Hey guys what do you do if your pendulum gets chipped or breaks. I can still use it it’s not too bad but do I need to do anything or idk

stable dune
#

I think I read that if you broke it was because of a lot of negative energy.

I’m still unsure. Especially the last card. I’m not sure if I’m getting ahead of my self that it says it wants me as a partner to work with. It’s gotten really cold to my left and I’ve had a specific burning spot or sensation on my left shoulder as I was reading to the 3 and 4 card.

Top left is card 1 bottom right card is 8 and the one off next to my mouse is 9

Bee’s‘s old deity identification spread

(i use a newer one for my deity readings that i like a little more but this one isn't bad at all!)

Card 1 What influences or aspects do you have or rule over?
Card 2 What is your personality like?
Card 3 What will the relationship between you and y/n be like?
Card 4 How can y/n best make this relationship happen?
Card 5 What will get in y/n’s way?
Card 6 What do you want y/n to know about you?
Card 7 What do you like or value?
Card 8 What do you dislike?
Card 9 Do you want this relationship to be long-term or short-term?

"you" referring to the deity ofc, y/n referring to the reader or subject

#

these were the questions I asked while I was shuffling and pulling.

dreamy rampart
#

gotcha!

misty plaza
#

ssorry

#

I mainly referred to the bookllet/website of the card deck to get the keywords

#

but now they seemed to mellow down and it's not as freezing to my left. but now a lil faint. but I think mainly because I started to focus on daily chores and stuff.

dreamy rampart
misty plaza
#

it's all good and I understand. I was hoping to see if you sent me a book about the deities so I may read about them and see which one it was that was with me.

Given the fact that I've only come into contact with hades He's the only one I thought was familiar. but the temperature was different.

#

but It could also be because I don't remember so well anymore

[Is Spoon Divination a thing? I half remember reading somewhere that it was a thing about dripping oil from one spoon into another and interpreting how it dropped or something but idk if it is that or something else]

dreamy rampart

stable dune
#

I have a question, what is an oracle and how does it work?

dreamy rampart
#

so oracle cards are essentially a form of card divination.

unlike tarot no two oracle decks will have the same layout or meaning, because instead of being based off of a layout like tarot is they are instead created by and for various different reasons.

one deck may have 20 cards where another deck may have 70, and the themes across them can be as different as being oracle cards that describe the meanings of different mushrooms to oracle cards that are dedicated to explaining emotions through color.

you can use Oracle decks in pretty much the same way you would use any form of card divination using them with card spreads, as daily pulls, for communication, etc

#

they're also may be differences in how two different decks are red based on the instructions given to you by the creator of it

#

some are meant to be used as motivational tools others can be subbed in for card games so on and so forth

When I first got my pendulum I JS asked "give me a yes" "give me a no" etc.. then I wrote them on a piece of aesthetic paper and that's it-

#

Guess what! I just got my multipack of pendulums I ordered!

#

Rose quartz for Aphrodite, clear quartz for the kemetic pantheon, tiger eye for the heathen pantheon, amethyst for my familiars and obsidian for anyone else

tired scarab
#

Ooo tiger eye my favorite

south arch
#

[I'm getting obsidian, it's my favorite gem and with my current method of communication, though semi unreliable, have told me my deities are fine with one pendulum multiple times]

tired scarab
#

Has this ever happened to anyone else? I was doing a reading for someone else and I was using my main deck and it kept spitting out nonsense

#

I had never used it to do a reading before for someone else

#

So part of me thinks it's just really clingy and doesn't want me to use it for anything other than me problems

dreamy rampart
#

I have a few that do that some do not like reading for deities some do not like reading on specific topics

tired scarab
#

Its so fascinating

#

I've never had anything like this happen before

#

I used a different deck and the answer made sense right away

There was this one time I spoke to Hermes via my tarot cards (context? Been getting a sudden influx of like Hermes and Apollo content on my FYP on tiktok even though I didn't even like them or searched them up. I know that the algorithm isn't supposed to be trusted but aside from that ghe previous week, I would have the song he's on the Epic the Musical soundtrack, Wouldn't You Like, be stuck in my head MOSTLY THE LAUGH) and I was in the middle of asking him something like 'I need some clarity-' and mans outright throws me the King of Swords mid-shuffle and I just got the general vibe of Hermes going like ':)' but in a very trickster sort of way 😭😭

#

There were times where I was also asking him other stuff and everytime I was in mid-ask and shuffle, random cards would pop out and I could feel the vibe of Hermes laughing 😭😭

#

can i do any spread on myself?

stable dune
#

I mean, yeah, why not?

#

The whole tarot thing is not only limited to future reading, rather the evaluation of self

verbal gate
#

The only other thing I would keep in mind is the amount of energy a reading might take
For me, 3 cards are really easy to do, but more than like 6-8 is a proper sit down session that I have to really focus on

#

I've done 12 cards in the past and that linda took a lot out of me, but that was also a little different cause I was testing a new spread for the first time

stable dune
#

Ooh i get that feeling, especially when you read combo cards as well. I just refuse to do fixed spread and just go 3 on anything i ask

near wraith
#

so if i want to ask a quick question i should do 3 cards?

verbal gate
#

Yeah it varies for me. I can do spreads where each question gets one card, but if I have a specific question, then I usually pull about 6 cards

#

Most people do 3 cards for quick questions, but do what works for you! Some people just do 1 or 2 cards and there's also people like me who do 6-8 for most questions

near wraith
#

i wanna do a spread but i dont know which one

#

im looking in resources and tthey all look so interesting

stable dune
#

If you are beginner beginner, i'd suggest do simple spreads or just start from 1 card

3 spreads are usually beginner friendly

verbal gate
#

I would not recommend starting with something like the iceberg if you're new to tarot

near wraith
#

im very new to tarot

#

i started yesterday

#

ive alreadyy learned what small and big arcanas are

verbal gate
#

Yeah start small then. There's a lot of options for smaller spreads, but the more cards you use, the more energy you need

and what elements the differents cards represent

near wraith
#

ok tyy

near wraith
#

guys

#

is there a spread for

#

helping people?

verbal gate
#

Helping people how?

near wraith
#

like a spread to see what will happen

verbal gate
#

Well I mean there are people who use divination to try and look into the future, but it can only really show what's mostly likely to happen based on how things are at tgat moment. There's a million things that can change in just a few minutes that might change the outcome

near wraith
#

do i have to be more advanced att tarot to do that?

verbal gate
#

I mean that might depend on how you define advanced, but I don't think I would recommend it for people who are super new to it beyond something like pulling a couple cards to see how your day might go

near wraith
#

okay

#

maybe i shouldnt do it then

verbal gate
#

I know that's kind of where I started when I was learning tarot, but these days I don't prefer to do predictions because they're so liable to change (also because of religious reasons but that's unrelated)

@spare maple OH! I forgot we had this! #1114061678963855410 message
it's an intro spread as a sort of ice breaker for establishing a new connection!

if you would want like a sort of ritual to go about handling this spread you can:

  • cleanse your space and maybe the candles
  • start off with introducing yourself
  • explain why you want to work with both of them
  • show them the offering candles you have
  • then jump into the spread itself

#

sounds amazing thank you so much!!

How do I spread out my deck? Should I just take the first card that’s on the top after shuffling? Do I take some cards up from the deck and take the card that’s under? How do I do it?

dreamy rampart
#

I'm so you could do any one of those none of them are wrong or improper ways to pull

#

I personally Shuffle until something falls out and if nothing falls out after a few minutes I'll pull the top or bottom card or I'll re-ask my question in a way that's easier for my cards to interpret

near wraith
#

oki tysm

tall prawn
#

Imma bout to get my first tarot deck any tips?

dreamy rampart
#

so I would definitely go about bonding with your deck as much as you can maybe doing an interview or asking it questions just to get to know it's sort of reading style if that makes sense!

tall prawn
#

Ok 👌 thank you I was planning on it I’m just a bit nervous 😥
( I come from a really Christen family) so I’m very much a beginner witch

dreamy rampart
#

what kind of things were you nervous about maybe I could help with helping you understand the cards a little bit better

tall prawn
#

Well just basically I’ve been taught that if I do any kind of divination or look for signs or stuff God will just absolutely hate me 🤣 but im just trying to cry and deal with that rn

dreamy rampart
#

ahhh i see! well I don't know much about what exact flavor of Christianity you are but as somebody that grew up Catholic (is now Jewish) and whose mother is both a witch and Catholic and regularly uses divination

I find that it helps to understand that people use it in a way to also speak with God just as you would prayer or anything else really

#

a lot of people follow the Bible more closely which is entirely understandable and definitely makes sense but there are Catholic and Christian witches who do you use divination and God definitely doesn't hate them lol

tall prawn
#

Oh my gosh flavor 🤣
Thank you 😊 is never thought of it that way before and um yeah my family (except my dads side ) are all Jehovah’s witnesses which I mean not bad people but definitely some strong opinions about stuff I came out the the broom closet to a couple friends and it’s helped a little bit and I’m planning on showing my dad some of my work and seeing if he’ll get the hint

#

Also I really needed to hear that god doesn’t hate me
Been having absolute panic attacks over that (stupid I know but hey.. 🤣 oh well

dreamy rampart
#

it's definitely not stupid and having panic attacks can definitely be understandable if you're experiencing that level of fear and uncertainty about your own religion!

but yeah there's definitely no harm in feeling how you do about what you do

tall prawn
#

Thank you !
You made me think about this from a perspective I hadn’t thought about 🧐

Also like it’s weird I agree with some things my religion teaches but not all but ya know I don’t wanna leave I just wanna do this and that 🤣 maybe that’s just the adhd in me

dreamy rampart
#

maybe you can look into something like Christian paganism?

tall prawn
#

Yeah thx I’ll make that a study project

Heyyy, I’m in need of opinions
I’m doing a deity identification spread. And here’s what I know so far

For 1 I know for sure it’s a Greek Divinity

For 2 It’s most definitely not Aphrodite.

I’ve displayed below the spread I use
And the actual reading I’ve formed
Feel free to ping me with ur take
If you see this!

spare maple
#

i’m not too sure but i would pay attention to the repetition of fours and pentacles

#

i would interpret the first card as apprenticeship/learning probably representing your relationship with the deity (in my opinion)

steel ridge
#

This feels like it could be Hades based on the King of Pentacles, sun reversed, and four of pentacles reversed

unreal mirage
#

We’re both on the same page fr 😭

spare maple
#

i really don’t know enough about greek deities to help much sorry (i just read percy jackson in middle school lol)

unreal mirage
#

Before this . I finally was like I need to be to this bottom of this. And before I could pull my card. The lovers fell from my deck and the next card was the hanged man. Both cards show a glowing light like the sun.
But they appear on opposite directions

spare maple
#

the hanged man can be a sign of patience and taking things as they come, so the deity might have been like “hold your horses, we’ll get there when we get there”

steel ridge
#

He rules over material wealth and chthonic Gods are associated with ||death||, transformation which the sun reversed (shedding negative belief systems and adapting to personal growth and reflection)
and four of pentacles reversed (shedding material attachments, negative attachments and letting go). If its Hades then the lovers makes sense because Persephone just went back to the underworld to him, also representing decisions and the potentiality of being able to work with Him and Her. The hanged man combined with all the other cards leads to personal transformation and surrender, so I think it’s worth seeing if Hades is the one!

dreamy rampart
#

the lovers could also be a sign of how your relationship with him will work, as a solid & strong partnership

unreal mirage
#

Im cooked 😭 /j

wdym?

#

Conflicted. I make jokes with hermes but I’m afraid of the big 3 💔

#

And the specific form of hermes I commune with is his underworld face

#

Thee Hermes Khthonios

honestly i feel the least intimidated by Hades (posideon and zeus tho sideeye )

#

It’s the opposite for me 💔

#

I love that emoji

unreal mirage
#

My mentor worked closely with Hecate and she reached out to me a long time ago. But I politely refused her offer. And I assumed it was her at first. But when I got the lovers.

#

It kinda made me think so I asked for help and I feel like Mimi hit the nail on the head

dreamy rampart
#

hmm i could also see hekate tbh

unreal mirage
#

I’ll have to see then

dreamy rampart
#

bongocat having at least a list helps narrowing down that massive list that comes from that pantheons

unreal mirage
#

Ooooh

steel ridge
#

Imo I could see it also being Hekate but I think between Him and Her it’s more likely to be Hades, she makes her presence pretty clear as the High Priestess / the Moon card a lot of the time

#

But def pull more cards + get additional confirmation if you feel like that’s necessary! This feels so exciting

How does one practice clairvoyance and clairaudience?

dreamy rampart
#

clairsenses tend to fall under energy work and there are a few ways:

  • if you have a spiritual team you can ask them to send you things starting from smaller to larger (so start at maybe a small pinging noise and work to full on sentences)
  • meditate and focus on the specific sense you want to work on, sense what you can on this plane so maybe think about your movements before you move. then work up to doing that past the veil and into the other planes
#

those are what i know folks do but im not the most clairsense savvy

We built up our clairaudience through music

compact ledge
#

do anyone know what a bat means in tea leaf reading?

#

and a frog?

final kayak
#

I would look for correspondences to what you're seeing! bats can symbolize death and rebirth for example

compact ledge
#

damn

#

i mean it was more so a "when will this happen" sorta question so Im sorta confused on how to connect it to that

final kayak
#

there's different meanings according to different cultures for animals as well, I would see what resonates with you!

compact ledge
#

thanks!

verbal gate
#

Yeah tea leaves are tricky cause they're very intuitive so it's hard for others to tell you what the reading means since everyone has their own interpretations

sullen sleet
#

As an aside, I find unless you have one of those tasseography cups with sections for certain dates/times/astrological correspondences, it's tricky to use tasseomancy for time-based readings in my experience, for kind of the reasons you're running into

near wraith
#

i know that its not recommended to use the same spread countless times, but what if i do the same spread one time everyday?

#

is that going to be any different

dreamy rampart
#

are you hoping for a different answer each time?

#

because if your doing one on say a relationship, your going to get different answers because there are going to be inconsistencies for which cards you pull

#

so the answers may not be the same and it may lead to, as usual, you doubting your cards, skills, intuition, etc

near wraith
#

what if i wanna do an energy of the day

dreamy rampart
#

well sure thats something like a daily pull on a non-specifc subject

near wraith
#

fx this one energy of the day / focus on / avoid

dreamy rampart
#

if its an "of the day" type of thing then its meant to be used daily

near wraith
#

ohhh okay

dreamy rampart
#

but if its like "am i going to get this job?" and you ask every single day but dont change anything about what your doing to get the job then like irl there is no progress on it

near wraith

wondering if anyone else can help me?

winged venture
#

@spare maple I think you were spot on with 2 and 3 but I'd personally interpret the rest something like this

1: you have courage reaching out and showing interest, you can form a good relationship if you prove yourself

4: I'd probably interpret this more as you needing to do some personal growth spells, maybe some shadow work. This card gives me the feeling that this deity values sacrifice and offerings

5: volunteer work and giving donations could strengthen your connection. Not necessarily monetary donations but maybe you could go through your closet and pick out clothes you don't wear often or are no longer interested in and donate them to people in need. You could volunteer to walk dogs at animal shelters and stuff

6: I would interpret this as creating a self care ritual and devoting the actions of taking care of yourself and healing any past trauma to this deity. Offer the act of finding inner peace

7: your deity will be with you every step of the way on your journey as you find success, creativity, and growth

8: if you take the steps he'll help provide stability and security

Commenting here to find this thread later, but also to make a general comment. Divination is pretty cool y'all. I've got two oracle decks I've bonded pretty well with so far. I'm still a newbie, but I've gotten a lot of insight from them and I've got a lot to learn. I've got the deck bug lol, but I'm gonna hold off on getting more until I've worked more with my two oracle decks ❤️

#

I'm also trying to do bibliomancy. I'm not too solid on that, but I heard it's something that requires a lot of practice! Looking forward to seeing where that goes!

Ok Apollo has to be calling me because:

a few days ago I saw a fox in the park behind my school (we don’t live near a forest)

#

and (TW ||bugs||) we just found a ||harmed wasp|| on the floor of my house in the middle of November (my cat was pawing at it completely unharmed)

#

I looked both animals up and they’re both associated with him

#

Nvm it was lying (did vetting just now)

#

But weird things have been going on around me recently

dreamy rampart
#

tbh ive never heard of ||wasps|| associated with apollo aside from like 2 medium articles im finding

#

ik that ||bees|| are associated with deities like Demeter, Aphrodite (some places say Apollo so maybe thats where its from but not 100% on their validity)
and there is a Hindu goddess thats associated with them ||hornets and bees||

Omg this is completely random but I love when I pull cards for myself and they tell me that something is coming and it’s usually a breakup and then when it happens I’m shocked

I have a question about one of my readings i had the card of death not to long ago and it said to let that version of me "die" basically

dreamy rampart
#

so death means change and in that it means that you need to let go of and allow the past to be laid to rest in order to move forward.

its the "death" of something to grow something new

Has anyone had an experience with the pendulum where information is coming through in another language (perhaps ancient?)

spare maple
#

i’m not sure what you mean? in my experience pendulum only really moves it doesn’t speak words

fossil hawk
#

Through using a letter board 🙂

dreamy rampart
#

personally no. mainly bc any and all my communication is done through English.

spare maple
#

also imo if a spirit is reaching out to me that means it wants to talk to me, and it can’t talk to me if it’s speaking in a language i don’t know lol

#

so like that defeats the spirits whole purpose of reaching out to me

#

have you ruled out mundane things like wind? maybe wind was pushing your pendulum to random letters so it looked like a different language? /lh

fossil hawk
#

Anything is possible, but it doesn't seem random and follows a pattern. What does /lh mean?

spare maple
#

it means light hearted

fossil hawk
#

Oh, thank you. That's nice!

dreamy rampart
#

and even if it wasn't a different language I doubt it would be in like an ancient language especially if it's one that's not spoken.

of course like you said anything is possible but it's best to be sure to rule out mundane things like micro movements/wind for pendulums. if it's not that then gl on figuring out the word/gen

spare maple
#

have you put the words into like google translate or googled them? maybe that’ll help you figure out if they’re real words or just random

dreamy rampart
#

^^^ also depending on language it might not be feasible to consider it an ancient language especially if it's a word that looks unfamiliar to you as not all languages even in modern-day use the Latin alphabet.

words trying to be spoken to you in a Chinese dialect may look strange and unusual to you since the Chinese language doesn't use the Latin alphabet

spare maple
#

there’s this common idea in pop culture that spirits will speak in latin or dead languages when in my experience they just speak whatever language you speak lol

#

ancient gods in pop culture: thou shall serve me now weak human
the deities that i work with: shortbread please, i really want some shortbread

fossil hawk
#

Thanks for the responses...I'm going to keep analyzing patterns and ask for more clarity. I do sense there may be something to the ancient language possibility, and am still interested in hearing if anyone has encountered this. Language is symbols, and the past may be reaching out to us in code that transcends alphabet. 🙂

im just curious do yall cleanse your decks? if so, how often, and how do you cleanse them?

yup! I cleanse before every reading typically!

I use the knocking method of like knocking them the knock the old or stagnant energy out of it dragonnod

delicate fractal
dreamy rampart
#

yup for me it's a form of both sound and vibrational cleansing. the act of knocking on them sorta knocks out the possibility of anything icky or dusty being left behind

verbal gate
#

I use it as like "waking up" the deck

dreamy rampart

I would say it acts a little bit similarly to the knock on wood type of thing where you knock on wood to stop something from happening as a form of cleansing.

I also use it to "hiya time to get to work besties"

Ok. First ever tarot. If I did it right(?), in the first slot is the high priestess, to the emperor, to the tower.
Other than the collapse of this painted civilization, how do I even start with this?

winged venture
# fading zinc three spread, i asked what im doing wrong with my life

For me I'd probaby interpret it something like this. The high priestess is saying you're not trusting yourself enough, the emperor is saying you need more structure and routine in your life, and the tower is saying there's something you need to break in order to move forward.

fading zinc
#

so far i feel like the high priestess moreso points to my tendency to never listen to anything not “logical,” not listening to intuition and just. tripple guesisng myself, thinking too much in situations wherein i could solve something with a simple this or that.

#

still. trying to figure this out haha

winged venture

Do you have a tarot journal? I keep a journal of all my readings so I can look back on it and see how accurate it was and it helps me understand things in the moment. Maybe you can journal about it now and then check back later to see if you still feel the same

did my first tarot reading for myself in a few years this morning! i worked with a clean energetic slate so im pretty confident with the validity of my reading. it basically told me to stop being such an armchair witch and actually start incorporating magic into my daily life 😭 called out

fickle rain
#

would anyone be able to help? pepeshy
I'm just a little hesitant to trust myself fully. I did a tarot reading regarding me and someone else. the deck spits out Four of Wands reversed and Nine of Cups upright. great. I shuffle again, intending to ask if I should reach out with a message I have planned for the other person and the deck spits out the exact same card in the same order 😭 I've seen that both cards mean yes but I'm still hesitant to do anything

dreamy rampart
#

so the 4 can mean a few things reversed:

  • personal harmony/stability
  • conflict with others
  • transitions

the 9 can also mean a few things:

  • completion
  • gratitude
  • like a wish coming true?

so i could mean that for you to feel the results of the 2nd card you need to be able to go through the first? so that could mean dealing with conflict and coming to a senste of stability within yourself first

Hello hello, trying to do deity identification for an offering and was wondering if anyone could externally confirm this first spread for me. Greek pantheon is all I know for certain. Can be here or in dms

#

hey friends! last night for a few hours i began to study the hellenic pantheon of dieties and attic calendar right before bed, and once i finished and as i was falling asleep i remember feeling extremely anxious/excited for no particular reason (this doesnt happen normally). this morning, i pulled the fool for my "how should i tackle the day" tarot pull, and im teetering between interpreting this as i sign that i should continue studying it or that im being too spontaneous and i need to dial it back a bit and begin another, different new journey. does anyone have any answer that could possibly guide me in the right direction? i appreciate any input, thank you !! ^^

#

i need to learn to trust my intuition better catcry2

#

i do think it means that i should continue but im overthinking

versed night
#

hmm is your deck a full 78 card one or all majors? just checking

#

but i'd say the fool upright would be a sign to be confident in your new adventure, to take that leap forward bravely

#

dialing it back would be closer to,,, eight of wands reversed or knight of wands reversed

im working with the full rider waite deck since im just a beginner! and thank you so much, i agree!!

I asked God/spirits via my oracle deck what I should do in terms of energy healing (as it's something I am considering and I have a teacher in mind but was unsure due to the cost, etc.). I got this spread -

I was like 😅😱

#

The spread was just "three cards about what I should do" and GOOD GRIEF!

To me that reads as like "pursue the path, but maybe not that teacher" but I also don't know if there's broader definitions beyond the phrases on the cards

There's some specifics in the guidebook but yeah, what you're saying could check out. I was easily understanding the first and third card but wasn't fully sure about the cut the cords card

Hello! I’m not sure if this is the right chat but I did a reconciliation spell with my boyfriend and I felt like it was going good until about the 5th day and when I went to the cards it straight up told me it had been disrupted and I feel like it’s because of a forced conversation I made him have with me. I’m trying to ask my cards if I should do it again or try another or something else and I can’t get a straight answer. Can anyone tell me what this means or another way to figure it out? Please and thank you!

dreamy rampart
next plaza
#

I’m asking for a simple yes or no but it’s giving me cards that don’t have any relation

#

At least to me it doesn’t have any relation

#

Twice I ask: if I should try it again? I got the page of wands and the hierophant upside down

#

So it’s kind of like mixed signals

#

And when I ask if I should try another one I get the hanged man

dreamy rampart
next plaza
#

On the meaning of the card

#

Should I try another way?

dreamy rampart
#

no that's fine more so was asking since other people do so differently

#

for example some decide not to use whether or not a card is reversed or not

#

so they only read yes/nos upright

#

hmm I don't know that I would say that the hierophant is a mixed signal from the page of wands

#

both are about like discovering new ideas especially with the hierophant reversed.

it's telling you to go your own way which may mean "you kinda need to make that decision for yourself"

#

I feel like these both are maybe cards not ones that necessarily dictate yes or no specifically and it's more so a "I'm leaving it up to you" type of thing

Thank you!

The Reading My deck gave me, and it resonated very well!

smoky hatch
#

I got a reading tonight but it's rather confusing to me, considering what it is that was asked and the cards that came out! It does make some sense if I really, really use the basic meaning and make it fit what I asked but... I want to ask someone else before I take it that way!

I did a card spread called Situation, Action, Outcome.

1st card: What is the current state of affairs?
2nd card: What actions can you take, or are currently taking, to address the situation?
3rd card: What kind of result can you expect from taking those actions?

1st card: Judgement, REVERSED.
2nd card: 4 of Wands.
3rd card: Ace of Pentacles, REVERSED.

TW just in case but it's generalized heavily to keep readers safe- but here's why I asked:
||My ex-bf and I live together and go through things a healthy couple would normally never have any issue with. My ex is in fact "the problem" and I catch him doing so many things that are just negative all around and impact me so. As well as our toddler. It's very stressful and traumatic.||

Situation: Because of the things you've gone through with your ex, you are left judging yourself too harshly. You've been belittled and now belittle yourself. Now is the time to reflect and take back your life.

Action(s): Spend time within your communities, with friends, with family and just anyone who positively impacts you. Rather than spending time with those who hurt you and diminish your self-worth. This card also entails that you are reaching a particularly important milestone. You will have every reason to feel proud and satisfied!

Outcome: You may have bit off more than you could chew, when starting this family with him. You may be missing resources and be in need of more resources than you had originally thought you'd need. Beware of the illusions that cloud ones vision when in a traumatic/stressful place. Ask for advice and stay open minded. Do NOT make any big investments.

I can't really make sense of the 2nd one as an "Outcome" though..

dreamy rampart
#

so now you'll be able to know when you are liking resources when you're poorly planning something when you're in need of advice or outside help and you will have a better understanding of how to make financial decisions that would better impact you

#

am I making sense?

i just got the most accurate answers with my new tarot set it was crazy
i read for my little brother and grandma

I asked for my grandma 3 cards, past present and future about the status in our family, past and present were so accurate

asked for my little brother about his job, 2 cards, what he want to become now and what he wants to do later (rn he want to be youtuber) and got a card about fame, creativity and other stuff which fits into that role T-T
the other card was about his appearance and being a business man in a creative role :D

It actually shocked me since my first deck gave me such negative answers and usually inaccurate cards, even tho I tried connecting with it
And this is the first reading i've done with this set ^^

#

i also feel a so much more positive engergy/feeling when im holding it, instead of the gloomy/heavy feeling i had with the other one

stable dune

Funnily enough, reasons i changed deck is similar. I felt negative answers that just doesn't make sense with my first deck, hence i used alternate divination methods just to find a matching tarot

Is there anywhere I should get dice specifically for divination, or would something even like dice just from my local game store work for that?

Okay so with dice divination how does that work if you try to incorporate fudge dice, and is that even a possible thing? Here's a picture of fudge dice for context

So it'd be like the pluses being positive/affirmative/yes, the minuses being negative/no, and the blank sides being either reword or maybe?

I cant go out inti the forest to look for anything or ||roadkill|| because it is cleaned up within a day and forests are too far away from me :/

I did have some questions, can it be done on its own or does it have to be through a deity? (I assume not)
Are there any types of ||bones|| disrespectful/appropriation to use?
How would I properly take care of them?

(I will do my own research after this but it's 1 am, and I'd like a basis ^^)

Also, please dont forget to ping me!

I can try and answer this!
So for where to get them, that's gonna depend on what's available to you. Some of mine are from a set that came into my possession, but I've also saved some from thinks like turkey or chicken that my family cook
We also should have some things in https://discord.com/channels/599776551306788874/1114060481867567114 that should help as far as any species to avoid and I think also how to care for them

I pretty much always do my throws without deity influence

I have 2 sets for divination. One for yes/no stuff which is made of straight or long ||bones|| and one of smaller ones with more interesting shapes that I use more intuitively kinda like a charm or rune set

brave flax

I was looking at getting cat ||bones|| if I could find any, I'll try my best to find an seller (who didn't harm any animals for it) :3

How do I go about actually practicing divination? And I don't mean like as in doing the practice of divination, but more like practicing to develop the skill if that makes sense?

#

Kinda like how with math classes you have homework to practice with in order to learn it

#

Is there something like that for divination?

dense snow
#

i just do it frequently and hope i get better (for me it works)

dreamy rampart
#

honestly its just doing the actions more. testing readings, spreads, and learning what they mean comes with time.

its not like a school assignment but more like crochet where you have to actually do the task in order to practice

dense snow
#

yess i think you have to just do it, theory (like learning a bunch of spreads or watching videos about it) can only take you so far

earnest juniper
#

I don't know what to actually divine on/about though exactly if that makes sense

dreamy rampart
#

do a daily read! people find that helpful

earnest juniper
#

Like I don't have context/a topic/etc to do a reading for

dense snow
#

daily pulls are my go to personnally, or weekly, monthly... at the beginning of a week/month

dreamy rampart
#

using it to understand what the big themes for a day will be

#

also what methods are you utilizing?

earnest juniper
#

Astragalomancy is the main one I want to use

#

But I can also use tarot and oracle

dense snow
#

you could also do like okay let's pull a card to represent an element, a day of the week, heck even a fictional character

earnest juniper
#

I have access to all three of those so

dreamy rampart
#

okay so then you can also bond with the dice themselves by using it for more mundane topics. watching a movie and show? ask the dice or cards! reading a book? ask what the tools think of the plot

earnest juniper
#

Huh okay

dreamy rampart
#

this can help you understand how the tools work

earnest juniper
#

But you don't have to rely on what they say about the mundane things?

dreamy rampart
#

could you elaborate?

earnest juniper
#

Like asking their advice on something is just that, I don't need to follow it exactly

#

If it's like about some kind of decision making

dreamy rampart
#

no your not asking their advice but more about like what the tools thoughts are on that piece of media are

#

sorry if i dont have exact wording im sick

earnest juniper
#

It's okay no worries

dreamy rampart
#

you could ask if for what if you need help in decision but your not required to follow anything. the joys of free will

earnest juniper
dense snow
#

yeah ! and also get to know their personnality

dreamy rampart
#

yeah that can also help you understand how to read answers in a non-divining setting and more of a conversational one

dense snow
#

im sorry i just replied "yeah" as if you were talking to me and not Oli 😭 im impulsive

earnest juniper
#

You're part of the conversation too ^^

earnest juniper
dreamy rampart
#

so some folks struggle when it comes to reading cards as a conversation when they are trying to reach out and communicate with deities. Divination is just one aspect of these tools and usually refers to the use of them in reference to divining on the future.

Using the cards for mundane reasons and asking the tools opinions, makes it easier to interpret the cards as a conversation

earnest juniper
#

So more casual and less like structured? Or do you mean like more as the whole rather than individual pieces of the reading?

dreamy rampart
#

both!

earnest juniper
#

Okay I think I kind of understand

#

Thanks for the suggestion ^^

earnest juniper
#

Is it okay if I offered to Nyx the dice set I want to use for divination? Or I guess would that be a question for her?

#

I've seen in a couple places that divination can be a devotional act to Nyx

#

I'm also not sure how to handle having a likely more literal interpretation of the readings that may not actually be accurate because of that tendency towards more literal interpretation. Is shifting away from that also going to just come with practice and time?

dreamy rampart
#

hm well the tools themselves are never really meant to be taken literally. they are always meant to be interpreted to the question or query you have.

Death in tarot isnt an actual Death but an ending of something. which means that you would have to interpret how something like "an ending" would relate to your question

#

so it does in part come with experience but also has to do with understanding that fundumentally these are an intuitive type of practice, not a literal one

earnest juniper
#

I guess a good example of it was one time when I used one of the deity spreads here to communicate with Zeus

#

And for what he feared, the Nyx card came up

#

I thought it meant literally Nyx herself

#

And that it coincided with he feared to upset Nyx

#

That's kinda what I mean when I say I tend towards literal interpretations sometimes

#

I think I also thought it was like what he feared in general once that card came up

#

Rather than what he feared about building a relationship with me, which is probably more likely what was intended

#

It was this spread
#1114061678963855410 message

dreamy rampart
#

sometime that is the case in that you need see a literal interpretation but learning the difference on when to read them as literal is what you need practice to understand

earnest juniper
#

Okay so it's basically just that distinction will come with time and practice?

dreamy rampart
#

yes

earnest juniper
#

Okay thanks oli 💜

median lagoon
#

Hey i have a question about my tarot cards ive just stared learning and so i did a reading about my chakra it was all really negative and had only reversed cards shoild o be worried about that or foes that just say something about myself 😅

dreamy rampart
#

are you from a practice that uses chakras?/genq

or are you using the term to refer to just general energy points?

median lagoon
#

Uhh i think the general energy points i was reading it from a tarot book

dreamy rampart
#

yeah so chakras are a practice within hinduism and buddhism and if you arent from those practices or havent been properly educated on them then i would avoid using that as a term since chakras themselves are a tad more complex than the western concept of them that are just energy points

median lagoon
#

Ah i had no clue

#

Thank you for clearing that up

dreamy rampart
#

#1114762929527599144 message yup this has more info on how they are appropriated by witchy spaces

#

as for your question on you having negative energy:
Not all reversed cards are "bad" and even the "bad" ones are just methods of telling you what you should work on

median lagoon
#

Ah okay thank you so much

dreamy rampart
#

yeah i obviously dont know the cards or the questions you asked but if you are worried cleansing yourself and setting up wards can be a great way to help any energy thats negative

dense snow
#

I was pulling my daily card but my mind wandered and i remembered this one time my friend did this -not serious but- very foolish thing and the fool fell out of my deck at that moment 😭

#

I can't

earnest juniper
#

I should dig around for a dice set interview thing

#

Similar to like how there are tarot deck interview spreads

#

But just like for dice sets instead

#

If that's even a thing?

#

It feels like it should be but I can't really find any

dreamy rampart
#

hm you could base it off the one we have!

something more based around ones not describing imagery (since dice don't have that)

earnest juniper
#

Off a tarot one? /genq

dreamy rampart
#

yeah

earnest juniper
#

This one?
#1114061678963855410 message

earnest juniper
#

I'm not sure which one you intended exactly Oli

dreamy rampart
#

I meant any one tbh

earnest juniper
#

Okay so that one to interview the dice set would be okay to adapt it to them from tarot?

stable dune
#

It's okay, as long as you know how to apply it

earnest juniper
#

I can try and figure it out

earnest juniper
#

Okay I have a question about what this part means exactly

#

I don't quite get what this is

#

Like "I verb this sign" well what about it what aspect I don't understand

open stump
#

i think theyre two different associations rather than a linear sentence/statement

#

like for example 5 would be associated with desire and the sign leo

earnest juniper
#

Okay so I got 2

#

It has Taurus what exactly???

open stump
#

so again its not really a linear statement but rather two different associations

#

so 2 would be associated with "having" in general not "having taurus"

earnest juniper
#

So then how do the signs actually come into play then?

#

Could it also be like "I resemble the aspects/traits of Taurus" or something to that effect?

open stump
#

i think it depends on the context tbh, like for example if you were doing divination with dice to give you a possible answer to the question "what are my positive/negative qualities" and you rolled a 2 it could mean that your positive/negative qualities are related to the qualities of taurus? if that makes sense?

earnest juniper
#

So context dependent

open stump
#

yeah! most forms of divination will be context dependent so that you can rely on your interpretation of the answers if that makes sense

earnest juniper
#

How does all that work in the context of this question then?

#

The bottom part that's more sentences is my sorta understanding but

#

It could be way off

#

I haven't done divination much

open stump
#

sorry, im not really the one to ask for interpreting readings and stuff 👍 but hopefully someone else can help

earnest juniper
#

No worries

#

I'm not either (hence why I'm trying to practice 😅)

#

I feel like I just think too literally sometimes to be able to divination

#

I also just realized that I got 4 2s

#

Which multiply into 16

#

If that's at all relevant

stable dune
#

I'd say about the Taurus part depending on this context, you asked about what they are, so their answers will always represent the qualities of Taurus Zodiac

#

It's all about the feel, taking it too literally with always hinder at the context of divination

dreamy rampart
#

sometimes things like this are a little bit more like taking into consideration which dice are going to answer your questions the best not taking them as a whole every single time

#

dice divination is not the same as tarot in which you need a whole deck in order to properly convey your message. and even at that not everybody that uses tarot uses all of the cards all of the time some only use major arcanas or they only use the minors depending on what the situation calls for

earnest juniper
#

And it's going to be an issue regardless of what tool I use

dreamy rampart
#

I think it also might be that you're trying to read so much on a singular question because casting that many dice for just one question can muddy up some of the answers if you yourself are not confident in Reading as a whole yet

#

you need to start off smaller and work your way up

earnest juniper
#

So like start with maybe just a d6?

dreamy rampart
#

if you feel like that would be the best for the questions that you're asking then go ahead yeah

earnest juniper
#

I'm not sure

#

I think any way I'm going to not have enough context to get anything meaningful or remotely correct

dreamy rampart
#

well you can never really know until you try

#

because doubting your abilities can also doubt your progress and therefore hinder you from getting comfortable with the dice as a whole

earnest juniper
#

There's only so much shifting of how my brain works I can do though /lh

dreamy rampart
#

it's understandable to be frustrated or disheartened because you're not able to properly grasp these meanings as they are not meant to be taken literally.
but all in all it comes down to learning how to interpret things and how to use your own intuition and not just read off of a page in order to get your answer

#

and sometimes what you need is something more direct and literal which is fine but it may be that you and divination just aren't the method that are going to work together.

or that you need a method in which you were only able to get literal answers like yes and no

#

if you can't understand more complex or more up to interpretation answers or methods then work with what you can understand don't force yourself to do something that you're going to just continue to get frustrated with

earnest juniper
#

I want to be better at this but it feels like I run into the same problem every time I try

#

And I don't know how to solve it

dreamy rampart
#

genuinely it takes practice that's how you get into understanding what these things mean and how you interpret them.

no one is perfect at any form of divination directly off the bat you have to learn and that means making mistakes and learning from that.

#

it honestly might help to break this stuff down by what these things are.

dice are shapes assigned with numbers.

so going off of that look into shape language look into what number meanings are put those things together and that might help in understanding this form of divination a little bit better.

it's also why with tarot some people learn better by breaking down what makes tarot tarot. it's the combination of the imagery involved the numbers the elements the suits and their meanings.

all of that adds together to make the tarot card what it is

earnest juniper
#

So maybe just start with like one of those "what does my day look like," "what should I be aware of" etc kinds of little ones?

dreamy rampart
#

and honestly that might help too starting off with smaller types of readings instead of going straight into big spreads can definitely help especially if you need to break down these answers one by one

#

jumping into bigger readings like deity readings when you've only just started using a method of divination can we really difficult.

#

be* sorry am sick

earnest juniper
#

Like something like this, just dice-ified?

dreamy rampart
#

it might be worth it to try looking into dice divination spreads the person that made the Tumblr link that you sent earlier has a tag just for dice divination but by its fancy name that has a few spreads underneath it that's where I got the image I sent earlier

earnest juniper
#

Gotcha okay

#

Tomorrow maybe, it's almost midnight so

#

Thanks oli

stable dune
#

I have unused tarot deck that just can't match my energy, i wanted to throw it away but i am at loss as to how. I have deep feelings for it but since i am a closeted witch if i keep it for too long it might get found soon. How should i throw it away?

#

If some people remember, it's the one where the devil card gets burnt

dreamy rampart
#

maybe you can use it in spells?

#

if that's an option for you?

#

like rip the cards and use them as a method of bringing that intention to you and your spell work

stable dune
#

I tried talking with my deities and demons about that idea, they are giving a hard no. They are giving hints that the deck is not fitting for me and my current work. I tried cleansing it from time to time but still a hard no...

#

So for a while i just kept it in my safe bag, wondering how to utilize it.

dreamy rampart
#

hmmm tbh of you don't have a way to utilize it then getting rid of it may be what's best?

stable dune
#

Yeah. I wanted to get rid of it respectfully so throwing it just in a trashbin would feel... awkward. Is throwing it in a river respectful?

dreamy rampart
#

hm maybe? it could be considered littering tho which in some cases isn't great for the environment if it's like made with gloss paper or has glitter (ect)

#

do you have like a recycling plant or some place you could shred it? doing that might also be helpful?

steel ridge
#

have you considered donating it? some book stores take tarot

autumn silo
#

could you give it awa-^

#

i usually give my decks im not connected to to people who are interested in starting! or compliment mine :)

#

i gave one of my decks to my bf’s little sister (she’s 14)

stable dune
#

Donating it is a big nono because i live in a conservative slash religious country

#

So pagans are basically exiled here

earnest juniper
#

Why does it feel so much harder to find, for lack of a better term, a daily dice spread?

#

Like you can find an abundance of tarot spreads for like "how will my day go" or "what should I expect from today" or things like that

#

But that's not as much a thing for dice and there's less meanings for dice out there I feel like

#

I'm just not sure how to about all this even with the resources I have from here

#

I think there's also still the struggle with divination in general but I'm not sure how to practice exactly?

dreamy rampart
#

the issue is that you seem to struggle with having a very literal way of thinking when divination is not literal.

if something is saying that what you should expect from the day is a number associated with "change" that doesn't necessarily mean you are going to change or that something in your life is going to change but that there is an essence of change somewhere in your life

another thing to know is that even when it comes to daily readings if you're doing it every single day not every reading is going to correspond directly to that day.

you seem to want to get better as fast as possible because you are dealing with these questions and this frustration almost once a week at the very least when this is a skill that takes time nobody is good at divination overnight you can't force yourself to be

#

this is also the place where I'm going to say that interpreting your own sorts of answers from these methods is going to be the biggest thing.

your interpretations is what makes divination divination that's how it works.

no two people read the exact same tarot deck the exact same way because we all interpret the answers differently. what we have are baseline examples of meanings for these things.

and this goes doubly so with dice divination because dice divination is made up of different aspects like shape language numbers colors ECT and all of those things have different meanings when it comes to cultural significance and are associated differently based on person to person

#

this is the reason why I told you that looking into number meanings and shape meanings and color meanings is pretty important when it comes to using this method of divination specifically

it can be frustrating to not get the answers that you need right away but you can't force learning a skill faster because then you're just going to keep wanting to learn the skill

earnest juniper
#

Color might not be as relevant because I just pick colors I like

#

I'm not sure how it works with the sides on the dice when I get like a D&D set of dice

#

As far as the literal way of thinking I'm not even sure how to get around that

#

I'm also not sure exactly how to practice

#

Because I don't get how to do it

#

It's hard to practice something that you don't know what you're doing when you do it, if that makes sense?

#

So yes, it is frustrating. The entire thing is frustrating.

dreamy rampart
# earnest juniper It's hard to practice something that you don't know what you're doing when you d...

this is very difficult to explain because I'm trying to do it in a way that doesn't make it sound overwhelming

you need to break these things down to their most basic parts:

  • what makeup dice?
    this is going to be numbers and the sides of the dice themselves that's where shape language comes into play because each of these dice are based around a shape that is then turned into something that you roll

look into the meanings of numbers

  • what kind of numbers do you have
  • where do these meanings come from
  • what cultures have different number meanings and how does that influence where you are getting your number meanings

look into different shape language

  • what do triangles mean in a specific culture
  • are there any spiritual significance to the shape of a square

you can then learn to understand where these things would combine to create the meanings of dice divination.

it's hard to explain something that you don't understand when I can't be sure of why you don't understand it.

because these are concepts that I've also explained multiple times when we've had these conversations before

#

this is a new doc created by pox about dice divination which might help but I can't be certain

#

and if I'm being completely honest practice is you just asking questions rolling Dice and then interpreting answers

that's all that practicing is. the questions don't have to be super meaningful or entirely something that you put 100% faith into you were just learning how to use this form of something.

it's like learning a new language you have to learn the basics before you jump into having entire conversations

#

and in this case learning your basics is learning how you are going to interpret the meanings of the numbers being rolled to you

#

tldr of that whole thing is that if you're struggling with understanding the concepts as a whole break them down into smaller pieces

#

also I hope none of this is coming across as like frustrated or annoyed in any way I'm sick so I don't have like the best word brains right now I mean all of this like genuine I hope it's not coming across as like rude or anything/gen

earnest juniper
#

I don't think it was I'm just frustrated in general at the process

#

Because like I'm struggling with basically the core part of it, interpreting the results

#

And I feel like it's out of my hands for being able to understand it and do it

#

Maybe I just need a break and to revisit it when I don't have school going on

#

It's finals season and such so

dreamy rampart
#

outside stress can definitely impact how you understand things too

earnest juniper
#

My brain is so fried from all the calculus I've done this semester

#

But hey I got an 88 on the exam I took yesterday so

#

Just have the final exam left

#

That's next week's problem

dreamy rampart
#

depending on if you have a longer break you can maybe treat it as a fun little break project to look into and start your divination Journey ™️

earnest juniper
#

Yeah idk we'll see, I've got all of this left plus maybe some more stuff for public speaking that the teacher hasn't posted yet

#

I hope there's not any more but there's a chance

#

Semester ends Monday the 16th so

earnest lichen
#

May I ask, what do 4 Aces mean in less than 24 hours, 2 Ace of Pentacles, 1 Ace of Cups and 1 Ace of Wands?

dreamy rampart
#

OH NVM

earnest lichen
#

No I mean in the past 24 hours, I've drawn those 4 aces haha

dreamy rampart
#

sorry yeah 😭 I got that after like re reading it 😭

earnest lichen
#

😂

#

Yeah I am curious tho cuz I've never had 4 aces in less than 24 hours, with both sets of 2 being back to back with the readings

dreamy rampart
#

so in all cases the Ace in a suit represents the potential and beginning of the suits energy in your life in some way.

the Ace of pentacles is a sign of a new start to financial gain abundance opportunity things like that

the ace of cups is more so like the new start to a path of being more open to your emotions possibly new relationships and an air of like giving if that makes sense

and finally the Ace of wands is about inspiration new opportunities in the creative sense and just like a sign of potential for a New path

overall I would say that getting that many in a really short amount of time might be a sign that you or the new path that you're working towards are full of potential and also are sort of signs of a new beginning for you

does this make sense

earnest lichen
#

Yeye thank you

#

Ok yeah u ain't gonna believe this, I communicated with Gaap and then asked how he responded to it, and got Ace of Cups, 5th Ace today.

#

I have never drawn this many aces in 2 weeks, let alone a day

#

I asked why so many aces in one day, I'm gonna cry. Ace of Cups. 😭😭😭

dreamy rampart
#

honestly I would take it as a pretty positive sign of this being a new sort of Journey for you!

you're getting the aces because this is a very open and bright flashing lights sign of a new sense of opportunity and stuff like that coming your way I would say

earnest lichen
#

It's all for my request with Gaap when I ask about different areas of it, except the last one

earnest juniper
# dreamy rampart this is very difficult to explain because I'm trying to do it in a way that does...

So when you say the shapes related to them, you mean more like these and not their three dimensional shapes?
https://www.tumblr.com/missasmagickmag/144575867161/shapes-and-their-magickal-meanings

#

So like what the shape of each side is for example?

dreamy rampart
earnest juniper
#

It's probably a less complicated way to look at them

#

And actually most of a D&D dice set is covered by triangles it looks like

#

The faces for d4, d8, and d20 are all triangles

#

d6 is square, and d12 is pentagon

#

Not exactly sure what the d10 is

#

But it's some amount of triangular if not a full triangle

dreamy rampart
#

they're usually multiple shapes within a singular dice which is why I said just looking at the faces alone could be one way of looking at it

earnest juniper
#

It looks 4 sided though not 5 sided

#

For the d10

dreamy rampart
#

d10 would have five faces because it's a 10 sided dice so it needs five on either side

earnest juniper
#

Like each side is made up of two triangles

dreamy rampart
#

of course this all goes into whether or not your d10 is a normal d10

earnest juniper
#

Mine look like this shape

dreamy rampart
#

yeah so there are five of those on either face if you split it down the middle

earnest juniper
#

Okay I think our definition of face is different

#

I'm talking about each number is on a face

#

So there's 10 faces on it

#

And each face has 4 sides

dreamy rampart
#

I'm using scientific terms in that a face is a flat side of a 3d object

#

so there are 10 faces meaning that each half of a dice has 5 faces

#

which is why it would be a pentagon if you were to look at it as a whole

earnest juniper
#

Okay yeah I can see that

#

I was looking a bit more specific

#

Like at the shape of a singular face rather than half of the dice

#

Does that apply to the others too or is that only a d10 thing because they're not clear for each face?

dreamy rampart
#

does what apply?/genq

earnest juniper
#

Because to me like d4, d8, and d20 are pretty clearly triangle faces, d6 is pretty clearly square face, and d12 is pretty clearly pentagon face

earnest juniper
dreamy rampart
#

oh imo it only applied to the d10 bc the weird kite faces

earnest juniper
#

Gotcha okay

#

That's what I figured but I wasn't sure

#

Thanks for clarifying though 💜

dreamy rampart
earnest juniper
#

Now if only it were a bit easier to find things on those shapes 😅

#

I'm getting things such as the infinity symbol and the pentagram and other things mixed in with the research I'm attempting to do

#

Star sign symbols, etc etc

dreamy rampart
#

i would see about sacred geometry

#

we have a crystals lesson on it in #📜transcripts

Thanks Oli dragonlove

hey guys! just did a 2025 love reading on myself and am a little confused on how to interpret the cards and would love for someone to help me out if that’s okay 😭 the upright cards represent my outer world and reverse represent my internal world
the sun (upright)
knight of wands (reversed)
the hanged man (upright)
page of pentacles (reversed)
and then i have that pink love deck and i pulled children and retreat and asked for clarity and the lovers came out.. mind you im 19 and in college so idk why children showed up.

#

so sorry if this annoying i’m just a little confused

earnest juniper
#

I've gotten help with divination plenty of times and still do tbh so I imagine someone can help 💜

#

That someone just isn't me sorry 😅

final kayak
ionic charm
#

no ur all good 😭 thank u for at least reassuring that it’s okay

earnest juniper
#

I still struggle to understand any manner of divination

ionic charm
#

just to help interpret cuz i don’t rlly know what the cards are trying to say

final kayak
#

ah I mean what question did you ask the deck?

ionic charm
#

ahh just like general overview of my love life in 2025

final kayak
#

ohh okay

#

by outer world do you mean how you're being percieved externally? or things going on outside externally?

ionic charm
#

things going on

final kayak
#

ok! lemme see what I can gather

ionic charm
#

thank you so much 🥹

final kayak
#

so with the sun upright it's a positive sign that good sign that happiness is headed your way, opportunities, or in general fulfillment in this aspect of your life

with the knight of wands reversed, it indicates a possible need for self reflection and a call towards your patience or a re-evaluation

with the hanged man represents some uncertainty and lack of direction in your outer world and this paired with the knight of wands could maybe mean it would be good for you to re-evaluate your environment or approach

also with the hanged man in combination with the page of pentacles could indicate a lack of commitment or frustration stemming from boredom

with your other deck, I'm not familiar with it so I can't interpret it but you should check with the guidebook if it comes with!

May i ask, with the cards I got yesterday, it totalled to 8 Aces in one day, is this would you say, going to be greater than the towers distruptive energy when they go off? idk how else to word lmao

#

I did also ask what is needed for this movement and got 8 of Wands so i really don't know how to interpret it at this point

What makes you think they'd be disruptive? /genq

Idk,I've accidentally turned the 9 of Swords into a positive card

I've accidentally turned the 9 of Swords into a positive card

That does highlight an interesting point, in that if we're using tarot to divine the future, it's really only showing us a potential future; whatever we choose to do from there influences that future just as much as any divination might, a classic example of fate vs self-determinism.

Aces in the tarot are about new beginnings or new opportunities. New anything can be disruptive, sure, but not every new thing in our lives is big and world-shifting. Sometimes an Ace of Wands is signaling something as small as a new idea or way to approach a routine task, or hitting upon a new source of inspiration for an ongoing creative pursuit.

One thing that really sticks out to me in this is that you seem to be reading a lot. Are you doing all of these readings on the same subject, and/or with the same deck?

Yeah I do a lot throughout the day, especially now because of some circumstances

Okay, I'll think about it!

This I call The Tree of Life Spread. The card at the very bottom is the seed, the Traveller. The cards lying on top of it are the roots, the Past. The cards standing in the middle are the trunk, the Present. The cards lying at the top are the foliage, the Future. The cards lying along the trunk are What's Missing, Obstacles, and Windfall. And the final card standing alone at the left is another seed from the tree which resembles the Destination, but also a new Beginning.

There are a few ways!

  1. Over time, you'll start to learn the meanings and you'll refer to it less. If you want to learn the meanings flashcard style, an app like Labyrinthos might be of interest!
  2. Read intuitively; use the imagery in the card to guide your interpretation. What do you notice about the card, and how might it apply to your question or situation?
  3. Get a deck like the Tarotorial deck that has the meanings on the cards themselves

My friend read me through tarot about my relationship situation.. safe to say it’s not good

#

I got eight of spades inversed last card

#

first card was hierophant

#

Wait no

#

Not hierophant

#

crap i forgot

#

First card was acc hierophant , Middle card was the moon, last card was the eight of swords reversed

#

As in prezent and the future

#

of love

steel ridge
#

hierophant to me generally represents life and spiritual lessons and the moon represents illusions and needing to dig deeper. you’re 15 (according to your profile). im sorry that your relationship situation is hard, but try to find the lesson in the situation. you got it, and i promise there are plenty of more opportunities for a fruitful relationship (romantic and platonic) as you continue to grow into yourself

Hi :)
I did a reading for how I can bring money and abundance into my life and this is what I got :o

I have an idea of what it means, but would like another opinion (if that's the right word)

World (R), Death, Temperance, Emperor (R), 7 of Swords

I just shuffled until some cards flew out and left to right :)

steel ridge
# waxen wedge I just shuffled until some cards flew out and left to right :)

Okay awesome! Just making sure. To me this is a pretty general reading - the world reversed means delays in fulfillment and blockages in how you actually view abundance and money, in the sense of how you are personally able to achieve it. The world reversed, death, and temperance advise to widen your view and change your perspective. Finding more meaning in how you achieve abundance (career, clearing limiting beliefs) and how you see yourself achieving that (everyday progress, what steps do you need to take). Because the emperor reversed means that there’s a cold view towards it that is limiting your ability to be able to find a strong structure in financial stability and 7 of swords indicates to me that, that same mindset is deceiving. The advice here feels very much like.. shifting your world view and allowing yourself to step into abundance by recognizing what you have. Adding more details to financial fulfillment for you. What does it look like? How does it feel? When do you want it by? And what steps can you take everyday to work towards that

Hi guys, I'm a newbie witch. I am practicing love spells for my ex. I have a habit of asking the tarot cards for a feedback on the potency of the spell after each casting.
I'm not really good at deciphering or associating meanings between tarot cards, and here are the ones I got (I usually shuffle the deck until a random card falls out. Normally I would draw 3 cards for each question, but today when I shuffled the deck for the 3rd card, "Judgment" and "The Lovers fell out at the same time, so I took both.). So I have:

  1. 4 of Wands
  2. Queen of Cup
  3. Judgment and The Lovers

🔮 In my opinion, this could be a good sign for this spell. I find the image in the "4 of Wands" quite "bright" and the two people look happy. However, I still don't really understand the meaning of the remaining cards. There seems to be a calling in "Judgment." And there seems to be a connection in "The Lovers."

So, when put together, what do the cards mean? Could you please help me decipher the meanings of these cards? Thanks for reading, I would be very grateful to receive your reply. 🥺💖💖

These cards dive into the working a lot more specifically - but overall it is pretty positive. The four of wands talks about stability, long term commitment, physical and emotional foundations that are set up for success (think marriage). It’s a huge, positive milestone but that doesn’t take away from the fact that 50% of marriages end in divorce. Queen of cups talks about what I can only assume is your role, being an emotionally balanced person who is compassionate towards the hardships and the relationship overall. With this work, it also means being mindful of the timing and careful about how you approach it, making sure to not be too overbearing and still allowing the other person to be their own person. That plays into judgement and the lovers, while yes the lovers talks about harmony between two people romantically, it also talks about making balanced and harmonized decisions. Judgement is a huge card, it’s not just a calling. It’s a huge series of different revelations while also addressing the situation from a realistic standpoint, asking yourself: what caused you two to break in the first place? What unspoken issues need to be worked through, both as a romantic pairing and individually? How can it be ensured that both of you are emotionally mature enough to begin again, from a healthier standpoint? And lastly, is it even worth salvaging?

If you’re doing any type of working like this, you should always prioritize making it healthy and doing divination every step of the way. I recommend looking into the cards a lot more deeply because if you have a hard time doing that, it is going to be difficult to navigate what your situation needs. Because otherwise you risk adding conflicting elements and not setting the right intentions, causing a higher potentiality for backfire

Hi everyone, I just got my first obsidian sphere about two weeks ago and tried to start scrying a few times since I got it. I noticed that I get a lot of vivid color effects that have a very deliberate flow to them. I was just wondering if anyone else scrys and has this effect, also how do I interpret the colors I am seeing. Sometimes it is like a filter being turned off and on repeatedly, sometimes its colors flowing in patterns around the sphere then disappearing only to repeat the very same process. I also feel strong pulling forces while doing this.
Edit:(Specifics)
TLDR: how am I meant to interpret color patterns while scrying

I wanted to see the equivalents of a standard tarot cards to my own playing cards for reference so when it is safe to do readings in the open, I can already be somewhat familiar with them, but every time I try to look for a possible answers they don't exactly line up, you know?

dreamy rampart
#

you're missing all of the major arcana and the pages when you use a playing card set

#

your best bet is going to be utilizing the playing card decks as their own form of divination rather than trying to force them to fit into a tarot standard.

because playing cards themselves have meanings outside of being related to a tarot deck

#

tldr: it might help to learn the playing card meanings rather than attempt to fit them into tarot meanings bc your missing about a 3rd of the deck

Hi! New to discord and witchy things in general, although I’ve been committed to tarot as a daily practice for a few months. I am grateful for the guidebook that came with my deck, but I don’t have an understanding of the significance of the spread as a whole. Here’s my pull from tonight, would appreciate anyone chiming in and sharing their knowledge and perspective 🖤

dreamy rampart
#

did you ask any specific questions when pulling these cards

eager coyote
#

I openly ask the universe to show me what I need to see in this moment

dreamy rampart
# eager coyote Hi! New to discord and witchy things in general, although I’ve been committed to...

so based on the cards I'm seeing one thing that I'm getting a lot of is that you need to come into a new sense of yourself but not doing so for reasons that would be considered either greedy or would restrict you spiritually because doing so can result in you feeling down and more prone to taking on childish actions.

The high priestess is about coming into your own intuition and spirituality
the fool is about New beginnings and the start of a New Journey
the devil is a cautionary card on living within excess
and the reversed sun is a card about handling obstacles of sadness or being overly confident inabilities that you haven't gained yet

so overall with your new sort of expansion into witchcraft as a whole this might be that you need to learn and handle the basics well before jumping into things that you aren't sure of or confident in!

#

this is ofc just my take on it

#

This is a lovelyyyyyy interpretation, and I’m so grateful to receive it 🫂

hey all! hope you're well! I'd just like to ask for anyone's thoughts on these two cards I got if anyone wants. I was with my friends and we each did single card 'daily cards' from one of my new oracle decks and my friend's tarot deck. I had no specific questions for my cards and just wanted general guidance. It seems my cards align which is pretty cool, but I wanna see if anyone has thoughts on what it means to get these together. Thanks! Here come the cards once I get the pics -

I have a link that goes more in depth on what the Forge, Don't Follow card means if anyone needs it.

ohhh i think this is a beautiful combo! to me it’s giving, being able to step into a place of power by forging it yourself. sometimes we feel more inclined to follow “traditional” paths because that’s what everyone else is doing or what we are taught to do. but ultimately it’s your life, your power, and you only gain more power as you journey a path that is unique and fulfilling to you! 🤗

That's great I was wondering about something. I have a lot of deteies in my space but is it normal to have a lot of card pulls from them? Like massive ones

#

It's from a couple of months ago

oh opps if your cards have nudity in them they need to be censored due to us being a 13+ space /gen

thats a massive amount, did you ask a lot of questions?

bleak current

No usually I let them tell me what's ahead

dreamy rampart

hmmmm tbh if i pull more than 3 for a single question i start to think that i either 1) need to rephrase my question 2) need to check who im talking to or 3) its me just pulling shit that doesnt need to be pulled

but thats just bc of how i read i dont do massive spreads and i dont pull more than 3 cards for a single question

Oh okay well for me I can read them just fine with the amount they give me. I have mix deties

Hey guys so I was directed here and I need answers!!!! So my bf and I recently moved in and money has been tight since the holidays, also he is not getting paid because of the work he does is out for Christmas break. I am also not getting paid as I’m in between jobs. I recently received some money from family but we had to use it for food, gas, etc. he also won a gaming tournament and won money. Today he randomly received money in his bank that he assumes is somehow him being paid by his job. Today I pulled the ace of pentacles upside down, I was focusing my intention on what his friend would think of me as we were having me meet his friend in person for the first time today. I’m new to tarot so I use Biddy Tarot and I feel like I can’t trust it in this case. Can anyone help? Sorry this is so long lmao🤣

dreamy rampart
#

why do you feel you can't trust biddy tarot?

snow wharf
#

Because I feel like a lot of those are more generalized to fit more people’s needs than what it needs to be

dreamy rampart
#

well that's generally how tarot works as a medium

snow wharf
#

I’m just saying when I’ve read my friends tarot booklets and stuff it seems more accurate

dreamy rampart
#

so like you can't really get around that since you're pretty much dealing with a medium that is meant to be more generalized and then you interpret it based off of your own personal question

#

well all forms of answers are going to be generalized as that's again how tarot works. especially following a booklets answers, those books are made to be generalizing so more people can interpret them.

but aside from that what exactly is making you confused about the card?

snow wharf
#

I guess what’s making me confused is that biddy said it was about watching my finances and financial or personal career loss but it didn’t really have anything to do with my intention about the friends approval

#

And we didn’t even meet the friend so if anything we saved money

dreamy rampart
#

that's understandable, but I feel like this card can be interpreted using the biddy tarot explanation.

this is a card that also talks about having your opportunities fall through and in this case the meeting with the friend ended up falling through because you didn't end up meeting with them.

#

so their approval may not be something that can happen until you end up meeting with them

snow wharf
#

Ohhhhhhh see I just need to talk this stuff out to understand lmao thank you sm

dreamy rampart
#

because how are they going to approve of something/someone they haven't interacted with yet yk?

#

yeah no problem!

unfortunately when it comes to tarot you have to be able to read outside of the box a little bit and not take the cards specifically as being literal. in this case your meaning wasn't literally about the money it was about losing the opportunity to gain what it is that you were asking about

#

and all of that comes with time and just knowing the cards and their meaning as well as being able to separate the words themselves and the implications of the words (if that makes sense)

snow wharf
#

Yeah! Thank you for the wisdom also if you wouldn’t mind I have a sticker of your bf on my laptop can I @ you in irl pics???
