Well, I don't often tell my favorite joke, because no one understands it 😂 it's actually a quantum physics joke, and I personally find it so hilarious that I can't tell it without laughing, so I'll post it here. Apologies if no one gets it 🤭 it goes like this: *clears throat* ...And the bartender says, "We don't serve faster-than-light particles here!" ...A tachyon walks into a bar.

@Ashley Jasper Styles I'm hoping to go to the Pride celebration in my town tomorrow. I haven't found a ride, so I'll probably have to walk, but I'll make it 😁👍🏳️‍🌈

I hope it's ok to write a book in the comments LOL 😂 1. How were you introduced to the cards? What was that first moment like? I was introduced to Tarot by a friend who gifted me my first deck. At the time, I learned to read the way many people do: as a predictive tool. I experimented with it a few times, but I didn't feel an immediate connection. Later, in my late teens and early twenties, I occasionally did free readings at a local bar. The readings themselves weren't necessarily inaccurate, but something about the experience never quite sat right with me. I couldn't have articulated why then, but I knew there was a disconnect between the way I was reading and what Tarot actually meant to me. Eventually, I stepped away from spirituality altogether. I consciously suppressed that part of myself for about a decade. Combined with unaddressed struggles in my mental and emotional life, that suppression eventually culminated in a profound breaking point on Christmas Eve of 2019. I realized that the way I was living was unsustainable, and I made the decision to change. I sought therapy, began reconnecting with the parts of myself I had shut away, and slowly rebuilt my life. It was during that period of rebirth that I returned to Tarot with new eyes. That's when the real relationship began. 2. How did you connect with the cards — and how do the cards connect back to you? When I returned to Tarot, I gave myself permission to question everything I thought I knew about it. The predictive framework I'd been taught no longer resonated with me. Instead, I began exploring the cards as symbols, mirrors, conversation partners, and invitations into deeper self-awareness. Tarot became less about certainty and more about relationship. I connect with the cards through curiosity and reflection. I sit with their imagery, their archetypes, and the questions they raise. They help me notice the stories I'm telling myself, the choices available to me, and the places where growth is asking something of me.

I've watched a few videos on neuroGraphic art, but I've never actually done it. Sounds like a good time to try 😊👍

Greetings and Blessings, my friends! ✨🤗✨ My name is Meaghan, and I'm glad to be here. I joined out of familiarity with the group's founder, and was curious to see what kinds of conversations and connections might emerge in this space. I'm someone with a wide range of interests, though many of them revolve around learning, creativity, personal growth, and the search for meaning. I've been reading tarot for about fifteen years and have been running Ophryon Divinations for a little over a year. More recently, I've begun teaching classes in a few communities and am preparing to launch a Skool group of my own. Beyond that, I enjoy writing, music, storytelling, and exploring different ways people understand themselves and the world around them. I love thoughtful conversations, unusual ideas, and opportunities to learn from people whose experiences differ from my own. At the moment, I feel like I'm in a season of building—developing new skills, creating new projects, and discovering what comes next. I'm looking forward to meeting everyone, learning from the community, and seeing where the journey leads. Thanks for having me here.
