Free Tarot Readings!

Hello!

I am very new to this site, but I would like to offer free tarot readings! I made this blog after I went through a traumatic period in my life and discovered I am quite clairvoyant! I have given readings to my family and friends, but now I want to branch out! Since I am new, I want to offer free tarot readings until I establish some credibility in the community! If you would be interested in receiving a private reading, please feel free to message! If that isn’t your thing or you aren’t interested, consider sharing this with a friend who might! I really want to practice my craft so I can help more people along in this crazy reality we call life. 

I primarily use druid and wiccan themed tarot decks, as well as dragon oracle cards. I additionally use charms and picture cubes in my readings too, which I think give them a unique twist! c:

((Obviously I can give more personal details about myself when you message, I just fear the internet sometimes))

Even if you don’t want a reading, HaVe a GOoD aSS DaY!

My mood for this month, specially because i have a bunch of homework and tests, at least after November is finished I will only have to prepare for my final exams and be free until March!!! Summer wait for me!

I've been feeling really badly recently. For some context I'm in my firmest semester at uni and I have got like good but not excellent grades, and this week, I mean yesterday, I got two news, first m, I must do my chemistry exam which I was hoping to exempt, but I didn't, and not only that, but also I wrote an email to my teacher and the teacher assistant cause I didn't get all the score I should have gotten in one of my answers of a test, but the assistant said that I was wrong and he corrected everything all right in my test, and just because he's a little piece of shut I will have to do the chemistry test. Second, I got my linear algebra grade and I got 70/100, so is not that bad, but a friend of mine told me he got a 100, in that moment I felt really down, because its like everything in my life the past months and even years feels like I can't be good enough, like the things I do are not perfect enough or my mind is not perfect or my thoughts or anything, and I the only way I don't feel like this is been the best or almost the best, cause is like i can never be the best, like I can't get to that high point where I do things in an extremely good form. Its so exhausting feeling like this, like you can never ve good enough, that you can't get people to notice you or if is bit about people noticing you is that I feel like I can't be as good as those who ate close to me, I can't be as good as them.

I got diagnosed with depression a few months ago and I was feeling really good, but the past weeks it feels like I've been slowing down, as if my mind my feeling my thoughts are being really slow and I can't do anything to motivate myself. I've tried texting to some people from school and uni m, but they don't answer at the moment (what i mean is when I'm feeling like talking or in a good mood) and when they do im really down and not wanting to test anybody cause I'm studying or im too down, for example I have this friend that I've known for 12 years and I haven't seen her since the beginning of the pandemic, but when she takes sooo long to reply to my messages, and it feels like everyone does, and I'm so tired of feeling lonely or people like ignoring me, I know I'm not the centre of the universe but it feels utterly sad and awful, the sensation that you are completely alone and there's no one there for you and your parents can't understand you, my mom can't understand these feelings and my dad is so isolated from the world that you can't talk to him without him saying "I feel better alone" I don't wanna be alone, I don't, but is like I am and I hate it... and I can't stop thinking that I shouldt feel this way and that nobody can gear me crying or see me sad... im so scared and afraid of showing my feelings, is like they are so wrong and I don't know what to do or feel

Now it's the correct time!!

yesterday i got vaccinated and i woke up with a headache and pain in my arm, now I'm feeling better and also, i spent all the morning finishing my chemistry report for Friday, I wrote like 4 pages of it and is almost finished, i still haven't finished the introduction and conclusion, but I think I can do that at night or tomorrow after my algebra exam.

OMFG I never imagined that I was going to find something like this here!!!!!!! I'm so fucking excited about this!!!!!!! I think this is a very good review of the movies, congratulations!!!!!!!

i watched the “three colors” trilogy (1993-1994)

i hope posting a whole series is allowed, because i saw all three in one sitting, and i really wanna talk about all three of them.

the trilogy was directed by Krzysztof Kieślowksi (RIP), loosely using the three main ideas of the french revolution (liberty, equality, and fraternity or togetherness), and each color represented in each movie corresponds to the colors on a french flag.

three colors: blue, as melancholy as its name suggests, tells a story of a grieving woman as her husband, renowned european composer, and her daughter had both died in a car accident. throughout the film we see her try to find liberty from the deaths, first she tries an unsuccessful suicide, then she tries to destroy all traces of her old life, even destroying an unfinished piece of music from her husband, and moving to a different city. the unfinished piece of music haunts her, however, and by the end she gives in and finishes the piece with her new love, her husband’s former assistant, signaling her liberty from grief finally. apart from the music, there are several instances of her denying the past, as to not confront the sadness of grieving, and as she meets more people with connections to the accident and her husband, she slowly embraces her situation, and through doing good deeds for them, she was able to let go.

personally, i think blue might be my favorite of the trilogy, the story of grief is most personable and relatable for me. the soft and elegant cinematography only elevates how delicate this story is. one of the most memorable shots for me was the extreme close up of julie’s face as she watches their funeral, and how it slowly tilts down to her quivering lips. might be my favorite shot out of the trilogy.

three colors: white is the “easiest” story to digest out of the three, following the theme of “equality”. it tells a story of a divorced polish immigrant who got fucked over by his french ex-wife. after being smuggled back to poland, he develops a revenge plan to get back at his wife. given how unrealistic and faster place this movie was, it made for the most entertaining movie of the trilogy. the juxtaposition of how pitiful the protagonist was at the beginning to the slow reveal of his true character was great. although my flaw with this movie was how underdeveloped the wife’s character was, because during the entirety she was shown to only care about sex instead of love, but the ending shows that she was willing to forgive him for framing her and getting her thrown in jail, even wanting them to get back together. apart from the dark humor and entertaining story the ridiculous amount of charisma from the lead was great to watch.

three colors: red is universally known to be the best of the trilogy, and i could understand why. following the theme of togetherness, its a story of a part-time model who befriends a retired judge who has been doing some shady stuff. valentine is one of my favorite characters, possibly in all of cinema. her kindheartedness and inability to be judgmental while also being a very complex character was refreshing to see in a trilogy that is so heavily themed. the movie isn’t just the most visually stunning movie of the trilogy, its also the most technically amazing one, with its use of precise crane shots. the ending also provides a perfect closure the the entire trilogy and emphasizes the themes of togetherness even more.
