After the juggling event, I stopped at my local mystic store and got a one card reading. Being very much in the moment i overlooked taking a picture of the card but it was the queen of wands. My reader advised that I be alert for opportunities this week and when i get one, to act on it quickly. To " strike while the iron was hot as it were" I will be on the look out this week for such an opportunity. I thought it was interesting because i had just gotten seeds and soil together to grow sunflowers this year, and there is a local black cat that wanders through my yard regularly. #sundayselfie

Tarot and Torah - connected or what? I get curious about things in the cards all the time, and had been noticing the large quantity of Jewish symbols and letters used, which made we wonder how they were connected. So I went to google and found a jewish blog about herbs, candles healing and Tarot cards. I found a very well written article by someone from that community and have linked it below with Rachael's permission. The main idea is that it was non jewish people who were fascinated with Jewish mysticism creating the tarot artwork and so they included Jewish letters etc. It didnt start with a Jewish tradition but as things often do, new stories have been created about how Tarot was created for teaching the Torah secretly. According to the article that's just not beenn able to be established as true Soooo.... if you have been curious, there is more you can read and I found this article that discusses the matter useful.( they do cover origins of tarot, and they cover those unique cards like the high priestess, wheel of fortune 10 of pentacles and more ) https://jewitches.com/blogs/blog/the-jewish-history-of-tarot?srsltid=AfmBOornTDy-3zbE8oyPuDkuAwXXSslsXWQMLuRdrg885Oyk811MrREG

I just wanted to drop in a few of my intentions for the week! Feel free to add yours as comments!! 1) I intend to do 30 minutes of yoga every day this week! 2) I intend to meet my step goal every day this week! 3) I intend to get my schoolwork submitted by THURSDAY this week!! 4) I intend to make good decisions when it comes to what goes in my body this week! 5) I intend to stay positive in my thoughts and actions this week!

How long do you prep to read for yourself or others? Do you take a spiritual bath, smudge etc.? Do you connect with your higher self, guides, or a spirit that is for that person's greater good? How do you know if you are connected? What are ways do you like to prep for a reading?

I previously posted part of this in another group but had a new thought on it today and wanted to share it here. On the Devil card, I noticed his hand like this 🖖🏻 So now, all I can think of with this card is “Live long and prosper” Today, I recalled that Leonard Nimoy had gotten that hand gesture from a service he had seen at an Orthodox Jewish Synagogue as a child. According to Google’s AI overview, this hand gesture is the Priestly Blessing (or Birkat Kohanim in Hebrew) performed by Kohanim (descendants of Temple priests) during Jewish worship. So, is the devil giving a priestly blessing here? What do you think?
