1st Saturday (This One Card), May 2025
For those of you who want to go right to the video, here you go:
Hello, dear friends and fellow seekers!
Today marked our first Saturday of the month, and as always, I was filled with excitement for our reading. I began our session by lighting some Palo Santo, letting the sweet aroma fill the air as I expressed gratitude for all the blessings life has to offer. It’s a little ritual that sets the tone for our time together, reminding us to appreciate the good things, no matter how small.
As I prepared for our reading, I focused on finding a single card to share with all of you. There’s something special about drawing just one card; it feels intimate and personal, like a direct message from the universe. After a moment of shuffling and connecting, I found our card. To my surprise, it was one I had drawn just last week! Sometimes, the universe has a funny way of reminding us of the messages we need to hear more than once.
This card, appearing in a reverse position, represents an opportunity. I often say that when a card keeps showing up, it’s a sign that we need to pay attention. So, I leaned in and started to explore what this opportunity might mean for us.
In the imagery of the card, I noticed a character who covers the eyes of two others. This struck me as a powerful symbol. It suggests that sometimes, we need to shield ourselves from distractions or negativity to truly see what’s important. The character, with a face that exudes a sense of knowing, brings a peaceful energy to the scene. It’s a reminder that wisdom often comes from within, and it’s okay to take a step back to find clarity.
I also observed the wings or feathers surrounding this character. They could be fire feathers or perhaps leaves—either way, they hint at something otherworldly. This creature stands out from the other two figures, who seem more mundane. Yet, they all share a common bond, indicated by their similar colors. This imagery speaks to me about the connections we have with others, even when we feel different or out of place.
The presence of wings often symbolizes messengers or protectors, and I reflected on how angels are more frequently associated with delivering messages than merely providing protection. This card invites us to consider what messages we might be receiving from the universe or from our own intuition. Are we listening closely enough?
As I wrapped up our reading, I encouraged everyone to reflect on the imagery and what it means to them personally. The beauty of cartomancy is that it’s not just about the cards; it’s about how we interpret their messages in our own lives.
So, as we step into this new month, let’s embrace the opportunities that come our way. Let’s be open to the messages that the universe is sending us and remember that sometimes, we need to shield our eyes from distractions to truly see the path ahead.
Thank you for joining me today! I look forward to our next reading together. Until then, keep your hearts open and your spirits high!
See you next week!

Hello. Hello. It's time for our first Saturday of the month reading. And our
special focus on the first Saturday of the month is a single card. But we start
things off well with a little bit of Palo Santo and gratitude for the best that
life has to offer these days. And we wait for it to catch a little bit of fire
and give a little bit of smoke. That's this little bit of gift, and it smells
so sweet. For the rest life has to offer. That's what our fat sage bundle is
for. Thank goodness for both of them together. That's what makes our whole life
a gift. All right, we're looking for one card. We love one card. So thankful
for one card. If we can just find one card to share with all the Internet. Ooh,
Friends and strangers alike.

I think I found our one card. Let's see. Looks familiar. We just talked about
this last week. Sometimes that happens, especially if we're not catching the
meaning of a card. And it shows up. And it shows up, and people say, I already
had that one. Give me a different one. No, no. That's not what we do. Listen
closely to the message. As often as it returns, this card in a reverse position
represents an opportunity. What is that opportunity? Well, sometimes I like to
turn it around and look. And that's not breaking the rules. That's doing what
makes sense. We have one character who covers the eyes of two others. The two
inhabit the space with the character's chest or breast. There's a face here on
the character. When I look at it, I see knowing. The kind of knowing that's
peaceful.

I remember last week when I pointed this out, I said, what are these wings?
Fire feathers. Maybe they're leaves. This creature seems out of the world.
Unlike the other two, more mundane. They each have something in common. I see
similar colors. I see similar colors here. So I'm looking at three people that
have something in common, even though one of them is very different. A lot of
imagery around the head usually portrays wisdom or knowing or an understanding.
It comes from a spiritual place or even an emotional place. Wings or feathers
can suggest, like, angel, like a protector or a messenger. Because the truth
is, angels were most often associated with messengers than they were
protectors. It's a lot of imagery here. What does it mean to you? Look at that.
There's our little time. See you next week. Bye.
