{ Mingledingle Monday }

I felt like this week really called for one of those loud and clear kinds of messages, so I went to my beautiful Scrying Ink deck for guidance. This week's focus card is really keeping in theme with our last couple of card pulls (Hanged Man and Nine of Swords), hold on to your butts because this week I pulled.....

BROOM

Ah yes, Broom. In traditional Lenormand decks this card is presented with the Whip, but this particular deck takes that message one step further by being even more specific. Broom is indicative of clearing away, separation, dissolution and truth - it also signifies a time for some fresh starts. Unlike the argumentative nature of Whip, Broom is more of a cleansing card, sweeping away lies and unhealthy situations to give way to a new beginning.

Lenormand Broom (Whip) is represented by the Jack of Clubs (AKA Page of Wands) in cartomancy, which means this is also a time that is ripe with opportunity. It's good for us to embrace this change with positivity and enthusiasm, but to keep our impulsiveness in check. Change is not easy, Y'all. I know some of you may be experiencing some difficult or uncomfortable transitions right now and it might be hard to keep your chin up about it. Broom here is letting you know that you are making room in your heart for things which truly enrich your soul, and you will come out of this a happier, healthier person. 

We have been working on changing our perspective, on breaking our bad mental habits and now we are being asked to really clear the air and make space for those new possibilities that are opening for us. Let's do this shit!

{Three Card Monday }

Hi Y'all - I hope your weekend was good! I painted two huge ceilings and then treated myself to seeing Get Out, which I loved. Have you seen it? I love horror movies and also Jordan Peele, so this was a treat for me - I highly recommend.

Anyways, let's do this thing.

I've missed my Scrying Ink deck lately and really felt like we could use a super direct reading, so I cracked it out for us. These cards are so beautifully illustrated, I've shot them individually so we can get a better look at them!

The Scrying Ink, Mountain - with my paint-splattered, Grandpa hands. 

- Mountain - All right. So we are presently facing some difficulties. We are experiencing some significant issues and it feels like things are moving so slowly right now. While our obstacles are no joke, they are not insurmountable...we are just going to be in for a long slog of it.

But!

The Scrying Ink, Dog. WE HAVE DOGES.

- Dog - WE HAVE DOGES, Y'ALL. The Lenormand Dog is a card that signifies friendship, alliances, loyalty, companionship and trust. Our friendships and community are instrumental in times like these and we must remember to help each other when things get tough. We have strength in our numbers and let us not forget what a powerful tool LOVE can be. Also, Dogs!

Therefore...

The Scrying Ink, Crown, which is badass.

- Crown - We are being asked to assume greater positions of responsibility with this card. Finding power in our numbers, we will perhaps be called to instigate great change and take a role of leadership. If you feel uncomfortable with this, believe me, that feeling is normal. I feel like many of us have seen or felt a significant shift towards more spiritual practices - moving away from traditional and outmoded methods while honing our intuitive skills. The Crown is not part of the traditional Lenormand deck, so I believe that it's appearance here is also pushing us to trust our gut and not be so reliant on 'tried and true' pathways. It's time to dig in and get real weird, Y'all!

{ Three Card Monday }

Hi Y'all, I hope you had a great weekend! I used my new Lenormand deck by artist Siolo Thompson today because, A) It's so pretty!!! I LOVE IT! LOOKA THE PRETTY IMAGES!; and B) Lenormand readings tend to be more direct and to the point - and ain't nobody got time this week for ambiguity.

:: Fish :: I love seeing this card because this is the card of commerce - finances, business and money. It can turn up in readings for personal health and romance, but generally will always relate to a financial/career type situation. Let's keep looking...

:: Moon :: Our Mystery card is the Moon, which represents creativity, recognition from your peers, dreams and intuition. This moon represents a brightness in the sky and can sometimes mean that you will be in the spotlight. Paired with the Fish, we can connect our Moon with financial success or opportunities. For all you creative types, this is an especially auspicious card for the week - timing favors the New Moon on October 30, so go get it! 

:: Whip :: So, yeah. Whip. This card is a bummer, generally speaking, but I ain't scared. The Whip is usually indicative of an argument or disagreement - and often it turns up when the conflict is an internal one. If you are torturing yourself with feelings of inadequacy, knock that shit off! Remember that you are a bright moonbeam with a lot of light and love to offer. And if you do end up in a tussle, try to learn from the experience and be willing to shift your perspective in the matter. Disagreements suck, but they aren't the worse thing in the world...if you happen to be the party who is wrong, be sure to be accountable and apologize!

Y'all have a great week and remember this beautiful Super Hunter Moon!!
