I’m at work right now, but I will do this as well! Remind me later 
Drew my cards and oof, it’s been a long day and Sundays aren’t my favorite day of the week, so while I’ve drawn the cards, I’ll save reading them till tomorrow. I think these are worth journaling about as well 
Thanks for sharing!

When I saw this, I thought “there’s no way I’m not doing this”, dark feminine energy is definitely my favorite kind! 
Since I’m already using my tarot deck for the November challenge, I’m using my “Villi Voima” (“Wild Power”) Finnish shamanic deck, it feels like a perfect match for this
- What part of my shadow am I suppressing?
Dreaming
The world of the subconscious calls to you. Visit the dreaming every night. Trust the messages, the knowing that fades away in the sunlight. Even nightmares have something to tell you about life.
- How am I presenting myself to the world?
Wave
I drown in my depth, I cleanse with my flow, I nurture with my softness, I heal with my power. Descend into the water. Dive deep. Realign. See the possibilities around you.
- How do I reclaim my power?
Snow
I shine the light of the heavens on earth. I’m one of a kind. I change my form. I adapt. I melt and reshape over and over again. I take and give sensation.
- How do I unleash my sensuality?
Vision quest
It’s time. Embark on a new journey, on your own. In the wild nature. The Great Spirit will speak to you. Your purpose will visualize in front of your eyes. The answers you’ll find inside of you. A rite of passage will bring you to life again.
- What keeps me from seeking pleasure?
Drum
Get to know my rhythm. I want to thrum under the moonlit sky. I am the instrument of your soul, and the conductor of your journey. You can hear the heartbeat of life in me.
(Here’s where I realized that I really should have a cup of cacao with this 
)
- What action should I take to honor my dark feminine energy?
Feather
I drop without a sound to the ground for you to find. Let me bring you a message from the above - you’re on the right path.
- What wisdom does the dark feminine have for me?
The Lower Realms
Come to me. Journey to make friends with the shadow realm. Travel through the dark waters, and meet your shadow. Where pain is located, there also healing awaits. Breathe through the dusk. I am your deepest power.
That last card really gave me the shivers, and a feeling of something beautiful and familiar 
Like my soul resonating with something vast and ancient. I’m going to reflect on these, maybe take my drum and see if it takes me to places

I took some time to do this spread and was not that surprised by my pulls… 
What part of my shadow am I repressing?
– The Fool Reversed
Reversed, The Fool is more about recklessness and a lack of care for the consequences of my actions. I kind of get that this is a good thing, honestly. Sometimes, yeah, I just want to throw my hands up and say “eff it all” and just do what I want. Logically, though, I know this is not the greatest idea. When it comes to the idea of dark feminine energy, though, I’m kind of at a loss. Maybe this is the shadow side of my femininity that doesn’t care what others think, the side that does what I want (within reason) because it’s what will make me happy. Whatever it is, I think it’s worth exploring.
How am I presenting myself to the world?
– The Seven of Cups Reversed
This card confused me, not gonna lie. Is it obvious that I’m making conscious choices that don’t necessarily align with the way I want to live my life? I don’t feel that I am. I mean, there’s a lot going on under the surface for me that I’m not going to get into because it’s all trauma-based, but maybe this part of me is the other side. I’m presenting myself as a person who makes conscious choices and who has clarity about where I’m going, even if maybe that’s not always true.
How do I reclaim my power?
– The Nine of Cups Reversed
I’m not shocked by this card, either. Reversed, this card is absolutely about inner fulfillment and finding peace with myself. Lately, I’ve been feeling a lack of authenticity in my life and the choices I make. I’m doing things I want, sure but I’m not living the way I want to be living, if that makes sense. I need to take the reigns of my life back and start making better-for-me decisions.
How do I unlock my sensuality?
– Justice Reversed
I’m looking at the word sensuality here in a holistic way, if that makes sense. In this case, I need to reframe how I view sensuality and the shame or guilt surrounding enjoying life. Sometimes I live in a state of denial, waiting and waiting for things to change or a situation to improve before enjoying something. I can’t live like that all the time, though, and keeping my enjoyment locked up, so to speak, doesn’t serve me any good.
What keeps me from seeking pleasure?
– The Magician Reversed
I mean, see the above answer about lying to myself and staying in denial this card is just further proof for me that I’m right.
What action should I take to honor my dark feminine energy?
– The Nine of Pentacles
Again, a card that makes sense – the Nine of Pentacles is a call to embrace my confidence and success, something I really, really struggle with. The confidence isn’t there at all, but it has a lot to do with other stuff that’s going on for me internally. I think once I work toward healing that stuff the confidence will come in time.
What wisdom does the dark feminine have for me?
– The Two of Pentacles Reversed
Unsurprisingly, the Two of Pentacles Reversed is a scream from my dark feminine to slow the heck down. I’ve got so many plates I’m juggling right now but all of them are important to me. It’s hard for me to choose the ones that need to be put down, you know? This card is a note to take care of myself and remember to spend some time doing things just for myself. I need to breathe, too.
What an interesting spread and reading! Thanks for sharing it and giving me the space to reflect here in the post, too
