After approx 10 years reading tarot, I finally got myself the Giant Rider Waite Smith deck off Vinted! Was a bargain, and from what I can tell, it hasn't been used. I get the hype, I love it. Also, the spirit of each card feels so much stronger โจ๏ธ #tarot

Also, hot take: If you're against baneful magic, you're unaware of your privilege. Magic has been used to resist oppressors for a long time. You don't have to do it, but don't turn your nose up at people who do

Try and get your blood pumping if excersize is accessible for you, or do some housework, something to move the body and occupy the mind ๐
Hope you feel better soon
In the foreground are two books resting on my lap: The Psychic Art of Tarot by Mat Auryn, and Follow Me To Ground by Sue Rainsford. In the background, there is a tv with Zelda on the screen, resting on a plastic box.
Woke up with what feels like the start of a cold, so I'm hunkered down with Zelda and books ๐

It would also be good if people thought even harder before posting anything that starts with "rumors are flying that" but we all know that's not going to happen.
That's great advice, thank you! I offer Santa Muerte water and chocolate every day, but since I'm asking for her help during this novena, my thinking was she might like an extra treat for her efforts

Would you give extra offerings during the days on which you're praying the novena? #santamuerte #folkcatholicism
