Please, anybody join in…I can do tarot pulls on my own at home…anybody wish to participate?

Oct 14: What do I need more of?
King of Cups: join in more, don’t play it so safe
The Star: balance, hope, look within & without for answers; let my light shine
Justice: balance
Pretty spot on. I have been guarded for a long time, and balance would help immensely in my life. I need to step out of my comfort zone a bit. My life is usually chaos… I caregive for some of my adult children, so we’re always off to another appointment. My husband is trying to tackle diabetes and other health issues… so another one I need to prioritize. Been fighting depression for years… I need a little balance to let my therapies work better.
Witchy Wednesday Turamare,
I love the read!! thank-you for joining.

Thoughtful Thursday,
Google image–Tarot today–How do I prevent burn-out?
reversed…solitude, time alone, NOT with “my tribe”This seems kind of obvious…I need to spend time thinking of myself, not what others think of me…
Well, today is court for DV…wish me luck!! (being on the bus, gonna take me 3 hours just to get to court…looks to be an all-day affair 
)
Lady Gene 
Good morning Lady Gene,
I’m waiting for my new deck to arrive – by Fyodor Pavlov and it’s gorgeous! Until then, I’ll settle for an online pull… “How do I prevent burn-out?”
Judgement (reversed): Evaluating past actions and not liking what I see. Negative self-perception.
Queen of Cups (reversed): Forgiveness and grace are given to others but not myself.
Ace of Wands: Possibility, inspiration, new energy.
Synopsis: Viewing my past actions without forgiving myself weighs down my present and future decisions. I forgive others for similar behavior but withhold it from myself. A rising energy and drive spur me to allow grace and mercy for my future decisions.
Blessed be,
~ Lisa
Whoa…love it!!!

Oct 15 What do I do to prevent burnout?
Well, this is a common occurrence in my life. Burnout? What’s burnout? LOL
Queen of Wands: I am strong enough to do whatever is necessary. What am I waiting for?
Page of Cups: Hello ADHD. I am always jumping from one obsession to another. Is this working for me?
Wheel of Fortune: Pay attention! What am I missing that’s right under my nose? If I don’t choose (OMG, choices! Ugh!), the universe may choose for me. Or maybe something unexpected is going to happen?
Welcome to my life. It’s good to have the reassurance that I’m stronger than I may think. I have no clue how to stop jumping from obsession to obsession… I wish I could just stick with one, but how can I possibly choose when there are so many possibilities that sound amazing???
I know exactly what you mean!
And… Happy birthday, btw. 
Judgement (reversed): Fear and self-doubt may be getting in the way of making good decisions, and delay may cost opportunities.
Knight of Wands: Things are going better than expected. Feeling full of energy, confidence and brave but rash when it comes to making decisions.
Page of Wands: Good news and bright ideas. A tendency to rush into new plans; a playful, optimistic cheerful attitude when the news arrives. Fearless and free-thinking.
Reading: While doubt colored my perception of the authenticity of those asking for grace, I resisted offering same as I frequently put the needs of others before my own. Now I look on these entreaties as gratifying and inspiring although I must temper my outpourings with foresight. I can even look forward to helping folks in future and still take care of myself.
~ Lisa
NOTE: These are images from my new deck. I took a photo of the pull but it came out really fuzzy and I wasn’t able to get a better pic. 
It took a while to gather my thoughts about today’s pull, but here they are.
Eight of Coins (pentacles): Through hard work, diligence and dedication to one’s craft or vocation, goals are achieved.
The Sun: Carefree, liberated, and self-assured is the feeling you’re experiencing now.
Justice: Actions have consequences, truth and integrity are valued in others. Balance is essential.
Reading: I’ve worked hard all my life. At one point, I called myself a “Jill of All Trades” and master of none. This is changing as I pursue knowledge of my chosen path and focus on my craft. I must remember to moderate my deep dives and take care of other aspects of my life as well. Balance!
P. S. This is why Lady Gene does this so much better than I do… I completely forgot to mention yesterday’s question which was, “What fear do I need to face?” And I don’t think I addressed it in my reading either. Sorry folks. 
Super Sunday Witchy Wonders,
Google Images-Tarot today -How should I find calm when I am feeling chaotic?
poverty, loss, worry, insecurityWell, this card almost looks wrong for the question—How should I find calm when I am feeling chaotic?
No matter how frazzled I become, I need to remember that it can always get worse, so take a breath, slow down and try to relax.
This card was difficult for this read.
Sorry, I missed the last few days…needed some down-time.
Lady Gene 
Magickal Monday,
Google images, tarot today -What lesson has my family relationships taught me?
Wow, I made these questions last month…today is a doozy.
foundational shift (but not the end of the world) community, I refer to this card as “my tribe”What lesson has my family relationships taught me? For those of you who know what has been happening, this question seems very fitting.
The first card shows that relationships can and will change. The foundation may fall apart but all is not quite lost. (Family relationships with mother growing up and husband now, have had significant changes, but I am still here, and plugging along.) Since my real family have let me down so much and so often, I need to find solace and comfort in those I have chosen to be my family, my tribe. And that includes y’all here at Pagan Grimoire helping me through a difficult time here.

Terrific Tuesday Tarot Talkers,
Google images, tarot today - How can I make peace with my inner critic?
free spirit, adventure, excitementThis may sound arrogant, but I hardly have an inner critic. That is not to say that I do not regret some things that I do, or have done, but I never found it necessary to berate myself for something. I look at it, admit what I have done, and try to do better and move on. So this question was a little counter-intuitive for me.
Here is my read–How can I make peace with my inner critic?
Why criticize myself? I have ideas, excitement, potential, so I look at this things and do not dwell on my mistakes. (as for constantly kicking myself in the butt, that is useless, I recognize my mistake and move forward.)

What do I need to stop obsessing over?
daydreams, illusion, wishful thinkingWhat do I need to stop obsessing over?
This seems to fit the bill, I am on the way to the lawyer. I need to stop obsessing about the illusion of my marriage, and the wishful thinking that I used my intelligence to see it sooner.
This is all in the past, I need to let it go!!! By continually obsessing about it, I am keeping it (the marriage) alive, and it has already died and I need to bury it and move on.
Lady Gene
PS–this is no fun doing this alone. someone, join in
Oooooh! Asking for help and obsession are certainly hot buttons for me. Here goes:
Four of Coins: Holding on to material possessions, people, or past issues. Blockage, obstruction.
Ace of Coins (rev): Lack of resources influences behavior negatively. Absence of forethought.
Two of Swords (rev): Overwhelming stress, emotional or mental turmoil. Lies exposed.
Reading: What do I need to stop obsessing over? My tendency to hoard objects and relationships of sentimental value is getting in the way of my growth. They have been attributed with more weight than they are worth. Yet I feel I don’t have the internal resources to rid myself of these hindrances. To make well thought-out decisions, I need to divest myself of relationships that don’t serve me and the idea of that stresses me out. Developing a calm and objective attitude toward getting rid of burdensome relationships so I can minimize my stress levels and encourage less acquisitive behaviors is warranted.
Having fun yet, LG?
Wow RedNorcal,
Did you draw this for me??
Yup, lawyer (3 hrs on bus, roundtrip) and need more papers. If I get them on time, going back; if not, tomorrow morning.
Loving Life–actually YES!!!
Lady Gene
Yep. Wednesday’s pull was definitely a doozy but also spot on. Here’s my take:
You’re actively extricating yourself from a nasty, abusive relationship which has (past tense) caused you to feel trapped or restricted. The cosmos is telling you otherwise. You have options and you’ve chosen to see beyond the illusion created by “The Devil.” You are in control. You are retaking your power.
How’s that?
Love it, baby!! You know I need that!! And I need it. Having to go through the last 6 months of credit card receipts and organize how much was for food, clothes and personal. Since, I pay for everything on the card. But, my son has the bills, electric, cell phones, computer…he just tells me how much is my 50% and I pay him cash, since it comes out of his bank account. I only have a paper, signed ledger of his and my signatures of how much I paid for the month. I have it almost 2 years long. So, I have to figure all this out, and then average it for each month. Then take these papers [of my figures] and the paper receipts from the credit card companies, because I do not do anything online. But, ,hey, cheaper in the long-run for me, there is very little that they have to figure out. I already gave them an itemized list of what they asked for…bank accounts, credit card numbers…they said they needed the online reports. I’m like, I do everything snail mail. So her I am, itemizing everything. Just did one month (I’m almost done with 4 credit cards, I think I already figured out about 20 statements so far) and added it up 4 times and came up with 4 different results [yep, the long way, by hand, pen and paper]…so it’s time for a break.
Lady Gene 
windy and drizzly today…I made it back from the lawyer this morning, about 45 minutes before the downpour.
