Sunday 3/7/21: 3 card spread and 3/8/21 Portal Workshop: The Chariot

High Priestess

Devil

Chariot


Intuition / best self, higher or more evolved self (High Priestess) at war with Devil (bad habits, negative self-talk, giving into worst tendencies because it feels the easiest). Chariot is asking to evolve beyond these polarities, of feeling like you have to be perfect or that you will fail. Moving to the next stage- "envisioning evolution," how will you show up in the world in a new way? (Dr. K). Ready to transform into something new, an integration of knowledge and experience gained from practicing and yes sometimes failing. Letting go of desire to control everything-- be able to move into a different stage and learn how to trust self as I continue on my journey.

3/8/21 The Chariot

Figure w/ animals/horses-- tapping into that wild energy and harnessing it

Asking us to reflect on and potentially question what we've historically believed are markers of success for ourselves vs. what are the actual markers of success for ourselves. - what we are looking for many times is the feeling that it gives us (do you really want promotion or do you want more money/respect/a job better in alignment with what you do)

What would it look like to shift from what do i want to do in my life vs. what do i want to be in my life? how do want to show up in the world? shifting from external to internal validation


What is one thing that you dream of being able to do in your life?

Create a meaningful body of written + visual work, that shifts people's perceptions about an issue/place and which challenges me to create connections between different sides of my brain. Having that work live in the world and move through the world, to have further conversations and connections with others.

In order to do that, who do you need to be? what kind of qualities would your future self need to have in order to make your dream come true? 

I think my future self's qualities to execute this well would be patience, and diligence in realizing the project- not expecting a quick turnaround. I am already this person now who can make this work, but need more practice with some of the basic mechanical/ technical skills as well as the time necessary to begin to execute the vision.

What are some examples of how you already exhibit these qualities?

I am already trying to take initiative by moving forward with photography, and taking on different kinds of writing. I've already shifted my writing/curation/practice to align more with my passions and interests, and can keep doing so. I am already working on projects in the short, medium, and long term that will hopefully get me towards at least part of achieving this dream.

What would you need to let go of in order to become this person?

I need to let go of fear of failure or of not being good enough/talented enough. I need to give up pride and be more vulnerable with myself and with others to talk more about my desires/drive to do this work, so I can ask for help and for assistance in realizing it.

8/5/20: Seven of Pentacles

-

I've lost track of the days and have been slack on the tarot class because I am drowning in work- and yet don't feel like I've done any work at all. Feeling like I'm operating in panic / scarcity mode and not able to focus on one thing, because everything is pulling me at once. This feels like a time of a lot of possibility and growth, and also I am scared of making the wrong decisions and messing this up. I need to remember to draw on Seven of Pentacles energy to be aware of what needs to be protected (my time, my writing, my relationships) and what I can let go of hoarding (fear of scarcity, loss).

The Fool's Journey

-
Image
The Fool begins her journey meeting The Magician.  From the magician she learns about communing powerfully with the natural world, and drawing on relationships to nature and the earth to build relationships with self. Meeting the Magician is a reminder that there is beauty and things unknown in the world- things that cannot be explained by logic/rules. The Fool then meets The High Priestess , who is more reserved. From the openness of the Magician, we go to the more withdrawn or wary High Priestess, who advises one to intuit your own knowledge, balanced by outside knowledge. She can be a bit black and white at times, but tries to find fairness and balance of knowledge. The Empress is a formidable figure, who shows the Fool what growing up into Femme power can really look like. The Empress takes no shit, but rules with love. The Emperor is intimidating too, with a hard-set face and a colder demeanor. From the Emperor the Fool learns how to set hard boundaries, to be cold or cl

Personal Card: The Lovers

My birth card: The Lovers Unity between heart and mind professional goals and personal dreams - find the balance this life path i am on is about healing my relationships to family, to self, friends, lovers need to work on making heart-centered choices  how do i trust myself to do the right things? Free write about what I want to do with this course: I'm interested in deepening my practice in tarot - to move from still relying on other guides to trusting myself and my own interpretations. I don't think that tarot can predict the future- it is a useful tool for us to check in with ourselves and to make sense of threads or events- to create a narrative that we can use to course-correct or to help begin taking more decisive actions. I think tarot can be a good tool of gathering information by/for yourself, especially at times of crisis or change when things don't feel clear cut or are just plain confusing. It is like astrology in this way, but perhaps works at an even more pers
