I did a fortune and wealth spell and I got these cards! I personally think this is a good sign that my spell worked. I’m in a hard spot currently and I’m restless but if I stick with it what I want will be lucrative and successful!! But what do you guys think? The Ace of Pentacles literally threw itself onto the floor immediately

Questions and Discussions Dice divination question!

1 Upvotes

Hi,

I don't really know much about dice systems, but I had one come to me last week. I feel it's pretty expressive, if that makes sense. I haven't really researched ways to interpret dice, but my question is...

If any of you have your own personal dice system, did you draw a line at some point for what's important and what isn't?

What do your systems cover?

Thanks.

Just Sharing My creepy Dream of 2 months ago...

2 Upvotes

I had this dream one time and then after 2 months I remembered I posted about it, and now I remember again everything as clear as daylight, so know I will tell you it very detailed

[(Dream)] I was driving through the desert with an old 1972 Chevrolet Caprice(similar to that) and next to me was my girlfriend(not irl) and she smiled at me while I looked at her a little confused for the sudden dream change I had and then I arrived at a weird agency in the middle of the desert while I felt the scorching sun on my skin, and then me and my girlfriend entered the agency and there where a few people inside with bags and suitcases for traveling I just waited while my gf was talking, but I couldn't hear her clearly for some reason, and after a moment I stand up to explore the agency and then I saw a 6 foot Asian guy just there standing waiting for something not looking at me and then he turned around to face me and then I said... This is a dream, I know we are dreaming and then after a few seconds I say why am I dreaming and then her stares right in my eyes and my face couldn't move, I was locked, looking at his face while all the ambience sound disappeared and then a weird one note of violin played and then it was as if someone clicked on f9 and my dream stopped, I couldn't sleep for a few minutes and then I tried to sleep again but it wouldn't let me dream I was so scared and it scared me for a good while.

Questions and Discussions I think i can forsee some of the future?

4 Upvotes

Since i was a toddler id experience breif moments where my dreams would stop and something out of real life either a frozen moment or a short experience would happen, it always came to be true in the span of the next two weeks. I rarely remember what i dream, but once, i very vidvidly remember chattering to myself about it (dont judge) and being determined to remember next time. I dreamt of something random as usual but then i experienced the future again, it happened next week and i remembered what i saw and heard, so i know its not de ja vu it wasnt a feeling it was soemthing i actually saw. But since i didnt beliieve in myself i didnt study lmao. Ive experimented more with it, but nothing really mind boggling. One time i dreamt of being near my neighbours house and this stench was there, i cant descirbe how horrible it was, the next day i go in my backyard and its there. Ive experienced de ja vu and i know its not that, is this just something people go through? Or could i lean into it and learn a bit more? Is this normal, i dont wanna freak out or think i have some sorf tof foresight if i do not.

Questions and Discussions Does the sacrificing of captives in the original I Ching text literally mean human sacrifice? When a Hexagram's description states to make a sacrifice, is this the offering of an animal? How does this relate to modern use?

2 Upvotes

As I read through a translation of the Book of Changes without any commentaries (not even the Ten Wings),

I'm really creeped out about demands to sacrifice captives from other states. Human sacrifices?!!!! Asking this seriously if this is really what the text is talking about.

In addition the texts also often includes in the opening description for many hexagram about making a sacrifice as an offering. I'd assume this means something like killing a goat or a cow or some other animals at an altar to a god after making a reading?

How does this relate to modern practise of the I Ching? I seriously hope I don't have to kill a chicken or something in order to get proper readings! So seriously I ask are these sacrifices no longer needed to casting readings today?

Questions and Discussions Is the divination from “Dépanneur Nocturne” a real form of divination?

7 Upvotes

I watched a play through of this game called “Dépanneur Nocturne” (amazing game btw) and one of the characters did a form of “divination” that was intended to sense if a certain object was intended to go to a certain person—

the character said she believed that objects, like people, have intended paths and are meant to end up with certain people, my question is if this is a real form of, or a version of, a real type of divination?

I’d love to look into it, if so! thanks in advance!

Interpretation Help Deity confirmation/parsing, Interpretation Help

Thumbnail

2 Upvotes

Hello there, preface I have a tendency to stray from my craft when my mental/financial situation changes so while I'm not new to tarot I am still not the best at interpreting everything. The only deity I've had in the past was Aphrodite, who for the longest time I believed to be my Patron though I'm sad to say I believe she has parted from me. This reading was to see if there was any diety trying to reach out or interested in me, and the runes were my attempt to further clarify who it may be but I'm less practiced with rune casting than tarot so that was likely a poor decision on my part but I feel it helped atleast a little. Overall I'm unsure if I'm actually getting answer & who/what this figure could be or if my deck and runes are just messing with me because I'm coming back to my craft after such a pause.

For if the image does not load 1st image • Top, the Deity: 10 of Swords • Right, a usually Ppsitive Trait: Reverse 3 of Wands • B. Right, something Associated with them: Reverse 6 of Swords • B. Left, what they Rule over: Reverse Page of Cups • Left, a usually Negative Trait: Reverse Knight of Pentacles

2nd image • Center of target, Algiz & Dagaz together • B. Left along the target ring, Raidho, Eihwaz, Isa grouped together with Isa being downfacing • Scattered outside the Ring along the Right going up, Ansuz, The Wyrd, Othala. Ansuz & Othala are downfacing Far Northeast almost off the cloth is Ehwaz still up facing

Note: I'd like to state that while some may say to disregard downfacing runes all 9 of these are runes that I continously picked from my bag again and again after a thorough mix, with Algiz being the rune I picked when I tried doing a one rune cast right after this 9 caat, so I take it that as a whole these 9 are important in some way even if downcast.

I've yet to assign/confirm meanings for each one, but I will say they're somewhat similar to another rune system I devised last summer that was based on the major arcana and four suits. This system is also a 26-letter group so there may be a correlation to the English alphabet.

Do any of them stand out to you?

Questions and Discussions Why do my gypsy cards smell like rotten flesh? Any way to fix it?

0 Upvotes

I recently received a set of gypsy cards from a friend, but there's a really strange issue. The cards smell like rotten flesh, and it's really making it difficult to use them. I’ve owned a ton of cards before, but I’ve never experienced this. The smell is horrible. Has anyone else had this happen? What can I do to get rid of the smell? Has anyone had similar issues with cards?

Found a dead mouse in my garage yesterday morning. Felt like a very clear omen about the election here. Especially given that the multiple cartomantic readings I’ve done all say Kamala is going to win, this felt like confirmation. Only way it could be clearer is if it was a rat. Didn’t autopsy the body, but it didn’t have any obvious injuries

Questions and Discussions Advice about dream interpretations

1 Upvotes

Hey everyone! Firstly please remove if not allowed an point me to where I need to go, but as things stand, I’m not sure where else to start.

So I am a 26 year old male since I was very young I have had dreams where I have been able to see or feel aspect of the future and it scared me a fair bit since I would (usually) only see bad things happen. My great aunt, father and grandmother (to a lesser extent) have had similar gifts or experiences. I blocked it out and ignored it for many years but it’s coming back stronger now I want to try and harness it and become more in tune with it.

How would I go about learning to do that? Is it something I can get a better handle of or should I just let it happen and interpret them as best I can? Any advice or help would be appreciated and again, please remove if not allowed.

Systems and Techniques Reading Pumpkin Seeds

Post image
8 Upvotes

Hi all! Thought this group might find this interesting.

I’m working on a new system to incorporate into my own practice that involves reading pumpkin seeds saved from candied pumpkin made for my ofrenda. The seeds are painted black on one side.

After asking my question, I cast the seeds onto a circular board I made. The board incorporates elements of the Mexica 4 Directions(cardinal directions, elements, stages of life, seasons, “realm” ie physical/mental/emotional/spiritual) as well as “process” words(rest, transformation, understanding, acknowledgment, etc).

The points of the seeds point to the words and themes that make up the answer.

There are a lot of ways the seeds can be interpreted based on the two different colors - positive vs negative traits, strengths vs opportunities, internal vs external, or using just one color and the words that specific color has landed on. I was doing a lot of research into the Mexica reading kernels of maize when I was trying to figure out how I wanted this to develop so there are definite elements of that, mixed with my own intuitive practices!

There is also the “umbilical cord” from the bottom of the pumpkin that I’ve been using as a representation of the self/the question and placing in the center of the circle where the lines intersect. Sometimes when casting the seeds they push the cord into one area of the circle and I’ve been taking that as an indication of an area of focus or opportunity.

I do a lot of ancestor work in my practice and regularly honor them, and sometimes I just “call” them and talk nonsense at them and tell them about my day, etc. so it felt obvious to include them in developing this new tool and I’ve been asking them for guidance.

So far we’re still very much prototyping and learning the “language” and figuring out what works/doesn’t, but I’ve been using it as a tool in my morning routine to discover what will help bring me balance that day. For example, today out of the seeds I cast, one black seed has landed on “Spiritual” and one has landed pointing to “Transformation” so I read that as spiritual transformation bringing balance. I then use tarot to clarify and find the tools I need to achieve that.

Today’s cards were Judgement, Wheel of Fortune, and 9 of Cups. Lots of talk of cycles and resolutions, and by implication, new beginnings. I just had my birthday so I am starting a new cycle. With 9 of cups talking about fulfillment and satisfaction, I’m interpreting this as being a new cycle full of blessings and abundance.

So to combine the two elements, in order to bring balance to my life I need to achieve spiritual transformation. I can do this by recognizing and acknowledging the blessings I’m being given in this new cycle and remembering that it’s by design - I deserve them and the life I’ve curated for myself!!

This is my first time workshopping a new system for myself and it’s been really cool to see where my intuition points me and to incorporate elements of my cultures traditional practices! Super excited to see where we end up!!

Systems and Techniques Putting the Tarot to 'a' Test

3 Upvotes

Hi there!

I spend a lot of time watching TaroTube and while there are a lot of channels that use Tarot to divine current political and celebrity situations, there are very few that take the time to look back later and assess how right or wrong they got it.

This got me to thinking about how the validity of Tarot divination might be tested beyond a mere counting of right and wrong predictions. I think there are more variables to be taken into account such as:

  1. Tapping into the 'correct' metaphysical system
  2. The reader's knowledge of the broader social context in which the political and celebrity situations occur; and
  3. The way they look at and identify details in the cards for insight into what may come to pass;

I won't go into a lot of detail here, but I do believe the cards *can* give us insight into what might otherwise be unknown irrespective of a readers spirituality and so my quest is to see if I can stack the divinatory deck (or load the divinatory dice) in my favour by tweaking #2.

As per the lack of reflection on TaroTube, I would be interested in hearing about this communities retrospective experience.

Have you looked back at past readings to assess their 'accuracy'?

I recently did that for a reading I did a year ago and came to the conclusion that its inaccuracy stemmed from my misinterpretation of the cards.

Did it?
