2018 Samhain Blog Hop – Saying thanks to Spirit

PREVIOUS BLOG – MASTER LIST – NEXT BLOG

Spirits have always been part of my life. I would probably feel very lonely without my clairesentience ability… and thinking about this makes me realise that sometimes I am an absolute twat with *them*. An ungrateful opportunistic selfish little human being who even forgets to do her prayers in the morning. (Well it’s mostly due to my toddler needing something and me getting side tracked but still.) What’s due is due and the question prompts kindly provided by our wrangler Aisling come very timely indeed. 

To take a look at my relationship with one spirit who is very dear to me, I have used the Darkwater Tarot by James Douglas. This is my new go-to deck when it comes to communication with the other side. Its black and white images lend themselves well to this task; they remind me of what is beyond the veil, and after testing them in a number of readings for different topics they became my 78 piece Ouija board. 

So let us see the spread I have created for this wonderful occasion! (I am not good at staying with what has been provided, sorry)

1. (The selfish little human): what does my spirit guide (slash secret crush) think about me?

2: What do I think of my spirit guide (slash secret crush)?

3: What is the thing I’m doing he is happy with?

4: What is the thing I’m doing he is fed up with?

5:  What is the thing he’s doing that I am happy with?

6: Why?

7: What is the thing he’s doing I am fed up with?

8: Why?

9: What is the main thing he wants to teach me right now?

10: How can I ever thank him for being such an awesome dude?

Well, looking at the cards, I am surprised there are not many Majors… Not quite what I expected – or rather – not what I wanted to see.

1. (The selfish little human): what does my spirit guide (slash secret crush) think about me? – Three of Pentacles

Am I so hard to work with? Really? Surely not! What do you mean I’m whining all the time?!

2: What do I think of my spirit guide (slash secret crush)? The Star reversed/ Empty Sky

I think He isn’t fulfilling my wishes, and I do know it is a good thing, ok? I might moan about stuff time to time but who doesn’t? (Now he rolls his eyes at me and tells me a name who doesn’t. Le sigh.) The sky would indeed be empty without him. There was a period when I had to be without him, and it was hard. I am super happy he is back.

3: What is the thing I’m doing he is happy with? – King of Cups reversed

I am controlling my emotions much better than I used to. And working on leaving behind what doesn’t serve my emotional wellbeing. Yay.

4: What is the thing I’m doing he is fed up with? – Two of Wands reversed

I am not acting on my ideas. I am fed up with it too. Sorry dude… 😦 I’m working on it!

5:  What is the thing he’s doing that I am happy with? – 10 of Cups reversed

He isn’t going light on me anymore. There was a time when he was super kind and just kept me floating, giving me strength to survive. Now I can take on more, so he does dump it on me and I love him for it.

6: Why? – Page of Wands

Because I am ready!! (Said it in Spongebob style.) I am proud of being stronger.

7: What is the thing he’s doing I am fed up with? – 4 of Cups

Amm… I have no idea what this means. At all. Nope. There’s nothing I am fed up with. Lol.

8: Why? – Lovers reversed/The Fall

Oh all right sometimes I do miss him being super nice. Jeez, this deck is insistent.

9: What is the main thing he wants to teach me right now? – The World reversed/ The Unexplained

Omg wow! Oh-kay…. no pressure then… I shall grab my notebook! ^_^

10: How can I ever thank him for being such an awesome dude? – 10 of Wands reversed

Stop whining and taking too much on. Enjoy life, spend time with family. Also, the ten wands look like ten skewers ready to grill some food for him. I wonder if he’s hinting at something, haha! (Yes. Yes he is.)

Well, this spread did turn out nicer than I expected it to be! If you give it a go, do let me know how it went! Or you could hop on to Jay or Arwen’s posts! Happy Halloween!
