Divination Offering

[open_space]

Some time has passed so here is another divination offering. If you have a question, I'll be happy to use geomancy or the tarot about it. 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.

Instructions Please leave a little bit of background about your situation or, if you practice magic, or are up for an experiment do the following. Take note of the time and place where you are and leave it in the comments. Take a moment to put both your mind and and your body into the present moment, feel your weight, your thoughts and your environment, become present. Perform your banishing ritual if you have one, if not, an opening prayer is enough. Before you imagine a door with a sacred sign for you and the time and place of your location inscribed in golden letters. In your imagination, stand up, walk and open the door. You have entered my private divining room, and yes, it has multiple rooms and this one is just for you. In the room there is a table with a red cloth and a deck of cards. Focus on your query or situation and shuffle the cards there. Leave the deck for me to pick up and you can go out the door, close it and return to your body. Close with another banishing or closing prayer or clap once loudly.

Any actions taken from the information of the readings are entirely the responsibility of the querent and do not replace nor pretend to be professional legal, medical or psychological counseling.

Please noteBe sure to ask questions to which you want to know the answer. Also, divination doesn't always tell you about things you already know about, actually, it almost never does! My suggestion is that you question yourself, especially on things that make you think or flinch if any, and consider the points mentioned from a stance of possibility not of confirmation bias or it's diametrical opposite, falsification bias.

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.

My father figure has for sure played a major emotional role in my life, even if not directly traceable. It's something I'll have to delve into.

Thank you for the advice. I'm finding that the one day at a time and looking at it as a drug, not drugs AND alcohol. I have to treat it like cocaine or heroin (two substances I've never taken but potentially life damaging). Its a drug, I'm suffering from a drug. This viewpoint affords me much more compassion to myself despite the societal view that it is normal and most people can handle it.

As far as thanking me for opening up, I think we ad a human community effect each other innumerably in ways that aren't always obvious, and I'm thankful I can connect with the work you do here.

Some substances are easier to get addicted to than others but, whichever way you got there, its the mechanisms of addiction that matter and those are equally hard on people, be it from alcohol o really intense drugs. So I think the position you are taking about it is the right way to approach it.

Thanks for stopping by!

I just wanted to follow up and tell you that so far so good. I have seen that it depends on the type of substance too...being a nurse who occasionally works night shift. I can say I'm certainly addicted to caffeine, but it doesn't seem to have the demon in it that ETOH has at least for me.

I can also say that with my new clarity of mind, I've not since been attracted to the thing nor do I find the "fun" that I'm missing all that fun. I'd much prefer to progress on the things that have taken more importance...playing my instrument, lifting, and cooking with my husband.

Before I tried to moderate, but now that I'm not using alcohol other than in a wine reduction sauce, it doesn't have the same threat over me. Its like when I married my husband who already has children and a vasectomy. The threat of pregnancy was thus removed (I love his children, but I don't want to become pregnant myself) and the threat around sex just melted away. With alcohol or with pregnancy, it seems that I do psychologically better once the "threat" is removed.

Regardless, I know this is the very beginning of my journey.

I want to thank you for hearing me throughout this process
