Welcome to Illumination and Craft,

Releasing and Retaining Through Tarot.

My name is Damon,

And tonight I will guide you through a mystical journey framed by the sacred elements surrounding us.

Here at my altar,

Surrounded by black salt for protection,

We commence our ritual.

Two candles cast a steadfast,

Bright light,

Symbolizing the dual themes of our meditation,

Release and Retain.

The air is perfumed with jasmine incense,

Elevating our spirits and opening our heart chakras to intuitive insights.

I have purified our tarot deck in a ceremony of elements,

Clear quartz for clarity,

Consecrated water for purification,

Jasmine air for spiritual elevation,

And the sacred fire of our long burning candles.

These preparations set the stage for a profound revelation through our cards.

Tonight,

Our focus is directed by two,

The Page of Swords and the Eight of Pentacles,

Both upright.

The Page of Swords,

Our child of air,

Has served us well with his quick intellect and curiosity,

Yet it's time to release the immaturity that shrouds his brighter qualities.

We let go of youthful indiscretions to embrace a more mature perspective.

The Eight of Pentacles heralds a certain focus on retention.

This card celebrates our dedication to craftsmanship and the mastery of skills.

As we stand amidst the fruits of our labor,

Let us delight in our achievements and the stability they bring.

The coins of the Eight of Pentacles remind us of the tools,

The very tools at our fingertips ready to be utilized in the continuation of our success.

Now,

Let us bask in breath.

I want you to breathe with me in through the nose,

Deeply,

And then we hold in the breath to absorb its wisdom.

And now we exhale any remnants of immaturity that we wish to release.

Again,

Let us breathe deeply,

Inhaling the purifying essence of jasmine,

Holding the breath to absorb its wisdom,

And exhaling any remnants of immaturity that we wish to release.

Imagine the page of swords,

Vibrant yet volatile,

His energy dissipating with each breath out.

Now,

Inhale deeply once more,

Drawing in the robust earthly energy of the Eight of Pentacles.

Visualize yourself in the workshop,

Each tool gleaming with potential,

Each task completed adding to your burgeoning expertise.

Fill the satisfaction of well-earned success,

Filling you with each breath.

Slowly bring movement back into your body,

Wiggle your fingers and toes,

Roll your shoulders,

And when you're ready,

Open your eyes,

Refreshed and renewed.

Take a moment to reflect.

What aspects of the page have you released?

What skills and strength from the Eight of Pentacles will you carry forward?

My friends,

Sometimes life is not about the answers,

But the questions you ask.

Sometimes the right questions bring you into a sacred space.

And I thank you for joining me in this mine.

May the clarity from our release and the confidence from our retention guide you in weaving the rich tapestry of your life.

Blessed be.

Namaste.
