Sometimes you just want to lay in the sun and vibe with the Universe… until the heat kicks in and you realize you’re not built for full-on solar worship. That was me earlier today. I had this romantic idea of sunbathing in my backyard, letting the light soak into my skin while I maybe caught some inspiration for writing or witchy work. But after about ten minutes of baking, I was over it.

Still, I didn’t want to go inside. I wanted to feel connected—to the Earth, the unseen, and maybe my spirit guides if they were down for a chat. So I grabbed my oracle decks, brought them outside, and settled into the shade with the intent to pull a few cards. No questions, no agenda—just open to whatever wanted to come through. And let me tell you… what came through felt loud, true, and a little bit like spiritual surveillance (in the best way).

Here’s what unfolded, in three parts.

Deck 1: Work Your Light – Priestess Vibes and Cosmic Clarity

Pulled 5 cards: Priestess, Leap, Mintakan, Yes, Birthing a New Age

Right out the gate, this deck gave me big “Get ready, witch, because you’re about to level up” energy. The Priestess card was basically a mirror—asking me to reflect on how I’m showing up in my spiritual life and reminding me that I don’t have to wait to lead. I am the ritual. I am the channel.

Then came Leap, Mintakan, and Yes—a trio that felt like divine cheerleaders pushing me forward. Leap off the cliff, the Universe will catch you. Yes, you’re meant for this. And Mintakan… that hit deep. That card speaks to old soul energy, longing for home, and the ache of not quite fitting in—something I’ve felt hard ever since moving to California and trying to blend into spaces that feel like they were never built for someone like me.

Birthing a New Age wrapped it up with a clear message: I’m creating something real—something that goes beyond just writing, working, or being a stepmom. I’m weaving together all the layers of my life into something spiritual, grounded, and meaningful.

Deck 2: Angel Dreams – Messages from the Subconscious and the Season of Now

Pulled 5 cards: Dancing, Summer, Bathroom, Problem Solving, Lucid Dream

This deck came through like a dream journal that had been flipped open by a gust of wind. Dancing reminded me to stop taking everything so seriously. Even in the chaos, there’s room to shake it off, laugh, and move your body like you’ve already won the battle.

Summer came next, confirming that this season is a portal. Maybe something big is blooming between now and the end of summer—a project, a mindset shift, or a whole new version of me.

Then came the Bathroom card, which made me laugh (oracle humor is real), but its message was all about release. Purging. Cleansing. And yeah, maybe it’s time for a spiritual colonic after everything I’ve been carrying—especially emotionally and energetically.

Problem Solving and Lucid Dream sealed it: the answers are coming, but they won’t show up in neon lights. They’ll come in dreams, in gut feelings, in whispered thoughts during meditative moments or even while folding laundry. I just need to keep my eyes and heart open.

Deck 3: Witching Hour – Ghosts, Protection, and Power

Pulled 5 cards: Forgotten Ghosts, Familiar, Prying Eyes, The Flames, Invocation

Whew. This one? Shadowy and absolutely on brand. These cards felt like they could’ve been pulled from a haunted mansion séance.

Forgotten Ghosts instantly hit a nerve. Ancestral wounds, buried trauma, past lives… this card doesn’t whisper—it moans. I’ve been carrying stuff that doesn’t fully belong to me. Energies, expectations, maybe even guilt or pressure from timelines I didn’t ask to inherit.

Then came Familiar, a welcome reminder that I’m protected. Spirit allies, guides, even my cat—there are guardians in my corner that walk with me daily, even if I can’t always see them.

Prying Eyes was a big one. I’ve felt watched, judged, whispered about—especially in certain dynamics. I know who the energy vampires are, and this card reminded me to shield up and draw that line in the metaphysical sand.

The Flames and Invocation ended the spread with a bang. Fire energy. Power. Transformation. This is phoenix territory—something must burn so something new can rise. Invoke what you want, the cards said. Call it out, claim it, and let the universe match your energy.

The Final Download:

These decks, pulled together, read like a layered spell. One part sunlit magic, one part psychic protection, and one part shadow work. It felt like a message from the Universe, my ancestors, and maybe even the ghosts I’ve spent my life trying to understand—telling me:

“You’re not crazy. You’re not alone. You’re not stuck. You’re just becoming.”

So whether you’re out in your backyard, in your car on lunch break, or sitting in the weird quiet between chaos and calm… know this: the Universe is listening. Sometimes you don’t need a question to get an answer. Sometimes just showing up with an open heart is enough.

Until next time—stay strange, stay sacred, and don’t forget to protect your energy.
