This pairing is here to give you a little guidance or insight about something you’re working through right now.
Remember, it doesn’t have to be epic, life-changing stuff in order to be effective. Perhaps you’re a little bothered by something someone said, or annoyed because the weather is gloomy, or just looking for a message to point you in the right direction.
Think about what you’d like to bring to the cards this week before scrolling down.
May this message be what you need to hear most,

one
The Hierophant & Garlic
This is a message to stay the course right now. Whether it’s a work project or a relationship that feels bumpy, this is a reminder to lean into where you’re at, even if just for a little longer.
Look to things that have always worked well, either things you’ve learned or traditions and habits that are tried and true.
Adding honey to tea is pretty solid. Or having one less drink and going to be an hour early. Meditation, when practiced, works like a charm. Or perhaps it’s prayer that soothes your soul.
Because the only way out is through, use what works to support you right now.
two
The Empress and Hawthorn
Bring forth your energy, your art, your kindness, your generosity, your home-cooked meals, your gifts…but do it with heart.
This is a reminder to notice the intention behind all of your actions, and align with love whenever you can.
Intentionality moves energy differently than blinding going through the motions.
You have the power to create worlds at your back—after all, you’re human!—so do so with all the heart you can muster, even (or maybe especially) if it’s something that’s challenging you right now.
three
Wheel of Fortune reversed & Lemon Balm
If you’re going through a tough time right now, the balm your soul needs is play.
Try taking all of it, even yourself, a little less seriously.
That’s easier said then done if you’re dealing with big, life things like mortality, illness, custody, or any other version of losing something you hold dear.
But that’s the point.
Even if you’re feeling pretty great, how can you bring more wonder and play into your day to day?
Ask more questions. Get curious. Laugh when you can, for the joy in it, or to release pent-up pain.
