Blessed Beltane from the hawthorn and me!
Starting May 15th, I will be hosting a FREE 2-week long group coaching session for tarot. This is to help build a daily habit of reading tarot, a space to ask questions, share knowledge, and get to know others in The Oracle Portal community. You can join the Discord here.
I love tarot. I love what it has given me, what it has allowed me to do. Honestly, I have healed more through tarot physically and emotionally than through therapy. I am not saying don’t go to therapy. Do the work you are called to do. I am just so grateful that tarot has been here for me when therapy wasn’t accessible. It has opened so many doors for me, and it has widely expanded my world view. I
Without further ado, here is the collective reading using my Beltane Spread. (Photo below question 2.) If you would like a reading with me, you can sign up over on Ko-Fi.
1. What is blooming in the collective?
Six of Emotions (Cups)
Nostalgia is blooming, a yearning for simpler times, of times that felt more secure and safe. Some of us have never fully experienced safety, but many of us have experienced more stability than what is currently being offered currently in the world. Consider leaning on the things that do help you feel safe and comfortable: comfort meals, comfort shows, getting outside/moving your body, getting lost in your favorite reads, making art, and if you’re someone who feels safest when doing direct action: organize within your community!
2. What inspires us to grow?
Nine of Emotions (Cups)
Again, safety. We want to feel safe and secure, like we actually have a chance at our dreams and goals. We want to feel as though our ducks are in a row, not flying away with one or more being pigeons not ducks. If you’re struggling to feel inspiration, ground into the list above. Begin creating your own sense of safety: safe people, safe clothes, safe foods, safe media. Grocery shop in a way that feels good and fulfilling. Create art that leaves you feeling good, but that also has allowed you to release some energy and feelings. Avoid stagnancy. Fear is what they want. They want fear to immobilize us. Fear is natural, but use it to move, not stagnate. If you’re feeling really, stuck, start a gratitude list. Gratitude begets creativity.
3. How can we protect what we are growing/building?
Six of Voices (Swords)
Ditch the naysayers. Truly, ditch them. You don’t need that in your life. We can accept constructive criticism, but we aren’t accepting criticism that has no actionable steps for improvement. Leave that energy, those people, that mindset behind. If you are the naysayer, break up with your inner critic, your inner bully. If you wouldn’t say that to someone you love, don’t say it to you.
4. How can we embrace the sensuality of the season?
Knight of Materials (Pentacles)
Live that embodied life. Taurus Season isn’t the season for living in our heads. Its’ the season to experience the sun on our faces, the wind in our hair, and the feelings we have. Enjoy the good food, the fresh produce, the outdoors. Allow yourself to be taken away by the words of your favorite authors, poets, and singers: feel them throughout your body as you take in each sound and syllable. Move with intention, with the knowledge that to experience joy is to experience embodiment.
5. A message from the Beltane Sun
Four of Voices (Swords)
Let your mind rest. You have been working overtime trying to navigate this fascist regime. It is ok to take time each day to rest, relax, reset. Don’t overburden your system. We need you. We need each other.
I don’t do a lot of collective readings, but this one felt very timely and apt. It’s my first time using The Muse Tarot. I really like it, a lot more than I thought. I found it at Goodwill a few weeks back. This first reading felt good and accurate. The words came flowing you.
How did these messages resonate for you? Let me know below!
Wishing you well this weekend! May your life offer what you need in this moment.
With love,
