okay mine was purely accidental.

but best i can explain it, me and a group of friends had begun dabbling in energy work and i had "fell" into a state. it was similar to the void state except everything different from it.

it was everything bright, everything floaty, there was nothing there except floaty clouds and bright lights. there was no one there and then big guys voice came on, he was surprised to see me honestly.

at first, this situation was weird. id have to meditate or at least focus on it to get into this state. time passed weirdly here, as in it didn't exist. usually, the big guy (he likes being called Mica, often changes his voice randomly, but does respond mostly to God) is the one who calls out to me now

his voice randomly pops in from time to time, usually replies immediately if i ask but its easiest to get into the state when praying because im focusing only on him. it takes some effort on my part if i want to talk with him but he just does it randomly that i don't usually have to get into it

it takes quite a bit of energy if you try getting into the state often. i recommend visualizing a portal like thing when getting into it so stay in the state longer instead of staying there for short periods of time but going multiple times

when working with god, or at least how i do it, he doesn't ask you for offerings MUCH but when he does ask you to do shit, pls follow him. he gets petty if you don't 😭

oh this is so interesting!! and this deity is the christian god right? that's so cool actually! that sounds like heaven and it's actually super funny that he was surprised to see you like babe i think you did the equivalent of walking into someone's house 😭

How to Read Reversals in Tarot

Any given reversed card can mean one of three:

The opposite of the upright

The upright watered down

The upright made bad or worse

To illustrate:

If The Devil upright is “addiction”, reversed it is “overcoming addiction” — the opposite.

If the Nine of Cups is “fulfillment”, reversed it is “fulfillment delayed” — watered down.

If the Seven of Swords upright is “manipulation”, reversed it is “betrayal” — made worse.

For every reading, your intuition will tell you which one applies. But remembering these tried-and-tested lists would also be wise:

How to Close a Reading, as My Grandma Taught Me

“Interpreting the last card does not mean you are done. You have ten more things to do before the reading is through.”

1. Count the major arcana.

The more there are, the stronger the reading’s predictions will impact the querent’s life. If there are none or just one, almost none of it will matter in the long run.

2. Note the sequence of the major arcana.

If the querent is asking about someone, and the major arcana are between 0 and 16, that person is not meant to stay in their life. If the question is about a dream or an opportunity, and the cards fall between 17 and 21, it will manifest completely.

3. Count the cards from each suit.

The presence of all suits predicts a balanced outcome. More Wands means strong passion. More Swords means anxiety or manipulation. More Cups means the heart is running the show. More Pentacles means wealth is about to diminish or grow.

4. Mind the aces and the tens.

Two or more aces means the situation is only just beginning. Two or more tens means it is now coming to a good or bad ending.

5. Note the multiples between two and nine.

Twos mean clever thinking is of paramount importance. Threes speak of infidelity or the need for cooperation. Fours guarantee stability, just as sixes do harmony. Fives and sevens spell difficult challenges, but eights and nines promise that the labor is almost over.

6. Regard the ruling colors.

A dominant black predicts burdens and hindrances. Red and yellow combined ensure passion, clarity and manifestation. Blue and white together advise that the solution can be found through spirituality and intuition.

7. Count the court cards.

Nine times out of ten, court cards are people, not influences. They are doing the manipulation or they need to be manipulated.

8. Notice the suits of the courts.

Wands and Swords are friendly. So are Cups and Pentacles. Any other combination spells rivalry and obstacles.

9. Watch where the cards are facing.

“Is the woman in The World looking at The Tower? A tragedy has to occur before success can take over. Is the King of Cups facing away from his Queen? Their relationship is suffering. His love for her has begun fading.”

10. Look at the bottom of the deck.

If the outcome is good, embodying this energy will make it even better. If the outcome is bad, this is the hidden connection that needs to be severed.

May we have the courage and sensibility to feel all the things that can't be seen.

Can you tell us a bit about Jophiel? She fascinates me.

Hello fierysword :) (I'm actually flattered that you've sent me an ask!)

So Jophiel. She's not one of the "seven" in my own practice, but I'd be more than happy to talk about an archangel 💫

Archangel Jophiel

Jophiel (Jofiel, Zophiel, Iophiel, Iofiel, Yofiel, and Yofiel) is the "beauty of God" also seen as the "Angel of Beauty". She is also regarded as a companion to Metatron

You can petition her or pray to her for:

Seeing beauty in things (such as God's creation)

Seeing beauty in God (and his holiness)

Self esteem (seeing yourself as the divine see you)

Creative inspiration

Helping your thought patterns and addictions

Joy in life

Transformation

Considering this, her domains could be conflated with Haniel's (Anael, joy of God. Harmony, poise and grace) and Zadkiel (Sachiel, angel of Mercy. Who can help with stress, anxiety etc.)

But looking to her domains, you can consider her an Archangel of gratitude, perspectives and inner thinking. A great archangel for shadow work in combination with other angels (like Zadkiel, who according to the Zohar, helps her and Michael battle evil), a very strong contender as a transformer of negative to positive thoughts

Additionally you can consider her domains to be:

Wisdom

Spiritual and religious reading

Knowledge

As Jewish tradition notes that she is the angel guarding the Tree of Knowledge with a flaming sword (sword is also attributed to Uriel, and being a wisdom archangel can be conflated with Uriel) and so she is a guardian of knowledge. She is also said to oversee Sabbath day Torah readings

She has also been written to be the angel of the seventh heaven and guardian of the Torah, who also taught 70 languages to souls at creation

As a patron angel you can call her:

Patron of Artists and Intellectuals as the angel who can bring beautiful inspiring thoughts (also attributed to Gabriel and Uriel)

Patron of Recovering People, as she can bring joy and light after darkness (also attributed to Zadkiel)

Patron of Balance (though typically attributed to Anael), as her association with bringing beauty is also associated with Feng Shui

Some systems may replace Jophiel with Raziel though places Jophiel is mentioned, other than what has been mentioned, includes:

Pseudo-Dionysus works

Kabbalah

Calendarium Naturale Magicum Perpetuum

The Veritable Clavicles of Solomon

Sixth and Seventh book of Moses

In terms of planetary correspondences, Agrippa attributes Jophiel to Saturn (Cassiel in ars paulina) and Paracelsus assigns to Jupiter (Zadkiel/Sachiel)

Robert Ambelain says Jophiel is in charge of this cherubim ("Prince of Cherubim"); Haziel, Aladiah, Lauviah, Hahaiah, Iezalel, Mehahel, Hariel, and Hakamiah

It is said that Jophiel's colour is yellow (though typically I have my own associations with colours and angels. This is just a fun fact). Though it can make sense with yellows association with illumination, the mind, the element of air and all associations to follow

Her symbol and element is fire which is for her light, illumination of knowledge and the flame that leads the way

Her day of the week is Sunday (shared with Michael).

Here's her sigil/seal you can use when working with her:

Here's a prayer you can say to her:

Dearest Archangel Jophiel, archangel of beauty and wisdom, please bless my creative endeavors.

Open my eyes that I may notice the beauty in the people around me as well in every part of Creation, including myself.

Empower me to maintain a clear mind even in times of chaos and make my mind orderly and serene. Inspire me to trust in God’s greater purpose for me and lend me the patience and the wisdom to recognize God’s beauty in every situation. — Amen

@saintlyfawn anything to add?

Hope you enjoyed this information and learnt something new! And thank you for the ask. Feel free to send more

once you realize that your manifestation is inevitable and that you can accomplish literally anything, life gets so much easier.

you can get literally anything you desire without having to lift a finger. how? because the law works that way.

so if you're stressing about time limits or worried you aren't "doing enough to manifest", relax. it's already yours. you don't need to stress about it.

there are 2 trillion galaxies in the observable universe alone beyond our exploration, tiny little atoms and cells make up every little thing we see, women are constantly giving birth to humans who have only been able to explore 5% of the entire ocean when it takes of 71% of the earth’s surface who’s tides are affected by the beautiful moon that is somehow floating and surrounded by stars which are just huge sphere, celestial bodies made up of hydrogen and helium, and you think you can’t manifest a text from your sp? a whole appearance change? get yourself out of your hard circumstances? a million dollars which are just numbers on a screen & paper? a job? please.
