Started reading Lord of the Rings for the first time earlier today so here are some things I remember before I go into work:
The prologue reads kind of like a textbook of Hobbits and took a while to read, but it was interesting.
Bilbo still gets dwarves visiting! And Gandalf!
The party was huge and Bilbo's speech was funny and worth it with everyone's reactions to his disappearance lol
The power of the Ring over Bilbo is a little scary, but he resisted. :)
Bilbo left with three dwarves!! Who are they??
Most everything left to Frodo
A long time later, Gandalf tells Frodo the history of the ring, more or less, including the story of Gollum
Sam! Bag End has no eaves! He could not have been dropping eaves!
The riders on the road... actually terrifying.

"El orgullo es pecado por algo" (Pride is a sin for a reason)

I wish I could read this book for the first time again. Seriously, this book still lives in my brain rent-free and deserves the place there. It's such a good story. One of my absolute favorite books in the world. What's a book you wish you could read again for the first time?

Hii. May I get a lenormand reading? I would like to knw if I will move into a new house this month(July) and even if it's not this month, will the new house be exactly what I have always wished for? By that I mean, will I be satisfied and like it? -A♊
Oh btw, I forgot to mention to change my question. I asked if I will move house in July(which I didn't) so I would like to ask for a specific timeframe instead. Still Lenormand reading tho😊 The other questions are the same -A♊
Hii, hope you're having a good day ⭐
I went with book passages for this – sorry – but I did use Lenormand to confirm the interpretations (and that I should use bibliomancy).
Will I move into a new house this month?
— If not, when?
Alice's Adventures in Wonderland (1865) Chapter IV: THE RABBIT SENDS IN A LITTLE BILL
«She stretched herself up on tiptoe, and peeped over the edge of the mushroom, and her eyes immediately met those of a large blue caterpillar, that was sitting on the top, with its arms folded, quietly smoking a long hookah, and taking not the smallest notice of her or of anything else.»
You can move once you get your affairs in order. There might be a dissonance between wanting to go and (being able to) take the necessary steps. Try to go over the process more closely and think of what you can change.
Maybe you should look for (information about) available houses in another place, or you're counting on the wrong person (to move with and/or help you). There could be something that needs to be paid first, causing some distractions and delays.
Will the new house be exactly what I have always wished for?
— Will I be satisfied and like it?
Through the Looking-Glass, and What Alice Found There (1872) Chapter III: LOOKING-GLASS INSECTS
«Indeed I sha'n't! Alice said rather impatiently. I don't belong to this railway journey at all – I was in a wood just now – and I wish I could get back there!»
It doesn't sound like you'll be very excited about this move... The context of this passage is a train ride, so it could be about moving anxiety (since it can be very stressful – speaking from experience). I'm going to include a third passage to see if you'd feel better once you get to the actual house, or for some kind of advice on how to avoid this or deal with it, if unavoidable.
Through the Looking-Glass, and What Alice Found There (1872) Chapter IV: TWEEDLEDUM AND TWEEDLEDEE
«He's dreaming now, said Tweedledee: and what do you think he's dreaming about?»
Remember to keep yourself at the center of this decision and not let it be swayed by others who aren't even involved or won't be affected by it. Be careful not to lose sight of your desires nor conform to external ideas that can end up confusing or “confining” you.
Thank you for trusting me to read for you. I would love to know what you think: if this resonates with your circumstances, and what comes of it. Don't be afraid to give me honest feedback and suggestions, after all, it'll help me become a better reader :]
Do you want to expand on this or have another topic to explore? Leave me a (follow-up) question!
You can always include the numbered tag associated with your reading(s), and I'll add it to the future posts as well, so they are identified as belonging to the same querent, and easier to find – check below, next to #OMEN DEAL.
For Ko-fi tips (zero pressure)
I honor the spirit who helps with my practice – for winding and guiding my path, learning how to sit with me, and being a light to read by.

Okay I'm so happy and I need to share this here:
Today I made my first tarot reading for a friend and it went really good??? I mean, I asked before if I was able to do reading and the answer was yes - I used my pendulum - and I also asked for Nyx's help before the reading - thinking about this now and almost freaked out because I normally asked for Selene's help, but then remembered that now our work is focused on more practical-witch-stuff - either away the point is: it all went well, I didn't received her answer yet and I'll tell here how it was; But I'm just really happy, I was encouraged to share my gifts and knowledge and since I'm a very insecure person I ignored this for a very long time, but I'm trying my best now and the thing is: a lot of her reading kind helped me? Like, there was certainly things that even tho wasn't for me I was needing to hear.
And stop to think now, I'm pretty sure I have read others tarot readers saying how much they learn with their clients when doing readings.

I have a feeling that beneath the little halo on your noble head There lies a thought or two the devil might be interested to know You're like the finish of a novel that I'll finally have to take to bed You fascinate me so

"(Now) this is how we shall know that we belong to the truth and reassure our hearts before Him in whatever our hearts condemn, for God is greater than our hearts and knows everything. Beloved, if (our) hearts do not condemn us, we have confidence in God."

not to be controversial bc I know this is like…not in line with shifting opinions on fanfic comment culture but if there’s a glaring typo in my work I will NOT be offended by pointing it out. if ao3 fucks up the formatting…I will also not be offended by having this pointed out…
‘looking forward to the next update’ and ‘I hope you update soon!’ are different vibes than a demand, and should be read in good faith because a reader is finding their way to tell you how much they love it. I will not be mad at this.
‘I don’t usually like this ship but this fic made me feel something’ is also incredibly high praise. I’m not going to get mad at this.
even ‘I love this fic but I’m curious about why you made [x] choice’ is just another way a reader is engaging in and putting thought into your work.
I just feel like a lot of authors take any comment that’s not perfectly articulated glowing praise in the exact manner they’re hoping to receive it in bad faith.
fic engagement has been dropping across the board over the last several years, and yes it’s frustrating but it isn’t as though I can’t see how it happens. comment anxiety can be a real thing. the last thing anyone wants to do is offend an author they love, and that means sometimes people default to silence.
idk where I’m going with this I guess aside from saying unless a comment is outright attacking me I’m never going to get mad at it, and I think a lot of authors should feel the same way. ESPECIALLY TYPOS PLZ GOD POINT OUT MY TYPOS.

Salvation is found in no one else, for there is no other name under heaven given to mankind by which we must be saved
Daily Verse First Reading – Acts 4:8-12 8 Then Peter, filled with the Holy Spirit, said to them: “Rulers and elders of the people! 9 If we are being called to account today for an act of kindness shown to a man who was lame and are being asked how he was healed, 10 then know this, you and all the people of Israel: It is by the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, whom you crucified but whom God…
