Not that long ago I purchased a tarot book that finally gave me the confidence to start making my own spreads and WALLA!My first ever spread! I got the inspiration from a few other’s that I have seen wandering around, but I really wanted one that was more unique to my own situation. I would also love to hear feedback, so please let me know how it worked for you! :)

Sometimes I wake up or just go about my day and suddenly an anxiety attack comes on, but I have no clue what action may have caused it. This spread helps me go through the steps of revealing what happened and how to get prevent it from happening in the future. Or at least recognizing it in the first place and be able to take the steps towards improvement. Feel free to twist up the question to your liking or expand it further. 

My Anxiety Spread- also good for ptsd & depression

1. How am I dealing with the situation?
   
2. What triggered the anxiety?
3. Why do I feel stuck/trapped?
4. What am I not facing/seeing?
5. How do I work through it?

It’s one thing to be protective of what’s yours, but if you become overly protective, it can lead to loneliness and poverty. Be sure to share with others what gifts you have. You never know what gains can come from them if you open up even just a little bit.

Dear Tarot and Divination Communities of social media,

Tarot and divination has always been this outlet of inspiration, these tools that constantly help me grow and become a better me. During my use of Tarot and divination, there was always one thing that I sought to be a part of, one thing that I was lacking, and that was a community.  I know that community means a lot of different things to different people but as far as Tarot and Divination communities of social media are concerned, I find it such a profound place of expression, sharing, growing and truth. It isn’t always easy living in your truth, being accepted and feeling like you belong. I wanted to take this time to let you all in on some things that have been on my mind and heart recently.

You Are Wanted And Needed Here: I cannot count how many new blogs, and seasoned professional blogs that have helped me along my journey with divination. I learn so much from everyone’s perspective and unique way of doing things. Without your voice, your words, your videos, graphics, and perspective, I know I wouldn’t be where I am today. Your blog content and you being uniquely you has the potential to not only help yourself but other people, even if that wasn’t the original intention. You belong here. You have a place here to be yourself.

Pat Yourself On The Back: I am so proud of all of you. So many of you are just starting out on your journey and are accepting divination into your life, others are practicing readings for other people for the first time, while some of you are opening up your own shops and transitioning into the professional sphere of reading tarot and divination. There are some of you who have just reached year one in your businesses, those who have decided to purchase their first deck and those starting to get to know their deck(s), and some building beautiful Tarot and divination collections. You have no idea how incredible that is. No matter what part of your journey you are on, know that you are doing the best you can and you are right where you are meant to be.

There Are No Rules To Tarot: Let me repeat that again. There are no rules to Tarot. You can read Tarot and utilize divination any way you see fit in your life. I often see new readers become discouraged because they feel they need to do things a certain way in order to be considered valid. You are valid in every sense of the word. Still use a book while reading, that is fine. Don’t like to use the Rider Waite Smith, that is cool. This is YOUR journey. Experiment, have fun and find what works for you and let go of what doesn’t. Your relationship with your tools will always be a personal one. Tarot and divination has infinite uses. Allow your imagination to run wild. You have the final say so. Find your own voice and let it shine.

Encouragement: To all of you who have encouraged me on my journey with your reblogs, likes, comments, emails, messages, I thank you. I cannot tell you how much that means to me. I promise to try my very best during my free time to return the favor and be one of the many reassuring forces within this community that reminds you that you are amazing and your work is appreciated. I along with so many others are cheering you on!

It’s Okay To Question: You do not have to believe everything you read in books or take anything someone tells you, be it advice or information as pure fact. It is perfectly okay to have your own beliefs and to question the things you read or are told. You are free to change your mind or not agree with something if it doesn’t feel right.

Your Worth: You are important. It doesn’t matter if you only have ten followers on Tumblr, only make one sale in your shop every month or have five subscribers on YouTube. Your worth as a tarot reader or diviner is not based on those numbers. Similarly, there are going to be people out there that are going to try and bring you down because you are just being you, because you don’t do things the way they do,  because they disagree with your practices or they just don’t like you for reasons you may never know. Do not allow others to remove your joy of Tarot and divination. Do not allow mean people to try and diminish your worth and stop you from being the best reader you can possibly be.

You Are Not Alone: To the many of you who are forced to hide their divination tools from family or friends, the people who feel conflicted about using divination because of their upbringing or previous/current religious beliefs, to those who hide their decks in shoe boxes under their bed, and those who can only be readers on the internet because they can’t be open about it in their everyday life, It is okay. You are loved. I and so many people are here for you. You are no less of a diviner or Tarot reader.  

I am so happy to have a safe and welcoming space online to nerd out with Tarot. With your consent, I wish you all the very best. Thank you for being part of my journey, thank you for allowing me to be part of your journey and thank you for reading this incredibly long post. 

Love Always,
Ivan Ambrose ( @tarotprose)

$22 Twin Flame Tarot Readings. There are major shifts happening for all twin flames!!

PLEASE DO NOT REMOVE CAPTION

When I first started reading tarot I had all these reservations and newbie mistakes that I sometimes made for YEARS. Don’t be like me, learn how to read tarot, be confident and understand that the good comes with the bad. And you’ll be an expert tarot reader in no time. 

Tarot is a tool for YOUR intuition - I don’t know why, but this really didn’t resonate with me right away. I would second guess, re-read, and not use my intuition when interpreting  the cards. In the end that cause some really inaccurate readings then if I would have just used tarot as a tool to grow my own intuition and spiritual feeling. 

Don’t stress read - I know I know we all do it. Madly shuffle the cards then start pulling whenever things start to go array. Let me be the first to tell you that is not an accurate reading. That is just you stressing out pulling cards in a fury that will only lead to more stress. 

Take time to meditate and clear your mind beforehand - Don’t come into a reading with a cloudy head. If you really want to get a good read, spend a few minutes clearing your mind before you shuffle your deck. 

There are no bad readings - I repeat, there are no bad readings. Even horrible tower falling outcomes are just the start to something new and better. If you do get an outcome from a tarot spread that is less than favorable breath and take it one day at a time. 

There are also no bad tarot cards - Just like there are no bad readings, there are no bad cards. Endings are just beginnings in reverse. So even if your BFF is stabbing you in the back with the 5 of Swords, don’t worry it’s just your spirits getting rid of them for you. 

Get to know your decks beforehand - Each deck sometimes has a little personality. Spend some time with them, know them, see how they read for you before you jump in with all the important stuff. 

Meditate with cards you feel drawn towards - Do you really vibe with the High Priestess? Or maybe it’s The Hermit for you. These cards could be your archetype. Pull them out, meditate, feel their answers and seek guidance from them. 

Take breaks from reading - I am a huge advocate from taking a break from tarot. Sometimes you need to change it up, put it down or just step away for a few days or a year. Whatever it is take time away if and whenever you feel the need to. 

Use tarot as a tool for manifesting - Ask questions, lots and lots of questions about different outcomes. If you don’t like the outcome, change your question or change your mind and ask again. Once you get the desired results stick to it. 

Don’t read for free, but practice - I see so many new tarot readers reading for free online. Don’t do it! Your time is precious and if someone wants a free reading, they can lean it themselves. 

Don’t skip knowing your shadow self in a reading - One of the best things you can do is learn exactly who you are, and you can’t do that without knowing all the parts of yourself you’ve rejected. Use the tarot to get to know yourself in the shadows too. 

The cards never lie - Never. Ever. 

Reshuffling won’t bypass a reading you didn’t like - Don’t get yourself trapped into ‘clarity’ cards. That’s shuffling and asking the same question again and again for clarity, or until you get the answer to the question you want. Sure ask for clarity ONCE when you don’t really understand, but don’t ask again and again just to see what you want. 

Don’t wait to start tarot - If you feel called to read tarot, start now! You don’t have to wait for someone to gift you a deck (who started that bad rumor anyway?!) 

Confidence is key - This also took me a long time to ‘get’. Read with confidence. You are a badass witch. You have stepped outside to do so much spiritual growth, why would your card reading reflect any different? 

Your tarot reading is not the end all be all - Tarot is subjective, not prophecy. So change your mind and change your future. Nothing is set in stone.
