Beautiful Bountiful Blessings

There have been mentions of blessings around my site from day one, but I didn’t actually have a home for them or explain what they are…. Essentially mini spells, or affirmations that I wanted to keep going beyond 1-2 lines. So I’ve moved them under the affirmations umbrella and will be posting a set regularly!

Much like affirmations, say these words often in places of power or calm. In ritual or in relaxation. Tweak the words to make them yours, and you’ll be sure the magic soars.

Here’s a collection crafted drawing from my Queer Tarot deck, the colorful empowering imagery is the uplifting energy I send to all of you!


“We freeze ourselves in a culture of greed,
Guarding pentacles, becomes vital need
Protecting the comfort, restricting the growth
Abandoning the journey, forgetting our oath
But the world is freeing, when your vision is too
Excitement and enthusiasm filling your view.
Pick up your staff, it is time to explore,
With boundless creation and desires that soar.”

“Community and abundance, the greatest joys.
Interconnected in difference, immune to decoys.
When enough is enough, you must share the light,
Establishing that legacy is our shared right.
For not all times are abundant, struggles have cost
So remember that light, let it never be lost
Being present is needed if you need be fulfilled,
Tend to your needs, guard your heart, hone your will.”

“It looms overhead and reminds you to rest.
Sit with your emotions, let your mind rest.
Gather your strength, clear your mind, with rest.
Rest is best, Rest is best, you are best, if you rest.
For rest is stability and security of soul,
Emotional fulfillment that will make you feel whole,
Enjoy the homecoming and security you feel,
When no change is needed the gratitude is real.”

“Gather anxiety, gather despair
gather negativity any feelings unfair.
Let go of the nightmares, let go of your fears
Free your mind and make the fog clear.
It’s okay to let go of the bad things you find
On your search for the truth there’s much left behind
Let go and walk on, spiritual journeys await,
Go forth divine one, and conquer your fate”


I had a thought of what might be fun to put here-I’ll list the cards used for ALL of the blessings/affirmations/spells that I post! But I won’t reveal necessarily the spread, intent or other context clues.

Test your tarot recognition by guessing which cards go to which lines! Or GROW your tarot skills by taking these cards out of your own deck, looking at the images and seeing if you can see the same story told!

I’m really excited about adding this to my posts, but then again, I am admittedly obsessed with cards, sooooo there is that. Let me know your thoughts on this change!

Cards:
Page of Wands
Five of Wands
Four of Pentacles
Ten of Cups
Eight of Cups
Ten of Wands
Four of Swords
Nine of Swords

Blessed be.

    1. Thank you so much!! And you got the first card of each blessing 100% right! (Each blessing used two cards)
      I’ve enjoyed poking around your site in the bit of time I’ve had and plan to explore more now that the chaos has died down! 🫶

        Sorry for replying so late… I’m also trying to organize some personal chaos 😀

        Well, in that case:
        2nd part of the 1st blessing – Page of Wands – because of stuff and exploration;
        2nd part of the 2nd blessing – 5 of Wands – because of struggles;
        2nd part of the 3rd blessing – 8 of Cups – very cup-like/water-element energy 🙂
        2nd part of the 4th blessing – 10 of Wands – go and walk on; I see with my inner eyes the person with these wands on their back continuing to walk.

        This was a tough one, because I guess I use a different approach to some of the minor arcana. The 5 of Wands is distinctly a collective fight/quarrel/exercise for me, while struggle for one’s own good is represented by the 7 of Wands in my personal opinion. The 8 of Cups is actually my least loved card, as I interpret it as an obsession with negative emotions, almost drowning in them. Even when you try to move forward, they stick to you. The 10 of Wands brings a sense of maddening oppression and weariness. Just explaining why it was tough 🙂

        I don’t use reversals (since I love the pictures and with my ADHD, I lose details when looking at reversed cards). However, I do apply reversed meanings: when a “positive card” is surrounded by negative ones or vice versa. Even so, those cards don’t feel as positive for me personally as you describe them in your blessings 🙂

        But it’s all a matter of individual perspective; we each establish our own language to speak with our decks 🙂
        And of course, please feel free to explore as much as you like – I’ll be absolutely thrilled! 🙂
        And I’m going to visit your site often too 🙂

        PS: by the way, I agree with you regarding the Tower. For me, it represents liberation from restrictions or oppression, especially those we place on ourselves, or from illusions or false ego 🙂 You can ignore this reply, of course.

      3. Yes! Freedom from false ego is the perfect way to describe it!

        And I agree on your earlier comment- sometimes when doing my affirmations or blessings the “second card” gets its meaning distorted based on the first card and the intent so it can def be tough if you’re not in ritual with me 😉
        Thank you so much again for your support and feedback!! 💜

        Of course, my pleasure 🙂
        But did I guess it right? 😀

      5. 2/4 but honestly, I’d give you full credit cause I totally understand why you’d guess that way! Might have also just been the specific imagery of this deck too.

        #1 Correct (Staff really does give it away)
        #2 Correct (Message to stay present/grounded in times of conflict was kinda the vibe I got)
        #3 is actually the 10 of wands reversed (should have indicated that, but it was still a bit of a stretch) Four of swords was the heavy lifter of that one.
        #4 is the 8 of cups, embarking on a spiritual journey leaving behind what has been found
