The Hermit Witch

The Hermit Witch I love the world of Tarot and have my own personal twist when doing in-person readings. The cards offer guidance to help us look at what is already inside us.

I don't think they tell the future, but can give us perspective and direction.

This week's Lesson card from the Sacred Rebels Oracle deck is "Against the Grain"; asking us to no longer be afraid of being our true selves. No masks, no performances.

Remember our Vision card this week was the Devil. The addictions and toxic behaviors we develop in our lives don't form because we want to do things that hurt ourselves or others. We do them out of a need to survive or belong. They often come out of fear of being alone, abandoned or not belonging. But then they mutate into something that harms.

When we are finally able to face these shadows, heal from the harm they caused us, then we are also free to be fully ourselves. You don't have to conform to expectations that demand you to be someone you are not. Once you give yourself the permission to be yourself, the connections that are meant for you will find you.

Our Healing card this week, the Page of Wands, is a glimpse of what lies ahead on the other side of this shadow work. Also, don't be afraid to take inspiration from your shadow work going forward. You are not alone in this human experience.

This page has an almost childlike excitement and joy about the next journey in life. Ready to go take on the next adventure. The Pyramids in the background represent abstract thought, meaning it's time to take on those big ideas you have been hanging onto with all the curiosity and passion you can muster.

So yes, things can seem tough and scary when you have to face yourself and take accountability for how you have been in the past. But also, this is an amazing opportunity to become an even better and brighter human being by loving all sides of yourself, forgiving yourself, and with some grace, going forth to find out more about yourself.

Judgement as our Manifestation card this week is signifying a life-changing wakeup call. Often that is what happens when we really start looking hard at the things we do that hurt ourselves. Hopefully we find ourselves in a place where we can't even believe we were doing that for so long and can gladly leave it behind.

This is a turning point where we assess and judge our own past life choices and take accountability for our own actions. If you can do this you might be amazed how clear the path you need to take becomes. Owning our actions, good or bad, can bring a certain kind of freedom where previously we may have hidden out of fear of shame and punishment.

Now is the time to leave that old, scared, person behind and make a brand new, fresh start!

Like I said yesterday, emotions are high right now. And the Five of Cups as our Power card is acknowledging this. Shadow work brings up so much grief, fear, and regret over things we have done or lost in the past.

There is power in letting yourself feel these darker emotions and letting yourself be in them for a time. There are things we can learn about ourselves and the human experience when we let ourselves feel these emotions.

I want to avoid calling them negative, because so many people relate that to mean bad or wrong. We need to feel the full spectrum of emotions to truly understand the world around us and our own world within us. So take your time with them.

But this card also wants to remind us to not let this darkness distract us from the good things we do have. The man in this card still has two full cups and a clear path home. Don't lose sight of the good things in your life while dealing with your darkness.

Our Vision card starting this week off, The Devil, is asking us to continue our shadow work. We are currently in a time in our lives where emotions might be high and big changes are in progress.

What this means is that some of the things that we do or believe that are unhealthy for us might be forced into the light so that we have no choice but to deal with them.

It could be a myriad of things depending on what is going on for you personally. Anything from addiction, bad habits, manipulative or toxic behavior, lies you tell yourself. Whatever it is, it's time to look at yourself and tell yourself to cut that s**t out.

It's an illusion that your trapped in this cycle. That feeling that this is just the way you are and you have to live with it isn't real. That's fear. Let it go. Like the people in this card, your chains are put there by yourself and are possible to remove if you just allow yourself to do it.

This week's Lesson card from the Sacred Rebels Oracle deck is "Listening for Truth"; which is essentially what you are being asked to do this week. Listen for your own truth, and don't be afraid to face it.

This quote from the decks guide book speaks strongly to me about what this week's whole wheel is about: "If you or someone else, is fearful that the truth will expose rather than free and heal, then some personal healing is required."

It can be scary and uncomfortable to finally face yourself. But ultimately it will bring both accountability and answers for you. We want to deny or ignore the truth sometimes and just continue keeping the status quo. But there is no progress or growth with that path.

Bolster yourself with the nostalgia of the Six of Cups as you go down this difficult path. In the end, this very well may go as deep as healing inner child wounds.

The Healing card this week, the Eight of Swords, wants to remind you that your own fear and negativity is what may have got you where you are, and is what is making you feel trapped and alone right now. This is probably why our Vision card this week, the Six of Cups, feels so important to me right now.

This woman feels like there is no way out of her predicament. But her ties are loose. She needs to only free herself and look around.

Your solutions are within you already. You just have to be willing to know yourself, listen to yourself, and be honest with yourself. No more telling yourself and others stories to explain away why you can't do this or that.

Let go of your fears of what might happen or of being trapped forever where you are in life right now. It's time to face reality, all of the bad yes, but also all of the good. What were you taking for granted?

Our Manifestation card, the Knight of Pentacles, is once again saying it's a time for slow and steady progress. Don't rush into new projects. Don't run around in a frantic hurry to get everything done and figured out.

Now is the time to stay focused and dedicated to the observation of the self as mentioned with yesterday's Hanged Man. We are working through deep memories and past emotions. This kind of work is slow and takes your full commitment and concentration. If you start anything new, it might be just a simple and short meditation practice, 15min every day.

You won't be healed today. Your answers won't magically appear tomorrow. This process is going to take time, and your main commitment will be to let it flow at it's own pace.

There is a definite theme this week of pausing and reflecting again with our Power card, the Hanged Man. He is strung upside-down, forced to look at his world in a whole new perspective.

Right now the best move you could make is to be still and quiet with yourself. Stop running around in a trauma state trying to fix everything, make thing's "right" or find the correct answer. You are in an in-between space right now.

It's time to listen and observe, mainly yourself, and your life so far. Feel your emotions, your body, and your mind. Let them do what they will do. But while they do, put yourself somewhere new that you usually wouldn't. But continue to only listen and observe.

Remain the passive audience member, not the actor in control of the scene. Everything will reveal itself in due time.
