Next PAC

For the people who were not able to participate, I will be taking the repeated questions that were sent to me to do my next pac readings based on them. Here are 6 possible themes for the readings, but only the 2 most voted will be the future readings on this blog! 

Thank you so much! You hit the nail on the head with the creative part. When I opened this blog, I spent quite a while thinking about how I was going to decorate it, what readings I was going to do. In fact, I think I had the first one halfway done before I even opened the blog. I put a lot of effort and screen time into it.

I think that’s what made this bother me a bit more. I still have a lot to polish and improve, and even though I haven’t been very active since November, I hope I can continue and get better at it. The combination of feeling burnout from personal matters and then finding out about that was just bad timing. I really considered deleting this blog because of this. But these little messages have encouraged me a lot. I might actually leave this account as it is and not be too brash about it, lol 🫶🏽💛

Addressing an Ongoing Issue Before My Return

I have noticed strong similarities between my content and this person's ever since I created my blog, and just a few days later, this person @/hermetiqa changed the aesthetic of theirs. I know i am a small blog with less than 400 followers and i disappear a lot. I have had sad experiences with plagiarism before, people have stolen my work (tarot and non tarot), and even if this isn’t exactly that, it’s really frustrating when someone with a bigger blog starts taking a lot of inspiration from you, never acknowledges it, you block them, and even after being blocked, they come back and keep doing it.

There’s no problem with being inspired, the issue is the context and how often it happens. Especially because this person changed their aesthetic after I opened my blog, along with their masterlist. I only found out now that they kept going because some friends outside my tarot blog told me. My last post was in November and guess what? So was theirs. I don’t know them, and they don’t know me. But the vibe here for me stinks bad. There’s also one thought that crossed my mind, even if it sounds silly: their blog has been around longer than mine, so what if I come back and they do it again? I won't feel comfortable because they made it weird. They could have said: oh and this masterlist was inspired by clairdelune. Like, they have paid readings, and are gaining money out of people. If you are having a business at least be transparent and support newcomers with their small business too when there's something you like or something you take inspo from.

PSA: I don't want anyone to give me advice on how to proceed, I just want to vent about this and not feel like I'm crazy. Even if it doesn't seem like it, this takes A LOT of time and days. Making tarot readings for a lot of public is draining because of the energies, and then decorating and coming up with something to make it look attractive is also draining. It's not a crime to get inspired, but the way this person has handled it has made me angry and feel a very bad energy around it.

For context this was their blog before:

It was simple, cute, straight to the point with three pictures. When you went down to read your pile, no section of "signs" with mbti or astrological placements where there. I love mbti, i checked their readings superficially and never noticed them referencing them. Here, you can see it for yourself:

then here's where it all started for me. This is what their masterlist looked like before:

Now this is what it looked like after taking inspiration from me and not even changing the roman numbers. Just changing small details but the essence is there. That's the difference with inspo and copy. You can take inspo from someone but the essence is going to be yours. If they did not change a few little tiny things, this would be confused with mine.

After this I blocked them. My thought process was: If they are a big blog and can do this with no one raising their eyebrows, It's safe to say they could even take inspo from my pictures and even readings. I don't know them, I don't know if this could be a one time thing or something that can continue, or worse: something that can enter plagiarism. I was hoping this would be enough for them to never see my blog again. But no. It kept going. At least they haven't copied what i write as I am aware.

Now, this can get tricky because unlike plagiarism, this is more inspiration based. Which is not a crime, but again, this being done heavily, with no acknowledgement whatsoever because i am a lesser known blog and after getting blocked? Not so nice and too much to be coincidence. Check the dates.

Same months, and this one took two weeks because before that, they posted another reading in between. I mean, putting floating png objects is not a trademark. But after I blocked them for what they did with my masterlist it pissed me off. Right now, them gaining more interactions with their post after this and with no acknowledgement is what did not sit well with me. It is hard to be a new blog in the tarot community and opening a ton of ask games for people to then unfollow you when they get their energy and reading from you and never interact with your blog again. Specially when this was a chance for you to get some money for college. But then again, seeing the strong similarities gets tricky, but you can see the inspiration.

Mine:

Theirs:

They never posted that section before. You can see it in their readings before, right? So when I started posting it too, guess what? they did it too. You know, it doesn’t feel fair that even after blocking them so they would leave me alone and find someone else to get inspired by, they still have this recurrent thing with me and might keep doing it with anything new I come up with. Because i stopped posting readings, the last reading I posted was the same theme (romantic partner) and with strong similarities as mine. I have not posted ever since. The one before that for me was future spouse related and theirs too. You know what's crazy? Mine got a lot of trouble and issues with the aesthetic I had to pull it down. This person's energy is so down heavy it made me put down my reading.

This can be called speculation, but we are in a spiritual community and I believe this could not be a coincidence and their energy towards me is not a good one. You can check the date. All in november. This is also a warning for other tarot readers, if you are sensitive like me with people's vibes, beware when opening a tarot blog.

They don't just do it with one thing and move on, they keep doing it with several things even after not being well received by my end, and it becomes annoying and it literally made me put my own post down.

I just want to leave this here before closing this blog and moving on, because honestly this hasn't been my year and I know it’s just starting, but little things like this don't give me a good vibe to keep running such an open blog to any audience. The energy is so draining and I want to do impulsive things like deleting my posts. Because I start thinking back to times where people straight up stole my work or envied it and posted it as theirs and I don't want that happening again.

Again, please, be mindful with your comments. If you have something rude to say, keep it.

i have 2 more asks left to finally reach 15!

Question: Who is my future spouse?

Thanks a lot 🖤💕

Who is E's future spouse?

10 of pentacles rx, 2 of cups

Your future spouse has definitely been through it with being too generous in the past, but that's actually made them pretty wise about how they share their time and energy now. Quiet and thoughtful. They are introverted. They will be sweet and kind. They've totally figured out that genuine connections matter way more than material stuff, which makes them amazing at relationships (I’m talking emotionally open: closeness/intimacy and mutual respect). They're done with fake connections and know exactly what they want. Independent. They appreciate connections but are willing to let go if something does not serves them anymore (woah, healthy! they will indeed learned from their past). They're gonna be lovable and super devoted to building something real with you.

Saturn in Aries

As you may already know, we will be entering saturn in aries soon. May 24th to be exact. Saturn speaks of independence, questioning power figures, being more direct in having enough of mistreatment but can also fall into violence and more aggressive behaviour. Perhaps it is being felt in your daily life/around your day to day. It is important to stand up for yourself, but it is also important to control your immaturity. Aries is the first sign of the zodiac. The child. Saturn is best found in its opposite sign, Libra. But that does not mean that there is nothing we cannot learn from Saturn in Aries! Personally, Saturn is one of the malefic planets that worries me the most. I hope that in the coming years we will be able to learn and cope as best we can.
