If you have a question, I'll be happy to ask the coins using geomancy. That said, divination is like weather forecasting not a tablet of truth handed down from above, so take the advice I give you through the reading as such. The conditions that divination taps into are also in constant flux, the same as atmospheric pressure and the Moon. Be sure to ask questions to which you want to know the answer.
If you wish to make a donation for the readings, though it is not required, you can do so through Paypal by clicking the pentacle. Other than that, if your situation requires urgency, privacy or a more elaborate reading and conversation message me and we can arrange a 45 minute Tarot reading through Zoom or other virtual lobby software and look into it. Thanks for stopping by!

If so, that could be a problem. If what I want is to repair that connection and it is lost and never coming back, then I'm working toward something that I can never have, needing cooperation from something that will not work with me. The metaphor is no longer a tangle of yarn, but a brick wall and bashing head (it does feel more like that, admittedly).
2. Okay, there may have been a miscommunication here. I have problems finishing long term projects (and working on that in the areas where I can), but a 220 page book isn't a long term project. I have read most of his non fiction, some more than once. The egregore remains a mystery to me.
3. I did jump, heart didn't activate. If that's what we're waiting for my heart to tell me where it wants to go, this is doomed to failure. That's not tangled, that's amputated, I know I did it myself. I know when, why and just how good a job I did. What grew up in its place is something different, that functions different. Having examined it, I believe this is a limit that I simply must live with. I understand this part of my psyche well enough to have worked with it with some things that needed doing, framing issues in a way that I know it will respond to, and it can be a great ally when motivated, it can be very much like that pointed arrow you mentioned. Don't know how to frame spirituality so it will work.
I can only begin to want something if I reasonably think I can have it. When that connection was open, I did and knew what I wanted (just not how to get it); when I screwed up (by leaping without looking, running in the wrong direction with the wrong people and not realizing quick enough that everything I was doing was not working) and the door closed, and stayed closed despite every effort I made, that certainty is ending. I screwed up by not noticing the obvious signs I was going in the wrong direction, and now I see no signs from the universe at all, just a loop of action I made for myself that never leads anywhere but divination tells me to keep running. Or asks me to decide what I want while telling me I can't have that.

Date: 2022-11-26 03:01 am (UTC)In that case I apologize. I don't know you at all except with what you said and that was no current practice and no further details so I did think you weren't doing anything about but I am glad to have been proven wrong!
I'm not at all sure what to suggest, you are welcome to ask a different related question using geomancy or Tarot which I also know if you'd like.
Health concerns are very important to look at, certainly. I hope you are better now! Sorry to hear it prevented you from doing your practices.
For me, a year with the three practices would be enough to determine if it is working, and you can also ask if that set of practices is right for you, they might not. That said, if it is something that is giving you stress, I would consider leaving them and working with spirituality some other way.
As for your first sentence, not at all. Ffordd as Judge means change, not doing the same thing you've been doing and failing.
1) Colled is in a specific position as mentioned on previous comments. You are also free to ask about the deity you are concerned about the door being closed.
2) I meant his magical program books such as LRM, CGD and DMH mainly. It might be different for me, when I read his books I am for at least a few days very clearly influenced by the material in more than the intellectual way.
3) Since I don't know your situation I won't try to insist, if you say it's lost then maybe it is. In that case, there isn't much I can suggest but certainly not having any practice isn't helping either. I don't know what else to suggest besides my interpretation of the reading on my previous comments.
4) That mindset effectively locks you out of attaining anything you aren't already close to getting if you aren't careful and we've already touched upon Coch and self deceptions above. I might be reading you wrong.
Sorry this hasn't been that helpful! English is a second language to me so that might have to do with it.

Date: 2022-11-26 03:52 am (UTC)Perhaps I will take you up on a reading on the deity in question. If I haven't tried your patience too much. :) Whenever your next round is.
1. It has felt gone, and other people have said it was gone. They talk as though it were something very different from what I remember picking up on, so maybe they don't know what they're talking about. Or maybe it was self deception on my part. The initial contact happened, beyond that I've questioned it so much now I'm not sure anymore.
2. That mindset, like all of them, has its good points and bad. It was chosen because its benefits were sorely needed, its downsides have to be endured. It only locks me into things that can be achieved under my own effort alone, not requiring the assistance or approval of anyone else. It is dealing with others, their intentions and honesty (or lack thereof) where the extra caution is needed.
Again, I apologize. You haven't done anything wrong. I will think more on this, particularly ecosophia and what being there is supposed to be leading me to.
Re: A rambling for another rambling
Date: 2022-11-28 04:52 pm (UTC)1) I've been thinking for a while now to ask the people that come here to include some background in their queries, since my goal is more to help that to prove divination is right. It might take away some of the charm of hearing something in your life being repeated by the coins but I think it is more helpful to give meaning guidance.
I am also relatively new to geomancy, I do mostly tarot and I am getting the hang that Geomancy is super clearcut and doesn't elaborate on things you didn't asked about, whereas the Tarot many times even replies back with another question!
He he, it is not so much about my patience at all but about the message being heard. The next one will be posted today.
1) I am sorry to say that I feel inclined towards the latter of people not just knowing what they say. I am not an expert either but I see a lot of diviners not being able to tap into the reading and rather scramble with canned definitions to sound serious.
Regarding the deity in question. Deities are trascendental and timeless beings that know you better than you do so already knew what was going to happen after contact. Unless you were deliberately nasty or the deity being particularly picky, I wouldn't worry too much about it. But we can explore this further.
2) I like this, and I also like how our thread reflects the nature of your reading. Now, let's look for a third option that allows for the balance among the binaries we can find as themes and look for the third option that opposes the two (or flows between the two) and resolve it.
"It only locks me into things that can be achieved under my own effort alone, not requiring the assistance or approval of anyone else. It is dealing with others, their intentions and honesty (or lack thereof) where the extra caution is needed." - I would meditate and journal on the meaning and the reasons for you to have said that.
If I have to be bluntly honest, I would say, not from the reading but from myself, that you have to work towards weeding out what benefits you from the ecosophian community and what doesn't.
