The Eleventh Hour: A Curious Mystery | Graeme Base

pick

I was reminded of this book recently and couldn‘t remember if I‘d ever actually read it? Graeme Base feels very familiar to me as a 90s Aussie kid but I‘ve never been particularly patient (even though Where‘s Wally had me in a chokehold) so carefully searching for visual clues wouldn‘t have appealed - so it‘s very possible that I didn‘t… anyway, it‘s pretty cool (I read the answer page and made no attempt at decoding. I know who I am)

I would have liked this book if I‘d had it when I was a kid. Our main character is on a summer vacation with her family when she meets a mysterious older woman who offers to give her her heart‘s desire. Be careful what you wish for…it might come true, with unwanted side effects!

AnnCrystal Haiku Magic 👏🏼🐝👌🏼🪄🌳🤩🐝💖. 3d

lil1inblue @JenlovesJT47 I can't say I'm an expert or even "doing it right." But I kind of just started by finding a deck with artwork I liked, then just pulled a card each day. I'd read the guidebook description for the card, and used it journaling prompt for reflection. Sometimes I'll look up spreads online, and use them for a longer journaling session. Then I just kind of pick up things as I go. I like to operate on vibes. ?? 2d

lil1inblue @TheBookHippie 💓🩵💓 2d

lil1inblue @AnnCrystal Voila! 🍃🪄🍃 2d

JenlovesJT47 Thanks! I‘m going to look up some books on the subject 🤓 2d

AnnCrystal @lil1inblue & @JenlovesJT47 I'm no expert either...however, I am obsessed with all things mystical and supernatural. I use this research in my writings.

That's a good method lil1inblue and usually how Oracle cards guide. From my understanding, Intuition is your guidance.

Tarot is a bit more complicated. A beginner should probably begin with a three card reading.

You must seek a meaning:

👇🏼 2d

AnnCrystal -Past, Present, and Future
-Situation, Challenge, Advice
-Action, Reaction, Outcome
-Mind, Body, Spirit
-Do, Don't, Proceed with Caution

When buying a deck (or decks if you decide to collect them), be sure to find a new one. A deck always soaks energies from the person the cards belong to, which can wonky your read. Only those experienced in the craft would know how to cleanse these energies before being able to truly claim a secondhand deck
👇 2d

AnnCrystal Even a new deck should be cleansed. Some believe this should also be done after each reading, or moon cycle (depending on your personal beliefs). This could be achieved by placing deck where during the appropriate moon cycle (I'd have to refresh my research on which cycle is best). OR place on Crystals (or other appreciate stones with cleanser medicines). Using sea salt.

👇🏼 2d

AnnCrystal Or White Sage smoke (with caution). OR simply holding them to your chest and imagining positive energy in the form of light circle your deck.

Ok, I will leave it there. I could ramble...as you probably know ...and this should give you a starting point JenlovesJT47.

P.S. like lil1inblue stated, select a deck that you connect with JenlovesJT47. Each deck should come with a personal guide that you can expand on as you build a connection. 2d

AnnCrystal P.S.S. please do stay away from ouija boards. You probably won't find a direct answer as to why these communication boards are dangerous, but I have come to the conclusion that it is because you care granting permission to become a vessel (conduit, possession, doorway). YOU DO NOT want to grant this. DANGEROUS and can be DISASTROUS. Please heed this warning. 2d

JenlovesJT47 @AnnCrystal thank you for this! 🤗♥️I took screenshots of everything. Funny enough, I got gifted a tarot set in one of my Litsy swaps awhile back, I‘ll have to find it. And don‘t worry! I was just telling my niece and nephew last week to stay away from ouija boards! I‘ve seen enough scary movies! 😱 2d

AnnCrystal @JenlovesJT47 glad you found this info useful 👏🏼🥳👍🏼 and I'm glad you already know about the Ouija 😉👌🏼💝💝💝. 2d

Horses! | Gail Gibbons

I colored this picture and I wanted to write a story about it.

Mama and daddy horse running in the water with their little colt
It‘s a beautiful day for horses to run around outside
Nice weather makes horses feel frisky
Go horses, run. Enjoy the day running around with your baby
