May 30 - ๐Ÿซ‚ 5 Tarot Cards That Feel Like Hugs

(And not the awkward kind - these are the good ones.)

Sometimes you pull a card and it says,
“You are safe. You are loved. You don’t have to fix it all right now.”
That’s tarot at its gentlest.

Here are five cards that wrap around you like a warm blanket, a kind friend, or a purring cat who doesn’t judge your snack choices.


๐Ÿ’ž 1. The Star

Hope. Healing. Permission to exhale.
The Star whispers, “You’ve been through it. Now let’s gently begin again.”
It’s the tarot equivalent of running a bath and finally deleting that app.


๐ŸŒผ 2. Six of Cups

Nostalgia, comfort, and safe places.
This card says, “You’re allowed to go back to what felt good.”
Sometimes the best medicine is a soft jumper, a warm drink, and your favourite book from age twelve.


๐ŸŒธ 3. Queen of Pentacles

The ultimate Mum Friend card.
She doesn’t just bring snacks - she is the snack.
Grounded, nurturing, and quietly fierce about your well-being.


๐Ÿ”ฅ 4. Strength

Not the loud kind. The soft, quiet, steady kind.
This is the card that says, “You’re doing brilliantly, even if it doesn’t look like it.”
It’s lion energy… but the lion’s wearing a fluffy scarf.


๐ŸŒ™ 5. The High Priestess

When you need stillness, this card brings peace.
She holds space. She keeps secrets.
She reminds you that rest is productive and your inner knowing is sacred, even when you feel foggy.


✨ Bonus Card for Sick Days: Four of Swords

Obvious, but necessary.
This card literally tells you to lie down.
Do it. The world will still be there when you wake up.


๐Ÿงฃ Final Thought:

Next time you need a tarot hug, shuffle gently and ask:

“What energy will comfort me today?”

And if you draw The Tower?
Wrap it in a blanket, give it a biscuit, and tell it to calm down.
Not today, chaos. Not today.

May 29 - ๐Ÿ’— A Self-Compassion Spread

For the days when you need kindness more than answers.

Not every reading has to solve a problem.
Sometimes, it’s enough to sit quietly with your deck, your tea, your tissues - and pull cards that speak to the you who needs softness, not strategy.

Use this spread when you’re feeling fragile, under the weather, or just very human.


๐ŸŒธ The Spread: 5 Cards for Gentle Insight

1. What my body/mind/spirit is asking for right now
(This card reflects the need beneath the noise - rest, connection, stillness, comfort.)

2. How I can be kinder to myself today
(A gentle nudge. A reminder. A tiny action or mindset shift.)

3. What I can let go of, just for now
(A burden, a worry, a “should.” You don’t have to carry everything.)

4. A strength I’m forgetting I have
(Something already within you. A quiet kind of magic.)

5. A message from my higher self, inner guide, or future me
(Imagine this card as a hug in image form.)


๐Ÿ•ฏ️ Optional Add-Ons:

  • Light a candle. Whisper “I’m allowed to go slow.”

  • Pull only 1 or 2 cards if 5 feels like too much.

  • Write down just a few words. No pressure to journal unless it feels good.


✨ Final Thought:

Tarot isn’t only for Big Questions.
It’s here for the quiet, messy, soft days too.
You don’t need to be “on” to be worthy of insight.

You’re doing enough.
You are enough.
Right now.

May 28 - Tarot Characters: The Wheel of Fortune (Pop Culture)

๐ŸŽก The Wheel of Fortune is change beyond our control - the sudden turn, the rise and fall, the reminder that life moves whether we’re ready or not. This card speaks to fate, timing, and the long arc of events that reshape us, often without asking permission. It’s not about what we choose, but about how the world shifts beneath our feet.

Here are three figures whose stories are shaped by the turning of the Wheel:


Sansa Stark (Game of Thrones)


Sansa begins her story at the top of the Wheel - sheltered, privileged, and certain of how her life will unfold. Then the Wheel turns. Power is stripped away, safety vanishes, and survival becomes her only option. Over time, fortune shifts again, lifting her into a position of hard-won authority shaped by everything she endured.

Wheel of Fortune Vibes:
• Reversal of fortune
• Power gained through survival
• The long turn of fate


Forrest Gump (Forrest Gump)


Forrest doesn’t try to steer his life - he moves with it. History swirls around him, chance placing him again and again at the centre of enormous events. His story captures the Wheel’s randomness: the strange truth that outcomes aren’t always tied to intention, intelligence, or effort.

Wheel of Fortune Vibes:
• Fate in motion
• Unpredictable outcomes
• Being carried by circumstance


Bobby Nash (9-1-1)


Bobby’s life is irrevocably altered by catastrophe - loss, survival, and a future he never intended to live. The Wheel turns without mercy, taking everything he knew and forcing him onto a new path. What follows isn’t redemption by design, but renewal through timing, consequence, and the slow rebuilding that comes after the fall.

Wheel of Fortune Vibes:
• Sudden collapse and renewal
• Fate-driven transformation
• Life reshaped by circumstance


๐ŸŽ  The Wheel of Fortune asks: where is life turning for you - and how might you find your footing as the wheel continues to move?

May 27 - How to Create your Magpie Deck

Ready to build your own Magpie deck? Gather your favourite decks and prepare for joyful chaos.

Start by spreading out all your options - this is the shiny-hoarder stage. Pick the cards that make your heart leap: the Hermit whose lantern glows just right, the Ten of Cups that feels like home. Don’t overthink it; intuition is your compass here.

Once you’ve chosen your flock, check for compatibility. Consistent card sizes make shuffling less like a workout. You can edge the cards in a single colour to visually tie them together, or embrace the glorious mismatch. Some readers even scan and reprint their choices in a uniform style (a whole craft project in itself).

Finally, consecrate your creation: give it a name, a pouch, maybe a crystal or charm. You’ve built a one-of-a-kind tool that reads exactly the way you do.


If you made a Magpie deck today, which card from which deck would absolutely have to be in it?

May 26 - Two of Pentacles (Images)

Two of Pentacles Across Decks ๐ŸŽด✨

A tightrope walker in a three ring circus

The Two of Pentacles speaks to balance and care, to making sure that you're not overdoing any part of life. It often shows up when you're leaning too heavily to one side or the other as a reminder to get back to balance. In many decks this is literally a figure balancing two large coins, often a jester, but some cards change the art to show other aspects of the card.


1. Everyday Witch Tarot — Funny and real

This witch is so well balanced that they've made things even harder by standing on a seesaw - but they're unaware that the cat is about to jump on one side, upsetting things! It's a reminder that even when we feel in control, things may change at any moment.


Two of Pentacles Vibes:

  • ๐Ÿงช Key themes: 
    ๐ŸŽจ Emotional tone: 
    Unique: 


2. Animystic Tarot — Neon landscapes

These trees have grown in exactly the same way, branched at exactly the same points, reached exactly the same height. It's impressive, but it can't last forever. One will have to outstrip the other eventually.


Two of Pentacles Vibes:

  • ๐Ÿงช Key themes: 
    ๐ŸŽจ Emotional tone: 
    Unique: 


3. Soul Cats Tarot — Magical felines

This magical cat is enjoying a rest in a hammock, under its protective pentacles. If that cat manages to knock one off, though, the hammock may not be so comfortable any more.


Two of Pentacles Vibes:

  • ๐Ÿงช Key themes: 
    ๐ŸŽจ Emotional tone: 
    Unique: 


Reflection:
Across decks, the Two of Pentacles reminds us of the importance of adaptability and juggling responsibilities. No matter how careful we are, nothing stays the same forever; at some point we'll put down our load. What are you being called to balance today?

Keep your balance, flow with change ๐ŸŒ™✨

May 25 - A Day in the Life of (Card)

Pick a card - any card - and imagine what an ordinary day looks like for them.

What’s breakfast for The Empress? (Probably something home-grown and beautifully plated.)
How does The Hermit spend the afternoon? (Spoiler: it involves peace, quiet, and possibly tea.)
And what about the Five of Wands - are they arguing over whose turn it is to make dinner again?

You can write it like a diary entry, a comic scene, or a mini screenplay. The goal is to see your card as a character living their truth in the everyday.

✨ What card do you think would have the most chaotic morning routine?

May 24 - Tarot Characters: Eight of Cups (Pop Culture)

๐ŸŒ’ The Eight of Cups is the moment you turn away - not because everything is ruined, but because it’s no longer enough. It’s the courage to leave what’s familiar when your heart knows there’s something more, even if you don’t yet know what that “more” looks like. This card is about honouring inner truth over comfort.

Here are three figures who embody the Eight of Cups’ quiet, resolute departure:


Gabriella Leaves Lava Springs (High School Musical 2)

Gabriella’s choice to leave isn’t dramatic - it’s honest. She realises that the version of herself she’s becoming doesn’t fit the space she’s in, or the expectations being placed on her. Walking away means choosing growth over belonging, even when it hurts.

Eight of Cups Vibes:
• Outgrowing a situation
• Choosing self-respect
• Walking away to stay true


Lysella Seeks Asylum (The Orville)

Lysella’s story is the Eight of Cups at its most harrowing. She isn’t chasing novelty - she’s fleeing a system she cannot ethically remain part of. Her plea to leave is born of conscience and clarity: once she sees the truth, she cannot unsee it.

Eight of Cups Vibes:
• Moral awakening
• Leaving despite fear
• Integrity over safety


Uncle Travelling Matt (Fraggle Rock)

Uncle Travelling Matt walks away not in sorrow, but in wonder. He leaves the Rock because the world is vast and fascinating, and he wants to experience it. His Eight of Cups journey is driven by curiosity, joy, and the pull of the unknown - a reminder that departure doesn’t always come from pain.

Eight of Cups Vibes:
• Choosing the unknown
• Joyful departure
• Following curiosity forward


๐ŸŒ˜ The Eight of Cups asks: what are you ready to leave behind - not because it’s wrong, but because your path is calling you elsewhere?
