Electronic Lammas Tarot Reading

This heathen/pagan holiday is celebrated around the world and has many names. For this swap, we do one tarot reading for our partner and send either by message or email. The theme for the reading is FIRST HARVEST where we honor what is in our lives that brings us personal growth.

Around the world: ROMANS rededicate public and private temples to Victoria Virgo, goddess of Victory for all they have received. JEWISH CULTURE celebrates Tisha B'Av or 1st ripe corn. GHANA hoots at hunger during Homanwo Festivals. RUSSIANS celebrate each day in August in thanksgiving for crops (Aug 1-Honey; Aug 6-Apples; Aug 16-Nuts, etc.). IRELAND celebrates the Bron-trogain. Bron=bringing forth and Trogain-Earth. GERMANY honors the first fruits of the wheat harvest through Hlafmaesse or loaf mass, making buns and bread with a cross on the top that is broken and laid out on the 4 corners of their land to ensure blessings.

HOPI honor human fertility and bountiful harvest during the Marua Dance. Others celebrate with Green Corn festivals where it is a time for renewal, settling conflicts, forgiving debt and ensuring peace.

Each of us has a culture or tradition that may have been forgotten. You can find your place in the wheel of the year.

For this reading, set your sacred space as you would like, shuffle your deck, cut it 3x to the left and lay out 6 cards. You simply look at the pictures to get the message of the card. The layout is like a wreath that is a never ending circle. Start with the first card at the bottom and go around the wreath spacing them equally apart.

Name the cards you draw or send a pic of the spread for your partner to see for themselves.

Card #1=Grounding. What you need to keep both feet on the ground so that you can function in the mundane world. It shows your daily life.

Card #2=Attitudes about your work. Are you following your hearts desire or just surviving? Are there hints to a true calling?

Card #3=Financial attitudes. If money is energy, is yours blocked or flowing freely?

Card #4=Relationships. Can reveal isolation, need for forgiveness, repair broken interactions. Here is where one might look for peace for self and others.

Card #5=Health. This is a card that shows how you take care of yourself. (court card is the healer; wands is a healing touch; cups is dream work; swords gives you self-help books or seminars; pentacles is about nutrition and exercise)

Card #6 is First Harvest. What needs weeding in your life that may not be useful? What can you make with what you bring into your life? Can you dance? Are you honoring the sacred? Do you remember your ancestors and what they brought into your life for your greater good?

No flakers. Be kind. Share what you see. Trust your instincts.
