Birth of a universe: by Sam Del Russi
I think people demonize anger a lot within the pagan and polytheist communities. I've noticed so many people be terrified that they've angered or upset their gods, and while there is obviously an underlying reason for that fear (usually trauma or anxiety), it definitely isn't a necessary fear to have.
Gods get angry. They can feel rage that burns so hot it scorches the lands below them. They don't approve of everything we do because, you know what, sometimes our actions, as humans, are just unacceptable. Sometimes we fuck up and have to be reminded the our actions impact other people's emotional states, and that includes the gods.
But just because gods get angry, upset, or disappointed with us doesn't mean they're going to leave us or they'll hate us or this or that. It doesn't mean they don't recognize that we are flawed and make mistakes. It doesn't mean they won't forgive us of our actions.
Of course, I believe that gods are capable of hating people. I believe there are some humans that are so despicable, so vile, that the gods themselves shun and scorn their very existence, but I'd like to think (and this is just my opinion) that isn't very common and that the gods are more forgiving and understanding than people give them credit for. I think there is a lot of fear-mongering that the gods will punish or hurt us because we've made a mistake or something along those lines, but in reality, they are much more lenient and forgiving, although they'll still get angry, upset, or disappointed.
It's ok for a god to be upset with you. They're not going to boil your toes or turn your fingers into snakes or something. Like, it's ok to be a flawed human; that's what human existence is. The gods know that, but we can still piss them off sometimes. We can still disappoint or upset them. And it's ok for us to still be loved by them afterwards. Both truths can exist at once; they can be angry as all hell at you and still love you. They can be disappointed in something you've done and still want the best for you. They can be upset at your actions and still care deeply for you.
It's up to you how you react to their anger, their upset, and their disappointment. Either way, you'll come out of the situation ok. Conflicts are normal in every relationship, including deity relationships.
To truly master tarot, you have to put in the time to learn the cards’ traditional and evolved meanings. You cannot rely on your intuition alone. That would be cheating. But, when you are a total beginner, your intuition could somehow be your tutor.
Read the room, so to speak. Observe the mood of the card or the spread. Look at the facial expressions. The colors. The setting. The atmosphere.
This way, if the question is, “Does he love me?” and you get the Nine of Swords, you do not have to remember that card’s meanings.
You only have to look at the card and see that the figure in it is stressed, not happy. The color of it is black – a shade of negativity. The background has a bunch of swords hanging on someone’s head, like a threat.
Does this card look like someone who is in love? Not at all. You have your answer.
The Major Arcana is a cheat sheet in itself. The cards’ names contain their meanings.
What is a magician? Someone who can do magic. Therefore, in most cases, The Magician means having magic in your life, such as a wish come true or a last-minute miracle. Anything wonderful.
Who is the devil? Someone bad and evil. Therefore, The Devil is usually someone who has sinister plans. You are being warned against a toxic person, a dangerous situation, or self-sabotage.
When it comes to the Minor Arcana, all you have to do is remember what each suit means. Wands are passion. Cups are emotions. Swords are thoughts. Pentacles are foundations. When looking at a card, replace the suit names with the above. Suddenly, the Ten of Pentacles becomes the Ten of Foundations. That is, someone incredibly stable.
Remember this basic sentence structure: Subject-verb-object. Jason drank juice. Andy bought books. Stefan punishes bullies. Read spreads as such. Below is a nine-card spread read from top to bottom.
Queen of Pentacles + The Star + Two of Cups. “A woman (subject) wishes (verb) for love (object).”
The Empress + Six of Cups + The Lovers. “She (subject) will receive (verb) it (object).”
Knight of Wands + Six of Pentacles + Ace of Cups. “A Fire sign (subject) will give (verb) it (object).”
This way, you do not need to spend ages on interpreting one card. Instead, you are allowing them to interact and give you one coherent message.
If you do not know anything yet about tarot numerology, remember your lessons in kindergarten. The bigger the number, the better. Would you rather have five chocolate bars or ten?
It is the same with tarot. Bigger often means better. The Nine of Cups is the card of satisfaction. But satisfaction fades. The Ten of Cups is the card of fulfilment. Something full takes longer to be drained.
When it comes to negative cards, the same is still true, except “better” becomes “worse”. The Nine of Swords is ridden with anxiety. But the Ten of Swords is reeking of death. Anxiety can get better, but death is final.
This even applies to the Major Arcana. But for that to make sense, you will need a deeper understanding of The Fool’s Journey – how the cards, even the negative ones, progress in wisdom and maturity.
When you are feeling overwhelmed by the amount of cards and their meanings, focus on just one detail to get rid of your confusion.
If the question is, “How will my finances be for 2022?” and you pull the Queen of Wands, focus on the throne, for example.
Do poor people sit on thrones? No. Only royals do. Royals are rich. They own jewels, land and castles. Therefore, the querent’s finances in 2022 are looking positive.
Direct your thoughts towards one object within a card, and start speaking about what that object generally represents. Simply voice out your thoughts, and you will arrive at the message.
unstoppable force (wanting to be the kindest version of myself) vs immovable object (all the anger and hatred I have inside myself)

Romantic relationships are not destinations. They are experiences and opportunities to learn and grow on our journey towards self-awareness and personal fulfillment. Your romantic relationships do not and will not give you personal fulfillment. Personal fulfillment is Personal. Relationships are partnerships and a commitment to grow, discover and evolve together with someone else. too many people seeing their relationships as personal fulfillment and don’t realize how short lived this experience is because they get caught up in a high of it, then end up settling and justifying it in their minds.
look how tiny we are, almost invisible, standing on the world's finger. the planet's hair tendrils could woosh us away. yet, here we are. tiny people.
After you get better, can you answer how can we contact our soulmate? 🤔
mm i’m feeling quite bored/lonely so i’ll do it now if you don’t mind..
so i have no idea how to do that. my methods are confusing and like.. there’s no gurantee of anything whatsoever xd i don’t think about it often tbh.. my mind was very preoccupied with ‘work’ lately. but you see, i heard that astral travel (which i don’t recommend too much) or lucid dreaming (which is a better option) can help! but from what i know lucid dreaming takes practice, like learning how to remember dreams (every night), during sleep time making an alarm often (like every hour or something?) so that you can dream while being concious in the dream (it won’t affect your body, because it’s just a dream and you will wake up) so in lucid dreams you can do whatever you want! so you could say ‘i wanna meet my soulmate and talk with them’ and do that! i hope this helped somehow!
Another EFT tapping video now the video i was searching found it . In this it's easier to understand again I'm saying that Affirmation should be customized any Affirmation you want say and tap on point . Highly recommended for void , sc or even manifesting it doesn't matter. Just into mirror start Affirming and taping . Do it in the morning right after waking up .
