My Inner Fire

Deck used is the Crow Tarot by MJ Cullinane

Sometimes, we need a spark in life to get things going. Perhaps work tasks are calling and you need the deadlines to get the fire lit under your feet. Sometimes, it’s in a creative endeavor and you need the inspiration to get going. Maybe you’re coming back from being in a situation that you find yourself being hurt by and you need to spend some time recovering your emotional, mental or physical strength. Whatever this situation looks like for you, hopefully this reading resonates with you. Lets see what the cards have to say shall we?

The Cards

from the Crow Tarot by MJ Cullinane

7 of swords: deception, something has been taken by someone, was that person you? Consider your motivations and check them if you’re seeking to be deceptive. Consider those around you and whether they have your best interests at heart.

9 of swords: This represents the power of worry and regret. What thoughts are keeping us up at night? Why are we hurting ourselves so badly when it serves us no good to hold onto such bad thoughts? If there is something we can do about the situation we find ourselves in, good. If not, then we must work to release the worries as hard as that may seem.

King of cups: someone who is driven by emotion, art and relationships. This person has blended experience, perspective and the emotions at their core to come to their views on life and they are jovial, though they’d rather sit back and watch their loved ones take part in their celebrations rather than actively participate.

10 of swords: this is a call to surrender to unpleasant or unfortunate circumstances. While the end of this sad experience is near, we are now seeing the devastation and destruction we have come through. Are you the person suffering, or have you been the one to cause it for someone else.

Page of Wands: Someone who is read to try something new based on will, inspiration or passion. Give this person some time to come into their own. Perhaps they need a bit of mentoring to get out of their shell.

One thing that I think might be of a huge benefit to me is to recognize where there is deception around me. I’m a trusting person by nature, but keeping the eye out for when it happens will serve me so the pain of knowing that other people don’t truly have my best interest at heart is lessened. I also need to keep in mind that I am capable (sadly) of doing this to others. This is bad energy to have around me because not only will it hurt the person I’m aiming it to, but it will come back around and hurt me many times over. Another thing I need to work on is when I’m in a state of worry and regret. Things will happen that are beyond my control and I don’t have all the answers. I have two options here; I can either spend my time stressing over how bad things are for me, or I can sit back and work to release things when I can’t actively fix the situation causing me the stress.

There will also be risks that need taking for me down the line and the way I need to take these risks is by reconnecting with my emotional and creative life. Here I drew the King of Cups and one thing gathered from this is that one general characteristic of this card is that they tend to feel so much more than they let on. Reconnecting and making the effort to sit in my emotions for a bit (not for too long of course) will help me because I’ll be able to see where I’ve suffered and come through a hard situation. Perhaps there are going to be moments where taking stock of my behavior and owning up to my mistreatment, but ultimately, the reward here will be that there is an end to suffering and my eyes will be open. The reward of all of this is that I’ll be ready to try something new in life that I normally wouldn’t have thought to do, but I may need some time to come into my own on this front. The learning curve with whatever this new thing is will be steep but it’s not totally impossible.
