Queen of Cups: Finding My Magic and Dreaming Big
•
I’m having a recurring thought of late that my soul mate is not far away. He’s a sensitive, creative, artistic soul. We will understand each other instinctively, allow each other space to grow individually, and support each other to thrive together. Oh yes, she’s a dreamy one, this Queen of Cups.

Two of Pentacles Reversed: Juggling Dormancy
•
Enjoy the branches, now unburdened of their leaves. The leaves now lying on the bare earth of the garden to break down, to become the compost. The nutrients for the arrival of spring. When seeds can be planted and growth can be anticipated.

The Sweet Satisfaction of the Quick Finish: A Crochet Reflection
•
Well, isn’t that just exactly what I was saying? It’s astounding to me how often the card a day is so pertinent. I wrote my reflections before picking the card, as is my way when I already have thoughts to reflect into my journal. But I can gain further clarity from the book interpretations.

The Knight of Cups, Seasonal Blues, and the Problem with Milk
•
14th of November, and the Knight of Cups rides in. I don’t draw this card often, so I’m studying every detail with fresh eyes. Cups signify community, union, and partnership. He’s more than a mere Knight; he wears the winged helmet of Hermes, the messenger, or perhaps Cupid. He looks intently into his golden…

The Reversed Tower: Finding Resilience in the Midst of Minor Alarms
•
13th of November, and the cards offer a paradoxical image: The Tower, reversed. I admit, my deck maintenance has been lacking since my last full moon cleanse. My usual ritual of ordering the cards, all upright, was abandoned. I simply scooped them up and left them, leading to an interesting side effect: a much…

The Quiet Aching: Loneliness, Solitude, and the Magic of Crochet
•
11.11.25 It’s a very quiet dark morning, not as still as the last couple of days. I can hear wind and rain. I like that. The stillness in the quiet can be a reminder that it’s just me here. All on my lonesome. I always tell myself, I am not lonely. I live alone.…

Eight of Wands: Frantically Going Nowhere
•
Living with Fibromyalgia Second outing for the Eight of Wands this week I note. I haven’t felt at all well for the past week, and I have to remind myself sometimes that I live with fibromyalgia. The pain and discomfort are daily constants, as is the truly crazy sleep I experience. The temperature fluctuations…

Taking a Pause to Practice Gratitude
•
The “Four of Cups” on October 22nd – three goblets on a table, with a fourth being offered from a cloud to a deeply contemplative figure. This figure, lost in thought, seems oblivious to the new opportunity presented. Initially, I perceived a sense of sadness in the figure, but upon deeper reflection, it’s more…

A Page of Swords Day: Finding Action and Mindfulness in the Everyday
•
October 7th: The Page Arrives I had thought I’d draw one of the fours today, expecting a day of stability or pause, but the cards had other ideas. Instead, I drew the Page of Swords. The figure stands right on the edge of a cliff, a sword held firmly in two hands—a picture of…
