unmaskingthedivine:

Here’s a little spread I threw together to analyze attraction, whether it be towards another person, a hobby, a lifestyle, or what have you. 

1 – The Roots: Source.

This card alludes to the past in some way – it may be a preference you’ve developed or a defining experience that is influencing the attraction. (What kind of “soil” is it rooted in?)

2 – The Stem: Substance. 

This card indicates the quality of the attraction and how it’s currently manifesting. (Is it medicinal, or beneficial in some way? Is it poisonous, or invasive?)

3 – The Flower: Potential.

This card represents a potential outcome of exploring or pursuing this attraction. (Does it bear nourishing fruit, or beautiful flowers? Or thistles?) 

4 – The Thorns: Shadow.

This card may illustrate something potentially harmful inherent in the attraction (or about the object of attraction itself) that’s being overshadowed by fantasy or otherwise overlooked. It could also be a personal quality or value that’s being neglected in favor of this attraction. 

5 – Prune: 

This card may point to where you’re being overly idealistic, or how the attraction may be interfering with other aspects of your life. It suggests where its influence may be getting out of control – where you might like to consider intervening or “cutting back”.

6 – Fertilize: 

This card advises how you can tend to the attraction in a healthy, realistic way – some considerations or “nutrients” that might promote its growth.
