16. What new tradition shall I create?
the way out & when care boughs the spirits and the mind plaintive and petulant is searching for ease, march towards the quietest solitudes, not whining for a listener, not waiting for an invitation to sing, until the original care enters the thorax of time falling silent

My new tradition could be a regular appointment with silence; with tea, music, reading, a solitary walk, or just listening to whatever has surfaced without demanding that it resolve itself.

The advice would be to create a ritual of returning to oneself before seeking answers elsewhere. Let solitude become a place of restoration, not isolation, a space where the mind can quieten enough for the deeper truth to speak.

The light I feel I've been hiding is my capacity to create a sense of belonging for myself.

4 of Cups says I probably minimise what comes naturally to me, mistaking emotional reserve for having little to offer.

The 4 of Wands reveals a gift for creating a space of sanctuary.

The Star asks that I stop treating my own light as something that must remain distant or understated.

Humility is often a convenient disguise for the fear of being seen. My personal reminder is that is my light isn't arrogance, it is something I am allowed to share.

16. Believe/Know
6 of Swords/4 of Cups

I believe I must always keep moving towards calmer waters, and leaving behind what no longer serves me. But, of course, distance alone doesn't guarantee transformation.

I know I can arrive somewhere quieter and still remain emotionally disengaged. After all, the real journey is not away from the past, but towards a willingness to participate in the present.

15. What lives in my darkness that deserves witness,not correction?
6 of Swords, The Lovers, 5 of Wands

The darkness holds the struggle between who I’ve been and who I am becoming.

The 6 of Swords speaks to the parts of me still carrying old wounds across uncertain waters.

The Lovers wants me to look at the contradictions within myself, all the competing desires, difficult choices, and those truths that don’t always coexist peacefully.

5 of Wands reminds me that inner conflict is normal, and it’s this friction through which growth occurs.

What deserves witness is the part of me that struggles to reconcile everything it contains. Not every conflict needs correction, some just need room to speak.

Challenge/Adapt
Knight of Swords/The World

Challenge what demands your attention without letting urgency become recklessness. Question the impulse to charge ahead simply because you can see a problem to solve.

Adaptation comes through integration, that is, understanding what the experience has taught you and responding from a more complete perspective.

Know when to act decisively, and when to stop fighting a battle you have already outgrown.

15. What tradition have I outgrown?
The Star, Stability, Death

Stability practically jumped out at me, so I'm adding weight to that card. Tough question to answer actually once I started thinking about it.

I don't know about you, but when I was young, everything felt stable, like nothing would change, we were invincible, our families would stay together, friends would always be there for us, and so on. Alas...... 😬🙈

So I'm going with the youthful tradition of mistaking stability for permanence, or hope for a reason to keep things as they are.

The Star reminds me that hope is not always about preserving what exists, sometimes it is faith in what comes after.

Stability asks what we cling to for security, even when it no longer nourishes us.

Death delivers the final verdict, a tradition can be honoured for what it once provided without being carried into the future.

Not everything that once sustained us is meant to stay, and that's ok. Change nourishes our future.

14. What is unique about me?
Ace of Swords, Think about how many small things have been the most meaningful, Page of Wands

I think my uniqueness lies in seeing the extraordinary within the ordinary, which I don't think is wholly unique to be honest, I think a lot of creative people do this.

I also have the sort of overthinking curiosity to ponder why it matters making a point of finding the whimsical and joy in the everyday.

And I've come to the open-ended conclusion that having a sense of whimsy helps shatter the monotony of daily routines, reduces chronic stress, and actively rewires our brain's for creativity. It matters because it transforms life from a series of tasks to be completed into an experience to be enjoyed.

14. What does release actually ask of me?

2 of Wands, 5 of Coins, 3 of Swords

The 2 of Wands asks you to choose a future beyond the familiar. 5 of Coins says release the belief that loss means you are abandoned, diminished, or somehow lacking, and the 3 of Swords is a reminder to let your pain be felt rather than allowing it to dictate what comes next.

Release won't ask you to pretend it didn't matter, rather reminding you to stop making a home out of the wound.

New decks 👏👏

Tarot of Satan, Sin of Satan, 1c Mystic Seer oracle

By Travis McHenry @bloodstone.tarot

So amazing, same excellent quality as the Lilith and Baphomet decks. The colours in the main deck are vibrant, and I love the subdued silver of the Sin deck.

Very much looking forward to using these a lot more over the coming weeks 🥰 by @beljones77

What does freedom cost me, and am I willing to pay it?
King of Swords, Queen of Pentacles, Hanged Man

Freedom costs me the comfort of certainty, the security of what I’ve built, and the willingness to surrender control.

Am I willing to pay it? Perhaps freedom isn’t about losing everything, but relinquishing what keeps me bound. The question is whether I can stop mistaking security for liberation.

13. What role would I have an a horror movie?
The Tower

I'm the character who discovers the secret passage, goes down to the basement, pulls the wrong book from the shelf, and/or accidentally exposes the horror that’s been lurking beneath everyone’s feet. You're welcome guys! 😂

Maybe I would survive, but not before the house comes down around us all. I could be the one who breaks the curse or the reason it was unleashed in the first place. Probably both... 😬🤭
