growing-yet-into-magic: the-surreptitious-solitary: numinous-af: fucking-numinous: decklove: tarot-sybarite: Rahdue’s Wheel, a 78-card spread. Holy poot…. *heavy breathing* @haemoferedoll I GUESS WE GOTTA Alright children, gather round. If you were wondering what this would be like, wonder no more. Since my best friend and I have a great deal of magickal motivation and are clearly insane, WE COMPLETED THIS READING. It was roughly 5 hours of direct cardwork and reading, but we took breaks for food and rest, so the total time spent, between taking the cards out of the box and putting them back in, was about 9 HOURS. (Photo ft. bad lighting and my unbrushed hair.) I had the privilege of choosing the cards, setting them up, and giving the reading for my much-beloved @haemoferedoll, who was a very patient and open querent. By the end of the reading, we were decidedly exhausted. My eyes were blurry, my head was swimming, my brain seemed to have deteriorated into rude, viscous mush, and my throat felt raw and sore from having talked so much. Even my joints were achy. I was basically an old crone by the end of it. But, oh, let me learn you a thing. THIS SHIT WAS E N L I G H T E N I N G. The cards spelled out a clear story, with significant life lessons, warnings, and even illuminating information about past lives. I’ve honestly never had a reading with such clear and definitive messages. It was like the veil just parted to let the universe throw us some handy-dandy-4-1-1. For real, the cards were super specific and helpful. Actually, after we were done, I was told that the reading was “more helpful than years of therapy.”~. Potential hyperbole aside, I think the reading really did assist real and significant progress for my friend, which I’m wicked pumped about. IF YOU WANT TO DO THIS READING YOURSELF, I say to fuckin’ go for it. It was a great experience as a diviner, an awesome chance to practice, and very affirming of my ability, and @haemoferedoll found it really helpful. However, PLEASE read all of the detailed information on the spread and how it works BEFORE you start the reading. If you don’t, you’re gonna have a hell of a bad time. Also, be aware that a significant portion of the reading revolves around past lives. If that doesn’t align with your personal beliefs, I would suggest you either skip those parts of the reading, or replace them with specific questions of your own. ALSO. I’m pretty sure this reading doesn’t NEED to last so long. I was extremely thorough, and I’m very picky with choosing cards, so just the process of setting up took almost an hour. I also personally went into a lot detail with helping my friend interpret the cards and their story. If you simply do a quick overview, I bet the reading would be way faster and much less of an ordeal. For me though, the “ordeal” of it made it an experience. It was absolutely worth the effort for what I got out of it. TL;DR: We did the thing. We liked the thing. The thing was exhausting. If you do the thing yourself, do the thing your own way and be smart about it. AND LOOK HOW PRETTY IT IS! #fuckyeahdivination Instructions for the reading are found through the OP’s link, where she also provides information on the book this is sourced from. Doing this spread with the circle at 2am awoke wild things in me. I barely even remember it anymore, but the weight of it… -- source link
