Tarot Reading and Ritual Reflection

I performed a deep tarot reading for a close friend who was grappling with relationship troubles and mental struggles, particularly around decisions tied to life and death. It had been a while since I’d done a reading, and I felt a craving for it, like hunger after days without food. With a team by my side, I dove in and uncovered something intense. I sensed an entity or energy around my friend—not evil, but lunar, cloaked like Darth Sidious from Star Wars, holding a lantern as if waiting for something to pass. It was sad, not scary. I realized this entity might’ve been with me all along or transferred to me during the reading, possibly from unsecured spell work in the past. I conducted a ritual to release it from both of us, adding protective measures and a smudging. It felt successful, like I might’ve saved a life.

During the scry, I saw a blue cat, a sign their spirit animal was hurting, so I committed to healing for them and others. I’m planning a big creative spell for at least 10 people, tackling things like my own financial and mental health, motivation, job prospects, education, and career goals. It’s all connected—motivation sparks cleaning, which supports stability and growth. I’m also helping others with specific and general healing needs as a collective effort. I bought a huge candle and gathered herbs and oils for this, pairing it with a protection spell to safeguard past and present work. To start, I’m cleaning my living room, kicking off a 14-day plan—one room a day—as a kind of offering. I’ll work around the witching hour under tonight’s full moon, hoping for good light and energy.
