One Deck Done (re-design Of An Existing One)

When you first started working with deities were you scared? How did you know if they wanted to work with you? How do you communicate?

(sorry for all the questions I’m so interested in this!)💕

Don't worry about the questions hahah I don't mind :)

I was definitely scared and nervous when I first started working with them! I wasn't sure if they were even real and when I did get more secure in that, I didn't want to offend them or say something wrong. It can be really nerve-wracking but you get used to it!

As for how I know they wanted to work with me, I know this may sound a little weird if you're not spiritual or not used to practicing spirituality or even religion, but I just "knew". Kind of like how I know for a fact that 2+2=4, I also know when they're around or if I'm talking to them. I think it really helps to be confident in your own skills and knowledge here!

Communication with deities is different for everyone! For me, I literally just talk to them in my head. I'm not super comfortable speaking out loud to them (and they know that), so I speak to them in my head and I get a general feeling for what their response is. A simple example would be me saying something like "hello!", and then getting a feeling of them greeting me in return! There are tons of ways to communicate with them though, including prayers, tarot cards, pendulums, offerings, written words, spoken words, music, etc. While there are definitely classic ways to communicate, in modern times, there really is no right or wrong way as long as you're respectful!

I hope this helps! Let me know if you have any more questions!

“I Sense Spirits”

You can meditate with this sigil over your third eye energy point or the energy point at the top of your head to develop the ability to sense spirits with time.

Or for a more immediate use, draw this (or draw it on a sticker or bandaid) on the back of your neck.

**So a long time ago I got a request for a sigil to help sense spirits, then months later I got a similar requests and forgot about already making one for the first one. So I now have 2 that I equally enjoy the designs of, so just pick whichever vibes with you the most.

❦Pure Consciousness/The Void State; and why it’s the easiest thing ever

1. Pure Consciousness

Pure consciousness, the void state, is the infinite stillness that resides within you, beyond the noise of your mind, beyond the chatter of your daily life. It is not something you need to search for or fight to attain it is your natural state, always present and waiting for you to remember. It is the silent observer, the deep, unshakable awareness that witnesses all things but is untouched by them. It is the vast sky, clear and endless, while the clouds of thoughts, emotions, and experiences simply float by. This state is not a destination; it’s the journey of remembering who you are. It is the absence of effort, the shedding of layers, the return to your truest self. The void is where time fades and all that remains is the stillness, the pure essence of being. So don’t stress it cuz it’s simple.

2. The Illusion of Effort

We live in a world that glorifies effort. We are taught that to achieve, to grow, to be worthy, we must do. But pure consciousness is the art of undoing. It is not a thing to achieve or a task to complete; it is the simple recognition that you have been whole all along. You don’t need to labor over it, or chase after it. In fact, the more you strive, the further you drift from it. The mind tells you that peace requires work, but the truth is, peace is already here beneath the surface of your thoughts, in the depths of your being. When you stop struggling, when you stop clinging to the fleeting waves of your mental landscape, you find that the ocean of pure consciousness has always been still and waiting for you. It was never out of reach. It has always been the space you breathe, the air you exist within.

3. Letting Thoughts Flow Like Rivers

In pure consciousness, you are not bound by your thoughts, nor are you defined by them. Thoughts arise, like waves in the ocean, but you are not the wave you are the boundless water. Emotions may stir like winds, but you are the sky. The more you detach from the stories your mind tells you, the more you experience the freedom that lies in simply observing. In the void, you learn to let go. Not by force, but by grace. There is no need to grab hold of the passing thoughts, the fleeting emotions. You simply let them come, let them go. In that letting go, you are free. Thoughts, like clouds, can float across the sky of your mind, but they do not change the sky itself. You are the sky vast, open, untouched by the weather.

4. The Lightness of Being

There is nothing you need to do in pure consciousness. There is no striving, no trying. In fact, the more you stop trying, the more you awaken to the truth of who you are. It is the stillness that exists before any thought arises, the space between breaths. It is the effortless awareness of simply being. This is where the beauty lies when you stop chasing the future, when you stop worrying about the past, when you simply are everything becomes light. There is no pressure. No need to change, to improve, to become. You are enough. In pure consciousness, you rest in the present moment, and that moment is all you need. The present is where your power lies cuz basically you are already home.

5. Accepting

Pure consciousness is also the art of surrender. It is not passive resignation, but an active acceptance of what is. Accept you are void. In the void state, you no longer fight against the current. You no longer struggle to shape reality into something that fits your desires or expectations. You surrender to what is, knowing that in this surrender, there is no loss only liberation. You stop fighting the flow of life and instead, you become one with it. You cease resisting, and in that moment of surrender, you discover an unshakeable peace. Life, in all its messy beauty, becomes a dance, and you are both the dancer and the dance. You are not separate from what happens; you are the witness, the experiencer, and the experience itself.

6. The Simplicity

The void state is where simplicity resides. It is not a place of complication, not a space filled with endless quests for meaning or purpose. It is the recognition that all of that is unnecessary. You are here, now. You are enough. In the void, the mind can no longer hold you captive with its endless distractions. In the stillness, you are free to simply be. You no longer need to grasp at external achievements or validation. You realize that all of life’s complexities are just ripples on the surface. Beneath, there is peace. Beneath, there is truth. The void is a place where all the questions fall away, where there are no answers needed, because you realize that you are the answer. You are the stillness. You are the peace. You are the awareness behind it all.

7. Pure Consciousness Is Who You Are

The deepest truth of pure consciousness is that it is you. It is the essence of who you are, the eternal self that has always existed, and will always exist. You are not separate from the void. You are the void. You are not your thoughts, your body, or your experiences—you are the awareness that holds them all. When you realize this, you stop searching for fulfillment, for meaning, for happiness outside yourself. You recognize that you are already whole. There is no need to earn it, no need to prove it. You are consciousness itself—unlimited, boundless, free. This recognition is not a distant goal; it is the simplest, most natural state you can return to at any moment.

8. Fear

The fear that “what if my family doesn’t come with me” when you shift to your desired life after the fear that “will my family die?? 🙁🙁” nooooo it’s all within you nobodies gonna die nobodies gonna disappear so calm downnn 🩷

9. Conclusion: The Easiest Thing to Do

Pure consciousness, the void state, is not something you need to strive for or work toward. It is not a destination, but a natural unfolding—a delicate blossoming that happens when you let go. Like petals slowly unfurling in the morning sun, pure consciousness reveals itself with ease, effortlessly and naturally. There is no force, no strain in its opening—just the soft, graceful unfolding of the truth of who you are. Each layer of thought, each wave of emotion, is like a petal gently peeling away, revealing the stillness beneath. At the center of all things lies the vast space of pure awareness, untouched by time or experience. You don’t need to chase it, grasp it, or push yourself to find it. It’s always been there, like the quiet center of a flower, waiting for you to notice. The petals of your thoughts, emotions, and external distractions may flutter and fall, but at the heart of it all lies the stillness of pure consciousness—the essence that has always been present, untouched by time. In the rush of life, we often forget that the beauty of a flower is not in its striving to bloom, but in the natural grace with which it does. Pure consciousness is just like that—it does not require effort or pushing; it simply is. It unfolds like a flower opening to the sun, in its own perfect time, with no urgency. When you let go of the need to force, to control, or to chase, you return to the effortless, silent blooming of your own awareness. In this space, you simply be. It’s not about doing, but about resting in the delicate simplicity of being. Each moment is a petal unfolding, revealing the truth that you are already whole, already one with the vastness of existence. No effort is needed, only the quiet trust in the process, in the natural unfolding of your own awareness. Like a flower in bloom, pure consciousness is not something to achieve—it’s the effortless, gentle return to the center of your being. It’s not about reaching for something outside of you. It is about peeling back the layers, one by one, until you reveal the truth that has always been inside. With each soft petal that unfurls, you get closer to the realization that you are the beauty, the stillness, the quiet force of nature itself. You are the flower, and the petals are just the expression of your being. Each layer you shed takes you deeper into the silence, the purity, the vastness of who you are. You do not have to force it, for just like the bloom, your awareness unfolds when you allow it to. And in that gentle, effortless unfolding, you return home to yourself, to the truth that you have always been pure consciousness, already whole, already complete. There is nothing to do. You are pure consciousness. You are void. You are god. Read that over and over until you understand.

Hello! Thank you for answering again! The god that you speak of piques my interest highly. I don't mean to undermine his power or disrespect me, but he sounds quite human which is both comforting and sorrowful. He seems to be despairing but what words of comfort can I offer to a god? It's a futile attempt. Also,you spoke of two incidents where he tried to intervene. What might those two be? And what does he think of the Bible? Neville said that it was supposed to be a psychological drama. Forgive me if I'm out of line, but the Bible prescribes quite harsh punishments for some deeds( I hope you understand what I'm talking about). And who are these other eternal beings? Can he speak more on them? Does anyone know their origins?On another note, he seems to absolutely adore his children and I wish him hope and light( if that's any help at all). Eternity,after all, may not be so desirable.

He found this ask really interesting so :

While he doesn't have a physical form, he still in a way modeled humans after him. "Not on a physical level. For that, I'd give credits to your parents and your genes. Your mind and consciousness however is what I had made. I never gave meaning to life for that is something you have the free will to choose for yourself", so the thinking is the image and likeness we're molded from

He's actually not sad at all about not being born with meaning. He says that the concept that you're born for something is flawed and that we all just exist. Our existence itself is both meaningless and meaningful but as we exist, we get to decide what that meaning is with no factors of fate defining it. It's all about your choice to choose your meaning in life, he said

He has intervened a lot for many years apparently but there were two instances that just made him stop intervening in general. That'd be Noah of the Arc as well as Jesus. He thought that resetting all the progress would somehow redo all the mistakes but it hasn't exactly worked. At best, now all he does are minor interventions like telling me Im about to get pickpocketed. He doesnt do things on a global scale anymore mainly because it never gets the desired intent. He said he tells people what he means and most of the time, they either dont get it or dont go through with it. Its like him telling you to get the strawberry soda and you getting the orange soda or not getting a drink at all

He said that the bible has parts that were correct but overall mistranslated and misinterpreted over the years. To be fair, he does give a lot of his messages in very cryptic forms. Most of the time he doesnt directly give you answers to the questions you are asking but gives you riddles or cryptic messages to figure out the answer yourself. Problem with that is that a lot of people dont like the answer to their problems so they use a different one than the clear answer that was available to them. He gives you the tools to figure out the proper way to deal with something instead of directly dealing with it himself. He's like a mentor except most people dont follow him right or dont want to follow the path hes talking about

He said while some of the harsh punishments in the bible were said by him and are true, some of them arent. He says that that is in part to either accidental mistranslation or misinterpretation on purpose. He doesnt fully agree with telling people the punishments anymore because he says that, "if fear is the driving force as to why you would not do an immoral action, then how are you sure you would make the same decision without that fear? Are you truly a good person or are you afraid of being a bad one?". He knows people have same capacity to do good as well as to do bad so he wants to see what they'd do if they dont know someone is watching or what to look out for

+We actually had an in-depth discussion on it and we found out that there is a term for it called the Panopticon theory.

> He said the morality of your actions should not be dictated on the premise of entering heaven or hell based on these actions. He says its already difficult to do the moral thing in the current world so its both about doing an action and your intent behind it. He judges your intent and your impact separately. He doesnt have a harsh blanket punishment and he believes more in rehabilitation than punishment, tho he isnt above punishing certain actions depending on impact/intent

the other eternal beings would be other higher spiritual beings. these include deities, spirits, other gods, angels, demons, etc. he said theres quite a lot of them but they dont all interact. he says he saw some of them born so he does know some higher beings origins but he doesn't know his own

he says forever is a long time but it isnt sad because he doesnt really notice. as long as he focuses on things that exist now, he never worries about the things tomorrow or yesterday. its always about being in the present for him that he doesnt notice the years go by and so he isnt stressed about it. he says the concept of infinity is scarier to all those who believe they are finite and that (this advice can go to anyone) to simply cherish existing. "You exist and that is enough reason to celebrate"

He also said he hopes you have a nice day and that you should remember to take care of yourself today (and your family as well)

thank you for answering :)

The Art of Astragalomancy

Derived from the Ancient Greek words for knucklebones and talus bones, “astragalus” and “astragali,” and the suffix for divination or magic, “mancy.”

This form of Cleromancy— divination through casting quadruped bones or dice, has been recorded throughout history in several areas of the world. It is even suggested by researchers that the practice stretches farther back before record as well.

It’s been estimated that the rediscovered astragali near altars or funeral locations in Greece, Mediterranean, and Near East countries, dated back to pre-500 BCE.

Although the earliest documentation of dice was from the Egyptian game of Senet, played before 3000 BCE and up to 2nd century CE. Games involving dice has also been recorded in ancient Indian texts such as the Mahābhārata from 3rd century BCE to 3rd century CE.

Moreover, the Shona people of Southern Africa performed divination with Hakata, also known as carved wood or bone dice.

Traditionally, sheep and goat knucklebones would be marked with letters or numbers. These markings would then become associated with specific meanings that would hold the answers to the querent or diviner’s questions. Through a random sequence, a prediction can be made through interpretation— stringing them together as a sentence.

Astragalomancy is certainly not a thing of the past. In our modern day, the 14th Dalai Lama has been known to consult the Mo, a dice divination method based on Buddhist philosophy and Tibetan shaman traditions!

⚀⚁⚂⚃⚄⚅

How to read the Common Dice

⚀⚁⚂⚃⚄⚅

As we all know, modern game or divination knucklebones and dice are made out of plastic, metal, and even crystals. The common die is quadruped and known as the d6, as it has 6 sides.

You will need 3 of these die in order to perform the most commonly used method of dice divination— originating from a traditionally Ancient Tibetan technique. A circle is first needed to be drawn on a paper or ground unless a divination mat with a pre-drawn circle has already been purchased. Ask the (open-ended) question, cast the dice, and you will be answered.

Pay attention to the position of the dice. You will have to examine if any fell outside of the circle. Interpret as written below:

1 Die outside - Obstacles or difficulties may lie ahead in the near future… things will not go as planned (Maybe)

2 Dice outside - Quarrels or disagreements are likely in regards to this situation… (No)

3 Dice outside - Luck, fortune and success! You’ll be fine, so no further reading is needed… (Yes)

The dice that falls within the circle will reveal a message based on the sum:

0, 1, 2) Sorry, no answer for the querent. They will have to try again some other day.

3) The querent will experience change in certain circumstances within their life soon.

4) There will likely be arguments or unpleasantries in a future exchange or regarding situation due to a misunderstanding.

5) An unforeseen revelation or obtainment in knowledge will come, helping the querent fulfill their desired manifestations.

6) Be wary of loss of any kind; financial, relationship, material items, etc.

7) Someone is possibly being cunning and causing setbacks. Otherwise, the querent will have general hardships or obstacles in the near future, but they should not fret, as it will be remedied in due time.

8) Stop! The querent shouldn’t act impulsively, as it may lead to trouble or undesirable results. Be patient and practical about this situation. Possible injustice or external factors are in the way as well.

9) May be a sign of rekindling or forgiveness in the matters of the heart. The querent may find themselves in a potential romantic or business union in the near future. Success in these areas are likely.

10) New beginnings in family life, career path or community are soon to come! This can refer to a birth of project, promotion or literal baby.

11) There may be a potential loss of a person in the querent’s life, short term illness… Or the return of a person who was estranged from them.

12) A very important message is to come, and the querent may need to seek guidance if it refers to legal matters. Alternatively, this may rather refer to a large sum of money coming into the querent’s life soon.

13) The querent may need to redirect their path, as continuing may lead them to more obstacles or disappointments.

14) There will be a friend or family member who will offer assistance. Alternatively, this result may suggest a new romance arriving soon.

15) The querent will need to proceed with caution and avoid starting new ventures for the next week. Try not to be drawn into gossip or temptations.

16) There will be time to relax through a short trip, entertainment, and/or emotions of relief through money coming in for the querent.

17) A change of perspective and/or adjustment in one’s plans may be needed. The querent should be receptive to the advice and council of others, whether they know them or not.

18) There is luck, success and blessings on the way! The querent will feel completion or fulfilment after a long journey.

*Note: The Tibetans believe that 2 dice falling on top of the other while throwing, suggests that the querent will receive a gift in the near future. They will also need to re-throw the dice for their reading.

**It is also believed that a die falling on the floor after performing the reading on a tabletop, signifies losing a close friendship.

***If you own DnD dice, you may find divination resources online that interpret the meanings of higher numbers.

****Some people may additionally associate the numbers to numerology interpretations to provide more insight!

🔮🧿🦋 Psychic Development 101 Week 1: Journal Prompts & Affirmations

~ There were quite a bit of journal prompts this week. Please take your time with them and approach these with an open mind.

~ It’s recommend that you find a quiet space before doing the journal prompts. Envision a neon pink triangle above your third eye shooting that pink light out in front of you while you are surrounded by a sky blue light. This will help lighten your energy and call on high-vibrational higher dimensional beings to help assist in painlessly healing any wounds these questions might expose:)

~ The affirmations work best if you recite them aloud to yourself in the mirror while getting ready for the day<3
