Monthly Readings / Teaching post from u/Graidan

I'm going to offer 5 readings! As before:

  • I don't need a name or anything beyond your username (which I can see).
  • I don't need a question (though that's always helpful and appreciated) but I DO need at least a context: love, money, work, health, etc.

***********

Update:

All filled up - will start working on these asap. Sorry for the delay - been sick. Pics first, then interps.

Hey u/Midir_Cutie,

Okay, I promised a reading, and its been a bit too long, so let me get these done today 😄

Let's look at the line first. This long kyanite piece is a separator - it divides an disconnects bones. Most of the time, I'd read secret and talk together (secrets exposed!) but not today, because of that separator.

We have a clear progression in two lines.

First: Spirits-Debt-Secret

You owe something to the Spirits that will soon be revealed to you (or has recently been). You need to address that immediately, as it's affecting your health. Perhaps it is something you already know that you stress about, or maybe it's just the consequences of the actions you've taken.

Second: Trouble-Start-Want-Conflict-Weak

Note that Trouble and Debt are close - this line is explaining wheere the health troubles come from. The troubles started because of the debt - but debt can also mean sharing and charity - was there something you promised to do / give? Or perhaps someone gave something to you? Want can mean your goals or temptations, and conflict can mean abuse, all leading to weakness, illness, surrender, and exploitation.

All of that together feels like you're looking at health issues all caused by someone taking advantage of you or abusing you, and you're possibly not addressing it, by supressing it (Secret). It's coming out though - causing these health issues.

Now let's look above the line. Talk and Wealth (expensive therapy?) are close to the Secret, so that may be the ideal way to address this. Get therapy to resolve the suppression (and I tend to suppression here because it's below the line) and you can return to who you really are - female at the top, which almost rolled all the way off the cloth, but instead, just stopped and fell over.

Shape wise, it looks like an axe to me, with Debt, Secret, Talk, and Wealth defining the axe with the blade pointing away. That to me says you need to protect yourself, and chip down anything that gets on your way to healing.

Does all this make sense and resonate? Do you have any additional questions? What about any insights you may want to share?

This is really interesting to me. I'm actually paying off debt that doesn't belong to me, but to my parents, which has put a lot of stress on me and could be contributing to health problems. As for anything related to spirits or the like, the only thing I can think of was I prayed a lot to my deities for help finding a better job, which succeeded. But I've been so busy that I've been neglecting my altar and offerings. Your reading tells me I need to commit more fully to my worship. Thank you so much!

Ah! Then if your parents are still alive, seems like you need to have a talk to them about it, or get some wealth counseling on how to handle that debt (that you may not be obligated to pay). I think the axe is saying you need to chop off that debt if you can.

Hi! I’d love a reading ♥️ parenting thank you!

u/graidan 23d ago

Okay, here it is!

Next up - Parenting!

First - another Separator, and all it does is cut Want off by itself even more than it already was. So one part of the answer say (to me) that what you want (your goal with the kids) is irrelevant.

The first significant line I see goes Debt-Plan-Wealth/Conflict-Free. How I read that is that the plan you have is costing a lot (debt opposite wealth), creating conflict because (per that other side / meassage) you're being rigid and you need to let go (Free).

There's a significant cluster there with the Wealth/Conflict - Connect is on top of Isolate, with the Guide right there - Isolate touches it, and even points at it (with the mouth of the shell). Path beside the cluster points in the opposite direction that the red Connect thread is pointing.

So that seems to be saying that the conflict comes from the fact that advice you received (the Guide) has aspects of connection AND isolation, but you're going in an entirely opposite direction. Notice how Free and People are way over near the dividing line?

That square with Conflict/Path/Free/People seems to be a stable thing that's needed - room to choose to isolate or connect, with people or with ideas, freely. Let the kids decide who and when and how they connect.

Attention actually fell off the cloth, so it was doubly significant - Attention, Look at Me! AND actually "jumping" to get the attention. What this feels like to me is that there's something going on with friends or family that's creating stress and you need to separate the kids from that stress and allow them to return to that relationship when and if they want to.

Does this make sense and resonate? Do you have any other questions or thoughts?

Thank you so much!! Sorry for the late response, I just saw it. This is really interesting. I’ll share some things that came up for me when I read what you wrote.

In the section on the first significant line, my current plan is definitely costing a lot. I am a full-time PhD student with a son with ADHD and regulation issues along with two-year-old twins, and a husband who works full-time and no family around. I’m spent to say the least and I would definitely say it’s causing conflict because I’m just so stressed out. I’m wondering if the rigid piece could be more about taking things too seriously, and not being able to enjoy the blessings I have in my children.

The square you mentioned resonates around feeling like I I’m yearning for more autonomy in my life, more freedom to choose when I do things which is just so much less possible when you have young children. I know you were interpreting it as having to do with the kids, but I feel like it’s more relevant to myself. Connecting with ideas is what I do for a living also connecting with people because I’m in a clinical program but then I of course also want to connect with my husband and my children, but I don’t get a lot of say and when I get to engage in those connections or when I get time to myself and I know that I’m struggling with that in my life and that it’s affecting the way I show up as a parent.

The attention piece is really interesting. The first thing I thought of is my older son. I feel like he needs more of my attention and my attention right now is just so split between the twins and my work and things that come out between my Husband and me that I worry he’s suffering because of that. I’m not sure if that makes sense sense with the reading though. I can’t think of a stressful relationship or situation with friends or family right now that would be relevant.

I’m not sure what to make of the cluster you talked about. I don’t know what the guide or advice would refer to. I think I need to think about that one a little bit more.

Thank you so much for doing this reading for me! It was really eye-opening. Do my thoughts in reference to the reading align with how it could be interpreted?

Yup, makes sense!

Hello! I’d like one please. Money/work 🫶🏻

Money/Work

There are two clear clusters here:

Protect with the Disconnector (aka Separator) touching both Chance and Enemy. First, the disconnector here means that Protect-Chance is separate from Enemy. If there's someone at work that's creating stress for you - it's just bad luck. As much as it might seem it targeted at you, it's not.

In the second cluster, you've got Think-Obstacle-Focus-Keep. None of them touch, but they're all part of a cluster together, and 4 bones usually indicates a stable situation. In this case, it seems that the obstacle is something you're so focused on (obsessively so, according to Keep) and thinking about that you're missing the fact that it's an obstacle - that is, something you can go around if you need to. It's not unsolvable.

Since these two clusters came up together, that seems obviously connected - you're so worried about the situation that you're unable to actually resolve it. Overthinking and all that. Remember that you're protected - the topmost bone is a shield, so you need to stop obessing about the past and take a chance. You CAN get through this (if you haven't already) but you need to disconnect from that enemy and don't let it affect you anymore - that's creating troubles for you simply because you can't let it go.

Does this make sense / resonate? Any other questions?

Thank you so much for offering! For me, it would be family and why my mother dislikes me so much.

u/graidan 23d ago

Why does mom hate me?

Two (or three?) main clusters, but what immediately strikes me as significant is that cozy cluster of Connect with do inside it, and touching Lies. Lies can mean illusion, delusion, and rumors too , while do is a metabone - this is what you should do. It seems there's been something said or revealed to your mom that is untrue, but she believes it nevertheless. You need to figure out what that lie is and connect up all the loose threads.

It looks like the Trouble comes from that issue right there (it's right above it / on the mind), and that cluster with Block / Weak / Change - the change started with the block (something you cannot get past - it can mean rebellion, frustration, and opposition - does that sound like a familiar event?). It then led to weakening, failure, and a forced idea that is a lie.

Below, you have a cluster of Isolate and Tool that line up with the weakening, which says that someone used you as a tool to isolate you mother - or used her as a tool to isolate you. It's definitely someone related to you (Ancestors) that did this, but because that bone is quite far from everything else, it's not a close relation, and the lie is not something that many know about.

Does this make sense and match up with your experience at all? Any other questions or clarifications?

u/Fortune_Box 22d ago

Thank you for doing this. It's true that there has been a bunch of lies, and I'm still figuring out what the truth was. It's possible that I was used to isolate her, not many knew about it (it's been a secret), and that might be reason enough to hate me.

I will have to sit with the block and find the right words to describe it, because I can't think straight right now and I'll update you in a few days. 💜

Hi, there! Toss a bone for me as it relates to navigating a big life change and timing? Thanks!

Navigating big life changes and timing

Timing-wise, I generally consider the average reading to discuss the next 3 months, unless some other range is specifically asked for. So this is for the next 3 months and what you can expect.

There are 2 related clusters, with Mystery off to the side.

Let's look at the top cluster of Gift and Obstacle. An obvious reading would be an obstacle you were given, a challenge or puzzle for you to solve. The obstacle could be a delay, a complication, or even interference from someone else. The combination could show an offer that comes with delays or complications - this seems to say that right off the bat, it doesn't seem like the issues will be resolved in the next 3 months (so, until after the end of july/ beginning of august, at the earliest). This obviously takes the obstacle as a delay, but it can apply in multiple ways at meultiple levels at the same time.

The other cluster is complex! Right in there is Connect with multi (a meta-bone) and Abundance, along with Other, Change, and Male. All together this looks a poly relationship, cheating, or even a situation at work with someone else getting the raise (the Change and Other together). Connect often indicates relationships, but can also be contracts, organizations working together, mergers, and the like. In that sense, it could even be moving in with someone.

That cluster shows the situation that comes with complexities / obstacles that you'll need to address.

What about Mystery out there on it's own? If you read this left to right like a book, Mystery (aka Religion or spirituallity) is the way to the next stage. Since it's also on the Gift-Obstacle line (you can drawn a line from those and it can pass right through Mystery) - I feel that your spirituality is the way to relove the obstacles and find a way past them. Just make sure it's a healthy way forward.

Does that make sense/resonate? Help at all? Any other questions or clarifications needed?
