Today’s Tarot of Bones daily draw is the Seven of Swords. It’s fine to be an individual, but when that crosses over into misanthropy and stereotypes that’s when individuality becomes toxic. Everyone has their own story, their own thoughts and feelings, and when you spend so much time defining yourself by what you are not, you lose track of who you actually are. So take a moment to really examine your biases toward other people, for you may very well be making snap judgements based on limited experiences with them at their worst moments. Would you want someone to make up their mind about you when you’re stressed or upset or tired? No? Then perhaps extend the same understanding to others.

a seven day, self-reflective challenge inspired by florence & the machine lyrics. questions are meant to reveal inner truths and invoke contemplation of the self, and are a form of shadow work. this spread relies heavily on relinquishing control in a difficult situation so as to come out better on the other side; the questions aim to help you cope with the impact, and breathe.
pull 3+ cards per question; the questions are inspired by my own interpretation of the lyrics, so if they don’t resonate with you, feel free to personalize them to better suit your own desires in a reading
day 1: “happiness hit her like a train on a track; coming towards her, stuck still, no turning back.” what catalyst is coming for me? how can i stop being afraid and let it run it’s course? how will it benefit me, even if it knocks me off my feet?
day 2:“with your big heart, you praise god above; but how’s that workin out for you, honey? do you feel loved?” what do i need to stop ‘worshiping?’ why isnt this thing im clinging to benefiting me?
day 3:“i must become a lion-hearted girl; ready for a fight; before i make the final sacrifice.” what strengths do i need to display? what do i need to give up to make myself stronger?
day 4:“be careful my darling; be careful of what it takes; what ive seen so far, the good ones always seem to break.” how can i shield myself? who should i turn to for support?
day 5:“lay me down; let the only sound, be the overflow; pockets full of stones.” what scary thing do i currently need to give into? should i let myself drown if it means ill come out pure and clear on the other side?
day 6:“grab me by the ankles, ive been flying for too long; i couldnt hide from the thunder in a sky full of song.” what good thing do i need to stop hiding from? how should i overcome it, so that the thing i fear can become beautiful again?
day 7: “tell me what you need, oh you look so free; the way you use your body, baby, come on and work it for me; dont let em get you down, youre the best thing ive seen; we never found the answer but we knew one thing.” what will i learn from this situation? how will the outcome affect me for the better?
• please request more musicians for me to create challenges for! i plan on doing quite a few, so check out my #musiciantarot or #mystuff tags to stay updated

Don’t make yourself bound to certain meanings and “this card means this exactly” Let your intuition guide you. Feel with the cards. Let them tell you what they’re trying to tell you.
If you’re leaving your tarot cards in the full moonlight, you can pick the top card facing up to correspond with a wish or intention for the next moon cycle. For example, I went with the 10 of pentacles for wealth, financial stability, and home stability. You could go with the Lovers or ace of cups to attract love, Death to find closure, etc. It’s a nice low effort spell that works well! 😄
