Spirits of Christmas tarot spread

Hey love,  
instead of me talking to you about something I wanted to give you something practical you can use around Christmas time. I got idea for this spread from the movie called ˝A Christmas Carol˝. If your not familiar with this movie. The main  character is an old, bitter  man named Scrooge. He gets visited by three ghosts of Christmas, ghost of Christmas past,  ghost of Christmas present and ghost of Christmas future. They show him how he has and still is living his life and how his life will end. By  the end of the move he loses his bitterness and gets into the holiday season spirit. While I used the idea behind the movie for this spread, I also introduced other ideas that originate from Yule festivities and shadow work.  This spread can be used with oracle cards aswell as tarot cards.  Without any further ado here is the spread.


Past 
1. Where have I been. Past joys, sorrows and memories.  This card will show a general image of our past self. 
2. Leasons I've learned. Knowledge you have collected that you may or may not recognize. 
3. Things I still haven't delt with.  Stuff I drag  from the past. This could indicate fears or  drama that still hasn't been resolved yet.

Present 
4. How I'm different now then I was in the past. This shows us how we have changed and evolved from our past selves. How we have learned from past leasons, and what wisdom we have gained in the now moment.
5. Rebirth. Something I can do right now to become  more present with mayself.  This card will show you how to listen to your internal guidence system and utilise those messages in your life.


Future
6.  How can I thrive int he upcoming year.  This card will show you ideas, messages and advice on starting nex year and things you can focus on in order to create a magical year.  Much love xoxo

Holidays  + Tarot


Hello love I want to talk to you about using tarot during holiday season. What you may be worrying about is how can I incorporate tarot into my holiday experience. Tarot isn't a part of any ˝traditional˝ holiday . But what if you want to have a wonderful holiday experience, besides getting tarot under the chrstmas tree.  Here are a few ideas about including tarot into your holiday experience.  
1. Holiday  tarot decor.  For this just take some chrsimas decorations and create something like 3D mural with tarot. Use things like pine cones, fairy lights, ornaments  and other holiday shizzle.  
2. Having a Holiday  party or gathering.  Take your tarot and use it. This is great if your just starting and need practice but also for the ones who have been doing this for a while this can help you get feedback and see where you can grow with your tarot.  If you have someone who is sceptic or thinks you are doing devil work this is great time to show them what realy means to do tarot and how amazing it can be. 
3. Use tarot as a gift.  What I mean by this is giving indivudual cards as a gift or in adition to your greeting card. You can give a whole deck away to one person but giving individual cards can be really amazing. You can use either tarot or oracle deck for this. It looks good and it means alot. 
4. Create  tarot holiday  art. Tarot in itself is art so whay wouldn't you create a peace of holiday art that is tarot themed.  You can create anything you want. Peace of art can be a drawing, a painting, a poem, a meal you will have or a space you will dedicate for your tarot work. It's all about you creating something.  
5. Create a holiday  tarot spread.  Crazy thought, but why not  create a tarot spread. Be guided by the theme of the season but most importantly allow the spread to mirror what Christmas is to you.  Go crazy weather you will use this spred exclusively for yourself or you will use it for others. Allow the spread to flow with you.  
6. Do you! Holliday season can be very hectic and stressful. If you find unable to follow through with what you have planned. Don't despair. Do you! There is nothing bad in saying fuck everything and doing your thing. Allow yourself to be guided by what you want instead of what you should do.
I will be posting some photos that will be in adition to this post on my Facebook and Twitter. If you want to get into the holiday spirit with tarot and me defenetly check that out.  
Much love and Happy holidays. xoxo

Dealing with creative blocks

Creative blocks are a part of our experience, we can fight with them or, we can  use them as motivators. I believe that with creative blocks we can learn about ouselves and our creative process. Understanding your creativity can greatly help you grow and expand your creative ability.  Fun thing is that there are millions of  was to overcome a creative block. I am here to give you my perspective on them, if you don't find this useful don't wory, there are hundreds of thousands of other ways to flame your creativity up. It is up to you to find the one that works for you. For me I just need to get inspired. Weather that is by reading an article on a killer subject  or watching a video on youtube.  I get realy inspired by cultural knowledge. I love experinecing new things and just learning. So anything that expands my knowledge, inspires me to create. I'm realy interested in self development and I try to practice it every day in my life. 
What  I have found is that expressing your blocks can actualy eluminate and remove them. I believe  that expressing (writing, saying, drawing, exc.) your blocks enables you to overcome and understand them. Practically this would mean taking some time and allowing yourself to express yout thoughts, emotions and experiences with this creatice block. This is how this peace of knowledge has come to be. Because I'm stuck I am writing on that stuckness. Because I hate it I am trying to understand it. There is a positive intention behind every negative experience. You just need to allow yourself to find and understand that intention for yourself.   If you find yourself stuck for a long time, allow yourself to change focus.  There is nothing bad in taking some time of from one point and focusing on something else, and them coming back with fresh perspective. Don't preasure yourself. Allow yourself to flow with your creativity. 
Much love xoxo
