Greetings, gremlins, and welcome to our weekly card pull!

As always, before we get to this week's reading, please make sure you are all nice and cozy before you continue reading this post. This is not necessarily a reflection of what card will be drawn. In fact, I'm typing this bit before I've even drawn a card. However, I find that coziness helps put me in a better space to receive whatever message the cards may have for me.

Also, please remember that this is a general reading for the collective. It might resonate with you or it might not, and that's fine. Take what you need from this or don't. It's entirely your choice.

Now that we've gone through our reading preamble, let's get into our card for the week and answer our usual question: "What do my followers need to keep in mind to live their best lives this week?"

Our answer this week comes in the form of Himself, and he is energy given form. He is vitality and creativity. Abundance. Protection. All of these things, and more. And he channels that power for the good all around him.

Things may have been happening for you all these past couple of weeks, and Himself has made an appearance to let you all know that whatever it is, it will likely come to fruition. A creative project? A passion project? Expect some energy to channel into that this week. He is here to help guide you towards the end that will be the most satisfying.

There's also some protective energy here, which makes me think that whatever this thing is may be close to your heart. It could be a person. It could be a project. Again, I don't know specifics, nor would would I be able to glean anything like that simply from a singular card. But I know it will be a good thing. So get ready and let it come.

Greetings, gremlins, and welcome to our first card pull for the month of March!

We're starting to come out of winter, so you all know what that means. That's right! Spring is right around the corner. This is always an exciting time when things start to bloom again. I'm personally looking forward to it. Are all of you?

I'm not going to lie. That might be part of the reason why I elected to make our deck for readings this month The Faeries' Oracle. March is usually when I start feeling a pull towards honoring the world around me again, and for whatever reason, that's often when I feel the most pull towards the spirits of the natural world. For me, faeries fall under that category, even though faeries are faeries and they're going to do what they want all times of the year.

I try not to question these things too much.

Now that we've gone through our reading preamble, let's get into our card for the week and answer our usual question: "What do my followers need to keep in mind to live their best lives this week?"

Our card this week is the Faery Who Was Kissed by the Pixies, reminding us to not be afraid of love or of letting it in.

The world tends to work in strange ways, and sometimes, we might get to a point where we feel like we're not capable of gaining or receiving love. Maybe some hurt has occurred in the past that makes you wary of trusting others. Maybe things around you feel too dark or depressing to even consider opening your heart to anyone or anything ever again (or, at least, for the moment).

However, love is infinite. We can make as much of it as we want.

That's not to say that your current experiences aren't valid. They are. You are allowed to feel however you feel about love.

But the answer isn't shutting it out completely. Humans are social creatures. Caring about others and interacting with them often helps people and makes them feel better. There's a chance that letting something in, even a little bit, might do that for you.

However, don't let yourselves get so wrapped up in that that you start believing you need others to make you happy because you don't. A little interaction with others, even if it's only a few minutes, can do wonders for your mood, but you also need to be able to love yourself just as you are, dark aspects and all.

So it turns out the last time I gave you all cat photos was back in November, and, well... I couldn't let another Caturday pass without giving you some adorable photos of one of my two boys.

If you're just joining us, I currently share my space with two very adorable cats.

One of them is Benji, my tuxedo kitty. Sometimes, he elects to hang out with us during stream, but not always. However, chances are very good that you've seen him whether that's on stream or in photos I share in the Gremlin Grove discord.

The other, however, is a bit more elusive: a silver tabby by the name of Lexi. Lexi is an adorable boy who enjoys being around people, but not so much curling up in laps. He'll also sometimes nap in interesting ways or unconventional places.

Most recently, he's taken to stealing my new chair when I'm not in it, which... honestly, I don't mind. It's always adorable walking into the room and just seeing him lounging in the chair.

Greetings, gremlins, and welcome to our very last card pull for the month of February! Where did the time go?

(I know, I know. February is a very short month. Ssh.)

Before we get to this week's reading, please make sure you are all nice and cozy before you continue reading this post. This is not necessarily a reflection of what card will be drawn. In fact, I'm typing this bit before I've even drawn a card. However, I find that coziness helps put me in a better space to receive whatever message the cards may have for me.

Now that we've gone through our reading preamble, let's get into our card for the week and answer our usual question: "What do my followers need to keep in mind to live their best lives this week?"

This week, our answer comes in the form of the Three of Wands, a reminder that it's okay to put ourselves out there.

In this case, one of two things are probably what's going on.

The first is that you might be one of those people who can talk themselves out of doing anything. They decide something isn't going to go their way before it even begins, and thus they never try to actually do whatever it is, even if it's something they genuinely want to do.

However, nothing ventured, nothing gained. Don't close off the garden that is you. It's okay to let it spread. Let yourself take the chance you want, even if you're terrified it might not go your way. The universe might surprise you.

The second, however, is that you have put yourself out there and you're waiting to hear back about it. You might actually get that thing you've been waiting for this week, so keep an eye out.

Greetings, gremlins, and welcome to our first weekly card pull for the month of February!

Did January feel like it went on for far too long to anybody else, or was it just me? Admittedly, I live in the United States so it might feel differently elsewhere, but here has been... interesting, to say the least. (I'm sure you all know if you've been paying attention to the news. You don't need me to tell you that.)

This is largely why I selected the Cozy Witch Tarot Deck for our divination reads this month. If the art style looks familiar, that's because it's done by the same people who did the Believe in Your Own Magic Oracle that I've been using for the past couple of months. I'm quite fond of those two decks as the art's pretty cozy and feels like a warm blanket, and, well... I think we're going to need the coziness in the coming weeks.

Now, before we get to this week's reading, please make sure you are all nice and cozy before you continue reading this post. This is not necessarily a reflection of what card will be drawn. In fact, I'm typing this bit before I've even drawn a card. However, I find that coziness helps put me in a better space to receive whatever message the cards may have for me.

Also, please remember that this is a general reading for the collective. It might resonate with you or it might not, and that's fine. Take what you need from this or don't. It's entirely your choice.

Now that we've gone through our reading preamble, let's get into our card for the week and answer our usual question: "What do my followers need to keep in mind to live their best lives this week?"

Our answer comes in the form of the reversed Five of Swords, and this feels like an interesting one for this week.

While this card could be that you're simply trying to avoid a conflict that's been following you, I don't think that's the case here. It's hard to look at this card and not feel like things have been let go.

Being more drawn to the people on this card, two situations feel more likely to me than others.

The first is that some sort of disagreement or conflict took place between multiple parties that ended with things being said and everyone feeling as though they needed to go their separate ways because of it. You might feel caught in the middle between the people involved or perhaps you were directly involved yourself, but regardless, conflict was had and quite honestly, no one won. 

Alternatively, the conflict in question took place long ago and situations have occurred that make you feel as though those old wounds are reopening. You might feel history is going to repeat itself or that you haven't really moved on from whatever brought you to this point.

In either case, the advice of the Five of Swords is the same: consider how you can create some sort of growth from this. Would it be best to create some sort of compromise between the parties involved? Is now perhaps the best time to try to contact those people you lost and bring them back in? Or are you mourning a relationship lost that would it be better for everyone involved if they just moved on with their lives?

There's no one size fits all sort of solution for this, unfortunately. As with all things, time needs to be taken to determine what works best for you, but once you figure that out, don't be afraid to move forward.
