For those not on Instagram, here is a roundup of my challenge posts so far this month…
7th April 2019
So for @eroebuckjones / @connectwithyourdeck #ConnectWithYourDeckChallenge this month, Feeling April Foolish, I’m continuing to work with the Tarot of the Sidhe by Emily Carding.
What do you want right now?
Tarot of the Sidhe by Emily Carding
Dancer Seven – Illusion’s Depths…. Yeah, I cannot deny I would love to escape into my own fantasy world, even though I know that’s just not practical. So this is definitely a “want” and not a “need”. On the upside, later today I’ll be at a Pathfinder Society meeting, so I guess I will be slipping into a fantasy world for a little bit after all 😂

When will you be good enough?
Tarot of the Sidhe by Emily Carding
I have to love the Tarot of the Sidhe’s way of answering this question. You want a timeframe? Here have a timeframe!
I’ve multiple ideas of how to interpret this answer, from the literal, to referring to upcoming surgery and post-surgery recovery, to something a bit deeper regarding my own self esteem.

What are you stressed about today?
Tarot of the Sidhe by Emily Carding
I admit, I don’t actively feel stressed today….tired yes, but given I finished work at 10pm last night and was back in at 8am this morning, that’s really not surprising. So I think Judgement is speaking about something much deeper that I don’t tend to think about, but I’m sure my higher self does.

What are you proud of in your life?
Tarot of the Sidhe by Emily Carding
I do not let my nightmares control me, and while I’ve never really considered it something to be proud of, I guess the Tarot of the Sidhe thinks differently.

How do others perceive you?
Warrior Five – Action Frustrated beings up some truths I normally keep out of mind. I struggle to maintain my health and happiness, and my desire to have my workplace running smoothly can make me a little petty and competitive. My ambition has been stunted due to obstacles in my path, and this has left me frustrated. I fear I take my frustrations out on my colleagues sometimes.

How confident are you to make decisions.
Dreamer Four – Restoration lets me know that when I am calm and balanced, I have no problems making decisions, but when it’s an on-the-spot thing, then I’m not confident in my ability to make a decision. If forced to do so, I will spend ages wondering if I made the right decision.
13th April 2019
Are you confident to name your boundaries?
Now I *could* name my boundaries, but they shift. They run in cycles, emerging like a dream, only to disappear like illusions.

What makes you special and unique?
I do love the fact that The Dancer – Water jumped from the deck while I was shuffling. It’s a card of expression and spirit, and I’m currently sat here with blond hair because I’ve decided to dye it blue/green to better express my inner dragon-self!
I guess the way I personally embrace my inner dragon-self is rather unique to me. Even though I know other dragonkin who also embrace their inner-dragon, because their dragon-self is different to mine, it makes each of us unique.
(The lovely Elizabeth kindly gifted me a copy of this month’s challenge workbook after seeing my Instagram post, so I’ve been using it for keeping track of my draws this month ^_^ If you wish to pick up the original Connect With Your Deck Journal you can do so here, and you can find the April challenge workbook here.)
