I am sorry to everyone who tagged me in some tag game and I never responded. I saw it and thought “aww they thought of me” and proceeded to forget about it right after
As it is Passover again, it is time for the annual debate as to whether the frog plague, which thanks to a quirk in the Hebrew, is written as a plague of frog, singular, rather than the plural, plague of frogs, was in fact, as generally imagined, a plague of many frogs, or instead a singular giant Kaiju frog. This is an ancient and venerable argument that actually goes back to the Talmud because this is what the Jewish people are. If we can’t argue for fun about this sort of thing, what are we even doing.
In that spirit, I would like to submit a third possibility, which is that in fact it was one perfectly normal sized frog, who was absolutely acing Untitled Frog Game: Ancient Egypt Edition. One particularly obnoxious frog, who through sheer hard work, managed to plague all of Egypt.
Being into the occult is really hard when you’ve done actual research because 99% of it in any western tradition is “white guy made it up/stole that from a different complicated system of occult philosophy (from a closed or semi closed culture of course) without any key context”
Question: with all due respect, isn't your practice of tarot avodah zara? I mean this not as an attack but as a question: I'm Jewish and I was always taught that divination methods such as tarot or astrology were avodah zara and that we shouldn't use them.
It’s a fair question! I personally don’t consider it to be avodah zarah, at least not the way I practice it. It’s not a form of worship to me, and if I did use it in a religious context it would be for and through HaShem. I also think it’s possible to use tarot in a completely aspiritual way as a reflective tool for sorting out thoughts and I often use it in that manner, especially when reading for others.
Granted, a more traditional/orthodox view would probably still view it as avodah zarah and that’s fine, two jews three opinions and all that. People have different interpretations about where the lines are!
If you’ve been liking the single-card draws I’ve been posting on here and you’re interested in getting a reading from me, friendly reminder that I’m still offering paid readings and am happy to do anything from a single-card draw to something more in-depth! I am currently only able to work part-time due to school and could always use the money so anything helps.
A reading for my love life would be very interesting if you're still doing them, please and thank you 🖤
You got Well!
Wells are familiar, reliable allies. I can see this reading going in two different potential directions. On one hand, it could be saying the situation will continue to be as it is right now, and might stay that way for a while. However, that’s seen as a positive thing! Whether you’re in a relationship, single as a pringle, or somewhere in-between, there is positive growth that can be derived from the situation and it’s good to focus on that. On the other hand, it could also be suggesting there’s a reliable friend in your life who you may want to consider or pay attention to. Somebody that you’ve known for a while, who is a positive addition to your life. Maybe there’s a potential for a relationship there? Take whichever interpretation resonates with you more!
If you're still practicing your readings, I would love to ask about the outcome of my upcoming interview? Will I get the internship? 💚🌿🪲
I hope I’m not answering this too late! I’m going to interpret this less like “Will I get the internship” and more of “How can I best rock this interview in order to get the internship?”
And good lord I got three jumper cards again.
You got Key, Fool, and Fates!
Key represents a situation that can only be solved through specific action. Locks need a specific key, keys work on specific locks. These interviewers are looking for someone with specific qualities that will satisfy the requirements of the position. You can probably guess what some of those qualities are, since they can be pretty intuitive. Things like being engaging, attention to detail, experience in a certain area or a willingness to learn, that sort of thing. Play to those elements and make sure you check those boxes in front of the interviewers. Fool calls for us to trust in the process and take a leap of faith. Don’t be scared of the interviewers or intimidated by them. You want something from them, but they don’t hold any power over you. Ultimately both of you are hoping you’ll be a good match. That said, Fates reminds us that the ultimate decision is out of your control, and there might be factors you can’t help. (For example, there’s a position at my workplace that just requires the person to be free on Fridays even if they’re otherwise the most qualified person in the world.) If it doesn’t work out it doesn’t work out, but the key takeway seems to just to remember why you’re there and not to stress about it too much.
I’d love a reading from the deck of many things! Could I get some clarity on my husband’s job search?
Despite shuffling I drew the same card two readings in a row lol. You got Priest!
Just like in the last reading, Priest represents a pious person or a situation that requires or rewards piety. Since we’re talking about a job hunt here, unless your husband works for a religious institution or is a clergy member we probably have to interpret piety a little more broadly. Ultimately piety is the utmost dedication to an ideal, so tell your husband to stick with it and come up with a system and attitude towards the hunt that he sticks to. Stick to it religiously, you could say. This dedication will be rewarded.
If you're still needing practice with the Deck of Many Things... I've been feeling stuck creatively. I try to write, to craft, to draw, to design rituals, and my mind just runs into a brick wall and can't move forward with any of it. Any guidance on getting some creative momentum again?
You got Priest!
Priest naturally represents a very pious person, or problems that require and reqard piety. This one honestly seems pretty straightforward to me. I don’t know your religious affiliations, but if you work with any deities you might find some inspiration doing devotional art, drawing (maybe literally lol) from their mythos, that sort of thing. Ask a deity you work with for an assignment, then complete that assignment. If you don’t work with any deities, you might still find inspiration from the stories and myths related to them even if you’re not approaching it from a devotional perspective! But find a way to use that kind of subject matter and see what happens.
Hey, I would like to have a freed reading with the D&D cards, please! What is the outcome of the cord cutting I recently did?
This was an interesting one. You got Door!
Door presents “an opportunity to deal with a situation differently than you have in the past.” Doors in D&D in particular are kind of notorious because there are a million different ways to open a door, solving puzzles, dispelling magic, disarming traps, or just opening it like normal. That said, since it’s a cord cutting this doesn’t sound like a door you’re particularly interested in opening. That said, when speaking about a person, Door can also signify somebody trying to make amends for their past misdeeds or adopt a better way of life. There may be an opportunity for the subject of this spell to reform and change their ways. Of course that doesn’t mean you have to forgive them or be involved in that process. If you choose to though, the door is yours to open. Sounds like your ritual is only as permanent as you choose to make it. If you decide to rekindle any sort of connection with this person, just make sure you’re not falling into old cycles and are doing something new.
