Lightworker Tarot Spread | PFC

Woot woot! Another #PFC spread! I’m having such a fun time with this challenge, so kudos to you SU for creating it! This time around I’ll use my cute’n creepy Nicoletta Ceccoli deck. I... really love this deck a lot!

Before we dive into it, I must it that I’m not too fond of the entire ‘lightworker’ thing. Or I mean, not the new age version of it. A lightworker isn’t a complete ‘new age’ concept, because light and dark has always been around, and so has those who work with it. BUT! New age’s lightworkers are very focused on throwing love and light at every bad thing out there, which I think is rather amusing, and so is the idea that a lightworker can heal EVERYTHING and ANY ONE, which is complete nonsense. So know that I’m not thinking about this sugarsweet new age lightwork when doing this spread, I focus on reality and all of its various colours, not strictly love and light. Lmao thanks for coming to my TED talk, now let’s check out that spread!

cards to represent my energy as a lightworker

—king of swords, the moon & the high priestess—

At times I’m a messenger for forces that are greater than me, such as the ancient ways of my ancestors or the shadow side of different areas of life. There are many times where I feel like I am the person depicted in the King of Swords here, sitting focused when there is a storm inside my head desperately wanting to get out, and so I must write, sing, channel, dance or talk until what needs to come out has come out. Usually there is a clear message that is meant to teach, and other times the whirlwind exposes a new path down a road I need to take. I feel like that’s my energy, lightworker or not.

I stand tall because I am backed up by the oldest mountains, but I also slip away because my piscean nature loves to swim with the obscurities. My energy is that of a puzzling trickster, a fog you can never quite grasp—but at times you can see me solidify, as if I was never fluid. I dive to depths to reveal and learn, and I come back up again with what I have found, whether it is for my own journey, for someone else’s or for the anima mundi. I want us to face our shadows.

why i have incarnated on earth at this time

—the hermit & seven of swords—

I am here to gain wisdom and to share it. To focus on the connection between opposites such as inner and outer, light and dark, conscious and unconscious. To study the interactions and connections between various things, especially when it comes to the darker aspects of everything. Like the seven of swords shows, I am here to see a bigger picture. The things that lurk behind us after we have made a choice or rounded a corner. I’m currently watching the show Freud, and I that Freud in the first episode mentions that our mind’s awareness is a match flickering in a house. We can only see where there is light, where our awareness is, while everything else in the house is completely dark—we are unaware of what happens there, in the darkness. I don’t know if Freud used this image in his real life, but I really like that way of seeing it. You can say that I have incarnated to help people become aware of that match, and that it can be moved from room to room to illuminate the creepy crawlers that people hide from, ignore or aren’t aware of.

how i can use my energy to be of service

—the empress & ten of pentacles—

I can be of service by making people study the little but significant details that are needed in order to see everything more clearly, so that people can find a way to break out from habitual patterns, free themselves from destructive thinking, or liberate themselves from repressing situations. I am a firm er of the individual self, and I can be of service by helping people see the treasure they sit on without comparing them with everyone else. To inspire people to break out from conformity and find their own way, to inspire new thinking, new ideas and new ways of looking at the world. To help people cultivate their own unique voice. A lot of this is done with the energy of the empress. By keeping an open and loving mind towards everything living and to teach that everyone and everything is a subject instead of an object to be exploited.

Yesterday SU said something about guides showing up in the cards, and that reminded me a bit about this. I can be of service by being a guide to other people. I have already broken out and paved a way, and so I can use my experience to be of inspiration and to everyone else doing the same, and offer my guidance if it’s needed. Promethean energy with a dash of love!

how i can come into deeper self-awareness

—five of pentacles & four of pentacles—

I can come into deeper self-awareness by facing the less pleasant parts of physical reality. By spending time with the wounds, the lacks, the greed, the messes and the alienation; whether it is someone else’s, mine or the collective’s. I always learn a lot when I see the two sides of this physical world; the actual world itself and the shadow world that it creates, or rather the shadow that our reality casts. Most things has a consequence, whether good, neutral or bad. I like spending time with the bad parts, because that’s where we can learn the most. At least that’s where I learn the most, and it’s by studying the bad that makes me more aware of everything else, by drawing connections I might not

have seen before.

how i can honour my gifts

—ten of cups & the lovers—

I can honour my gifts by remaining determined on my journey through the dark side of our world and by being highly aware of my choices. The ten of cups is usually a happy card, but here I can’t see a sliver of happiness; only disorder in the surroundings and sorrowful determination in the woman’s eyes. The elephant is of course a symbol of wisdom, memory and longevity, and so I will continue on by ing what I have seen and experienced in order to forever work my way towards the harmonious version of this ten. Backed up by The Lovers I can again see a hint of the more sorrowful side of the world and life, which is where I am meant to bring change and transformation. Thus I can also honour my gifts by promoting change, and by helping people realise their well of potential ready to be set into motion.

Turns out I’m a darkworker lol, or more precisely

a shadow worker. This reading focused a lot on

the shadow side of things, which is probably

because that’s what I naturally lean towards.

The eerie look of the Ceccoli deck is of course

also a great source of tapping into the dark!
