first of all woaaaaaaaaah an entire major arcana spread ૮꒰´°`⑅꒱ა ,,, that's letting me know immediately that your relationship is a very very passionate , fiery relationship
i made a little list with tropes and the cards i paired with them and shuffled & the world card came up first which was the “opposites attract” trope and it worked as confirmation , because even before i started your reading i was getting the vibe that you’re human in your dr and , well , he’s a vampire ANBABAHSDFBAJSF
not only that but the cutesy pfp you have made me think of my fave ever ever trope dynamic where like one partner looks all sweet and like a living , breathing angel and the other is like . . . here's one of my favourite artworks to demonstrate the point i'm trying to make T T like person a is very angel-esque and person b looks like they crawled out from the underworld pairing LOLLLLASDFIAKDJF
i'm ngl when i saw the tower card i jumped ໒꒰ྀི ╥﹏╥ ꒱ྀིა momentarily considered putting it back and reshuffling , but decided against it bc it’s the card that popped up when i asked for clarity so i was like fuck it man we ball T T i don't get the feeling that it’s in its negative connotation here because it’s clarifying the jedgement card , i mostly feel that it's telling the story that your friends warned against being with him because of his general . . . disposition ꒰ like we both know how he comes off like first impression wise ໒꒰ྀི × ˕ ×。꒱ྀི১ ꒱
and i feel like the aforementioned difference between you is why the people around you were wary when you expressed your affections for him bc they were like huh ??? you’re a sweetheart and he’s so . . . damon 💀💀💀 but dw user fruitswrl . . . i get the appeal ,, i see you and you see me LAMAJNDIFJIKJF
꒰ off topic ,, but i love it when this happens !!!! i feel like I’m being validated with my train of thought bc as i'm going on abt the stark difference between the two of you " the cowgirl and the dandy " by miss dolly parton starts playing 🤭🤭🤭🤭 ꒱
with the hierophant placed beside the tower card , i get the feeling that he changes a lot on how you look at life in general . he changes a few misconceptions you have about the vampiric lifestyle , changes how you view him from the first impression you had of him , etc . etc .

the first thing he noticed about you is how generally unafraid you are of him 😭😭 like i’m sure he’s used to people cowering before him when being introduced to him , but with you , you were almost nonchalant about it , like you did nawwwwwt gaf LMAIAISIFJAI
idk why i’m getting this idea that like he tried to intimidate you / make you shiver your timbers , but you just blinked at him like . . . okay ??? . . . anyway . . . 😭😭😭😭😭😭 that’s a very rare thing for him to experience so it like stuck out to him pffftttt
with the very authoritative energy of both the emperor and king of swords , it’s something that genuinely he still thinks back to long long after you two get together , like he’s so stumped like how were you so chill ?? is he not as intimidating as he thinks ?? LMAIOOOOAJSDAJSDH
꒰ another off topic comment , but before i even shuffled the playlist i have for these reading , i was thinking of smooth operator by sade and i was like " huh weird okay . . . " AND LITERALLY IN THE MIDDLE OF ME READING YOUR CARDS IT PLAYS JSJAAJAJAJ mind you this playlist has like 90 different songs so i think that was v silly asdsjhfjkadf ꒱
on the topic of smooth operator , i get the feel like you weren’t fazed by his charms , like it ties in to the whole unaffected and not scared of him thing i mentioned ,,, like maybe he tried to rizz you up and you were like ummm . . alrighty . . o_o ꒰ even though you were or weren't internally screaming shahahaahdfja you just didn’t let it show outwardly at first ꒱
songs that may resonate w/ your dr relationship ⏦゚♡︎ ࿐all mine by brent faiyaz ࿐smooth operator by sade ࿐cowgirl & the dandy by dolly parton ꒰ peak song btw . . . love this song with my heart LOLLL ꒱
i feel like i’m losing my mind jejwbwbwjqjw
can someone please give me advice on something? i’ve never really seen anyone dealing with what i have been, and i just don’t know what to do anymore.
for the billionth time i’ve tried to shift subconsciously in a dream. and this time, like other times, i wasn’t even lucid yet i was convinced i shifted. but this was just a dream. and like i’ve said before, this has happened multiple times, in different ways too.
today i was convinced i shifted, not to any dr of mine but in the dream i was ok with that. i don’t remember what was happening before really but i just started doing a method i guess till eventually it “ worked ” i didn’t have my senses, but i focused on all of them until i was “ fully grounded ”.
but i am certain it was a dream, no matter what i thought at the time, i didn’t have all my senses. it wasn’t secure like real life.
it’s honestly frustrating that this keeps happening. so maybe someone out there has some advice.
𝜗𝜚 all you need is trust.
shifting content.
i think many people may not have been able to shift because when attempting they subconsciously start checking the physical plane. "are my surroundings changing? am i in my dr room? am i feeling any symptoms?"
this action just shows that you don't trust yourself, that you still don't believe that shifting is within you.
allow me to explain:
we have been shifting ever since we got out of our mothers' wombs. existing = shifting. the difference is that now you're aware of that, but essentially, you HAVE shifted before. countless times. shifting IS within you.
so, why is that, when attempting, your first instinct is to check your surroundings & look for symptoms? in other words, look for any sort of reassurance that you are shifting. and then panic and feel discouraged when you don't find it.
that's the problem. you have been shifting for years and years now, every decision you made was a shift. AND, whenever you made a decision, you didn't look for reassurance or proof of that decision happening, did you?
moving your consciousness to an alternative reality is the same, it's a decision. you just need to trust yourself, because you know you've done it before, so why wouldn't you be able to do it now?
when you trust yourself, you're letting your mind simply step into something that has always existed. like when your eyes blink without you questioning it. when you're walking and your legs are moving without you questioning it. you re letting it know it's a decision. you're certain of it. there's no "why?" or "how?", there's no "proof" either.
so, next time you attempt, lay down or whatever, and KNOW you are in your desired reality. just let go. let your mind fully acknowledge that you are there. trust yourself by simply knowing.
that's it. that's literally all you need.
ok goodbye go shift
(I want to make it clear I’m not coming here to rant about not being able to shift)
Shifting diary entry (and asking for help/advice) #5
I’ve had many different relationships when it comes to shifting, a lot of them being really toxic and bad. I used to be so obsessed with shifting (in the worst way possible tbh) it was damaging my mental and physical well being. I mean… I learned a way to escape this life as a teenager already dealing with mental health issues along with toxic parents and other life issues, I am absolutely grateful to have learned about shifting but I understand why my younger self took things a bad way. All I used to do was live and breathe shifting, it’s all I thought about and did. I would attempt multiple times a day and sometimes end up in depressive episodes due to still being in a reality I hated. Obviously this led me to neglect my self and the relationships and responsibilities I had here. My baby sister noticed all these things and really helped me get back on a healthier path.
Now I can say I have the best relationship I’ve ever had with shifting. It is not unhealthy, and I have a lot of new perspectives I have on shifting that my younger self didn’t. Despite still living in a toxic environment, and having issues here, I’ve found a way to balance shifting and this life.
Buuuttt… recently (as I’ve said in a previous diary entry) I have decided to put my focus on a new reality. And it has been a lot of fun. I’ve never really tried to actually focus on going to another DR that hasn’t been my better CR DR. I’ve always daydreamed and made scripts for other realities but I’ve rarely ever tried to go to them, and if I have it was like one attempt and back to my better CR DR.
But this one is sticking around! I feel really connected to this reality and something is making me want to continue.
I attempted to go there last night, I did not have an idea for what I would do to get there (I’ve been putting a lot less emphasis on the “method” bc it doesn’t matter what I do to get there. This was something I’ve struggled with in the past). I felt super confident but I still woke up here.
It has been a very long time since I’ve felt sad from a shifting attempt. I’ve been trying to go to my better CR DR for so long that eventually shifting there just felt kinda forced and monotonous. (A reasons why I changed my focus) So it felt odd today feeling so sad not being there.
I also want to point out that I understand the kind of language I’m using in this post, I know I can ignore the 3D and accept that my desires have been fulfilled, that I actually did shift, etc… but I did wake up and feel these things and I’m just not sure how to navigate things like this in a healthy way.
So if anyone has advice to give please give it I’m all ears to hear others perspectives and advice when it comes to shifting, and today I’m feeling a little down.
THE TARNISHED COMPACT MIRROR, THE WAX SEAL AND THE MAP.
ּ * ˖ ་
·. ˚ ༘ NOW READING ┊ the tarnished compact mirror.
you pick it up, and the weight surprises you—it’s heavier than it looks, as though it’s been carrying the reflections of centuries. the silver is worn, tarnished in that way where it almost looks like smoke trapped under glass. When you open it, the mirror is cracked but still functional, splitting your face into fragments like you’re some living cubist painting.
SO, WHAT DOES IT MEAN? this is the artefact of self-perception. if asking, “who am i in this moment?” and not trusting the answer. shifting is your MO (master opus, obviously), but this mirror is here to remind you: even when you’re mastering realities, you are the through-line. the cracks in the glass is the self you’ve shed in every DR, your multidimensional fingerprints. but be warned: this mirror doesn’t just show you—it shows the version of you others see, too. every smile, every shadow, every flicker of their perspective. it’s asking: are you as fluid as you think, or are you just trying on new faces to escape the old ones?
in your journey, this object suggests a phase of intense self-reflection. maybe you’re realising that even as you leap dimensions, there’s a “you” who stays constant. or maybe you’re questioning whether the roles you’ve played were ever really yours. either way, this mirror says: own the cracks—they’re your history, your kaleidoscope.
A SHATTERED MIRROR STILL SHOWS THE TRUTH—IT JUST LOOKS BETTER IN PIECES.
ּ ⊹ ˖ ࣪
·. ˚ ༘ NOW READING ┊ the wax-seal stamp with no engraving.
when you pick this up, your fingers find grooves where a symbol should be. it’s disarmingly smooth, as though it was made for a crest, a mark, a declaration—but someone forgot to finish it. there’s dried red wax crusted along the edges, as if it’s already sealed a hundred letters, but none of them bore your name.
SO, WHAT DOES IT MEAN? this object is all about potential. it’s an artefact of the unsaid, the unclaimed, the could-have-beens. it’s asking: what are you waiting to mark as your own? shifting is the art of writing yourself into stories, but maybe you’ve been forgetting to sign your name at the end. this blank seal is your reminder that you are the creator of your journey—your identity isn’t a pre-set engraving; it’s something you carve anew every time you shift.
the wax is your legacy—the parts of you that already exist in every DR you’ve touched. even if you haven’t seen it, your presence is felt. maybe you’ve been second-guessing whether you’re leaving a mark or just slipping through realities like a shadow. the seal says: even without a design, you’re sealing the deal. your intentions are enough.
this object speaks to a moment where you’re on the verge of something big, but you’re hesitating. maybe you’re wondering if you’re ready, or maybe you’re holding out for a “perfect” moment. the truth is, the seal doesn’t need engraving—it’s what you choose to imprint that matters.
THE BLANK SPACE IS WHERE THE STORY BEGINS.
ּ ⊹ ˖ ࣪
·. ˚ ༘ NOW READING ┊ the paper map with worn folds.
it’s soft in your hands, the kind of paper that’s been unfolded and refolded a thousand times. there are stains on it—coffee rings, maybe tears. the ink is fading, but the routes are still clear: zig-zagging lines, X’s marking spots, little hand-drawn symbols that mean nothing to anyone but the original cartographer.
SO, WHAT DOES IT MEAN? this is the artefact of guidance and exploration. the map isn’t just a tool; it’s a record of journeys past. it’s been used, loved, and abandoned—but never destroyed. and it’s showing you one thing: you’re not lost—you’re exactly where you need to be.
the X’s are goals you’ve already hit, DRs you’ve already conquered. the stains are the messy parts of the journey—the nights you stayed awake scripting, the mornings you woke up and didn’t feel “there” yet. but the beauty of this map is that it’s a living document. the roads change as you change, and the hand-drawn symbols, those are little pieces of you left behind in every reality.
this object says your journey is not linear—it’s a spiral, looping back to places you thought you’d left behind. maybe you’re revisiting old DRs, or maybe you’re realising that every shift is connected, even if the roads look different. the map is urging you to trust the process—what looks like a dead end might just be a fold waiting to be smoothed out.
THE MAP REMEMBERS, EVEN IF YOU DON'T.
ּ * ˖ ་
these objects aren’t just trinkets—they’re archetypes of your journey. you’re the cracked mirror, the blank seal, the folded map, all at once. keep them close. and remember: every artefact tells a story, but it’s up to you to write the ending.

shifting diary entry #14
4/27/25
࿔ this morning i woke up about and hour or two before my alarm was supposed to go off and when i went back to sleep at some point my dream began to be about shifting.
࿔ i was talking to my sister and she confessed to me that she was going to start shifting again ( she knows about shifting and after she shifted once a couple years ago she decided to not do it again )
࿔ i thought that i should probably give her some advice and thought to tell her things like you don’t need a method, you can use one of course but it’s not necessary. shifting isn’t physical, it’s mental. i talked to her about letting go, and that all shifting is is becoming aware of different circumstances, a different reality.
࿔ she confided in me on her views on shifting, which were probably just mine anyways.
࿔ then she just told me comforting and motivational words. told me she believed in me and that she knows i can do it too. ( which isn’t the first time someone in my dream told me this )
࿔ i’m not entirely sure what to make of this, but i wish i didn’t wake up in the middle of it probably was gonna be a another dream where i subconsciously tried to shift

gonna start taking shifting seriously. i’m gonna start taking my advice instead of giving it. it’s time for me to actually take action. i don’t wanna be in this reality anymore and i wont.
Yall spirituality has been on the win
I have contact with a god, two guides, and have been shifting like CRAZY
I know how to shift on every try now. I know what was holding me back. I wasn't accepting shifting. There was so many "whys" and what ifs that I never stopped to accept the idea that I COULD shift. Accepting vs knowing isn't really talked about that much.
I had been so caught up in the why that I never spent time to think that it was okay now. I needed to accept the fact that a better life really WAS possible. And then it was "well if that was possible, why hadn't I gotten it yet? Why was I robbed of opportunity?" But that doesn't matter now. I had to accept the fact this reality isn't actually comfortable.
When a baby is born into a burning building, they never know how suffocating the smoke is until they get a breath of fresh air. Shifting is that breath of fresh air. It's scary because you've never smelled the fresh grass. You've never felt the sun on your face. The warmth isn't burning. And that's SCARY.
But you HAVE to accept the fact that the world isn't burning. You have to leave the heat of the house to feel the warmth of the sun. The cold of the pool and ocean.
I had to accept the fact comfortability was higher somewhere else. That I deserve better. That was what was holding me back. I can do better.
And since then, I've known EXACTLY how to shift. Everything just snapped.
