This mini tarot read was thrown with The Green Witch Tarot. This toss is all about movement, discovery, and new adventures. First, we have the "Queen of Pentacles", she sits under a tree, no worries smiling appearing to be very content. Her basket next to her is full she smiles while staring up at a dove. She is at rest, happy, and content. The dove is here to represent new opportunities on the horizon, cycles that are ending, and new ones starting. This is a time to begin moving forward with something new. It is time to take that step, which takes us directly to the "Eight of Chalices". Here is a man he’s on a new journey. He’s inquisitive, looking down at the plants studying them, he has scrolls in his satchel, walking away from what looks to be his home, he has decided to take this journey. He is ready to learn and discover new tihings. It is time for you to learn new things whether that’s finding a new hobby or learning history or higher education, but it is time for you to take that step. You have completed what you needed to before and it is time to journey out and discover something different coming closer to your true self. Which leads us to the "Knight of Chalices", he looks to be celebrating to be entering a new cycle, a new circle. He is heading towards what looks to be a table where others gather. There is a stork off in the distance, standing under a tree this symbolizes it’s time to focus on your next moves for the best success. This for you could mean finding new avenues of networking for business, or just a new social life finding joy with others. It is time for you to open up to try new things to meet new people whether that is for business or for pleasure, it is time.
Starting a new journey and being open to learning, while meeting new and different people can help lead you to your true self. Which is what the next card shows me. "The Witch", she stands in a circle of salt, which is for protection, with a crow over top of her symbolizing, even more protection and guidance into finding her “magic” her true self. It is time for you to find your magic. She stands at a cauldron, joyous, happy, and free out in the open doing what she loves. She is finding herself she is doing what she loves, and makes her happy and complete. It is time for you to take hold of your magic and share it with the world. To be proud of all you are and can do.
Which leads us to the "Nine of Wands", this is completion of your new venture or the new you. There is a mole behind you, coming out of the ground, which symbolizes luck for your endeavors. The treasures that you have been seeking are coming into site, but this card also to me says it is time to be a little protective of yourself, but also to not miss the joys in life like the fairy dancing next to him. Stay focused, but make sure to balance work and play.
The last card, "Eight of Athames", this card ties together all the other cards. To me this card says that it’s time to take the leap of faith. The woman is tied and blindfolded, but she still knows the way she still walks with confidence even when everything is dark and gloomy. She is still walking and persisting to where she needs to go, you must trust your instincts, your intuition, your inner voice. You must trust what you know and what you have learned, and even when times seem scary, or the road seems windy you must persist and keep moving forward. There is a hedgehog next to her to represent inquisitiveness, to explore just remember to protect yourself.
This is a time of old cycles ending and new ones beginning. It is a time to learn new things and discover things that make you happy, that will fulfill you. Every step you take will help you get closer to your true self. Stay open and keep moving even in times of doubt. Your inner voice will guide you, so make sure you Listen.
