The King Of Cups and The Two Of Cups

 Good Morning Witches!

It is Tuesday, October 3, 2023 and I wanted to begin this mornings blog with a thought on The Season of the Witch and then get into a mindful intuitive tarot reading. I want to pose the question to all the Witches out there. Does your mindset and your calling feel stronger at this time of year, or is the same? Please leave a comment below or if you want to anonymously answer you can email me at: thewitchnextdoor1@gmail.com and we can chat about it.

Now onto Tarot.

Let me preface this by saying The Rider Waite Tarot Deck is one of my most favorite decks. The Radiant Rider Waite Tarot Deck is amazing. The colors on it are simply beautiful and if you are an intuitive reader such as myself, you will see the imagery just pops out at you. 

 Before the reading, I've lite Nag Champa as incense of the day.

Nag Champa is a sacred incense that purifies any environment, energetically transforming your space into a meditation room, naturally clearing out any negative energy and filling it with positive vibrations, and I wanted to start off this reading in both clarity and cleansing the room. I have also used a selenite wand to cleanse the spaces around me.

It was quite interesting to me that I pulled dual cards today.  Both of them fell out of my deck in different placements but fell at the same time. I pulled The King of Cups and The Two of Cups.

The cards remind us, that often times we search for something or someone in our lives to fill up the missing link, or the relationship that doesn't feel fulfilling, or we buy the shiny new toy, or get that new job.  We are feeling unhappy and we naturally think something or someone will take that unhappiness away. And sure it will, but only for a while.  We have all done it, if we are  honest with ourselves, and we are human we know we have done this.  I am not going to make this post about gratefulness, even though of course that is the cornerstone of a happy life, but there are far too many posts out there and content being created on that subject.  I want to go deeper. I want to talk about the forces in our lives, that sometimes lead us to a place of unhappiness and self-destruction.  In all of the world, as humans we want to feel connected, to feel whole, oved and worthy and most of all cared about.  That takes on different meanings to different people.  It coud be that you don't feel appreciated in your job, or is it your friendship, family or your relationship?  Think back now.  How does this make you feel?  Well of course it makes you feel less than you were ever put on earth to feel. You are confused, you are feeling unhappy and you want it all to just stop, right?  Now think back again, further into a time when or even in present day when someone or something that takes all of that emptiness and you feel like the authentic you. The world just fits.  Now in this moment, how much of that still feels new? How much of that new job, or that new person or that new purchase or that new anything is still making you feel that elated? I am sure there will be a small percentage of people that say, "yes, that was all that I needed and now I am complete, I am whole, I am good."  I am channeling for the ones that do not feel like this any longer. That the newness of the new has run it's course and once again you are left with feeling ungrateful and unhappy and most of all not whole.

This is where my reading is taking us. 

So... If you could harness that feeling not so much in another person, or a place or a thing, would you give it a try? because I am here to tell you that it is  not a person, it is not a place, it is not a feeling that comes from any external forces to any degree.

The King of Cups and The Two of Cups signifies human connection. I challenge you to find that human connection within, and to harness all of that gold that you are.  Not that someone or something can bring to you and make you feel, but a time in your mind, in childhood, or teenage years, when you felt like you. Without all of the trappings we use as adults to make us feel good. It is still ALL there inside of you.  You just need to tap into it. 

In the next blog, I will share with you a simple meditation to help you to achieve this.

Please feel free to share this reading!

Until next time Witches, I hope you  have a wonderful day full of magick and whimsy.
