A Message From Your Guides

A 2-deck, 3-card spread to welcome in a new month 🌈

Aloha, friends, and welcome to a new month and new weekend! Great combo.

Please read through the intro here as you’ll see that today’s set-up for choosing a pile is slightly different than usual.

I’ve also busted out the first ever deck in my collection: the classic Rider-Waite-Smith tarot, purchased c.1996 or so.

There’s always been a little something special energetically that arises when I work with this deck. Perhaps it’s all in my head, but I’d like to believe that the almost 30-year bond has something to do with it, too.

This is a new spread I’m working on, A Message From Your Guides. I typically begin new spreads with a core idea and only a few cards, in this case, three.

Over time, I expand and evolve the spread when reading for someone based on what comes up. If you’ve done a zoom reading with me, you have probably noticed The Path Ahead with Guides spread, as it’s the main one I’ve been shaping with my 1:1 clients.

A graphic of today’s spread can be found below, and like other Friday letters, it is available for you to download and keep.

Important: before you choose your card

You’ll notice that one card has already been turned over.

This is your focus card.

You’re meant to choose the pile that most resonates with something you’d like to explore further based on the choices.

As the title promises, what follows is a message from your guides.

With that, let’s dive into today’s special new spread.

xo,

PS: can you support me?

If you’ve been reading these for a while—I’m coming up on 4 (!!) years—consider becoming a paid supporter.

What do you get?

Access to these Friday letters and some new stuff I’m working on that dives deep into different decks I love, card meanings, crystal and stone usage, astrology, plant magick, etc.

It works out to about a cup of coffee a month, and it helps me a lot to have some support to keep carving out the time to do this work (that I LOVE, btw!).

If you are a supporter, thank you thank you thank you. I know who you are, and you do, too. Getting paid for something you love is the best gift in this life.
