Weekend Forecast: 9-1 to 9-3 2017

Hello my little Tarot Tots!

It's time for another weekend tarot forecast! I haven't done this in a while so I might be a little rusty. I'm trying really hard to get back into the swing of things like I used to do. This is the Manga Tarot by Selena Lin.

Let's get to it:

Friday 9-1-2017: 7 of Swords (Reversed): This Friday is going to be mega scattered. Everything is going to go willy-nilly and you need to be prepared for all sorts of backlash. If you have a project going, you might want to put it off until tomorrow. If you do take on a project, just be prepared It's a bumpy ride. Thankfully, you will learn some sort of lesson from it. These are the things we usually do.

Saturday 9-2-2017: Ace of Swords: THIS is the day to get stuff done. We're all very motivated and it's going to be a magical day. You'll definitely want to work on yesterday's project today. It's going to be amazing. And you'll have the experience from yesterday to get it done properly.

Sunday 9-3-2017: I The Magician (Reversed): This is a bad day. Bad with a capital B. If you are still working on that project, you better learn to take it slow. Maybe that's the lesson that you had to learn the past couple of days. Maybe you are just now learning these things. That might be what is going to be slow going. Just take your time.

In recap: This weekend is going to be one where you're going to need to go as slow as you can and be patient. You'll get there but it might take a while.

Lots of love,

The Darkling Tag

Greetings my little Tarot Tots!

Today I am doing a quiz so you can get to know me a little better. Of course this is a rather gothically inclined quiz, but seeing as I am a goth and like to revel in my dark dark darkity dark-ness, I figured I would do it. So here we go:

What is your favourite candle scent? Darkest Sandalwood. It's very rich.
Do you have a favourite book? I couldn't say. I think "Paint it Black" by Voltaire or the "Goth Bible" (which is a history of the gothic subculture and very informative)
Are you a tea or coffee person? Both. Mostly tea, though.
What is your favourite perfume/cologne? I'm preferable to citrusy, fruitsy scents, but also things that are a bit musky. I don't like dainty scents.
Do you have a celebrity crush? Hmm... Pinhead from Hellraiser. Totally.
 If you could change your name to a stereotypical 90s/2000s gothy name, what would it be? I already go by a stereotypical one: Raven!
What are your top three tips for surviving hot weather while black clad? sunscreen, light fabric like a cotton or a fishnet, and hydrate, hydrate, hydrate.
What song always makes you happy (doesn't have to be a goth band?) "It's Like That" by RUN-DMC
Are you active in the arts (eg. Play an instrument, paint, write, etc)? Yap. I paint, I play a few instruments, I sew, I craft, I build.... I like to refer to myself as a #hobbyhoarder
What is your number one non-gothy hobby? uh.... crochet?

Thought Provokers:

If you could be a supernatural creature, what would it be and why? I think a Lamia. I dunno. Just thought it would be kind of neat.

What horror monster-bases super power would you have? pyrokinesis? I like fire. (Heh heh fire fire Heh)

Do you feel confident or comfortable interacting with other Goths or gothy people (online or irl)? Why or why not? Of course I'm confident about talking to other goths. Other goths understand some of my thoughts so I enjoy that!

Is there something you wish there was more of in your subculture? Less drama. Damn.

Care to share an embarrassing story related to your "darkliness"? I once told someone that they should get a tattoo and didn't notice they had a sleeve. Ugh. (does that count?)

How are you at DIY? I'm alright. I do enjoy crafting in a variety of ways.

Confessional (aka True or False):

I love watching cheese romance films. False. They make me cry and that ruins my makeup. Boo.

I ALWAYS remember to was off my makeup at night. False. Sorry.

I sleep with plushies. True! I have two mouse stuffies.

I wear non-black pyjamas most nights. True. I have several pyjamas with cats on them so I wear those. They're usually night shirts.

I think Andrew Eldrich is overrated. False.

I don't like vampires. False, but I'm particular as to which kind I like.

I don't like clubs. False! Clubs are awesome!!!

I don't enjoy graveyards. False. It's a great place to have picnics with deceased loved ones and ancestors.

Blood makes me queasy. False. Bring it on.

I'd sooner faint than pet a spider. True. I do like how they look though,

I don't like haunted houses. True, if this is about like.... scare houses. If it's about real spirits I have no issue.

I've never read Dracula. True. It's such a dry read. But it's on my to-do list.

I think "Bela Lugosi's Dead" is a long and boring song. Could go either way. True, very long. False to boring. Unless you play it on repeat for hours and hours. Then we might have problems.


So that's me. I hope that enlightens people on some things about myself.

Lots of love,

Weekend Forecast 8-4-17 to 8-6-17

Hey there my little Tarot Tots!

It's time for another round of my Weekend Forecast. Today, I am reading from Florida, but this should post as I am leaving. I cannot wait for all of this to pop up on your feed. It's all very exciting after all.

Let's dive in, shall we?

Friday 8-4-17: 4 of Pentacles (reversed): Friday is going to be a process of a day. There's going to be a lot of people trying to get things crammed into your day. It's going to be insanely busy and it might even be materialistically busy. I don't doubt it, as I believe this weekend is tax free weekend in some places. It's definitely going to be quite the hassle.

Saturday 8-5-17: 9 of Wands (reversed): Looks like Saturday is not your day either. I see a lot of obstacles that need to be checked out. You're going to want to just give up what's stressing you out. I'm not sure what is stressing you out, but you definitely need to stop. You are draining your energy on this situation. Don't.

Sunday 8-6-17: King of Wands (reversed): You've left something until the last minute. A project? An assignment? SOMETHING!!! You need to pick THAT up and get to work. Procrastination does not help anyone's stress levels. You can do this. I have your back.

Lots of love for this weekend everyone. Be cautious.

Happy Lughnasadh!

Hey there my little Tarot Tots!

Today is a special day: It's Lughnasadh! You can also call this holiday Lammas. It is the mark of the beginning of the festival season. It is based on the name of the god Lugh, who was a sun god.

I can't say I can give you a ton of information on this holiday, it's not one of the holidays I typically celebrate much. This tends to be mostly Wiccan and neopagan people who celebrate this holiday, aside from the peoples of the Celtic area who would celebrate these holidays normally.

I just wanted to let out a small blurb to wish you all a happy harvest beginning.

Monday Musings- Passing the Seasons

Hey there my little Tarot Tots!

Today, I am working from a prompt (as I do very often) that is asking me this question:

"What is your favorite season of the year and why? Does it involve memories? How do you celebrate now?"

(you can find where I am picking prompts from at the prompt place.)

So this is a pretty good question. I'm sitting here enjoying the summer where I am at, but it is most definitely not my favorite season. Could be my second favorite season since you get to go swimming and I am very partial to being able to go swimming.

My favorite season of the year is autumn/fall. It's a very peaceful season and everything just seems like it is slowing down, which is nice, because I don't move very fast in the first place. The leaves are changing colours and are falling off of them like a strange rain.

Something else that is possibly the best thing about autumn is that it is the home of Halloween/Samhain; the greatest holiday in my opinion. It's the Celtic new year and the beginning of so many new things. They say it is a death festival, as it is about reconnecting with your ancestors. I've been thinking about this quite ab it lately and I don't know exactly what my thoughts are on it yet. I want to make sure I form some serious thoughts by the time this holiday comes around again.

I feel like with summer it is far too hot where I live. The other day it was about 106* plus the humidity was really high. I know that there are places elsewhere that are even hotter, and they probably have a similar thought process to me: "Summer is too hot!". Fall is just perfect because the weather is nice and calm and there is even a spot of rain here or there to cool things down even more. The closer it gets to winter, the colder it's chill, but that is better than hot, hot, hot.

I suppose the memories it invokes are ones around Halloween when my mother would make us all sorts of crazy costumes to wear out; not that she didn't make us costumes the rest of the year. We were encouraged to wear all sorts of costumes all the time and that dress up was one of the best things to do.

Nowadays, I celebrate by remembering ancestors and lighting candles and whatnot to remember the deceased and my boyfriend and my families. Recently, we lost his mother so we will be celebrating her life this year for Samhain. I think he will like that.

Thanks for listening to me ramble again. Monday musings are best musings.

Self Reading 7-30-17

Copyright Selena Lin

Hey there my little Tarot Tots!

This is just a self reading that I am doing. I think I'm going to record some of them when I feel the mood strikes me or something. Today, I figured I would do a reading because it is the last day of some of my family being on the family trip and I wanted to just share in that love. I think that the reading will show lots of love. As usual, I will not read into it until after I've gotten it typed up.

This is a three card spread. Past, present, future. It's basically all present though when I go to read it though. I am using the Manga Tarot by Selena Lin.

Card Number One: XI Justice (reversed): This shows that there are some one-sided actions going on, mostly in the category of love or family events. Things are not going fairly and should be pointed out or be resolved. A possible fight or argument. Nothing too serious.

Card Number Two: King of Wands (reversed): Consider other people a little bit more. There is someone who is causing problems mostly. This is that person. You may get into an altercation of some sort with this person. They are late to things and not quite doing the right things at the right time.

Card Number Three: Queen of Pentacles: This tends to be a more materialistic matters, but it's related to a person. Not saying this person is greedy or anything, but they might be rather needy. They always want something and just need attention.

So what I'm seeing from this spread is that I'm going to be getting into some sort of argument possibly with a friend or family member about buying something or taking care of something today. I don't think it's going to be a very serious thing. I just don't get that feeling.

Well, I need to look into this more.

Florida Post Numero Uno

Greetings my little Tarot Tots!

Today I am blogging from Florida in the USA! I am visiting family for a bit and I will be here for about a week. Expect some content being created out of sheer boredom. I may do a week or two worth of stuff that I need to work on (or have needed to work on).

My aunts have been together for quite some time now and they are finally able to get married. It's super awesome that it is legal now and that they can celebrate like other normal people.

They will be getting married tomorrow evening. I'm super excited for them, as I know that they are also very excited (of course).

So I will be working on some "Monday Musings" for you all to enjoy. There may be some Tarot lessons for you to enjoy as well. It's fun to learn and teach people to be able to read the cards on their own. Maybe I'll even talk a little bit about the differences between Oracle, Tarot, and Lenormand cards. There's quite a bit different, really!

Anyway, I'm going to chill for a bit before I go to bed to be well rested for tomorrow.

Lots of love,

Monday Musings-- Seasons

Good day, my little Tarot Tots!

It's another day in the life of a tarot reader. I was doing some searching for something to do and came across another little blurb that asks:

"What is your favorite season, and why?"

Well, I suppose I would say that my favorite season is Autumn. The reason I enjoy Autumn (Fall?) most of all is because it is the most temperate of the seasons to me. It is neither too hot, nor too cold. It even has some pretty great holidays within it, such as Halloween, or Samhain, and also Thanksgiving. Holidays are always a bonus to whichever season you decide is your absolute favorite of the seasons in your personal opinion.

I know this is a short post, but what do you think? What is your favorite season? I would love to hear from you.

Lots of love,
-Vyvyan Wormwood

Construction

Hello my little Tarot Tots!

This is Vyvyan Wormwood here (again, of course)! I wanted to let you know that I will be working on this blog a little bit more for a while. I am going to be shifting things around from my wordpress onto here. I feel like I have more responses and more tools to use on here, since I always use a free account. I have yet to see enough action to want to make it a permanent thing of course.

So I did some research and I really want to work with my blogger for a while.

Also, the reason that I have been absent is because of a few deaths of family and friends. It's a bit personal, so I'm not going to go into it too much.

Please subscribe and let me know what you think of the stuff I do now that I'm going to be on here.

I love you all!
