Night Two of Hanukkah
This brings us to night two of Hanukkah! Those of you who celebrate, how did night one go for you?
For me, I think it was insightful and had the shadow work vibes all over it! Definitely check out my previous post, if you want to read more!
So, the light of night two is associated with self-esteem. Joy because who doesn’t want to jump right into that. It’s probably going to get even more shadow work-y up in here with tonight’s spread!
I’ll still be using my Sefirot Tarot by Eliot Baum, Georg Hobmeier, Viv Tanner, and James Patton, and published by Hay House.
Okay, so I was shuffling out my cards for each question, and I pulled the justice card for the first one. I thought maybe I didn’t shuffle properly from yesterday’s pulls, so I put it back in and shuffled again, to just re-pull the same damn card. OKAY, JUSTICE, YOU WIN, I HEAR YOU!
1- What is stopping me from believing in myself? Justice
Clearly my interpretation from yesterday! The guidebook for this card interprets justice as judging ourselves. That we all judge ourselves whether we want to or not. I feel like that rings true for myself. Especially, with yesterday’s reading. Like the thing I consider wrong towards myself is negative self-talk. Speaking to myself in the wrong way that lowers who I am as a person in my mind.
2- Where is this coming from? 6 of cups
With the 6 of cups, I consider this to be my past. But I think specifically my teen past rather than actual childhood, which is what this card is linked to more. Things from my teen years definitely feel a little less resolved, which I think a lot of my negative self-talk and self-esteem issues stem from specifically. I’ve been meaning to look into inner teen work for this purpose. I guess this is finally my excuse?
3- What can I do to change this? 7 of swords
The 7 of swords is typically the sneaky, trickster, lying, thievery card. I think in relation to the other cards, I just need to stop playing myself. I’m in this situation from my own making. I just need to see the harm that I’m causing myself, stop lying to myself about it, and knock some sense into myself to fix it. Hence, shadow work.
Wow, my cards called me out tonight! Sigh
