Okay, so today I really wanted to get my head straight on what I wanted to accomplish this week. You know, not just the usual to-do list stuff, but like, the bigger picture. I’ve been feeling a little scattered, so I decided to try something with my tarot deck, specifically focusing on the Ace of Wands. I heard it’s great for new beginnings and inspiration, perfect for figuring out intentions.
First, I cleared my space. I put on some chill music, nothing with lyrics, just some instrumental stuff. Then, I lit a candle, mostly because I like the vibe, but it also helps me focus. I shuffled my deck while thinking about what I really want to bring into my life. Not just “get more clients” but like, “find work that really excites me and feels meaningful.”
My Simple Ritual
- Find a quiet space: My desk, early in the morning before anyone else is up.
- Set the mood: Candle lit, soft music playing.
- Shuffle and focus: Shuffled the deck while thinking about my general desire for clarity and direction.
- Draw the card: and, boom Ace of Wands
I laid the Ace of Wands in front of me. I just stared at it for a good few minutes. I noticed the vibrant colors, the hand reaching out, the sprouting wand. It felt…powerful, you know? Like potential just waiting to burst out.
Then I grabbed my journal and started to free-write. I didn’t overthink it, just jotted down whatever came to mind when I looked at the card. Words like “energy,” “passion,” “creation,” and “courage” popped up. I wrote about the projects I’ve been putting off, the ideas I’ve been too scared to try, and the feeling of wanting to make a real impact.
After that, I spent some time refining those messy thoughts. I tried to turn those feelings into something more concrete. For example, “feel more energized” became “start my day with a short workout, even if it’s just 15 minutes.” “Find more creative outlets” became “dedicate at least one hour a week to working on that personal project I’ve been neglecting.”
Finally, I picked three main intentions that really resonated with me, inspired by the Ace of Wands. I wrote them on a separate piece of paper and stuck it on my wall where I can see it every day. It’s not a magic spell, of course, but seeing those intentions written down makes them feel more real, and, honestly, It is more motivated than before. It’s like the Ace of Wands gave me a little kickstart to actually do the things I’ve been dreaming about.
