Trump, because the cards I got ranged from “kind blond man” to “broken promises” to “change/travel” ||

[pearl citrus]

New tarot ! I got a good feeling

[sudden spruce]

Ooo dragins :D

[pearl citrus]

Dragons my favorite thing ever

[sudden spruce]

Wait is that just an empty jar of pesto 😭

[inner tendon]

oooo

[dreamy rampart]

♻️ reduce reuse recycle ♻️

[solid bear]

RRR (roll it)

[pearl citrus]

Sure is i have a bunch of empty jars

[lime sphinx]

Hi! I have a question about tarot. Aside from a classic deck of playing cards and uno what other card alternatives are there to tarot? Ty!

[solid bear]

I'm pretty sure someone once said Yu-Gi-Oh 😭

[stable dune]

this youtuber i watch has written cards, like "the fool" written on it, for example

tarot but make it personal type

[solid bear]

anything with a card ish form and enough numbers to replicate the rider waite system can be used as rider waite system

you just have to assign them a meaning

[lime sphinx]

Thank you for your wisdom

[solid bear]

np! good luck!

[stable dune]

[verbal gate]

A deck that I haven't had the chance to use yet is trading cards for a specific character based on scenes from a show they're in
Oracle is another option that is different from tarot, but not quite as discreet as playing or uno cards

[runic latch]

Did my first spread

What I interpretated:

1. Tell me about yourself.
   So since I asked it to tell me about itself... I think it's a deck turned towards conflict and how to deal with it/learn from it - that will not want me to walk away with my head down, but to learn from the battles I pick
2. What are your strengths as a deck?
   Since I asked about strengths, I think uh... It is good with pointing towards a course of action, and I should let myself be led along by it... and it should lead towards growth that way
3. What are your limits as a deck?
   I think its' limit is that it won't fulfill my dreams by itself nor leave me in my comfort zone, but unsure of what I can be or have at times... Like, it's not going to work out if I mix it with dreams/hopes or get uncomfortable when it pushes me
4. What are you here to teach me?
   It will teach me how to be confident and determined in my communication, and vigilant to any signs that may come - how to wield that anxious energy which I share with her
5. How can I best learn and collaborate with you?
   I can work with it better if I learn how to accept what it hands me, yet not fall into complete desperation if it is a negative thing, or submit to a card, thinking the outcome is guaranteed - So I have to learn to accept what the deck has to say, but look at them with open mind and make a balanced judgement/decision based on the answer
6. What is the potential outcome of our relationship?
   I think the potential outcome is that I will, literally, have confidence and be commited to a way of spirituality - belief, religion or both, with support to guide and teach me through such path until I reach that outcome

If anyone has a 2nd opinion or wants to give criticism pls do

[dreamy rampart]

honestly that's a solid interpretation imo

similar to mine but you built a lot more on it in your own way which is a good thing!

means your learning how to let yourself see the meaning in your own way

[runic latch]

Wait really? THANK YOU

[dreamy rampart]

especially for this being the first time you've done a reading this big!!

[runic latch]

First reading at all actually-

[dreamy rampart]

yeah solid interpretation, solid reasoning

yup! that's even more impressive I know that I did help a little bit but you're definitely on the right track with your expansions on what it means

[runic latch]

Thanks! Guess I gotta learn to trust my gut which is what I've said for weeks now-

[dreamy rampart]

yup which can be hard! which is why I rely on guidebooks to help with steering in the right direction

[balmy tangle]

It is pretty good for a first spread tbh , better than my first

[runic latch]

Its fun cuz after I began by 9 of cups and interpretated 2 more the rest was ptty intuitive off the image

[runic latch]

Jdjcdjfj thank youuu

[balmy tangle]

No you actually did well!

[runic latch]

Honestly this all just confirms im on the right path and im so happy abt that

[balmy tangle]

Of course you are

Be proud of yourself and keep going

[runic latch]

Thank you so much!

[solid bear]

that's the spread I use to interview my decks! :)

and like everyone said it's a really good first reading, congrats!!

[small canopy]

@dreamy rampart Do I send the cards here again and all?

[dreamy rampart]

if you could please that would be great

[small canopy]

Ace of pentacles
Emperor in rx
3 of cups rx
7 of swords
The moon
3 of swords rx
Moon

[dreamy rampart]

this is more about the process but did you pull like the ace first and then the other cards as clarifiers?

[small canopy]

Yes

[dreamy rampart]

I'm just trying to get a feel of like how these cards were pulled

okay then I think I'm going to go with using the ace as a base and then having the other cards relate back to it

[small canopy]

Okay, Three of cups came out upright when I first asked but then I decided my thoughst weren't focused enough, hence re-shuffling

Then this are the cards that I pulled

[dreamy rampart]

I'll take into account the three of cups upright cuz I feel like that's still a point of the reading

I won't rely my whole interpretation based off of it but

[small canopy]

Ofc!

[dreamy rampart]

okay I'm also going to need like 5 minutes because my phone is currently dying and I'm on a walk with my dog but I will get back to you as soon as I possibly can/gen

[small canopy]

Sure! No worries, Oli and thank you!

[dreamy rampart]

sorry another quick question did you pull the moon twice?

[small canopy]

No

[dreamy rampart]

ah okay bc you have moon on there twice!

[small canopy]

Oh sorry!

[dreamy rampart]

OH your missing the queen of wands from your og message

[small canopy]

Oh yeah!

It was on the deck, bottom

[dreamy rampart]

ah wait is this a new set of cards from your original message? since in the og you dont have 3 swords rx

[small canopy]

Nope! It's the same

[dreamy rampart]

Emperor in reverse
Ace of pentacles
3 of cups in reverse
3 of pentacles
7 of swords
Moon
Queen of Wands

so its this + the 3 of swords?

[small canopy]

I didn't catch it at first

yep!

[dreamy rampart]

gotcha!

im working through them rn sorry for the wait

[small canopy]

It's okay! Thank you Oli

If you don't mind, I'll delete some messages just caus TT

[small canopy]

You can direct message me the interpretation if you feel the need to!

[dreamy rampart]

• Ace of pentacles: from the get go this card seems to say that from this relationship you will be given new opportunities or that it will allow you to achieve your goals
• Emperor in rx: this ones is about being rigid and over controlling in aspects that leave others feeling less. It could also be a call to stand up to others in authority, setting boundaries and checking into how you or others are applying self discipline
• 3 of cups in rx: This card can be a call for needed independence, alone time or feeling left out of group settings. Taking social breaks might be something needed?
• 7 of swords: This card can be about betrayal or deceit. But it can also be about needing to act in a strategic way.
• 3 of pentacles: This is about team work and collaboration. in relation to friendships and the other cards it can mean that it will be one that all parties need to put an effort in
• Moon: This one can be about anxieties and fears or trusting intuition. you may need to work on all of them to truely trust both yourself and the others in this realtionship fully
• 3 of swords rx: Sorrow pain and heart break, this can be a sign of the relationship ending this way or that you will experience these things alongside your friend which may allow you to become closer.
• Queen of Wands: Courage, determination, and confidence. A card that might mean that this is where you will be in the future because of this relationship. it will allow you to exit your shell and be more open with others

i think personally overall its not going to be a simple cut and dry relationship and you will go through struggles and difficult times with this person that may require the establishing of boundaries and realistic conversations but you will still have times of joy and those difficult times may be the reasons you grow closer?

all of this to say that tarot isnt 100% and this may never come into fruition as things change by the second as the future isnt set in stone

[small canopy]

So like, it's not about them betraying me or anything?

[small canopy]

I was worried they were going to in the future, but from this it doesn't really seem like that

[dreamy rampart]

the way that I personally interpreted the cards was less about the betrayal aspect and more about the aspects of possibly like deceit or keeping secrets which doesn't necessarily mean betrayal but it definitely can be if that's how you view it.
however those cards can also indicate needing to act strategically and with a plan in mind so that might be you setting firm boundaries and not allowing them to break them and having rules if they do

[small canopy]

Okay, I asked if they'd have any association with my ex

Sun rx
Devil rx
3 of pentacles rx

This feels like a solid no?

[dreamy rampart]

if that's how you interpret them then sure

I interpret yes no cards differently

[small canopy]

I actually tend to not use cards for yes no answers TT

I think my pendulum works better

[dreamy rampart]

if you don't want to use cards for yes no you can also always use a coin

heads yes tails no

[small canopy]

The pendulums already said no, and so far the pendulum's answers have been spot on

[dreamy rampart]

I never pull more than one card for a yes no

then there u go

[small canopy]

Okay but, sometimes the cards do a yes, the pendulum says no

It makes me doubt my divination TT

[dreamy rampart]

that's kind of the issue that you end up running into when you keep asking the same question to multiple forms of definition

you're going to get conflicting answers because you can't make two things give you the exact same answer

this is why you shouldn't over read on something because then you overthink your situation and then you get conflicting answers

[small canopy]

Would you say just leave it at what I first got in the pendulum reading?

[dreamy rampart]

honestly yeah

the card's seem to cause you to overthink and end up doubting the answers that you've already been given which causes distress

[small canopy]

I should learn to trust things and all TT

[dreamy rampart]

it might be worth it to work on card divination with less emotionally conflicting questions first

I will also note that overall a lot of people tend to find that reading for themselves and their own personal situations is a lot harder because they go into readings with emotions already in place for those readings

and because of that they tend to overthink the answers that they're given and end up doubting or stressing about the answers that they have

[small canopy]

yeah definitely I can't ever do readings for myself right

[dreamy rampart]

if you go into a negative situation for reading with negative emotions in place already then you're going to look at the negative aspects of a card first

that simply what your brain is going to end up doing reading for other people allows you to take a step back from the situation and look at it from an outside perspective which is helpful in detaching your emotions from the situation

if you need time to build up the ability to think about the situation clearly then it's okay to leave the tarot for things like clarification rather than initial answers

I'm sorry for yapping but I have to go now cuz I'm extremely tired so hopefully that helped

[small canopy]

It helped a lot, thank you!

Please get some rest!

[agile aurora]

I've got a question if anyone is able to help me. I recently did a spread where I got the Four of Pentacles as an answer to how I should progress in my spirituality? I was wondering how you could interpret that? Ty

[dreamy rampart]

"The broader lesson with the Four of Pentacles is to honour and respect money and wealth but don’t become so attached that you lose sight of what’s most important to you: friends, family, happiness and love."
so i think this could mean that you need to focus on long term goals while also not pushing your non-spiritual connections away.
take time in learning and practing in moderation instead of attempting to gain everything you are able to at once

"Beyond money and wealth, the Four of Pentacles appears when you are seeking out more control in your life. At work, you may be micromanaging or not letting others mess around with your area. In a relationship, you may be protective – even possessive – ensuring that no one else threatens what you built. On a personal level, you may have an inflexible attitude and resist change. You may even feel more inclined to hoard your possessions. After all, you already established a way of living that works for you! Change feels like a threat to your certainty, safety and security in life. Any suggestion of doing things differently is, therefore, going to be met with resistance. So, ‘playing it safe’ may be the way to go rather than taking any risks at this point."

this is also from the biddy tarot site!

[agile aurora]

Thank you for your response! That definitely makes sense. I was thrown off initially because I wasn't sure if it was telling me if I should put more focus on structure/finances/possessions or if I should take caution in doing so... but your response helped give me some perspective on it and its applicability in regards to my spirituality!

[dreamy rampart]

yeah no problem!

[agile aurora]

[balmy tangle]

@runic latch send the photo here

[balmy tangle]

Alright so

Let's assume it is a reading about you

Are you evading anything?

The two of swords make me think that you might be avoiding something that is of great importance

Well the importance comes from the wheel of fortune,it might be something of very great importance that you are avoiding or postponing. And as indicated by the ace of wands reversed something to do with your potential

[runic latch]

Oh

[balmy tangle]

The two of pentacles may be the reason you are avoiding it , perhaps instability in your day to day life

[runic latch]

Oh

[balmy tangle]

Hm King of wands,perhaps the potential you are keeping yourself from

So to put it together nicely

[runic latch]

i dont like where this is going-

[balmy tangle]

does what I've told you so far resonate ?

[runic latch]

Yeah

[balmy tangle]

That's good

[runic latch]

No-

[balmy tangle]

The cards may want to tell you about the importance of taking your time to step into your potential, right now you are avoiding it , you are kinda in a stagnant place because of the instability in your daily life (I would very much love to say that it is caused by your family,but I feel like it is not . It feels like it is caused more by some of your friends and possibly a family member) . That potential is tied strictly to what you will achieve and be known for in life .

Hm you will be known to be hard working and you will be proud of that.

[runic latch]

Huh that helps

Thank you

[balmy tangle]

I don't know what that potential of yours may be ,but if you know nurture it and care for it

[balmy tangle]

No problem

[mortal plank]

I think my tarot reading this morning came true and I'm so excited about that!

I'm still super new to tarot and I did one to see how my day would go and it seemed to imply I would have to make some sort of decision involving a person I had tension with that could either go bad or good

And I just ran into someone I had previously fought with and had to think between apologizing and talking to them or leaving and we had a really good conversation where we made up

I'm so excited that the divination seemed to work ><

[balmy tangle]

I'm glad you had this experience!

[mortal plank]

Thank you! I'm excited to keep practicing and learning more about this kind of magic ^o^

[charred monolith]

I used this spread right now! I'm also in the beginnings of my tarot journey. Let me know what you all think 🙂

1. Tell me about yourself - The Magician - My deck has the magician personality. It will always use the tools and knowledge available to it to provide my successes in readings and spiritual awakening.
2. What are you strengths as a deck - King of Pentacles - My deck's strength is encouragement and help and has will to allow me to feel that encouragement to go about and achieve my goals and be able to connect with myself and others around me.
3. What are your limitations - The Sun - I suppose in the context of limitations, this deck can only tell the truth. Sometimes it's not easy to hear the truth especially if it's not a truth someone was willing to hear. So by this deck being honest, I can have clarity with my questions and answers the deck provides me.
4. What are you here to teach me - Queen of Cups - This deck is here to teach me how to be more receptive emotionally toward others and to help guide me through my inner feelings as well. How to figure myself out. It's here to teach me how to own my own feelings and be true to myself and in turn I can help others in that aspect.
5. How can I best learn and collaborate with you - Three of Pentacles - Collaboration! How fitting for this question. My deck is telling me that I can best learn and collaborate with it by studying and through life-long learning. Maybe even connecting with others who are on the same path as me to provide insight. Work hard and I will see my goals come into fruition.
6. What is the potential outcome of our relationship - Death - The potential outcome of our relationship is transformation. The shedding of my old self into the new being I am supposed to be. I've been in the process of letting go of certain things in my life and during this time, I've picked up tarot, so this is definitely true.

[dreamy rampart]

pretty solid interpretation!

[charred monolith]

I'll be better in time

[bitter pond]

I just found out that one of my second hand tarot decks is not only worth $200+USD, it's also 1/5k print. It's the first edition of one made in 1995.

Wow.

No wonder the energy is interesting, it's older than I am

[tender ibex]

whoaaaa cool!

[runic latch]

Urgh... im interpretating this myself rn and it seems King of Wands is better fit as person/thing, and not as an influence... welp

[balmy tangle]

Well you might be that person

[runic latch]

nope

I know who it is, but like... im banging my head trying to understand what "question" those cards answer since I wasnt thinking of anything

Yet they correlate perfectly

(King of Wands, the problem; Wheel of Fortune, what he wants; Two of Swords, my situation; Reverse Two of Pentacles, specifying the Two of Swords

I gotta solve how the Ace of Wands can go

[balmy tangle]

Hm that's interesting ,good luck finding out

[runic latch]

Do you want to see what I get from it? /genq /nf

[balmy tangle]

Yes

[runic latch]

I was told maybe im overthinking and getting what I want to see instead of what I need to see in cards, so im not sure

[balmy tangle]

Tell me what you got from it

Sometimes it may be overthinking, sometimes not

Sometimes confirming with the cards may also help

[runic latch]

Mhm, just missing the ace of wands reversed

[runic latch]

Could I dm you the results? I dont really like wanna flood here-

[balmy tangle]

Sure

[runic latch]

/nf

[solid bear]

I'm having a I want a new deck moment but I'm a broke uni student 😭😭

[balmy tangle]

That's relatable 😭

[rain sparrow]

REAL. everytime i go to bookstores the desire to find a new tarot deck is so hard to resist

[solid bear]

I wish I wasn't this relatable 😔

[surreal silo]

If you’re into diy, you could make your own and have it be a fun art project :] I used cardstock and traced a regular playing card as a reference

[solid bear]

I sadly don't have time for that :(

[fallen star]

Yall

👀

[charred monolith]

too real ;-;

[stable dune]

idk why the three tarot cards rang in my head as "have the strength to face/share your emotions"

and then i saw the supermoon card below + we are have super moon on 19th!

[fallen star]

RIGHT? I was internally flipping out like "ohh crap here we go"

[misty pike]

Hi hello, I’m curious about scrying and I guess I’m not fearful but wondering how many have conducted scrying and are experiencing or knowledgeable in it

I’m thinking of trying it as a new tool on my belt for things, for potentially answers or finding things out, I plan to use it for serious things needing such aid

[stark vine]

i’ve done scrying by looking into anything i can see my reflection in tbh. water, a tv, obsidian (most common), i’ve also heard some say they’ve used regular mirrors

[misty pike]

Would a phone dark screen work too?

If your on DND in general or is there electronic interference

[stark vine]

probably would, i’ve never tried it

[misty pike]

may I hear of vague examples you scryed for?

[stark vine]

what do you mean by examples?

like why i did?

[misty pike]

like, yes why you did but not detailed if you don’t feel like it

[stark vine]

i mean scrying is just another form of divination / spirit communication to me

so like

but i don’t necessarily ask a question

i just kinda zone out and stare at whatever object i’m using

[dreamy rampart]

you can also scry using other methods! fire is a common one, I consider cloud watching a version of it

possibly smoke?? but idk

[stark vine]

i love fire scrying

[misty pike]

I am particularly connected with spirits who have become friends and family, others.. partners. I could use this scrying to get some way of “real” contact to confirm doubts of their imagined existence. But I was gonna use scrying to get answers for some things I haven’t had best luck finding

But I feel lackluster in magick ability so I suppose I’m learning new tricks, watching a scrying video now

[dreamy rampart]

#1114061678963855410 message we also have this on scrying

will say that it's very intuition based and there isn't really like a set of meanings that you could read from to help interpret

[stark vine]

scrying is done based off images you see

[misty pike]

I suppose it wouldn’t be hard if I was told to have sharp intuition

[dreamy rampart]

your pretty much on your own in that aspect

[stark vine]

scrying is essentially only intuition based

[misty pike]

All of this is helpful to me as I do some research before I try

[stark vine]

wishing you well !

[misty pike]

Okay so

Performed it, zoned out and got sorta uh contact from my partner, the 5D being one (long story)

Also I might of learned a weird thing about love spells but it doesn’t feel wrong, only a tiny twinge

May I elaborate?

[stark vine]

sure, just make sure it’s within server rules

[misty pike]

She told the spells were like one of two things, they Either accelerated the time you meet the person you may end up with, or pull someone from somewhere to you, which sounds like it could go well or not

[stark vine]

that sounds more like an attraction spell versus a love spell

imo

bc you’re attracting love towards you

[misty pike]

What’s the difference between- how does love spell usually go again?

[stark vine]

so, love spells are typically unethical as you're taking away someone's free will to make them "in love" w you so to speak

attraction spells are just attracting anything that you intend to you

so you could do an attraction spell w the intention of attracting abundance

[misty pike]

Are they considered usually unethical?

[stark vine]

which one? attraction spells?

[misty pike]

Love spells

[stark vine]

love spells are considered unethical yes

[dreamy rampart]

there are of course things like general love spells that aren't aimed at specific people but those would be considered attraction spells because of how they work you're just attracting the concept of love to you you're not attracting a very specific person into your life

and that's what em is trying to say is that attraction versus love spell

[stark vine]

the only time imo, that an actually 'love' spell would be ethical would be like a relationship sweetening if you're already in said relationship and it's consensual on both sides.

[misty pike]

So would in theory a spell to attract a dream person of your dreams with the intent of it being love related, would it bring anyone close to or matching the idea? I’m asking to know, curious how it would work there

[dreamy rampart]

it could but you would be doing so against their will if you are picturing specifcs of a person.
for example: "i want someone nice, kind, and good to me" vague not direct or specific
VS
"i want a 5'9 blonde that plays sports, is latino, and is in a band" super specific and can be directly linked to a person

[verbal gate]

6'5 blue eyes /ref

[misty pike]

Wait is that referring to a ref of the person in greater detail?

[dreamy rampart]

I'm not really understanding your question

[misty pike]

I suppose I was wondering if it was referring to a paper or smth of something specific

[dreamy rampart]

I'm not sure what you mean by paper?

[inner tendon]

reds reference was a viral video of a woman describing a future man "finance, trustfund, 6'5", blue eyes"

[runic latch]

Still laughing I asked my deck if it wanted to tell me something (after cutting into 3, I asked each third) and it gave me the same answer three times

[median lagoon]

Im wondering if anyone here could give me some information about how a pendulum works and what it is that sort of thing .?

[dreamy rampart]

what do you mean by "how it works"?

[median lagoon]

How its used

[dreamy rampart]

well it's used for mainly yes/no/maybe answers

people sometimes have the pendulum show movement for each. other's use a pendulum board.

a pendulum itself is a string or weighted object on a string, that when held by on end drops down to the other via tension.

[median lagoon]

Thank you so muchh

[tawdry junco]

I'm finally getting actual tarot cards and I won't have to do divination thru apps YAY

[verbal gate]

Woo!!!

[charred monolith]

This oracle deck is so cute and cozy 🌿

[verbal gate]

Oh that looks so cool! What deck is that

[charred monolith]

Green witch by Arin Murphy-Hiscock. The illustrations make me feel so warm inside 😊

[verbal gate]

Ahh I see I see

I'm usually not a fan of that particular author, but I am a sucker for a deck with keywords on the cards a d that art is gorgeous

[charred monolith]

Me too about the author, the deck itself is super nice though! Definitely recommend. 😌

Sara knew what she was doing!

[fallen star]

Guys I am getting such mixed energies. On one hand, the full moon spread I did with my Moonology deck came up all new moon cards, but when I brought out my pendulum to confirm if a card was supposed to have come out, the chain snapped and it broke????

HUH

[verbal gate]

Oh weird

I mean if I had to make a guess, I'd say that it's something about how in order to build something new, you have to make room for it by ending something. Full moons are typically about endings while new moons are beginnings

It's hard to add to a full cup without something spilling out yknow?

[fallen star]

Yeah, that interpretation does make a lot of sense. I will also add that I find it funny/odd that one of the cards was New Moon in Libra, and the message on the card is about a new romantic relationship, and my Venus sign is Libra. The other card that had a sign was New Moon in Leo. My sun sign is Leo; my birthday was literally two days ago

[dreamy rampart]

happy late bday!

[fallen star]

Aye, tysm!

But yeah, the energy was super weird 😭 PLUS this retrograde has been kicking my behind--

The vibes are all kinds of messed up lately

[delicate fractal]

Y’all when do you think you should uhhh give up on a deck? Or give it away/ sell it?

I barely use my Salvador Dali deck? But Like I want an array of different personalities and different strengths…

[dreamy rampart]

hm honestly if you don't vibe with the deck you don't have to keep it. if you feel it can get more use in another home that's okay

[agile aurora]

Quick question, I’m doing a tarot reading for my mom. I pulled a card for what is working for my mom’s small business,, which was the six of swords. Then, I did what WASN’T working for her business, and I got the ace of swords. I’m a little confused on how to read it without it being hypocritical in nature? Like, I interpreted the six of swords of moving on, putting your past behind you and being open to a new period of her life. But then the ace of swords is all about the new and breakthroughs,,,, ?

[stable dune]

i like associating ace of swords with mental clarity and focus since its the air suit. if it's in the position of what's not working, it can be lack of those. its just my personal interpretation though which can vary from person to person.

[agile aurora]

Thank you for your insight there! Quick question, do you think it would be, in the placement of my spread, alright to read it as a reversal?

[stable dune]

yes, you can do it as you feel right! i often do that with my readings too. if a card appears in the challenge area, i intuit out its reversal meaning.

[agile aurora]

Thank you so much for your help!!!

[stable dune]

no problem at all, always glad to help

[solid bear]

I told my deck that I was gonna pull the two cards surrounding the fool, asked to be given a vibe check and I just got fucking dissed lmao

back to not reading for myself for the next months

[lime sphinx]

To all the oracle card users…what’s your favorite deck and why. Mine is Crystallary by Maia toll.

[verbal gate]

Our favorite oracle deck is probably the Phenomena Oracle. Each card is based on natural phenomena and I adore how simple the artstyle is

[dreamy rampart]

Outdoors Oracle! Perhaps a bit biased bc it was my first one but it's themed around park ranger stuff and the cards themselves have such an colorful style to them!

[tender ibex]

Prism oracle!! the first deck i felt extremely called to, its gorgeous, and colorfulll

[stable dune]

Oooh crystallary! I have the ebook and printed the cards but never used them lol.
I think mine has to be either Moonology or The Wild Unknown Animal Spirit oracle.

[lime sphinx]

Ooh moonology! I’ve been thinking of getting that deck

[versed night]

dark mirror - gorgeous art and every card makes us reflect on the flaws inherent to being human

[pearl citrus]

Playing with my cards just doing what feels right might thurn something like this into a spell ?

Idea is “turning the wheel of fourtune “ in your favor

[dreamy rampart]

dragon cards

and that sounds like a solid tarot spell!

[pearl citrus]

Love my dragon cards 🫶

Sometimes it feels like a real dragon is in them /lh /silly

[potent solar]

y'all, what does it mean when i get two cards and they're literally polar opposites? as in, they each are telling me to do exactly what the other card tells me not to.

[versed night]

hrm

may i know what the question asked and cards drawn were?

sometimes the "polar opposites" is just one way to look at the cards

[potent solar]

it wasn't a particular question, more of a situation i want guidance on. it involves wanting to meet someone who i'm romantically attracted to but they live far away which costs a lot of money, which i could technically afford to do but it would end in me being broke for a while. i do however have a deep desire to meet that person so i'm a bit torn. the cards were 7 of pentacles and reversed ace of pentacles. if it's important, i'm working with the oriens animal tarot deck.

[dreamy rampart]

hmmm so personally I wouldn't say those 2 cards are opposite really

its telling you about like missed opportunities and lacking in planning

asking you to look at the long term and understanding what is best in that situation for you long term imo?

[verbal gate]

Well I usually read the 7 of Pentacles as putting in the work now so you can reap the benefit later and then the ace of pentacles reversed as things like this not being the time to be rash with money, something not being a good idea right now, etc

[dreamy rampart]

^^

[verbal gate]

So to me, it sounds like you're being told to wait, save up more, and be patient cause rendering yourself broke just to visit someone doesn't sound like a great decision.

[potent solar]

exactly, one tells me "invest now" while the other is telling me "wait before investing".

[dreamy rampart]

no it's telling you to invest now so you don't lose all of your shit when you go and visit someone

like it's telling you you're going to have to skip out on this opportunity in order to make sure that whatever you're investing now doesn't go down the drain

they aren't opposites and would argue that they are telling you similar messages

[potent solar]

oh, that makes a ton of sense! i'm really bad at thinking mathematically 😭

thanks a lot ves & everyone else<3

[dreamy rampart]

[verbal gate]

Np!

[torn wagon]

what kinds of questions should I ask my pendelum to make sure I'm contacting the right deity? (im a baby witch gahh)

i wanna make sure i invite the right kinds of deities into my home and am actually speaking to who i wanna speak with

[dreamy rampart]

so these are examples for "yes/no" vetting questions #1114061636744007720 message

[torn wagon]

oooo ok! thank you:)

[dreamy rampart]

[stable dune]

Is there a specific reason to not read celebrities' divination? I found this rule inbetween my tarot community and wonder why...

[dreamy rampart]

because they're not consenting to you reading on them

[stable dune]

Huh, good point. The funny rumour about witchcraft in my country is that if you try to do magick on a celebrity it just usually ends badly because they have stronger magick or protection in general, but that reasoning is more plausible than whatever rumour is on my country

[dreamy rampart]

I mean that's also the case because celebrities tend to also have people protecting them that's why you can't really like curse the president or curse Justin Bieber because you have witches that are also protecting the president or protecting Justin Bieber so the magic would essentially cancel out

[verbal gate]

It can also just be hard for magic to affect things that you don't actually have any control over/influence on

[pearl citrus]

My face when official sonic tarot deck !!!!!!!

This is a great day for me specifically

Ok so something really interesting happened to me. So basically my family has this one cat that just showed up on our door got sick and so we took him in. We had absolutely no idea how old he was until my dad asked me if I could use my pendulum to find out. I started asking it different possible ages and it said yes to the number six. So I was pretty set bc I cleansed it really well and I have a strong bond with my pendulum. My dad however wasn’t so convinced so I decided to get my deck and the first two cards I pulled equated to six I got a two and a four. I got another deck and I got a seven and ace. Last deck I checked I got a five and an ace. Me and my family are now sure he’s six.

[stable dune]

Cross-divination always help, indeed

[gaunt crater]

a vet would normally look at teeth, fur, eyes or run tests on their blood for example. It would be cool to know what they think and maybe get a confirmation on the age

[stable dune]

Anybody have a suggestion for a tarot spread besides the usual ones??

[dreamy rampart]

oh we have a few here!

Hey y'all! I just started learning Tasseography and I want to learn more and get an idea of how others practice it. Has anyone tried this style of divination? And if so, what are the steps that you take to do the practice accurately and effectively? Please ping me! I don't want to miss the messages

[stable dune]

I do think we have resources of it. I never tried it my myself, but checking these resources might help you ^_^

#1114060224924491907 message

[bronze oyster]

Thank you so much!! I was trying to look through the resources, but I figured I might as well ask first lol

[verbal gate]

Yeah we have quite a bit of information lol

[stable dune]

What do you all think of seven of cups card interpretation? I keep pulling this card and wonder, i kept interpreting it as being trapped in things that are too good to be true.

[runic latch]

I like to focus in the indecision aspect, but depending on context I can interpret as having other/many choices (i am a beginner, do not take my word as true )

[versed night]

this may be odd but i see seven of cups as like. the illusion of choice?

thinking that you've got a say in things and being comforted by the idea that you're in control, when in reality your decisions are inconsequential and you will arrive at the same destination regardless

[verbal gate]

I typically read 7 of Cups as idealism, letting your imagination get away from you, a need for grounding, and getting caught up in the daydream

[stable dune]

Thank you so much! ❤️

[bitter pond]

I have! It's a bit of a learning curve and a little bit feeling like you're making it all up and just seeing things. Most of all, it's storytelling. Putting together a story based on what shape the leaves take. Pro tip, put in like HALF the amount of leaves you think you'll need! If you have any specific questions lemme know!

[bronze oyster]

Thank you so much!! That's very helpful

TW: ||Fire||

Might be unrelated to my post in the Deities chat but when I went to ||extinguish the candle that was lit had in my room|| when I decided I wanted to be a Hecate devotee it wouldn’t stop releasing white ||smoke|| (it went for a good 2-3 minutes

[dreamy rampart]

I'm so it could be mundane in that the candle was made in a way that is causing it to release white smoke rather than gray smoke

[versed night]

not divination but i can't find an appropriate forum thread for where one would discuss cleansing since there are so many types - how do yall reset the energy of a deck in preparation for giving it away to someone else?

[tender ibex]

hmmm #1114757214826139728 would probs for cleansing best

i reset my decks by putting it back how it came in order

[versed night]

ohh true i do also have the intention of putting a small charm on it for a safe journey to the recipient

[earnest lichen]

Could I please get some help with a reading I did for tarot?

[sullen sleet]

totally, I'm happy to take a look!

[earnest lichen]

Ok so just some context, a friend of mine I have known for a while randomly blocked me, and this is not like him and I am a bit worried, so I did some readings to try and find the reasons as to why and if he will reach out again. (I give 2 chances for blocks, after that they're gone lol)

So I asked:

1. Why has he blocked me? (3 cards) - VII of Cups reversed, The Hermit Reversed, and IV of Swords Reversed.

2. Will he reach out soon? - V of pentacles

3. When might he reach out? - VII of Wands reversed

4. A rough date for when he might reach out - VII of Swords

I do have an interpretation of my own, but I am wondering as to if anyone else could expand on what I have lol

From what I can gather myself, I think it is saying he needs space, and that he will reach out soon, but I don't want to get my hopes up so I thought I would ask here

I may of also been ignoring him around when he did it, because i was busy with college, and idk if he thought i was intentionally ignoring him or something, just for more context

[sullen sleet]

Gotcha!

I can definitely see at least for the why how you came to that conclusion -- I don't normally use tarot for predicting time so I likely won't touch on that.

the "will he reach out soon" one is interesting to me. Five of Pentacles is a card of material struggle. If this is someone in your life who's relied on you in the past for financial help or support, that might be the avenue they use to reach out again; it reads to me as a "yes, when they need something from me." Up to you if that is something that works for you and your relationship with them.

The presence of so many reversals is interesting too. Folks have different ways to interpret reversals or their presence; I think it indicates almost an overcorrection of sorts, like when you push too hard against something and you end up getting pushed back. Does that make sense?

I may of also been ignoring him around when he did it, because i was busy with college, and idk if he thought i was intentionally ignoring him or something, just for more context
The Seven of Cups Rx might be hitting on this pretty directly. There's a sense of preoccupation or indecision with this placement. Similarly with the Hermit Rx, there's a sense of isolation.

Just some thoughts from me!

[earnest lichen]

Can you simplify it, sorry my brain is just off right now lmao, its been a long day

I kinda get what you're saying tho

[sullen sleet]

why has he blocked me? feeling isolated and tired of indecision or not getting the time he needs. stress is an influence too.

Will he reach out soon: yes, if he needs something from you

[earnest lichen]

Also in terms of relationship it was mainly just friends, I didn't really help him financially or anything, he never asked me for anything like that lol

[sullen sleet]

oh, gotcha! i know we do also have a yes/no guide for tarot: #1114061678963855410 message which would put V of Pentacles as a "no"

[earnest lichen]

I am wondering now, because I always messaged him as soon as he messaged me, so i am curious as to why he might feel he isn't getting the time he needs, or is that both ways, sorta like, he felt i was there too much?

[earnest lichen]

Pentacles for me are a no always, I kinda put them in order of suits rather than individual cards for yes and no

[sullen sleet]

that could be too, that it's not that he felt isolated, but that he needs the isolation, which matches up with your hunch about this reading saying he needs space

[earnest lichen]

When you say, he will reach out when he needs something, is that just for anything, or just finances, cuz you mentioned finances and now im confused, (Sorry my brain is just melted at the moment, i need sleep lol)

Because I usually was there to kind of support him with his mental health and stuff, so im just wondering as to if will reach out if he needs help with that again

[sullen sleet]

it's okay! so i mentioned finances first because pentacles usually means material things (money, possessions), but with the five of pentacles being about poverty or challenges with wealth, we don't need to be so literal about it being financial. wealth means different things to different people, and that's really why i broadened it to "needs something"

[earnest lichen]

Ah ok, but chances are it will be when he needs something?

[sullen sleet]

that's what i would read it as, yes!

[earnest lichen]

Ah ok, so yes, everything at the moment does seem to align with what i know about him at the moment

I said im going to give it 3 weeks, as that is when tarot has said he may reach out, if he hasn't by then, then I will draw my focus away from this situation entirely

or at least, when i have interpreted it as

ik it varies lol

[sullen sleet]

that seems reasonable to me

[earnest lichen]

Sound, alright so I will keep this in mind and if he hasn't reached out in 3 weeks, so roughly start of October, then I will draw my focus away. But yeah, I am going to go to sleep now before my brain starts melting further lol, thank you, goodnight

[sullen sleet]

have a good rest!

[summer ore]

Hi there! I was wondering if anyone here has experience with scrying, specifically with black mirrors or black bowls with water? I've been feeling this strange need to try these forms of divination for a while, and now it feels like the right time to get into it. I've been doing some research and looking for the right supplies, but I'm having a hard time with this.

There are many online stores that sell bowls specifically for divination, but part of me is hesitant to purchase these since some of them seem unreasonably expensive and.. fake? I think my first question is this: Do you need to get a specially made bowl to scry, or can you use any bowl so long as it's dark enough to scry with?

[dreamy rampart]

you do not need any specific bowl to do so!

you could even make your own with black fabric soaked into the bottom of the bowl

and if you want to make your own scrying mirror you can do so with just a normal mirror that you paint the backing of black

[summer ore]

Wow really? I never heard of these approaches

That's pretty innovative

[dreamy rampart]

in all honesty scrying with pretty expensive objects is what works for others but I personally feel like you can get a better connection to the tools you're using if you make them yourself

but I think if you were to go and buy like any sort of black or dark dark blue bowl that could work!

[summer ore]

Thank you so much!

[dreamy rampart]

ofc!

[summer ore]

Then I presume that it also doesn't really matter what is used for a black mirror. I read online that obsidian is what's usually preferred, but manufactured black glass or a painted mirror can also work. If I also remember correctly, the latter is also considered more environmentally friendly.

Though, does real obsidian provides natural protection? I was wondering if using manufactured black glass or a painted mirror offers protection, too.

[dreamy rampart]

so the color black itself is protective in its own right!

that's typically where the association for obsidian being protective comes from it's color not from the fact that it's obsidian

almost every single black stone in availability is protective in some way shape or form

so a black glass and a Black mirror would have similar qualities although it would be manufactured by people and it wouldn't be natural protection which some people find different I personally don't see the difference in them but that's because I work very heavily with color magic as a whole already

[summer ore]

Interesting! I always thought you had to use natural resources for this type of divination.

[dreamy rampart]

well I mean you could consider that manufactured glass and painted mirrors are themselves natural resources because people did make the glass and people did make the mirror and you are using paint maybe made with natural or unnatural pigments to further make it fit your craft

[summer ore]

That's a fair point

[dreamy rampart]

I think also with that it helps to know that why obsidian was used traditionally is probably because that was the most mirror-like thing that people had at the time

it occurs naturally so it's existed since before people had glass coated in a reflective surface to see themselves or glass that was pigmented with black dye in order to be black.

modern times can call for modern usage of modern technology which doesn't necessarily make it bad it just makes it new

[summer ore]

That's also very true. Wow...

Thank you again, Oli! This was all super helpful.

I really appreciate your help! And your patience. I'm still trying to figure out my way with these practices, so I really appreciate you helping me understand. 😄

[dreamy rampart]

of course I'm glad I could help

[young palm]

here?

[dreamy rampart]

hi yes

[young palm]

👀

oh hi!!

okay so, i got the queen of pentacles, ace of swords and the strength!

[dreamy rampart]

can I ask what question you were asking for these cards?

[young palm]

yes! i asked if i can be given a message of something i need to hear

i didnt phrase it like that, i cant quite remember how i phrased it, but essentially a message that i needed to hear, i think thats what i actually said “give me message that i needed to hear”

from the Queen Of pentacles card, it makes me think this is a message FROM someone and that is a indicator card as of whom its from?

and that the rest is the actual message perhaps

[dreamy rampart]

so I would personally say first read all three cards as if they were a message in its entirety instead of going straight to viewing this as a message of somebody reaching out

do you have any idea of what the cards could mean as a message?
I want to get your interpretation first so that way I have a sort of mindset of where it is that you feel these cards are coming from

[young palm]

mhm mhm :)) okay!

gimme a second

so the attributes from all three make me think its perhaps about my path…. 👀 since it talks about patience, courage, focus

well actually…

when i lifted the ace of swords and strength they were actually upside down…

i just flipped them so maybe i actually should take that into consideration

so insecurity, confusion, chaos, boredom, struggle, rage and pride. But that with the Queen of pentacles kinda makes it difficult for me to understand the full message, im sure it is talking about how i feel about my path, but i haven’t really felt rage or anger towards my confusion

i did only ask for a in general message though, nothing specific to my path, so i guess my deck is just being extra reassuring? haha

[dreamy rampart]

so the issue with reversed cards is that not everybody reads them if you don't want to use reversals in your practice you definitely don't have to and if you feel like your deck isn't particularly one that's going to give you reversals you also don't have to

[dreamy rampart]

okay so I'm a tad confused on where the rage and anger come in? and also how they tie to the Queen of pentacles?

oh unless you mean that's what the strengths reversed is

if that's the case then the strength reversed is more about raw emotion as opposed to pure anger it's feeling things very strongly in a way that can make you feel exposed and raw

so maybe it's you feeling insecure and confused in a way that makes you raw and touchy in some aspects of your craft

[young palm]

I can understand that 🙂

with reverse cards i go with the deck or my intuition. Some of my decks don’t acknowledge reversal meanings so if they fall out in reverse i read them up front

this one does

but i just flipped them

[dreamy rampart]

I think for the Queen of pentacles in relation to the rest of your reading something like being nurturing towards yourself as well as being practical about the decisions that you're making.

if you are feeling insecure because of specific reasons maybe try alternative methods that have a better chance at being something you can do practically

[young palm]

that actually makes a lot of sense!!

[dreamy rampart]

I feel like the Queen card specifically is more there as a hey it's okay and you're going to be fine you may just have to come at it from a different angle sort of thing

I'm glad it helped!

[young palm]

awhh thank you!!

[dreamy rampart]

your interpretation of the reading was actually really well done I feel like you got pretty much the baseline down and it's a lot of connecting the bases together to get the full idea if that makes sense

[young palm]

i take some of the meanings super literal so sometimes its hard to read it from outside the box

[dreamy rampart]

no yeah and that's entirely Fair!

[young palm]

thats why i love hearing other peoples interpretations, it always sounds a lot nicer compared to my own 😩

[young palm]

awh yay thank you!

thank you for your help

[dreamy rampart]

yeah and I mean I do have a taro 101 lesson that I ended up doing a few weeks ago actually!
I basically went over the basic parts of tarot as well as some history!
I'll be doing a 102 soon going over how to basically connect cards meanings together

tarot* 😔 phone please I'm smart

[young palm]

oh yay!! do you know where i can go and look at the 101?

[dreamy rampart]

yeah! the transcripts and slideshow are in #1114061678963855410 should be the most recent post

[young palm]

THANK YOU

[solid bear]

my new decks arrived ‼️‼️‼️

[dreamy rampart]

[young palm]

awh pretty

[stable dune]

Ah so here is where I can brag

My Santa Muerte deck!!!

I bought it recently 😭

[dreamy rampart]

pretty!!! omg ugh the latin influence that SKULLS its stunning

[dreamy rampart]

rararara ugh its so pretty

[stable dune]

It’s so so pretty I’m in love

My fav

Such a chill deck

Also is there any deity associated to the Page of Wands? I did a reading and then asked at the end if any deity was reaching out to me with the signs I’ve been seeing around me, and got the page of wands

[versed night]

a tumblr post says artemis, apollo, brigid and athena but i'd take tumblr with a huge pinch of salt

[dreamy rampart]

oh that massive deity list? i use that one a lot!

tumblr is great for things, but does include a lot of UPG.
thing with tarot is that it was only created in the 17th century so all deity card associations from religions older than that are upg in nature

[stable dune]

I checked that list too

[dreamy rampart]

the page of wands means: Inspiration, ideas, discovery, limitless potential, free spirit

all of those would fall under the deites you have listed there

you can also look into deities from other pantheons with those qualities and do a sort of idenitifcation spread to get more info since a singular card tends to be not a lot to go off of

[stable dune]

Do you have a guide on how to do an identification spread? Should I use the page of wands I initially got as a starting card, or do I start over?

[dreamy rampart]

i would say to keep the page of wands in mind as the main identifier but i would still reshuffle your deck since it may need to be used in the place of another question~ as for spreads we have a few in the server let me grab!

#1114061678963855410 message
this one is massive: #1114061678963855410 message
this one was made by our founder! #1114061678963855410 message

[stable dune]

Thank you!!!!

[dreamy rampart]

[stable dune]

I guess I should try to do a quick yes or no draw for each deity that may be associated with the page of wands? /genq

[dreamy rampart]

you could yeah

[stable dune]

First time I get something so vague as a response from a deity. First time I did it I got the High Priestess which my deck had represented with pomegranates all over 😭

[stable dune]

Oki, thank you! /gen

…I asked for Artemis and I got “The Empress” 😭

[versed night]

if you have a pendulum that might be easier for yes/no haha

[stable dune]

I don’t

[dreamy rampart]

we also have a yes/no guide if you wanna use that

[stable dune]

Sure!

[dreamy rampart]

#1114061678963855410 message (empress is a yes)

[stable dune]

The card jumped out of the deck

As I was asking the question

[dreamy rampart]

tbh artemis feels the most like the page of wands from the deities listed

imo

👀

[stable dune]

😭

It’s very funny because one of the signs I saw recently were a LOT of bunnies, like an enormous amount of wild bunnies

May be her?

Thank you for your help ❤️

[dreamy rampart]

yeah no problem!

[stable dune]

I will try to communicate more with her and see what she wants from me, if that’s the case!

[dreamy rampart]

best of luck!

[stable dune]

Thank you!!!!

[supple walrus]

@bitter pond elements

@bitter pond

[bitter pond]

I gotta move to dms! Yours are closed, do you mind sending me one so I can message you!

[stable dune]

Did one of the spreads linked above for Diana/Artemis 😭

[young palm]

ohhh thats a lot

Once my spread goes above 4 cards i give up 😭 i cant imagine piecing together that many cards

[stable dune]

This one was so easy

I loved it

Made me happy

This is the longest one I’ve done

[pliant dawn]

Had the biiiggest urge to finally go get a new deck so I literally just got one. Was wondering if anyone has/has heard of the Ethereal visions deck (Luna edition) by Matt Hughes?

Was hoping to see if anyone had experience with it or knew how it vibed. It’s so beautiful too 😭🫶

[young palm]

i have, but i have the illumination deck version not the lunar

[pliant dawn]

That’s okay! Can I ask how you like it?

[young palm]

yeah ofc haha

im still getting used to it! the guide book is not that well written and thats my only complaint, it doesnt help AT ALL. I think for the most part the deck as a whole for me feels very ethereal but tetchy, like it’ll throw cards at me but it’ll take a little longer for me to quite understand what its trying to say. Its pretty honest and brutal when it wants but in a soft motherly way if that makes sense HAHA

[pliant dawn]

Yeah that makes sense! I tried testing it out with a few pulls and I was definitely staring at it like 🤔🤔 for a while. And yeah I agree, the guidebook is kinda meh so that might just be for both of them

Thank you for sharing your thoughts with me!

[stable dune]

The guidebook of my Santa Muerte tarot is very meh, so I constantly use my app for the meanings

If so, I use the guidebook to complement the meanings

[sudden spruce]

Some cloud scyring was done today, my vision of the cloud is a cat sitting proudly, then a cat licking it's leg laying down, and finally the head area dispersing. An image not shown (cause I didn't take one) was the same cloud then looking like a horse scaling a cliff face.

I think it's also important to read the whole sky, this cloud was moving the same direction i was before it fully dispersed, it also became more and more centered in my peripheral. At first you see it's actually side by side with the moon but further on the moon ended up behind me with the cloud in front.

I'm keeping the interpretation to myself since it's quite personal, and I ask nobody reads on me but if you would like to come up with your own interpretations/ what you see (as if you're seeing them for yourself) I think that would be cool!

I also never feel such an urge to share readings like I did with this one, take that what you will

[runic latch]

Hey guys do i interpretate this reversed with a sprinkle of upright or? It's diagonal

[stable dune]

I usually just put them upright when there are situations like this

[runic latch]

Its cuz its leaning so reversed

Oh well i'll sre how it goes

[dreamy rampart]

you could read for both if you want I personally would say that's reversed mainly cuz like that's pretty much upside down in my opinion

but if anything do the rest of your spread read for both and see which one fits better as the question asked for

[runic latch]

Good tip thanks!

[solid bear]

very late but when I'm not sure if it's upright or reversed I normally check a general interpretation for both and stay with what feels right

[wary gorge]

so I forgot my password to a tiktok account or mistyped it when I created it, is there a way I can figure out what it is 😭

[dreamy rampart]

uh I mean you should be able to change password with your email

[wary gorge]

i have nothing to retrieve it💔

[dreamy rampart]

like your # or email?

since you more than likely signed up with one of them

[verbal gate]

Yeah tiktok has to have an email or phone number in order to have an account so if you forgot your password, it'll go to one of those

[wary gorge]

i accidentally removed both before logging out

[verbal gate]

Idk that that's something it lets you do by accident

[wary gorge]

i tried creating the account and it created 2 because it didn’t complete the process, to delete one i had to move the email over

so i was left with one having no email

confident i knew the password

[verbal gate]

Yeah you have to like very intentionally go to a separate tab and hit "unlink" and then go back 2 pages to log out

[wary gorge]

i had to report the glitch 🤓

[stable dune]

Anyone here reading runes paired by tarot? I need some advice :[

[honest nimbus]

Id like to know more to :3

[solid bear]

I don't read with runes but I have read with sigils, dices or other stuff to add to the cards if it helps 🤷‍♂️

for me it's really just like reading several cards at the same time

just new meanings to add to it

[honest nimbus]

I have two tarot card sets I've only used one but I want to get really good at reading them

[solid bear]

tarot is really just practice

getting comfortable with reading, getting a general idea of the cards and finding what way of reading works for you and stuff

[honest nimbus]

Yeah, I want to get good at knowing the meanings so I don't have to Google it every time

[solid bear]

then you can add to it like more symbology and stuff but first it's just doing traditional readings and earning to connect cards and atuff

[honest nimbus]

And different kind of readings as well

[solid bear]

I personally don't memorize meanings

I just use Google or the guide, I'd rather use my energy in the connecting to the question and between cards

[honest nimbus]

I could use a guide lol

I don't want the meaning more the symbolism

[solid bear]

because there are a lot of possible meanings for each card so I'd rather have them all in front of me and invest in interpreting

[honest nimbus]

Yeah

[solid bear]

symbology is really fun

it's my favorite part of tarot

besides the art

i got into the cards bc of the art

[honest nimbus]

Yeah, they're so pretty

[stable dune]

Behold: my first pendulum

[solid bear]

ohhhhHh

it's so nice

I love it

[stable dune]

It’s so pretty 😭❤️

[honest nimbus]

Picture load rahhhhhh

[honest nimbus]

It's yummy

Mine is a lighter purple

[stable dune]

I love dark amethyst

[honest nimbus]

I want dark amethyst

[sullen sleet]

that's such a nice piece of amethyst wow!

[stable dune]

I know right?

I’m so happy

[bitter pond]

Ooo I also just bought a new one! It's emerald with a little dragonfly charm on the opposite end

[stable dune]

PRETTY! If you can, show it! I’d love to see it

[versed night]

does anyone know shops for pendulums that ship internationally and aren't aliexpress :0

[lime sphinx]

I got one of mine on Etsy personally

[verbal gate]

One of ours is from etsy, one is just a chunky steel chain, one is from our husband, and one is from a local metaphysical shop
You can also make pendulums pretty easily. A lot of folks use necklaces, but you can def just ríe a string to something and use that (we did that once with a key)

[stable dune]

Spanish folk divination use gold medals as pendulums

So you can use that! They work incredible

[versed night]

allg i found a local metaphysical shop selling them

[stable dune]

Good!!

[honest nimbus]

Does anyone know any good guides on how to read pendulums and to connect with them ig idk haha I wanna learn is what

[dreamy rampart]

we have pendulum stuff in https://discord.com/channels/599776551306788874/1114061678963855410

[honest nimbus]

Thank you! And love the pfp

[dreamy rampart]

ty

[stable dune]

Wanted to show you guys my “Universal goddesses” deck

[stable dune]

Mother Earth illustration? So pretty btw :3

[stable dune]

Yes! Gea is used for The World ❤️❤️❤️

The sudden urge to buy a new deck seeing ur post but i just know i won't use it 😔

I feel you so much, I only use the same one over and over

[acoustic dove]

could someone tell me the difference between angel cards and tarot cards? my moms on a trip rn and said she would see if she could get me either of those types of cards but arent they like the same?

[dreamy rampart]

Angel cards and tarot cards differ significantly in their purpose, structure and focus within the realm of divination and spirituality.

Angel cards are specifically designed to connect practitioners and users with angelic frequencies and divine guidance. Tarot, however, features a wide array of experiences and archetypes through its 78-card system, including major and minor arcana.

While tarot often explores past influences, current situations and potential future outcomes, angel card readings emphasize spiritual insight and personal growth in the present moment, offering clarity and support rather than predictive outcomes.

i dont think there are any specifc cards labeled as angel cards and its more like cards that revolve around angels?
bc the sites im looking at both contain tarot and oracle so im just confused

yeah pretty much its any cards with angels as the main motif?

but there isnt a set idea of what they are

[acoustic dove]

aahhh okok that makes sense tyty

[dreamy rampart]

yeah np!

[versed night]

you could always ask for the angel tarot by travis mchenry :0 it's a tarot deck containing depictions of all 72 angels from the Shem HaMephorash + several archangels

[pearl citrus]

Back from the void! New deck who’s this?

[versed night]

ooooh those look cool

[dreamy rampart]

I LOVE tattoo tarot! i bought a set for my mom bc shes a tattoo artist

also circus themed 👀

[pearl citrus]

Wanna see them I have not gotten a good look myself yet

[dreamy rampart]

YEA

[pearl citrus]

Cw: for creepy imagery and slight depiction of ||blood and cartoon body horror ||

So all the suits have a story to them like a flip book very cool

[dreamy rampart]

YO i love that omg!!

[pearl citrus]

Idk what’s up with this deck but the cards are out of order too and I think I’m missing a couple of cards because I cannot find knight or page of swords

Cw: cartoon violence , creepy/gross imagery

The major arcana too

Ignore Roblox

[dreamy rampart]

oh weird maybe its like a counterfeit version?

[pearl citrus]

Maybe I got it at a tattoo convention so it could be possible

But I think it’s a cool bit of collection

[dreamy rampart]

yeah!

[pearl citrus]

Idk if I’d use it much for myself the vibes are not it but it’s neat anyway

[verbal gate]

It's possible that the deck is second hand

Also we love tattoo tarot!

[acoustic dove]

oo sounds interesting ill see about those fs!!

[young palm]

all mine tehe

the mystic tarot was my first tarot deck, will say i dislike it because the guide book isn’t really helpful

[dreamy rampart]

the only two I have of yours are the terror of the Divine and the crow tarot

tarot 😔

[young palm]

i love my crow tarot! Its Persephones

Because of the pomegranate depictions, I dedicated it to her, also because whenever i call upon her for a reading, i always feel drawn to that deck specifically

the kawaii tarot is okish, i dont like it. I have the occult tarot and i felt the need to have the angel tarot to match. I dont use the angel one though

[dreamy rampart]

some of mine came and Tuck boxes that I absolutely hate so I made them little crocheted pouches

peep my PS3 collection 🫶

[young palm]

so pretty!!

ive wanted the season of the witch tarot

these are pretty

[dreamy rampart]

they are LOVELY

[young palm]

awee

my angel and occult also has foil

[dreamy rampart]

I'm planning to get all of the season of The witches since I think the only few they have left to release are the litha one and the ostara one if I remember correctly

[young palm]

pretty

i love collecting from the same author

[dreamy rampart]

the seasons of The witch ones are really fun because they're foils match the backing of the cards

[young palm]

omg thats so cool

i definitely wanna get them now

[dreamy rampart]

my other cool ones are the the bone dead tarot which also has foiling and my kill star deck which is like weirdly matte but it's like a glossy matte it's hard to explain but like the underneath card is glossy and it has like a matte finish

the kill star deck is fucking massive though and I have tiny hands

[young palm]

so cool what 😭

hahaha

god i love tarot decks

[dreamy rampart]

SAME!

[young palm]

tehe

i wanna use the fae oracle more. I also miss working with the Fae… I stopped because that stuff can be a little tetchy

[stable dune]

My tarot and oracle cards telling me to rest 2 days in a row meanwhile i have been hectic for the past few days 👱🏻‍♀️

[rugged roost]

i did a read today in regards to if i made the right choice in a situation regarding letting a friendship go
I got: 7 coins
7 swords
reversed strength
and reversed 10 wands

I think the read is saying how to trust my instincts and that i have more power in this situation but dont let that power go to my head maybe

[stable dune]

heavy sigh

[rain sparrow]

some of my cards are in bad condition too bruh i feel you😭

all my cards are bent asf and a lot are water damaged, and a whole bunch of other shot.

SHIT*

my tarot cards have seen it all fr

seeing people who have tarot decks in perfect shape meanwhile mine are being held together with tape and love /exag

[stable dune]

You've got a friend in me fr ♡

The fact that i was doing a spellwork and i work with demons make this a whole lotta worse

[dreamy rampart]

did u burn it?/genq

[stable dune]

By accident, yeah, i had no intention to do so. I was doing a spellwork that require burning sigils but here and there the card was too close and wham, it got burned 😔

[dreamy rampart]

ah yeah fire safety and all that. would say it's mundane but you know more about the situation

[tired scarab]

Woah hello divination channel

I was about to request one because I was dumb and didn't see it in the channel list /lh

[dreamy rampart]

rule of thumb if it has a #1113290782007369859 channel it will also have a corresponding practices one!

[dreamy rampart]

whoops gotta be sure that cards are properly censored before posting (blocking out nsfw parts with something else)

feel free to repost with proper censors

[snow grove]

oh sure! Hold on!

REPOST BC I FORGOT TO CENSOR!!

Basically I asked my tarot cards if the guy who is essentially my first love was thinking about me right now or that he always thinks about me and I got these. I can only get a good grasp on the three cards (10 of pentacles, 8 of swords, and death) bc based on the vibes and what I can piece together is that its a yes but he somehow feels trapped and or backed into a corner because of it but there's going to be some sort of change in things and its a good type of change.

The only thing I can't get a good vibe grasp on is the reversed knight of cups and the upright lovers. Another thing is that during the whole reading I had Delicate by Taylor Swift being played in the background and its just the overall vibe that its been giving me somehow. Before this reading and stuff, it was more silver springs by fleetwood mac but now its more with the song delicate. so yeah!

[dreamy rampart]

😭 THE CLOTHES

[snow grove]

HAD TO DRAW THEM IN MS PAINT KBSFDHBF

😭

[dreamy rampart]

LMAO

they look so good oml i thought they were emojis

lemme help w reading tho

[snow grove]

forgot to add to this btw is that after this reading I read Chappell Roan's song Love Me Anyway with this particular line "You still la-love me anyway"

[dreamy rampart]

and you pulled these all for the same question?

[snow grove]

yeah they came out in one shuffle

[dreamy rampart]

gotcha beb

brb

kay going through the cards as they are placed:

• 10 coin: yes but in a more familial sense or like looking back on their past?
• 8 sword: they may feel trapped in thinking of you due to their own mentality that is causing them to do so? maybe they kept something of yours and now its a reminder that they cant get rid of.
• Knight RX: they look back on the relationship (and you?) with a fondness and romanticize your time together even if its not exactly how it happened
• Death: I think for them it may be that they are getting ready to change or go on a journey of change that will change how they think of not only you but your time together in a way that:
• The Lovers: opens them up to new partnerships or new ways to enter a relationship

[snow grove]

I think I know what they kept that came from me and I wrote him this song which was a direct result of him writing a song for me (it was more or less of a surprise song that he wrote for me really and had me crying bc he's the only person I've ever known to do something like that), I also sent him a drawing of him that I made and I guess a playlist too that I made for us on youtube (tbf we were both teenagers GGJAB) and based on the stuff our mutual friend said to me that he thinks about our friendship like a lot and misses the way how things were before everything hit the fan so yeah 😭

On the thing part: I still have at least a drawing he did of me and the song he wrote :"))

[dreamy rampart]

yeah def makes sense! it might be that (not sure how old yall are and you dont have to specify) this year, he will try to look back with fondness rather than hope it can go back and attempt to move forward? at least thats how im reading

[snow grove]

he's 24 and im 25 :''DD (couldn't resist answering sskjfbj) but yeah thanks for your help, oli!

[dreamy rampart]

AH 😭 i miss read the "we were teens" as "we ARE teens"

[snow grove]

naw dawg ur good 😭 happens to the best of us JHBFSJKF

[tired scarab]

WAIT THE CLOTHES ARE SO GOOD

[tired scarab]

Finally got around to doing my october spread a day late oops
In order the cards are Love, Money, Work, Health, and Spirit

I don't really know what the ace of coins is supposed to mean here. Im not in a relationship and not really looking so maybe it'll just mean I'll be more secure in being single?

The knight of Swords reversed just means I gotta be careful how i spend money this month, which i kinda figured because I just had quite a large expense.

I hope this page of coins means that I will in fact find a new job this month!

I think this five of cups is about my mental health because I had a VERY eventful September and I'm having trouble moving on from it

I believe the seven of wands is encouraging me to get back into my spiritual wellness, even if it feels like I don't want to do anything right now, because putting in extra effort in myself now will pay off way more later.

If anyone wants to provide their own insight I would love to hear!

[stable dune]

Aces mostly represent new beginnings, but you can interpret is as being secure, either as a secure time to start a new relationship or secure to keep your current status quo.

Page represents stability and consistency for the most parts, so i hope it does symbolize you acquiring a new job (if the question is that specific). Clarifying cards do help for this

It's a lovely reading to be honest, i wish you a good month and forevermore ^_^

[tired scarab]

Thank you very much!

I'm not so good at reading yet so I appreciate the insights

[stable dune]

It's all about what energy you trust the most, i don't believe a certain person is good at readongs or no. Practice more and bond with your deck, you will be okay :3

[snow grove]

NSINCIWSNICHWD THANK YOU??

[tired scarab]

I thought they were part of the deck for a second im like "where was the nudity"

[distant cloud]

Hello

Even though I don't read tarot as much anymore, I wanted to ask if anyone else has felt energetic disturbances that don't feel "normal" to call it

[snow grove]

Nah but I drew it 😭😭😭

[snow grove]

So I lit up Apollo’s candle today and I asked him if he had anything to say to me before I blew out his candle and in the first two cards mans did not hesitate to call me a yapper 😭😭 (though it didn’t feel like it was mean but more or less the vibe was more like 😏) idk about the rest of the cards but yeah!

Ps. Drew some swimsuits on the Judgement card 😭 it counts as censorship right??

On a side note: it’s also funny bc when I told him about my sleeping and eating habits he threw in the tower and I asked him why he did it and mans threw in multiple yes cards (I forgot most of em but I know they were yes and just gave me the image of him standing in front of me sassily with his arms crossed over his chest and stuff 😭)

[stable dune]

Some deities do be like that when we interact enough and they want to make us comfortable :3

[tired scarab]

I live for your tarot nudity censorship methods

[stable dune]

I just realized that it was censored after Alexis pointed out and now i can't stop laughing

[rocky cradle]

I'm a bit confused so for my reading I got present influence :the high priestess and immediate obstacle:the wheel of fortune . Any help figuring iut what it means?

[dreamy rampart]

hi sorry could you please remove the special characters from your name in order to make your name accessible?

[rocky cradle]

Sorrrry

[chrome creek]

Hey I don't know where to ask this. So I'll try in here. I've done an attraction/love spell then had a pressing call from my tarot regarding a guy. I did a spread then just shuffled my cards till one fell. On my spread I got 7 of pentacles on his side (upright) and on the shuffle I got twice nine of swords (upright) for the shuffle I just asked "is he worth it? do I want to pursue or just let this go?"
Any thoughts? I'm a bit confused tbh since I got "he's thinking of a future" then "anxiety and worries"

[dreamy rampart]

did this love spell specifically Target him?

if yes, do you understand the consequences that come from doing love spells on people without permission

[chrome creek]

No it did not target him. It was an attraction love spell to attract new love

Any ideas on what my tarot might be telling me?

[dreamy rampart]

I'm a bit confused on where you pulled the he's thinking of a future and anxiety and worries cards?

[stable dune]

this is just my personal interpretation, but maybe the cards are saying that he has anxieties and worries, and that you need to have patience with him and that he will overcome that given time

[chrome creek]

I did a spread with 4 cards, 1 is my relationships, 2 my view on the situation, 3 on his view and 4 on what would happen if we were on a relationship. And then shuffle until one drops and twice 9 of swords fell

[chrome creek]

Oooh ok ok, I understood worries and anxiety as MY worries and MY anxiety. Yes that's less confusing if we see it the way you explain it. Thanks

[snow grove]

Listen if you gotta censor stuff at least make it fun 💅💅✨✨

[tired scarab]

Got my first oracle deck!

[stable dune]

Ahhh both looks so pretty

It's now on my wishlist :3

[tired scarab]

I've never done oracle before so I don't really know what I'm doing

Do I just use them the same way as tarot?

[stable dune]

Well, it's actually 100% easier because the meanings are more specific

You can use it like 1 card pull tarot

I use oracles as complements (addition of context) of my tarot reading as well

[dreamy rampart]

Oracle can be harder or easier depending on how reliant you are on needing a guidebook or consistant meanings in your card sets.
Oracle in my experience requires a tad more intuition on your part since it is a deck that's not tarot and doesn't have a set meaning.

[tired scarab]

I use my guidebook a lot for tarot so if I don't need to do that for oracle that's much better

[dreamy rampart]

oh you still may have to

the issue is that you won't be able to look through additional sources for help and may strictly need to use your guidebook.

this is also a case of if nobody else has the exact Oracle decks you use no one will be able to help you in interpreting their meanings because we wouldn't have the knowledge of what the Oracle deck is about

oracles are def fun! but they are ones that require a lot of personal interpretation which can be hard for some

[tired scarab]

Yeah because it's about the goetia demons and their counterpart angels the guidebook just kind of says what each demon and angel represent and I have to like glean how this applies to my situation based off what they represent and their abilities and such

[dreamy rampart]

yeahh

[rocky cradle]

Can anyone help with scryring. Whenever I try I don't really see anything

I've tried doing it with Lucifer and themis

But I don't see anything at all idk if I'm doing it wrong

[dreamy rampart]

is crying unlike a lot of other methods of divination is very intuition based and will be almost entirely based off of things that you see.

can I ask which methods of scrying you're using

[rocky cradle]

Wdym

[dreamy rampart]

like are you scrying with water, mirror, crystal ball, fire, etc?

[rocky cradle]

I use one of my crystals -- black obsidian

[dreamy rampart]

how is that crystal shaped?/genq

[rocky cradle]

I can take a picture if that helps

[dreamy rampart]

sure!

the reason I'm asking is bc you may not be able to actually scry in it if it's not clear enough

[rocky cradle]

Oh I can't send photos for some reason

[rocky cradle]

Can I send in DMS?

[dreamy rampart]

ah I'm not comfortable with that but chatting should get you to the correct level to send image

[rocky cradle]

Okkk

But is quite small tbh

Idk how to describe it

[rocky cradle]

I have a feeling it's because I haven't awakened my third eye yet

[dreamy rampart]

are you Hindu or Buddhist by chance? since the third eye is linked to the chakra energy system and that is something that you can only use if your Hindu or Buddhist

[rocky cradle]

I'm a plural system... The main one who does which craft is a satanist but I as an alter am Buddhist

Well

Questioning faith tbh

[dreamy rampart]

will note that just bc one of y'all have the ability to use that energy system doesn't mean you all do/gen

so if it's just you that's having the issues then it might be but if it's something y'all bodily struggle with it more than likely isn't.

you also don't need to have an activated eye (from any energy system) in order to do divination properly.
divination is a skill you learn so if y'all just started then you may need to keep practicing

[rocky cradle]

Ohhh

Ok

I mean only 3 of us try one doesn't like scryring at all and another rarely does any divination

Since we are mainly atheists or Muslims in our susten

[dreamy rampart]

yes I mean more so that it's a "third eye" issue

if its something that only you struggle with then it can be that, but if it's not then it may be something bodily

[rocky cradle]

Idk it's literally only me bc I'm the only one who tries,

[dreamy rampart]

well if you haven't explored that as a system then you haven't ruled out that it's not something else 🤷

[rocky cradle]

The obsidian from earlier

I said it's small and I mean it

[dreamy rampart]

but if you go into like is a problem of a third eye but it's not and instead it's something like not using the correct tools then you-

ah gonna be honest I don't think that's big enough or smooth enough imo

[rocky cradle]

😭

[dreamy rampart]

for scrying you need something large enough to have a good ability to look into it and it needs to be relatively smooth (unless it's fire or like clouds)

[rocky cradle]

Also Lovely set of tarrot cards btw(I can barely read them and I've only done 1 accurate reading)

[rocky cradle]

Oh

[dreamy rampart]

some folks use mirrors painted black or a bowl of water

but yeah you need something a tad bigger

[rocky cradle]

I heard abt someone who just used their phone screen 😂 I might try that tmr

[dreamy rampart]

OOO this art style is cool!

that could work! just make sure you shove it on airplane mode or turn it off so you don't get notifications 😭

[rocky cradle]

Yeah

Do not disturb is amazing

Not just like where it doesn't make sound or vibrate, I use a do not disturb that makes it so sotificatikns won't show hehe

"Sotificatikns "

[dreamy rampart]

ah ye that works

we have some info on scrying if you need some tips and stuff

[rocky cradle]

Your an adult.... Shouldn't I be following stranger danger rule.... (Idrc abt it)

[rocky cradle]

YAYYYY

Ima hop off

Anyways*

Goodnight

[dreamy rampart]

[rocky cradle]

It's officialy half 11 and my eyes hurt

[tawdry lance]

New tarot deck

[stable dune]

Wait i think i did see this deck somewhere, it feels familiar

[tawdry lance]

Is the ethereal visions deck

[rocky cradle]

How reliable is Cartonomatry for asking yes/no questions with deities

[dreamy rampart]

hm well depends on you, the method you use, and how you decide to read them.

there are card lists of yes/no answers, you can also make up ones of your own, depending on the method of cartomancy (tarot, playing cards, oracle) you may find reading reversals as auto-nos but yeah lots of wiggle room for interpretation

[rocky cradle]

Just normal poker cards

Because I like to talk to deitys at school but my school doesn't allow tarrot cards because its "inappropriate"

When they let kids gamble

[dreamy rampart]

yea there are lists out there with some ways to read them! there are also different methods of reading playing cards

[rocky cradle]

If you've ever done it what's a good way to do it with playing cards

I mean I usaly do, red is yes, black is no

But I don't really get, are you like meant to shuffle then pick the top card?

[dreamy rampart]

i do odds and even! odds no, even yes!

ace is 1, jack is 11, queen 12, king 13

at least when i read

as for how that depends entirely on you and your shuffling style

i read a few different ways depending on my mood: shuffle overhand and wait for cards to fall, shuffle then pull the top, shuffle and fan out and pick the one im drawn to

[rocky cradle]

Yea I do over hand a lot, with tarrot cards I do fan out unless a deity picks a card out while I'm shuffling

[dreamy rampart]

valid

[tired scarab]

I know that deck that oli used for the daily tarot today it's my favorite!

I use it for my personal daily readings :3

[tired scarab]

How do I motivation myself to do daily readings

[stable dune]

I don't exactly do personal daily readings i just pick something from #🔮daily-reading

[dreamy rampart]

are you doing full multi-card readings at the moment or just single card pulls?/genq

[tired scarab]

Just single card pulls

I have a tarot journal and it calls for 1 card a day and 3 cards for a weekly reading

[dreamy rampart]

hmm can you tell which part of the reading process is overwhelming you/making you unmotiviated?

[tired scarab]

I just forget lolol

Autism moment

Like i wanna do it i just do not remember

[stable dune]

Well, i'd recommend an digital reminder like calendars

[dreamy rampart]

hm maybe you can set alarms or make it apart of your routine? put your cards under your keys or on top of your bag so you have to move (and pull one) in the morning

i do that all the time 😭 inconvenience things into my routine until i start doing them normally

[tired scarab]

Looool thats a good idea

I guess I could also pull a card for the next day the night before

Cuz most of my stress comes from remembering at like 2pm and thinking "what's the point now"

[dreamy rampart]

hm it could also be a sort of "what lessons have i learned or will learn today?"

or what important themes were in my life i may have missed

it may not be specifically about how your day will go if that can be something to help

[tired scarab]

Yeah that is helpful

I guess i always thought i had to do it as soon as I woke up

[solar pagoda]

Hello!
I asked my deck if a specific person is my soulmate, page of cups came out, i see that as a positive card, how can that be interpreted?

And i asked my pendulum aswell, and they said yes

[stable dune]

It could be interpreted the person is meant to be in your life story, and you did cross reference so it's a yes :]

I can pull this interpretation because i'd assume you 100% put in your definition of soulmate when you read it

However, future can be changed (at least in my experience and belief) so it's not absolute, if i assume you mean soulmate is the "the one for me"

[solar pagoda]

Yes! I do mean the one for me

[solar pagoda]

I asked what my love life will look like the rest of 2024, the devil and temperance came out, i see how it can be interpreted in multiple ways but also confusing😭

[solar pagoda]

I interpreted it as overcoming any temptations/unhealthy patterns by fostering balance and moderation

[dreamy rampart]

hmm I can def see it as that

[fervent shell]

anyone tried carromancy before? i asked apollo if i could use his candle wax to see if he has any messages and i do see shapes im a bit unsure what they can be

[dreamy rampart]

hm your free to send images once you gain the level to send them!

[fervent shell]

nah that's fine,, i can tell that there's a very clear image of a horse, an umbrella and a little elephant

[dreamy rampart]

ooo we have animal meanings in #1114060280004087869

[fervent shell]

also there's two images of something that i can't say bc it's against the rules but at least ik that it's apollo sending that to me HAHAHAHAHA

[dreamy rampart]

LMAO but solid! glad you figured it out

[earnest lichen]

Could I please get an interpretation for a reading I did using my Rider Waite tarot deck, its more of a timing question but may also need looking at deeper cuz idk what to make of it

I do have my own interpretation but I wanna get other opinions because I am not overly confident in it

[dreamy rampart]

sure we can try to help

[earnest lichen]

Thanks, so I pretty much asked about stepping back from something and asking if I did how long would it take for an individual to contact me and I got 5 of Pentacles reversed. I do have my own interpretation but as I said I am not overly confident in it

I have been told that it means a few weeks but I am not sure on it

[dreamy rampart]

personally I would say that it's less of an exact amount of time and more about you and your journey.

so to make that a little bit clearer it's less than like specifically 5 weeks and more like it's going to be until you feel in a space where you are better off than you were before.
Pretty much like: when you feel stable and secure this person may reach back out

unfortunately when it comes to divination and specific time periods unless you are specifically asking yes/no's the answers are a but less specific and more vague

[earnest lichen]

Ok so pretty much, he will most likely contact me when I am in a better place? Not as in the original interpretation I got which said 2 weeks/quicker than expected?

[dreamy rampart]

I mean it could be a mix of both maybe it takes you about 2 weeks to get yourself back into a better State of mind

[earnest lichen]

So specifically then, would it just mean like focusing on my own stuff right now rather than whats happening with that, for instance college and stuff to get into that better state of mind?

I mean come halloween time I will most likely be feeling better in myself, especially with what I have been doing recently, the only thing that is really bringing me down is this whole situation happening

Idk we'll have to see in a few weeks won't we, I mean tbh the question was more focused towards my contant tarot readings as a response to the anxiety from this situation and if it is suggesting that I step back to let things move then thats sound and Ill go with that and just put my cards away for a while

[earnest lichen]

Lol I just thought of something I can do to prompt the person to reach out and the tarot does seem to back it up and it is kinda standing up for my mental health as well so I'm gonna do that, I mean I would do it anyway regardless of if it would prompt or not because I've just had enough of what is happening

Anyway I am going to bed, thanks for the help tonight 🙂

[tired scarab]

Labyrinthos added Runes!

[stable dune]

Oh they actually have been for the past month!

I love the app, especially when they said it's one person run and not some kind of corporate made

[tired scarab]

Yeah I guess I haven't been on in awhile

[warped nest]

hey! so, I wanted to get into cartomancy since I can't get a tarot deck. I cleansed the deck, set an intention, and when I was shuffling the cards to try doing a reading the first thing that happened was joker falling on my floor. what could this mean?

[stable dune]

so most cartomancy systems don't really utilize the joker. but it can be similar to the fool card in a tarot deck. it can represent things such as:
ー　foolish behavior / immaturity / bad choices
ー　originality
ー　the beginning of something new
ー　independence
ー　unexpected events
ー　secrets, hidden agendas

[fair ferry]

she’s my only deck and I love her

(the green thing underneath is a DBT skills deck 💀)

[tender ibex]

MY FAVORITEEEE DECK!!

[fair ferry]

Omg I’m so happy someone else knows about it!!!!! It was a gift from my mom ^^

[tender ibex]

yes!! was my second deck and i got it like 2021?? still very much in use even when i don’t practice as often

[fervent shell]

couldn't find the rest but here's some images from the reading

[final kayak]

whoa useful!

[earnest lichen]

Sorry I got another question about a reading I've just done, would rather get other opinions on the matter haha, as the question I asked wasn't to expect a positive card and now I am baffled

(If I ask too much you can tell me to shut up 😂 )

Pretty much I asked what could stop someone from contacting me tonight and got Ace of Cups, so now I am confused as to why such a positive card

I mean it is a really positive card and one interpretation someone gave me that this persons urge to contact me may be too strong to stop and they won't back down tonight

But ngl that seems overly optimistic for me

[scarlet bramble]

guys, lately i cant feel any energy into my tarot deck anymore, and they give me rlly incorrect readins, can anyone help me?

[verbal gate]

[steel ridge]

[misty plaza]

So here's my question. It may be a lil silly. but when doing a celtic cross spread.

You know the second card that lays across on on it's side.

Which way is it considered inverted or up right?

Or is it just the card in general that is read as the challenge.

does the number being on the left or right determine it?
