Carrie I absolutely loved this post. What you shared resonated with me so so deeply. I've also found myself in judgement around what others are saying or not saying, as well as getting into self-judgement around how I have (not) responsed on social media. At the moment my nervous system and mental health can't handle the comments section of the posts I have resonated with, and so instead of put myself in the spotlight I chose to share other people's wise, beautiful words on my stories and a few small other clues pointing to my stance on all this. This was my own personal protection practice. Of course this means they disappear quickly and I'm sure many of my followers didn't see them. If you feel called I would love to hear more of your personal thoughts and process in this way. Thank you again for this piece! xxxx
This was such an unexpected and beautiful arrival in my inbox, a piece of writing that I truly appreciated. It's really hard at the moment to make sense of all the sh*t that's happening across the world on a macro and micro level. On bad days, it's overwhelming, and on good days I just end up feeling guilty for enjoying life when everything is on fire around us. You've inspired me to take out my cards today. Thank you, and keep shouting into the void!
Utterly beautiful writing. As someone who has spent a lot of life purely in teaching mode I now revel in being vulnerable. Tarot helps me to walk a line between knowing and unknowing that I love.
I appreciate your willingness to be aware of how you want to position yourself, what feels right to you, as you are out in this internet world. I have struggled with this since I started writing my own Substack (with no prior blogging or other internet presence as a writer). My position has been that the writing I do reveals a great deal about me without offering my personal life up for display. I kinda think of my writing approach as a mixture of the Fool, Queen of Swords, with a bit of Hierophant thrown in. But that’s today’s perspective... (it changes often). In any case, thank you for your presence. I am enjoying it.
This is resonating strongly with me. It is all so much, and that’s just psychological. I’m not being physically bombed or held hostage. And yet the stress is real. It’s ok to not be ok right now.

"Tarot helps me to walk a line between knowing and unknowing" this is perfect, thank you.

Thank you for ‘rehumanizing’ through the lens of your own story/practice. Wands and swords and towers and worlds. And the reminder; We are one. 💖
