There’s a thread running through this week’s draws—quiet at first, but persistent if you’re willing to pay attention. The message is clear: you don’t need to figure things out right now. You need to feel them. You need to witness what’s changing, sit with what’s unclear, and let life move through you without needing to make meaning of it all. These aren’t cards of control. They’re invitations into presence, softness, and honesty—especially with yourself.
Inside The Seer’s Guild, we explore how to move through these kinds of seasons with more grace and insight. But for now, let’s begin where all meaningful change starts—with noticing.

→ What is Wild
“What is wild does not belong to us.” That’s a line taken directly from the guidebook and words I have come to cherish. The wild is not to be claimed. It's not something you can organize or rationalize. It is something that needs shape to expand and contract, to live and breath, to change without need of explanation or understanding. Today you’re being asked to see the world through your wild. To connect with the part of you that doesn’t need to know how things will play out. This same part doesn’t care what tomorrow holds because it's busy enjoying today. Your task is to be present in the wilderness; to let whatever presents itself to you be exactly what it is without need to change it or to analyze it. That could be a person, a thing, a task, a place, or perhaps a feeling. Remember that the wild does not belong to you and therefore, it isn’t yours to alter. Find freedom in being exactly where you are without the pressure of needing to be anywhere else.

→ The Helichrysum
This card appears bittersweet because it suggests that what is broken will never be the same again but it can be recycled into something new. You may have felt like something is ending in your life. Maybe a relationship feels different now or something you used to enjoy doesn’t have the same value anymore. And that’s ok. Know that it's ok for things to break. In fact, often things need to fall apart, not to hurt you but to encourage you to grow. To see that your needs have changed and what you once had is not enough to sustain anymore. That doesn’t mean you have to end things or that you have to walk away. It does mean you have to approach things differently. Change up your methods, get to know the person someone is today not who they were. Get to know who you are today instead of expecting yourself to show up as the person you were years before. This card encourages you to let things evolve and to know that’s a natural part of life.

→ The Holly
Holly invites you to be mindful of where you place your light. To know that you do not need to direct your energy towards something if you don’t want to. Even if it's something you have an obligation to, that doesn’t mean you have to give more than what’s expected of you or more than you actually have to give. Your energy and light is among the most precious things you own. You wouldn’t trust everyone with a million dollar sports car or your credit card and yet, most of us have no problem giving away our life source, our vitality and our strength. Things that are infinitely more important than a credit card. Money you can replace but your time, youth, heart; those things not so much. Have a long think about where you want your energy to go and start being intentional about how you give it out. If nothing else, make sure your energy is being matched by whoever is fortunate enough to receive it.

→ The Shoot
We are deep into the heart of spring now when the question becomes, are you ready to bloom? Is now the right time to put your plans out into the world? To share who you’ve quietly become within your internal landscape? Or do you need more time to nurture, analyze and refine before you feel comfortable enough to share who you are deep inside? This card represents a moment to reflect honestly. To consider what’s truly needed in the next part of your life. But remember that a flower bud cannot hold back forever. At some point, all of the plant's energy must be used to burst that flower open so that it can be pollinated and continue its life journey. If you were to hold yourself in, you’ll miss the nourishment that being engaged in the world can offer you and ultimately, your lifeforce will wither away with nothing to facilitate a new growth cycle. You are meant to rest and reflect and protect yourself but you’re also meant to share the gift of who you are with the world.

→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.
Saturday May 17, 2025
→ The Bread & The Tree
This card asks for nothing more than your presence in the here and now. It wants you to stop and notice life around you. You don’t have to stop and smell the roses as they say but take in your life for what it is. Look at your vision board for once, take more than a quick glance in the mirror and truly gaze at yourself. Enjoy the full taste of a meal: savor it. Or just enjoy the sensation of your own breath. Take a few deep inhales and breathe out everything you’ve been carrying. Think of this as a moment to return to yourself. To explore what it actually feels like to feel present in your body and not just present in your life. How does it feel to notice how you feel? How often do you take the time to say “you know what, I’m not ok” when someone asks you how you’re doing? That’s all this card is asking of you: to be here with yourself today.
Sunday May 18, 2025
→ Listen
Today’s card is very similar to yesterday as it also asks you to be present in your life. But here, the advice is to engage your senses. Pay attention to what you eat today and how it tastes. Pay attention to things you touch, what you smell and hear. And don’t forget to engage your sixth sense as well: your intuition. What are all of your senses telling you? You take in information with more than just your brain. In fact, your brain is using all of your senses to better understand the world around you. So I would say your senses matter a great deal, even when you don’t notice them.
