A Reappearance – Welcome back to Miss Dryad…

I need some help. I’m sick of falling into sadness without a way forward. I feel as if the energies are better today than they were last night so I’ve decided it’s time to consult the cards about the issues I have been having, which I outlined in yesterday’s post. I decided to go with a simple three card spread asking “How best can I deal with my thoughts and feelings around my breakup? This is what came up…

How can I move on from this stage of sadness?

So for those of you who haven’t read my previous three posts the last four or so months have been really hard for me emotionally. In May my partner and I broke up, and this truly shook me to my core. I always saw us moving through our lives together and when I thought of my future I always saw him by my side. Travelling to Europe for the first time together, having a place we could call our own, getting our first pet, all those small things that you take for granted until you realise they are no longer possible. And while I wish things didn’t have to be this way, and that I could speak to him again, unfortunately we only have true control over ourselves and our own actions. We have no real power when someone has made up their mind.

Before I came to realise this, I decided that I needed some guidance, so I pulled out my deck, and using a lovely spread I found on Little Red Tarot, which I believe Beth got from a friend of hers, I asked, “How can I move on from this stage of sadness?”

Dipping my toes into the cold and dark waters…

So to start we are going to go back in time to when my journey with the tarot first began. Take yourself back a couple of months to late March 2015…

I’d only had my Shadowscapes deck for a couple of weeks, sifting through the cards, reading their meanings in Stephanie’s book, and online in various places. Everything was good in my life, I was so excited with my learning, literally spending every free moment with my mind at work discovering all I could. However I was scared of diving in and doing a reading. But then came the night of the 25th when something changed, when I decided to just jump in, pull a card and I wrote this in my journal…
