Hello, everyone! Welcome to another fourth Saturday, where I dive into the world of card readings for a random Internet stranger. Today, I felt particularly inspired and excited to share some insights that came through during my session. So, grab your favorite beverage, get comfy, and let’s explore what the cards had to say!
As I started the reading, I set the mood with some palo santo and sage. There’s something magical about the sweet smell of palo santo, and I’m always grateful for the cleansing properties of sage, even if it’s a bit stinky! It’s a reminder that not everything that smells bad is bad; sometimes, it’s just part of the process.
Now, onto the cards! I shuffled them with intention, but sometimes, despite all the shuffling, the same cards pop up. And guess what? That’s exactly what happened today! I believe this is a sign that the messages are particularly relevant for us right now.
One of the key themes that emerged was about carrying our own fire and being our own advocates. I felt a strong urge to remind us that sometimes we need to "toot our own horn." It’s easy to shy away from self-promotion or to feel like we should keep our accomplishments quiet, but the cards encouraged us to speak up! We have opportunities waiting for us, and it’s time to embrace them fully.
As I looked deeper into the imagery of the cards, I noticed symbols of messengers—winged creatures that often signify communication and connection. This made me think about how we can all be messengers in our own lives. Whether it’s sharing our thoughts, feelings, or creative ideas, we have the power to convey our truths to the world.
I also sensed a nurturing energy in the reading, suggesting that I might be speaking to a mother or someone who embodies that caring spirit. There’s a beautiful reminder here about embracing our natural selves and allowing our true essence to shine. The imagery of a spiral and a feminine form resonated deeply, encouraging us to celebrate our individuality and the unique paths we each walk.
As I wrapped up the reading, I performed a smudging ritual, using sage to push away any negativity and palo santo to invite in gratitude and positivity. It felt like a perfect way to honor the messages we received and to set the intention for the days ahead.
So, dear friends, let’s carry our flames high and be bold in expressing who we are. Let’s embrace our opportunities, share our voices, and remember that we are all messengers in this beautiful tapestry of life. Until next time, keep shining your light!

Hello, hello. Welcome to the fourth Saturday. It's time for a reading for an
random Internet stranger. Oh, listen to that. Isn't that fun? By the way, I've
added a new prop. Speaking of props, and more than props. First we start out
with some palo santo. In gratitude for all life has to offer, we do. This is
for all of life's best sweet smell. And for the rest of life has to offer, we
have big old fat stinky sage bundle. Stinky is an adjective that doesn't have
to mean something's wrong with it. I'm grateful for stinky sage. Now, on to
finding something for Internet strangers. There are so many different ways to
shuffle cards, to choose cards, and I've been wanting to play with that and
show you know, just a lot of different ways to do things.

But in the interest of putting on a good show for YouTube, I always shuffle and
pick cars at random. But as readers, sometimes I just dump them over face up.
And I say pick the three that mean something to you, that look like something
to you. Or the four or the two or the one or the seven. Who knows? So there's
just so many options. If. If you are someone being told there's only one way to
do it, I say good luck to you, random Internet stranger. I think, I think
that's it. Sometimes that's it. Sometimes we just find it suddenly. Okay,
random Internet stranger. Oh, look at this. We've had this before. Sometimes
that happens in spite of all the shoveling. Random Internet stranger, I believe
there is an opportunity for you. I'm seeing, like carry your own fire, carry
your own flame.

Thinking of a thing. People say something about being your own torture bearer.
Or being your own, like tooting your own horn. But people say, I don't mean
toot my own horn. Well, sometimes you have toot your own horn. Sometimes you
have to speak up and self advocate and say your thing. I think you have an
opportunity. Yeah, there's a couple of. There's some symbols here about
messengers. Winged creatures, often messengers. I don't want to get into it
anymore. There it is. Sometimes I gotta move on. There's a weird lighting thing
happening here. Probably because there's a candle. Who knows? I guess AI
doesn't know how to handle this lighting setup. AI, sometimes we just got to be
goofy. Maybe that's part of this too. Well, here we are. You know, I definitely
see bird face here. Bird faces wings. Wings is messenger.

Messenger is angel. Look at this raw image. I see nakedness. I see an
encouragement to Be your natural self. Toot your own horn. Carry your flame.
Carry your own torch. Say, okay, I am going to be me out loud. There's a lot of
imagery here. I'm seeing this circle, this spiral, the spinning around the
lower belly. A very feminine form. I'm thinking I'm talking to a mother. Oh, my
gosh. The time goes so fast. Oh, there's even the slightest amount of beeping
even though it's on silent mode. Can you hear it? Yeah. If you want to hear it
in person, why not make an appointment? Come on over, show on up till then. Oh,
I actually want to do my. I'm gonna remember. Do my smudge. Okay, let's see.
Let's do them in the reverse order.

Let's back out the room the way we walked in. Why don't we. Oh, boy. Don't put
that light out. No, we don't. But we start with that sage bundle for all the
rest. Whatever. Just doesn't. We would like to push out, you know, push away. I
don't know. And then Palo Santo in gratitude for the best. Nice. All right,
Tulu.
