Spiritual Path Reading

In late July, I did a reading on the results of pursuing a spiritual path at this time. The spread is from the book Modern Magick by Donald Michael Kraig, and he advises that the spread be used prior to initiating any major event in one's life; he even suggests the format the question should take. This spread uses only Major Arcana cards. For this post, I'll provide an image of the spread, but I'm going to do something different with the reading itself. Instead of going through each card individually, I'm going to try to make the reading into a story, as I've seen suggested by a number of sources, including Biddy Tarot. So, here goes:


Modern Magick Spread


My question: What will be the result if I choose to learn Magick now?

Date: 22 July 2020

Day: Wednesday

Time: ~04:40


Reading:

My first thought was, "Wow, there's a lot of reversed cards here." But I kept an open mind and didn't immediately decide that they were all telling me it was a bad time for this. Using a combination of my own intuition and Biddy Tarot for inspiration, I proceeded with the reading.

Overall, things look good. Despite the spiritual influences that are involved here, including my habitual conceit for faith paths that don't work for me which then induces me to decide I don't need one, it seems to be a good time for me to look into my spirituality. I can't let my fear of falling headlong into things and losing myself, as I did during my first experience with Catholicism, hold me back this time. The time is right for this. 

While, inwardly, I do want something good to come of this, it is not the time to seek out a Teacher. I need to focus on learning on my own, then seek a guide. Or, rather, an Advisor. Not someone to hand me lessons to do, but someone to suggest things that may benefit me without being dogmatic or zealotous about it. But right now is not the time for more than that. I need to learn what I can from books and the internet and other researches I do on my own. This is a time for independent study.

XXI - The World in the position of the Final Outcome is quite auspicious here. I think it's a pretty strong indication that this is an excellent time for pursuing these studies.

Tarot Deck Review: The Vindur Deck

Image
WHERE PURCHASED: I backed this deck on Kickstarter in early 2019 CONTRIBUTER(S): Leah Pantéa, creator and artist PUBLISHED BY: Self-published AVAILABILITY: At thevindurdeck.com with a preorder button; at illustrationxleah.com with a buy button ABOUT THE DECK: Ms. Pantéa took the Icelandic word for "wind", vindur, and applied it to her conception of what this tarot deck should be. The Fool of the Major Arcana is a gender-neutral individual who encounters various teachers who give them different lessons on their way through the rest of the Major Arcana, a journey that is told as a tale one card at a time. All of this is mirrored in the Minor Arcana, where each Element makes a journey through each card, with notes on how the cards are defined. GUIDEBOOK: The guide booklet isn't as large as I was expecting it to be, given the image provided on the Kickstarter page, but it is a bit larger and sturdier than standard booklets. Ms. Pantéa writes a little introducti...

More than Serendipity

 Honestly, I forgot about this blog for a little while. I've been dealing with an upset sleep schedule, setting up an Etsy store, and trying to get tasks done on a daily basis (which hasn't been going very well due to the upset sleep schedule). That's all distracted me from my examination of my place in the spirituality spectrum. Except for continuing to read Modern Magick by Donald Michael Kraig. When I am able to get tasks done, this is one of those I look forward to doing. I'm learning a lot, even though I'm just doing a preliminary read through before I start over again for in-depth study.  One of the things I've noticed is that the book has a knack for providing information or saying just what I need to read just when I'm beginning to doubt things. Every single time this has happened, it has renewed my enthusiasm for the reading and learning of this occult skill. That, more than anything, tells me I'm onto something with this spiritual path. I hone...
