#TheJourney is the Death card for #WildwoodTarot. I think this card is particularly pretty. What are you clinging to that needs to be left behind? What bridges need to be burned? I'm thinking death to the hustle & grind. Death to the comparison game. Death to the word "should."

Drew the #5ofWands. Fives are chaotic energy and this card suggests disharmony within a group of people. I am not currently working with a disharmonous group, so it could be this struggle is within me. Sounds about right for me today. #tarot

#TheHierophant is the teacher archetype. This #tarot card symbolizes the passing down of wisdom. When I draw this one, I think of my teaching vocation as sacred and special.

#7ofPentacles Love this card! You are doing so well, but don't forget to pause and reflect on your progress so far. My pause/reflection took place today on my oversized whiteboard. See if anything needs refining or adjusting before moving on. #tarot

#5ofCups. Any emotional pain going on right now? Acknowledge it and "be good to yourself" as Journey said. It's the halfway point of the semester, with no fall break in sight. I have a colleague who builds her own fall break into the semester. She's taking care of herself! #tarot

#8ofPentacles : DO THE WORK. Sometimes it's so boring, but tedious tasks will sharpen your skills and move projects along. Today I finished details on a research poster, scheduled meetings with co-authors, and drafted a kind of boring abstract. Tedious tasks are also a good fit for low energy days!

Just realized I have drawn four major arcana #tarot in a row. These are BIG cards with BIG messages. Life lessons, if you will, rather than daily advice.

Drew #TheSun on a day when our new faculty member got trolled on FB by a notorious "mom" group, all because she teaches & researches biracial/intersectional identities. Trying to find the joy, as pictured in this bright & happy #tarotcard, is tough sometimes in this sh$tty political environment.

I love #TheHermit. I like to be on my own, reflect, recharge, and breathe. As academics we are often surrounded by people: Students! Colleagues! Committees! Be sure and carve out some time for being alone, it's important for body and soul. #tarot

#TheChariot. Why isn't the chariot moving? Where are the reins? You need a strong idea of where you're going & why. Your determination will be enough to steer you on a course once you settle on where/why. I felt pulled in many different directions today without focus. I stopped, breathed, focused.

The #Magician! This card suggests the beginning of a significant new journey. Make sure your plan aligns with your values & ideals. Then- do it! You have everything you need to begin, don't wait for the "perfect" time, fake it til you make it! #tarot

Another hard one, #5ofCups. Go ahead and mourn for what you've lost, but remember, there are 2 cups still behind you. I am mourning for those in academic positions who have lost their jobs in this current political climate. When can we return to "normal?" #tarot

I drew #10ofSwords & wanted to put it back, but here we are. This card is painful & sad- it's about bitter endings; it's about understanding that some battles are unwinnable. Don't feel too defeated when you lose, because it just means a new chapter is coming. You will regroup & be restored. #tarot

#8ofWands is an exciting #tarot card for movement & energy. I could really use this after last week's exhaustion. If you are feeling energetic-work with this to finish a current project or plan a new one. I capitalized on this energy all day 😁. Make plans, schedule things, outline- let's do this!

As a #RecoveringBaptist, I dislike this card. Let's put it in context!The #JudgementTarotCard indicates you're coming into your true self. But, you're at a crossroads. I received T&P in 2025 and have to decide-I can "just" teach, or... branch out & do new research. It's time to really define myself.

The #4OfWands represents stability and harmony. When you are in this place, celebrate it! Our dept went through a very rough period. Now that certain toxic individuals have left, we feel harmonious & we are absolutely celebrating the return to a stable place 🙌 Awesome feeling energy! #tarot

It feels so sad, but help is near, they just don't see it
