Is it wrong [like, not good/proper, not like bad/evil] to do divination readings on/for others to distract yourself from your own icky feelings?
Because my ADHD kind of needs a distraction when I get anxious or other bad feels, a distraction that I can just throw myself into and divination is one of those few subjects in which I can do that.
As far as I know, the readings have been accurate regardless [of the few that I got responses for], but I’m not sure if it’d count as, well, not necessarily a Wrong Way to do Tarot/Divination/etc, but also like. not the right intent either???
idk if I’m just worrying about something I don’t need to tbh.
tagging people for input bc I don’t know too many divinatory readers: @shelby-melissa , @hellboundwitch , @bibliophilicwitch , @grimoire-of-geekery @loganscove and anyone else who wishes to answer. I would love to hear others’ inputs
Tbh what I find, ALWAYS when I do readings and not just when I have something on my mind, is that each individual reading I do has its specific message for the querent – but then, when I look at the overarching themes of the readings, there’s often a message there aimed at me.
I don’t feel like it’s a projection thing, as feedback doesn’t point that way. What I think it is, is that I draw people in who need that lesson too, you know?
So no. I don’t think you’re divining wrong. As long as you feel like you’re good to go, why not?
“You know, before I got married Emily used to come by and help me clean out my apartment. Well, I asked her: “How come you’re so eager to help clean my place when your place is just as bad?” She said,“Because cleaning up your place helps me to forget what a mess I’ve made of mine.And when I sweep my floor, all I’ve done is sweep my floor. But when I help you clean up your place, I am helping you.” The way I lived back then, sometimes the mess was too much for both of us but it sure was nice to have the company.”
