Not every week brings breakthroughs or bold action. Some weeks ask you to soften. To look a little closer. To be honest about your needs and willing to receive support—from others, from the earth, and from yourself. This week’s draws are about nourishment in all forms: protection, beauty, rest, and movement. Not just physical rest or nourishment either, but the kind that reaches deeper. Emotional. Spiritual. Even existential. If that’s the kind of depth you crave in your practice, you’ll love what we’re building inside The Seer’s Guild. Now let’s take a closer look at the cards and what they’re trying to help you remember.

→ The Chestnut
The Chestnut holds a message of safety and nourishment. In particular, this card means someone is looking out for you. Perhaps it’s someone you know but it could easily be a stranger you’ve never met. One whose actions somehow impact you in a positive way. Take comfort in knowing that for whatever reason, someone has your back today. That a problem you didn’t know existed is resolved or that someone went out of their way to make sure you don’t have to worry. Repay this kindness by nourishing yourself. Don’t let someone else’s efforts be in vain by bringing discomfort into your life. Seek experiences and people that support you and make an effort to support yourself as well.

→ The Holed Stones
It's believed that one might glimpse a fairy by looking through a holed stone with the point being there is beauty all around if you know where to look. A holed stone may seem unremarkable and perhaps even damaged and yet, it might be a portal to another world hiding right under your nose. Beauty can be as elusive as a fairy, especially when you chase ideas of beauty that don’t really resonate with your own. This card invites you to explore what beauty means to you. For some, it’s turning against fashion models and makeup but perhaps that does resonate with you. There’s nothing wrong with not loving traditional forms of beauty and there’s nothing wrong with loving it either. Everyone must find their own sense of beauty and claim it as long as it's done with intention and integrity. Don’t apologize for the things that give you a sense of awe and wonder even if it feels strange or cringe. Beauty is in the eye of the beholder just like beauty might dwell in the eye of a holed stone.

→ Nourish
This card invites you to look beyond the act of nourishment. It's one thing to know you’re in need of more support but it's something entirely more important to know what kind of support you need. Perhaps asking for help isn’t what most people suffer with instead, it's knowing what help you need which causes the trouble. You may not know how someone else can step in and make things easier for you. Perhaps you aren’t even sure what would make you feel whole, or inspired or motivated or at ease. Receiving this card today suggests you need more information about yourself. This is a summons to stop and honestly think about what’s missing in your life. Be it better communication or more space, more time or someone to take control for a while. Listen to your needs and act accordingly.

→ Rest
Today’s card is an obvious call for rest. You do not need to be productive every day of your life. Perhaps there was a time in a previous life where you needed to work everyday for survival. Certainly many of our ancestors lived life in this way so the codes of that hardship are imprinted in your blood, urging you to do more. Giving you the sensation of feeling like rest equals danger: productivity being how you take care of yourself and your family. These codes are no longer true for today’s mystic. You are allowed to waste time without it being harmful to your existence. And your time is your own. Just because you aren’t busy, doesn’t mean you’re free. Protect your right to refresh your spirit. It's hard earned and there will be many, many more days to be productive. But today, let something fall away and enjoy what it feels like to have time-freedom.

→The Margin
The Margin represents a space of passage; a transitional space where you’re neither here nor there but someplace in between. Too often, one finds themselves in this liminal space thinking the way out is to force or think your way out of this dwelling when the opposite is true. This space is meant to guide you into a place of suspension; to reflect rather than rationalize and to ease rather than coerce. You’ve found yourself in the margin today to find more love and care for yourself. To command respect in whatever way is needed most for you as of late. You might feel called to observe better boundaries, to fuel with more nourishing foods, to move your body in an untamed way or in a structured way—honor what feels good in this space. What you should not do is push. This space is meant to be gentle so if you are trying to force a path forward, you will find the journey leads you right back here until you are able to find comfort in the pause.

→ St. John’s Wort
Today’s task is to find hope. St. John’s Wort is believed to be one of few plants that can treat melancholy. It's a bright sunny plant that brings warmth and joy to any potion or blend. In fact, its flowers and leaves have tiny holes and when you hold them up to the sun, you can see sunrays peeking through as if this plant is eager to help you stay in the light. Don’t give up hope. There’s still so much more for you to see and do. Don’t let what’s happening around you keep you from living in the here and now. Live because of what’s happening. Live your life for those who won’t ever have the chance to do the same. Have the experiences some people dream of claiming. Don’t waste the good fortune that’s upon you. If you’re in a fortunate enough situation to read daily tarot draws, know that there are hundreds of thousands of people in the world who can’t even read. Give yourself some perspective and allow yourself to see that perhaps things aren’t as bad as they may seem.

→ The Juniper
Happy Mother’s Day to the mamas out there. And if Mother’s Day is a little darker for you, I have a recommendation: Healing the Mother Wound by my dear friend Tamala Floyd.
Juniper brings the message of travel. Perhaps in the literal sense if that’s available to you. In fact, I am traveling this very day. So if you can book a new destination or if the desire to do so is within you, then let this be your permission to move forward with these plans. But, this card can also express itself in the abstract. Travel can be another word for new: new experiences, people, ideas, or understandings. Let yourself venture beyond what you know. Let yourself explore something that feels foreign or out of your comfort zone. Growth doesn’t occur in the spaces that are familiar to you. You can’t add more to your life by doing more of what you already have.
