As someone who struggles with depression and therefore motivation to keep up with my tarot practice at times, it was very encouraging to hear you two say that it isn't about the amount of times you do a practice, but the fact that you're connecting with the practice on a deep level instead. I'm excited to see where you guys take this series! ❤
YESSS this makes so much sense to me ... like for me, in numerology, 4's are stability but 8's are structure (4 + 4, stability on top of stability = established structure) and I lovvvve this way of looking at it!
This is super potent to me right now. As I watched this I came to the realization that I don't really feel connected to much these days. I have things that I do and get enjoyment from. I enjoy the art, handling my decks, and being involved on the social media aspect, but I don't feel really connected. A huge part of that is my mental space over the past 3 years has taken a beating. I will be taking a good look at what Practice needs to be for me to re-form that sense of connection and intent.
I LOVE this 💕 You guys compliment each other so beautifully. Very excited for all the episodes to come! For me when I hear “practice” I think “practice makes perfect”. Don’t worry, I’ve abandoned the idea of perfection long ago lol! BUT now when I think of “perfect” I think of being in flow so for me practice is a stepping stone towards getting into flow… if that makes sense 💖
I personify everything! My vehicles, my sewing machines, my art, my books, my cards, etc.😊 This is a great collaboration. I'm looking forward to the series. If anyone ever saw my "practice" they would wonder if I had one at all. Sometimes I do a reading daily, then I won't pull a card for a week. But, whether I actually do a spread or not, I am always shuffling and playing with my cards. I love having them in my hands and looking at the images. Some days I just ask them for a story. Often I get a channeled message through them. Occassionally, the artwork will inspire me to create something. There are so many facets to using the cards. They're my happy place. I look forward to gleaning new ways of using them.
I’m autistic and it’s very hard for me to understand the cards and get motivated to use them, this really inspired me and I realized I was taking everything too literal and I was stressing too much over not doing it everyday or feel like I’m doing a disservice to my cards, thank you so much
D’aww, my cup runneth over seeing both your faces together again! 🥰 This was awesome, and I can practically hear the collective sigh of relief out here in the viewership after you two validated how not perfect and consistent practices can be. Great new series, and thanks as always!
I am so excited about this series! I have been wanting to change my practice for a while as I feel like I am not getting as much out of it anymore. It will be interesting to see what other people do in theirs for inspiration!😊
When talking social media, " Don't compare someone else's highlight reel to your bloopers" genius. I love it! As someone who struggles with some self-esteem issues around my yoga and tarot worlds and plays the compare game with herself, I needed to hear this. Love you guys channels!
A great idea! Thank you. Ive only been reading Tarot a little over 3 years. Ive taken many (like 6?) classes, some beginner, some intermediate, but this idea of practice was never really broached. I struggle still to find my own "practice," especially since i dont have that in person community very often. And I focus often on the shoulds and not the meaningful stuff. Sad its a whole month til the next one! Ill be patient! Looking forward to the personification episode!
For me, it's about cultivating mindfulness and remembering that only my Egoic self gets caught up in all the 3D world energetic cords attached to time. My Spirit self doesn't conceptualize time. As long as I'm in a mindful state, anything I ritualize or practice for myself- whenever I do it and no matter how regularly, or not-is happening in the Now, spiritually.
Thanks, Dawn Michelle!!!🥰🌞 I've been following you since your Boho Tarot days of last summer/early autumn-and Lisa, Dani, Dustin, Kelly etal, as well. The first video of yours that I saw back then was a deck modification! 🤦😂 After that, I saw a video of Lisa's where she talked about wanting to modify her deck... just like yours!!! 🤦🤦🤦😂😳 I think it was the Druidcraft Tarot. While I still don't see myself modifying any of my decks, my feelings about deck modifications has evolved drastically since last autumn. 🧙 I am sooo excited about this new series you and Lisa have just started. I'm here for it! Can't wait to hear the wisdom, born of blood-sweat-and-tears experiences, that you both are about to impart! Thanks for your transparency and willingness to share!!!💐💜
Loved this so much. Infusing practice with your own personality is a wonderful thing it makes everything we all do so different and unique from person to person. I love this ❤
What I’d love to hear is how you fit it all in your daily routine. Do you get up and read right away? Do you wait until after work? Etc… while I understand everyone is different, I’d love to have some ideas as I feel life is so busy/rushed and to fit the tarot and meditation in properly is always a struggle for me.
I think I’ve done some old videos on it, but that was pre-pandemic and things have shifted and changed since then. I’ll definitely make a note to share more about my daily routine. 😋
I don't know if anyone else said this in the comments but I think a good word for what makes something a practice is the intention behind it. Anyway, this has come at a great time for me because I haven't had a tarot practice for the last 8-10 months and last night I just felt pulled to start again. Edited because you both say intention later on 😅
This was wonderful ladies. I enjoyed hearing your thoughts on this. I totally agree with pretty much everything you have said here. There is tons I do not share. There were months and months that I didn't feel safe to share any of my journal because the amount of personal things that were in there. Because I am in a much better place now because of all that work, my journals I feel have been much lighter. I think practice is what I do because I choose to in my life for various reasons, it doesn't mean that it is this rigid routine, but it is a commitment to myself. I get super bored with routine actually and love to change things up. As far as the beauty in my journals that is also part of my expression because it brings me so much joy to be creative. This is also something that I have done for years. I have had many businesses over the years that revolve around my artistic expression. Being artistic and creating art is more of a need than a desire. I can easily become depressed if I cannot express myself in some sort of artistic way, and I have always been this way. I even dream about design and interior decorating and designing clothing and products and all that. That isn't for everyone, and if someone isn't doing that it doesn't mean that their practice is any less valid than mine or if someone expresses themselves through words it doesn't mean their practice is more valid than mine. It is all personal and based on our own individual personalities and souls expression. I look forward to this series, from two of my most favorite ladies. 😍😍😍
Thank you Dawn and Lisa, That was so much fun just listening to the different methods you both do already. And also how they have come into your lives. Looking forward to the next one over on Lisa's Channel. This series is going to be so exciting to watch and I am hoping to learn a lot along the way also. Take Care lovely Ladies. Terri from Australia 🦘 🇦🇺 💜
Amazing! Makes my heart so happy that you two are doing this series. Also, what a great discussion on this topic. I think, because I’m so much newer that my practices are “in development.” It does take experimentation and time before one really settles into solid connections. Thank you both for this! Can’t wait to see what’s next. ❤❤❤
What a great series, can't wait for the next one!! Im still pretty new so I'm experimenting with what different ways and places to establish a practice. just set up a little table in my craft room for all my 'goodies'. Due to some back issues I also take my cards to my 'comfy' chair in the livngroom but then think this isn't so 'spiritual' or a real practice but I guess it doesn't really matter as long as you know your intention and you're doing it. Thanks for doing this series!!
I deal with disabling chronic illness. Most of my readings are done while I'm in bed and using a lap desk. That's where I'm the most physically comfortable, which means I can focus and concentrate the best. I can't process my readings if I'm physically uncomfortable. Doesn't make them any less spiritual. We don't have to make ourselves physically uncomfortable or debilitated for our practice to be "spiritual." 💖
Absolutely! It’s not about the stuff or the why, it’s about the why that makes it meaningful. I pull cards all over my house. When the intention is there, the work is meaningful. 🥰
OMG I've died and gone to heaven!!!!! This has literally MADE MY WEEKEND and I haven't even watched yet. Yay, love.... oh no there will be a huge spending spree after this. thank you. Best collaboration EVER!!! (But also not Three Fat Readers highlight of my life!)
Many times, if we don't share on social media , it doesn't mean that we don't do it in private, I have two journals and I really enjoy this type of connection with my cards. Many times feels almost obliged to post everything every day and that stresses me out. We need this kind of talks. Thank you both 😊 🙏
I think that’s a very real pressure in this day and age. But it’s okay to keep things for yourself and not everyone needs to be let in on your private work. That’s important to keep in mind for sure. 🥰
I am interested in working more on personal growth, positive enlightenment. I feel that I have worked past the trauma healing. Have either of you worked in this area? If you can you share decks or spreads that you have used?
I’m so excited for this series. And I loved your first video was about practice because this is something I’ve been thinking in my own life. What do I want my tarot practice to look and feel like? How can I maintain that practice? Do I need more or less?
A great video with plenty of food for thought. I agree with your comments on frequency - practice does not need to be at a set regular time at all. For me personally, tarot practice is however one of the most important aspects of developing one's tarot knowledge - as the saying goes, practice makes perfect, so it does imply some sort of regular attention to this work. And I think this is a really important aspect that needs to be more showcased on youtube, hence why I started my "tarot in practice" playlist series - it might be actual readings, it might be ritual work, it might be tarot spreads, but it all has in common the practical application of tarot in day to day life. Thank you for this discussion 😊
@@DawnMichelleTarot Thank you, it's a bit of a mixed bag of goodies - but basically encompasses readings that I do or spreads that I try, and how I interpret the cards I receive. So it's very "hands on" if you like. I guess because for me, when I started on the tarot journey - and even now - I am fascinated by the actual process of a tarot reading - the ritual, the shuffling, laying of the cards, and how a reader interprets those cards in the context of their position in the spread and question.
What a neat collaboration! I'm very excited to watch these. I'm a lot like dive right into the new thing full force lol then pick stuff out that doesn't work.
This is wonderful to see and hear. You both are the people 1 and 2 who I turned to in my first days in Tarot almost three years ago. You have both not only helped me grow a Tarot collection but have also shown me how to engage with these cards and engage in a tarot community. Im so deeply thankful.
Such an interesting discussion on routine, habit, ritual, practice. One thing about practice, for me, is somehow through the practice, I seek to improve. To improve the parts of me I want to become better (not the best word for what I mean). A natural process. Thank-you too, for mentioning authenticity as not sharing everything, but sharing your truth for what you choose to share. Knowing boundries, mine and others in my life is an important part of my life.....dare I say practice? lol Excited for this series, I also personify my decks, plants, skullies almost everything really. Can't wait for that topic!!!
As someone who struggles with depression and therefore motivation to keep up with my tarot practice at times, it was very encouraging to hear you two say that it isn't about the amount of times you do a practice, but the fact that you're connecting with the practice on a deep level instead. I'm excited to see where you guys take this series! ❤
💜💜💜
I believe 'Practice' is Structure. An intentional behaviour of improvement.
That’s a great definition! 🥰
YESSS this makes so much sense to me ... like for me, in numerology, 4's are stability but 8's are structure (4 + 4, stability on top of stability = established structure) and I lovvvve this way of looking at it!
@@Lisa_Papez wow yes!
This is super potent to me right now. As I watched this I came to the realization that I don't really feel connected to much these days. I have things that I do and get enjoyment from. I enjoy the art, handling my decks, and being involved on the social media aspect, but I don't feel really connected. A huge part of that is my mental space over the past 3 years has taken a beating. I will be taking a good look at what Practice needs to be for me to re-form that sense of connection and intent.
Yes to the fact that authenticity doesn’t mean you share everything ❤
omg Chateau Picard ftw ❤
It’s one of my favorites. I’m loving hearing from people who noticed. 😁
Something to look forward every month! thanks Lisa and Dawn!
I LOVE this 💕 You guys compliment each other so beautifully. Very excited for all the episodes to come! For me when I hear “practice” I think “practice makes perfect”. Don’t worry, I’ve abandoned the idea of perfection long ago lol! BUT now when I think of “perfect” I think of being in flow so for me practice is a stepping stone towards getting into flow… if that makes sense 💖
loved this!! I really liked all you had to say on boundaries and authenticity!
Thank you so much! Those are important parts of it that I don’t think get discussed near enough. 🥰
We both have feels about that for sure!!
Thank you both! I enjoy your collaborations so much and this comes just at the right time!
I personify everything! My vehicles, my sewing machines, my art, my books, my cards, etc.😊 This is a great collaboration. I'm looking forward to the series. If anyone ever saw my "practice" they would wonder if I had one at all. Sometimes I do a reading daily, then I won't pull a card for a week.

I look forward to gleaning new ways of using them.
I can’t wait for the next one too! Personification is a bit part of my language as well. 🥰
I’m autistic and it’s very hard for me to understand the cards and get motivated to use them, this really inspired me and I realized I was taking everything too literal and I was stressing too much over not doing it everyday or feel like I’m doing a disservice to my cards, thank you so much

D’aww, my cup runneth over seeing both your faces together again! 🥰 This was awesome, and I can practically hear the collective sigh of relief out here in the viewership after you two validated how not perfect and consistent practices can be. Great new series, and thanks as always!
Passion is a big part of practice what you feel that passion surge for ❤❤❤
This was absolutely wonderful and helpful to watch! Thank you both for creating this series!
What a fun series and a great cooperation! Looking forward to next month!
I am so excited about this series! I have been wanting to change my practice for a while as I feel like I am not getting as much out of it anymore. It will be interesting to see what other people do in theirs for inspiration!😊
just started video but I cant even explain how excited I am for this. I love you both.
Same!🎉❤
Same here!! 💜🙂
YAY! :) We are excited about it!!

Thank you! Wonderful content, knowledge, interesting and fun. So great!!!
Yaaaaay!! Always pumped to have y’all add to my practice and perspective. 🥳
Great conversation, ladies! Thank you so much.
So stoked for this series!! Also loving Dawn’s shirt 🖖🏻

This is such a cool collaboration 💕🌻💕 Super stoked that this popped up in my recommendations, excited for this series!
This is really helpful, I listened whilst doing my midsummer journal review and planning the next 6 months, there were so many reminders in here.
That sounds lovely and I’m so glad you enjoyed it! 🥰
I am interested in working more on personal growth, positive enlightenment. I feel that I have worked past the trauma healing. Have either of you worked in this area? If you can you share decks or spreads that you have used?
Thought that came up: Practice is commitment to the ritual of tarot, ritual is commitment to being in the moment of that practice.
Ooh I love that! So beautifully stated. 🥰
